Band: WeaklingAlbum: Dead As Dreams

Country: United States
This blog needs more Black Metal if we want to live up to its name. Therefore I thought I'd upload this band that a friend of mine told me to check out. As he has been into Black Metal for quite some time he has a good taste in music, and when he talks about a band, it's definitely worth listening to. So I went home, looked them up and the first song that blasted out of my speakers knocked me out of my chair. Weakling plays a style of Black Metal that is just my cup of tea, long songs with great guitarplay and drumming topped with vocals that are characteristic to Depressive Black Metal, full of despair and pain so to speak. Its clearly that Wolves In The Throneroom has been inspired by these guys. If you're looking for extremely raw and gnarly music then you might want to pass this up but if you fancy some really great and well played BM with lots of thought and feelings behind then you don't want to sleep on this one.
Song(s) you should listen to: This Entire Fucking Battlefield. This entire fucking song is fucking great. From start to finish it's a really good but some parts in it is absolutely amazing. You will find a build-up-part about 5 minutes into the song that transfers into a blast-part at 6 minutes that makes you feel like someone just poured a bucket of cold water over you. You might also like the last minutes where the song is slowed down and turns into an mellow and epic outro.

Worth mentioning is the fact that they got their name from the Swans song Weakling off the album Filth.
