Best second wave Black Metal band

[Blind Guardian]

How could anyone vote for Satyricon or Marduk on this one? Ulver as well, the most overrated band on UM.

 

[WCannibal]

Ulver is great you faggot.
Anyways, I'm gonna have to go with Burzum here.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Immortal
old stuff and the new stuff. It's all awesome

 

[meaperson333]

Emperor.

 

[w0es]

I'm confused to chose which one? Immortal? Burzum? Mayhem?
Okay fuck you Varg, I'll choose Burzum.

 

[Mountains_of_Mars]

Burzum

 

[brooks55]

Immortal & Enslaved. Both bands entire discography are full of win. Honorable mention goes to Darkthrone. Darkthrone has 6 albums I am very fond of, but the rest of their stuff I can live without.

 

[Bitencourt29]

Darkthrone.

 

[wandering_taco]

Chose Emperor, but really it's kind of impossible to choose because each band different has like a different take on black metal even though they're all second wave. That's how I feel anyway.

 

[Balmung]

Hard to choose, if dissection counts as black metal than I went for it, although I don't consider it "pure" BM. Burzum, Darkthrone and Immortal are just as great.

Also, Nattens Madrigal is a fucking awesome BM album, and Bergtatt and Kveldssanger are good too, but pretty much the rest Ulver have done is pretty bad.

 

[Eligos]

I had to pick Ulver. Their sense of artistry is impeccable.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Deathcrush and Grand Declaration of War are just about the only second-wave albums I enjoy, so Mayhem.

I'd be surprised if anyone picked Marduk but what's wrong with Satyricon? They always seem to get the shaft in black metal.

 

[theoden236]

Immortal for their integrity, consistency, songwriting and attitude.

 

[Mayhem_MetalHead]

This is way too hard to decide. It's a tie for me between early Darkthrone, early Mayhem, and Immortal. Immortal being the most consistent of them all.

Burzum comes in a close second. While Varg wrote many of my favorite black metal songs ever, I don't like most of his pure syth stuff as much.

Then Emporer is third since I like symphonic aspects but not quite as much as i like just the pure black metal.

But seriously, i love them all.

funny thing is, NM is one of their weakest releases

 

[damnromulans]

emperor, ulver, burzum are my personal preferences

 

[SoundMaster]

Love Emperor, love Ihsahn's solo stuff, but goddamn, IX Equilibrium is a snooze-fest.

 

[Hubster]

Fuck what a tough one... Burzum, but in truth I think Burzum and Darkthone should tie.

Their three first are good, but in this company Satyricon can't compete for the number one spot.
