Excellent.

Why?  Provide potential listeners a little more than one word so they have a better idea of why they should bother with this album.

I know you're young, but...you keep asking about classics or borderline classics.  Obviously you are hearing of them somewhere if it isn't here (otherwise I assume you wouldn't be asking again), and have the good sense to understand them for what they are.

I suggest you have a bit of fun and go listen to the damned things.  It is far more interesting to discover and familiarize yourself with them thusly than to get some "official" pre-cooked opinion from this board beforehand.

Seconded... most of these that you're asking about are bread and butter stuff that I lived and loved when first getting into Death Metal.

The artwork is excellent. The sound is excellent.

How is Nocturnal March by Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult?

I own it but, quite frankly, never have the slightest interest in listening to it.  They are yet another example of a band that seems to have all the right pieces in all the right places, they even seem to have a genuine love of the genre, but have missed the point by getting too caught up in the trappings of black metal.  Therefore, a band that can easily be ignored.

From what I've heard, this is a hybrid of crust punk with some speed metal stylings, and a bit of black metal. Sort of like Iskra from Canada. What I did hear was very forceful and hard-hitting, but I'm unsure of the longevity of their material.

I'd like to address this band again. I recently acquired two of their albums, "Sekt" and "In Extremis". Both have seen heavy rotation in my listening habits, the first being much more black metal influenced, and the second being more battering. I would gladly recommend this band to anyone with an interest in Doom (UK), current Extreme Noise Terror, or perhaps second tier Swedeath from the early 1990s. Very solid material on both albums, one of the few punk associated bands I've heard which consistently develops an atmosphere. Definitely A class material, when it comes to modern punk bands.

Is Peste Noire worth listening to? People have recommended them to me a couple of times but Ive never gone through with listening to them.

[Cargést]

Worth listening to, certainly.  A healthy dose of French insanity.

Yup. Don't bother with the newest album, its unmitigated garbage. The debut is the album I've found most worthwhile.

Is Dawns Slaughtersun worth hearing?

Is Dawns Slaughtersun worth hearing?

I still listen to it for nostalgic reasons, but it is not in any way something that one needs to hear.  It is essentially Gothenburg death metal stripped of any spirit, leaving only the empty and generic shell.
