Agreed. imo metalcore should be accepted back into the fold and Burzum et al redefined as simply black, or black with metal influences.

Well considering Burzum was at the forefront of Norwegian black metal I think it qualifies as "old school". Besides, it was made in 1993, even if it didn't come out until 1996.
Old school is a relative term, not absolute. A thrash album from 1993 wouldn't be old school, but a black metal album would just because the genre was newer. Sorta like how a punk rock album from 1984 wouldn't be old school, but a thrash metal album would.

Yeah I agree with Zach. Burzum is part of the second wave(?) of black metal bands, and are one of the first of the kind (and Vargs style and interests were old school) so I would say its old school second wave black metal.
Bathory would be old school first wave black metal.

Early Burzum is certainly old school. Filosofem specifically was the start of a lot of modern trends, whether it's awesome itself or not.

These guys are underrated. Another great album. I have seen them live a couple of times and they put on a killer show.

I wouldn't call them "underrated" they are a solid death metal band but aren't really THAT good.

Everyone said that album sucked ^^^
Lets see if their opinion is different because YOU posted it.

A lot of people here have god awful taste in music so I'm not surprised. Also, no one likes me so I'm certain my posting will not sway anyone.

I dunno. It's weird, the guitar tone is awesome, the production is pretty solid, but there's something about it that just never gripped me. Admittedly I'm not a HUGE swe-death fan, but still.

Considering Entombed isn't that great, I can't imagine what I've heard is Entombed worship being worthwhile. However, I haven't personally listened to it, so I can't comment.

What, I'd rather listen to Entombed than Entombed worship, I'd rather listen to Nihilist than Entombed, I'd rather listen to the other top tier swedeath bands than Nihilist, and I'm probably just gonna rock out to Onward To Golgotha in the end, so....what's the point in Entrails again?
