Isa is quite groovy/moody. Despite dispising black metal I liked it enough to buy the first time I listened to it. Isn't among my favorite albums neither among my 5 star list, but it is a good album. I find their newest better, though.

I've only got ISA and Vertebrae. Vertebrae I didn't like too much and this is my first listen through ISA. The newest, like, only came out a month or so ago, right? Is it worth buying? I'm with you there, I really don't like much black metal at all, except for these guys and Negura Bunget.

Negura lost me with their production. I really cannot swallow lo-fi in 2010. I have some albums in lo-fi, but they are mostly demos from the 70's or prog albums from the 70's, both from Brazil. and the country's first 8 channel studio was only built in 1971 (or 72), and even so it was made by the biggest recording studio at the time, so you can imagine that even digital remastering could not do much justice for those tapes.
But lo-fi albums recorded in the 00's I simply find unacceptable.
And yes, their newest is worth buying. It pretty much follows the path of Isa's: moody and groovy all the way, but still br00tal and kvlt.

Lol @ kvlt.
And indeed, lo-fi is just an abomination. I can accept it with Negura Bunget since the rest of the audio balancing is actually alright, but yes, that's one of the biggest turnoffs of black metal. Alcest have pretty good audio quality for a black metal band.

The album cover of their latest album looks non-frostbitten enought for me to give it a try.
I'm just a bit worried about the shoegazing stuff, since I mostly hate the alternative music from the early 90's, but hell. why not?
