Gam

The classic 2nd wave black metal sound should be easy to replicate by now, but somehow, most attempts fall flat. Three-piece Gam from Denmark, however, has this icy, raw approach that makes them fit right in. Far from just another Mayham clone, Gam perfectly mixes the classic Norwegian lo-fi forest introspection with the equally classic Norwegian lo-fi mountain monumentalism, and it just works. Gam will bring maximum grimness with a few avantgardish twists, so if you're stuck in the early nineties, this will be on your list.
