Old Nick - Forest of Grief

Hayduke X Old Nick is so weird. I mean that in a very positive light. There are a lot of disparate elements going on. Raw style vocals over blackened riffs that sometimes seem...like, psychobilly(?) I think there's some accordion in there, and then Dungeon Synth woven in. This album is legit! Favorite track: Dead In The Moat.

deceasing lo-fi, dumb and funny. if you have something against that in metal ur just dumb. totally what im sure most people been craving on metal but havent got their hands yet. and its 1 dollar! buy this shit already! Favorite track: Haunted In The Shire.

scourge05 Very nice. It's hard to choose a favourite song from this album. Favorite track: Dead In The Moat.

𝒩𝑜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝒻𝒿𝑜𝓇𝒹𝑒𝓇 The soundtrack of dreams, black, raw, sumptuous, decadent, glorious dreams.. Favorite track: Tears Shed Over A Medieval Grave.

Old Leech Old Nick start with a base of very good, folk-inflected raw black metal. Many bands would be content to leave it there. But then they go over it with keyboards on the weirdest freaking settings, sounding like noises from an old Zelda game: no choral effects here! The result is surprisingly effective: a hallucinatory journey through forgotten woods. Ave Satanas, ave Old Nick!

truemithrandir The Saint of Blood OMG what a special track! I wish I knew the lyrics! <3<3<3 Favorite track: The Saint of Blood.

about

Raw black metal with dungeon synth elements. buzzing guitars with ghastly synthesizer assault. hauntingly medieval with a wiccan charm.

“Did Nick at any time refer to some person (real or mythic) or does the name go back to Engl. nicker “a water sprite”? In Old English, nicor was a sea monster, and Beowulf met many of them while swimming through the ocean. However, nicker is a word only folklorists today recognize easily, whereas Old Nick is still familiar to many. Some people even think that nickname (from an eke name “additional name”; eke as in eke out one’s salary, related to German auch “also” and so forth) is really Nick name, given intentionally to hoodwink the Devil: confused by a wrong name, the one not given at birth, the Devil will not fetch his victim. More than one etymologist suspected that Old Nick “nicks” (kills) people, that is, cuts them; leaves a notch in them; has something to do with their necks, or taunts them (compare German necken “tease”).”

The author further goes on to postulate that perhaps it comes from “Old Iniquity, the name of the devil in medieval plays.”

Can you have your black metal with no moronic samples, with guitars downtuned to drill holes in your very self, hypnotizing bass lines, drums that are something more than blast beats and vocals that don't need to be soaked in reverb, and on top of it fast, melodic, headbanging and catchy? Yes. p.s. my grandma used to say: never judge a metal album by its intro. YomaBarr
