Terminus Episode 171 - Sargeist, Franco-Finnish Black Metal, and the Slings and Arrows of Outrageous Fortune

About this episode

The episode discusses the influence of Sargeist on black metal, focusing on their past and recent works.

What happens when you record an all-timer? What happens when you permanently alter the course of an entire genre of music? What happens when a set of very precise techniques enter the basic DNA of an entire generation? On this episode, TDMG and TBMG discuss Sargeist, a band whose influence is so vast it's nearly unnoticed, taking a look at their seminal 2010 record Let the Devil In and their brand new release, Flame Within Flame. Can the band ever achieve the heights of the past? Or, more importantly: should that even be the goal? 0:00:00 - A history of Sargeist, their influence, and Franco-Finnish Black Metal 0:34:55 - Let the Devil In (Moribund Records/World Terror Committee, 2010) 1:36:06 - Interlude - Sargeist - “Let The Devil In,” fr.
