Ensepulchred - The Night Our Rituals Blackened the Stars
Also on Autopsy Kitchen (2006) is The Night Our Rituals Blackened the Stars, by Indiana's Ensepulchred. The song titles are similarly ridiculous: "Embrace Your Decaying Children and Weep"? "Along Paths Where the Infected Lurk"? They seem to have come from a black metal song title generator (1,2).I really should hate a band like this, where most everything is fake. The drums come from a machine, and keyboards do the harmonic heavy lifting. I've said it before and I'll say it again - I hate (most) metal with keyboards. Big, church-y presets gum up the midrange here, and the guitar work is an afterthought, sounding like an electric shaver in the background.
But while this is far from my favorite music, I don't hate it. This is because the melodies are often weird, like if haunted house music were actually twisted. The same keyboard preset gets old after a while, but I could see myself putting this on if I wanted to hear something a little off. This is essentially a very unhappy synth pop album disguised as black metal. You can find it at Autopsy Kitchen.

Be wary of IKEA Metal Cataloge "there's that, then", again. I find this extremely bad and unworthy of mention, for one. You're not too hot about it, then why 'promote' it in place of so many other things that would be genuinely worthwhile?
Well, at first I had your reaction. I forced myself to listen to it a few times, and found some interesting things, though. The fact that it doesn't sound like everything else also helped.
