Worst Drakkar releases in your opinion...?

Haunting Chant

list them there

- pagan assault/blacksstorm
- Hiver Noir Lethal Being's Musik
- one of the 3 Empty tapes was awful

EDIT : I haven't listed Svartkrig or Dyster releases as Nokturnal Torment wimpy behaviour on this board prevented me from checking them. Otherwise...

I liked the "Cruce Signati" split, especially Pagan Assault's part...

And about Svartkrig and Dyster, why mention it???
This sounds like a stupid polemic thread, just to say shit about bands you dislike (but Sombre Chemin didn't release anything on Drakkar, too bad isn't it?).

Anyway, I have nothing to answer, since I don't order releases that I might dislike.

Haunting Chant

I actually do like doctrine from Sombre Chemin (too bad, isn't it ?)

I bought theses stuff out of curiosity. Demo buying is about discovering bands for me, not cult items hunting.

my opinion: speaking about CDs, only ANAON - Les Rites is really awful
all other album releases are quite great, even if I'm not able to appreciate stuff like MYRKR/TSJUDER ... well produced and executed, but so derivative in my opinion

Black Assault part on the split with BLACKSSTORM is one the worst thing I've heard ... Celtic Winter obvious ripoff, ridiculous clean vocals ...

Empty: not bad at all, but sometimes so loooooong

quite the contrary, I think that's an interesting idea

I prefer earlier stuff.

That's right.

Speaking of curiosity, I'd like to hear Hiver Noir without buying one of their tapes...

I've already traded my tape, but I guess it's not that hard to find it somewhere else.

Why not buying one? There are 5€ tapes, not 10€ CDs or 15€ LPs...

Whether because I'm too stingy, or just because I think it's not worth spending 5€.

For example, Zarach Baal Tharagh is real fun to hear, but Hiver Noir could be just shit that doesn't even make me laugh.

Mr Nuke

ZBT is great and insane Black-Metal, and the man behind this is surely more dedicated and honest than most of us. But well, about tapes, buy them in a bulk, like the 5 tapes for 20€ Drakkar does, or so. As Haunting Chant said, tapes are good to discover bands.

i really don't understand what is shocking with hiver noir demos?
i've got two of them, and it's not always well played, but who really cares? it's not a collection of mistakes though
and the spirit - cause there's one to my mind - delivered from this demos is fucking good

Dyster demo is a great stuff,
much better than the last mutiilation shit

so, in my opinion pagan assault/blacksstorm is the worst shit released by Drakkar

never heard Hiver Noir

perosus

I honestly can't think of any. It's not just a suck-up maneuver, though. Maybe some things I couldn't get into, like Watain's second album, but it's far from bad.

the Anaon Mcd is a very good stuff, melodic as i like !

I am agree concerning Hiver Noir (i only know the 'Lethal's being music ' release). Ununderstandable production, bad mix and very low musicianship but we can listen some melodic efforts sometimes ...

I don't like too the Tsjuder CD (i don't remember the name at all)

Al the other releases i know are not bad and often good but not genius too (except Hirlorn and Nuit Noire)

I agree about the Lethal demo - there"s someting special there
but the reh.2004 is absolutely terrible

at least this band isn't pretentious at all about their productions
