Angkor Vat was a San Francisco Black Metal band who later changed their name to Lascowiec. This demo, A Pulse Beyond Nothing, is a massive hypno-swirl of esoteric black bliss.
Totally unrelated to this I picked up the 2006 demo 'Triumph Through Spears of Sacrilege' by Lebanese black metal band Damaar today and it is so good I felt compelled to mention it here.
Damaar kills it they're like a great combo of Revenge, Blasphemy and early Archgoat. Even crazier was how hard it was for these guys to get their music out. The post offices kept getting blown up that's why this album was only available at first as mp3s. Support these guys and Nuclear War Now they worked hard to put this album together.
NWN is one of my favorite labels. Absolute care and attention to packaging. Sometimes the music itself is less than essential but who can resist gatefolds, 180 gram vinyl, posters, and satanic black death?
very repetitive and entrancing, i like it a lot

Yes, Damaar is pretty vicious stuff.
