What are your opinions on Shining, Lifelover, Hypothermia, Xasthur and other "depressive" or "suicidal" black metal bands?

Meh. But I fucking love Nyktalgia and Sterbend.

Also, Lyrinx and Self-Inflicted Violence are quality UK acts.

Foulest branch on the Black Metal tree. Is that subgenre still trendy?

Only Kelkum is real! Other bands from that genre simply suck big balls.

Never been a fan of this shit.

I think most of this stuff is pretty lame but I do like Hypothermia, Regnum, and Sterbend.

Always love Xasthur and Shining, both of them make excellent music with a unique touch, I don't think people who really listen to an album like "V - Halmstad" can call this music gay, but for the rest of the "Depressive Black Metal" scene, I just simple don't give a fuck.
But you know, some people are scenester that just like to fit in a scene, and when they hear "Hey, if you listen to this, you're not uber trve morbid satanic metal ov death warrior", they just agree without checking for himself anything at all.

Strid, Bethlehem, Xasthur, Nyktalgia, Singultus, Sterbend, Vhernen, Coldworld, Beatrik, Dolorian, Krohm and Shining (yes, even Shining).

The ten-a-penny "DSBM" trend with bands like "I'm in a Coffin" and "Happy Days" that pop up every single day can fuck right off.

Happy Days and Deep-Pression? Are you fucking kidding me with this fruity bs? Laughing

jesus christ there's some silly shit out there.

Personally I really like stuff like Strid, Marblebog and a few others, but for the most part most of it is really uninspired. However, I've always liked Xasthur but I've become more of a fan since he moved to Hydrahead and branched out his sound to total weirdness. I would put Subliminal Genocide, Defective Epitaph and All Reflections Drained up there with records I hold in high esteem.

I've always prefered bands like Bethlehem and Nortt that blur the edges of the genre but are still totally "depressive" if such a word can be used with a straight face.

There's also the divide between bands that try to promote a message of negativity for others to emulate and those worthless bands that just wallow in their own self-pity. Needless to say the former have clearly done a good job.

Wigrid are fucking awesome too. Are Burzum still lumped in under "depressive"? They were at one time....
