An Autumn for Crippled Children is very much blackgaze, with very trace elements of DSBM (mostly on their newest release). As you delve into more straightfoward DSBM, those shoegaze elements are pretty much non-existent. DSBM relies on very minimal, bleak soundscapes and doesn't really contain the complexity of shoegaze.

 

If you really want to get into DSBM, some good places to start, expanding on Moog's list, would be:

 

Woods of Desolation

Austere

Nyktalgia

Photophobia

P.H.T.O.

some early Trist, preferably the album Zrcadlení Melancholie. It's a DSBM masterpiece.

Coldworld

Sterbend has some pretty accessible material. Preferably their album Dwelling Lifeless.

 

I have a bunch more, but I figured I'd keep the list small and efficient.

I don't hate them, but I do find them to be an extremely tedious listen after awhile. For every one enjoyable song they have, they have one unbearably tedious song that's even longer than the aforementioned enjoyable track. The dudes know what they're doing, surely, but they haven't quite grasped HOW to do it.

I've seen some people fawn over them and other people say they suck, so I thought I'd ask. Also, what do you think of the aforementioned An Autumn for Crippled Children?

I'm in the middle of the road about Krallice. They just need to hone their craft a bit, cut about 20 minutes off of each album so they don't get so tedious.

 

I'm actually a big fan of AAfCC. I have all of their full-length releases to date, and I listen to them quite often.

I've listened to Try Not to Destroy Everything You Love and Only the Ocean Knows so far and they are both great. Love how massive they sound even with such lo-fi production.

The only real difference is the message, honestly. Notice how I put white metal in quotes. :P

People are too sensitive about metal.  I mean I can understand not wanting to listen to something if you don't like the message but people get WAY too butthurt about things like Christian Metal.

If I gave a s*** about messages, I wouldn't listen to half of the things I listen to. I just find "white metal" pretty funny because in the midst of a genre that's so blatantly satanic and evil sometimes, you have bands like Vials of Wrath who are like "YAY GOD" and most of the time you can't tell the difference unless you read the lyrics.

 

If you care more about the message than the music, perhaps you should read poetry instead.

Horde is another good example I think, but I haven't really listened to them. 

 

On the topic of black metal, my disappointment for a no-drums-no-vocals Wolves In the Throne room album (which I will still give a fair listen when it releases) has been curbed by the announcement of a new Agalloch album, to be released May 13th. Titled The Serpent & the Sphere. I think the name sounds a bit strange compared to the previous albums but I have no doubt the album will rule considering the quality of their past few releases.
