I Serve Only Sargeras.
Anyone got recommendations of albums that sound like Unlock the Shrine from The Ruins of Beverast? Been trying to look for similar stuff the past few days but with little luck.
The only band that sounds like The Ruins of Beverast is The Ruins of Beverast. I take it you are requesting bands with a heavy "germanic/US atmospheric black metal" sound? I scrambled some stuff sounding like that, you may know some of them if you follow von Meilenwald's work. I post some youtube links but it is necessary to listen to whole albums instead of some songs.
Nagelfar
Verdunkeln
Lunar Aurora
Darkspace
Urfaust
Paysage d'Hiver
Lurker of Chalice
Kermania
Xasthur
Leviathan
Weakling
Can go on but I'm afraid I'll deviate by much from what you want. Those I posted are some of the biggest players in atmospheric bm, which is the main genre of Unlock the Shrine.
edit: Holy shit, new Paysage d'Hiver is out:

From what I've gathered I think you're right with them having an unique style. That goes to their newer albums as well.
What I'm looking for more specifically is the claustrophobic, schizophrenic even, feeling that Unlock the Shrine captures really well. Black metal in particular is a genre in which I'm nowadays finding it neccessary to listen to full albums instead of just songs.
Thanks for the recs, atleast Verdunkeln, Kermania and Weakling are artists I haven't looked into yet.
Edit: here's something for people that like Mgla:
and Ygg, very much recommended:

Oh yeah, forgot to add this, pretty sure it wasn't posted last year. Blackened death metal from Canada:

Can we limit the embedded videos to 1-3 per post? Not anything too big, but with a slow internet connection or crappy computer the page hangs for quite a while until everything's loaded when there's too many videos.
Although they've changed quite a lot since Count Your Blessings, I'm really, really enjoying Bring Me The Horizon's new album, Sempiternal.

Yep, 11 hours. Available in 6.66 GB USB format by Earache. "Hey Tommy what are you doing this weekend?" "Oh I donno, probably gonna listen to some drone".
What an absurdly solid album that is.
Listening to a lot of Bandcamp these days:
Delirium's Order
Atropos Project
Botanist
Sauroctonos
Posting Das Tor again, but really this is easily the greatest black metal album I've heard in years.
I know there's some Intronaut fans here, so I'm posting something from their new album which by the way is great! Progressive/sludge metal at its finest.
Dem drums...
The album cover/general artwork is also insanely good.

So I picked up Soilwork's The Living Infinite double album over the weekend.
I can definately recommend it, real awesome melodeath.
I must say I enjoyed a little revisiting of the genre, since In Flames and indeed Soilwork themselves went on a little more alternative route in their last few albums.
Great stuff, go get it.
Not me.
And only reason I'd consider listening to Soilwork would be Dirk's drumwork. He's rapidly turning into one of my favourite drummers.
