Black Metal!

[Xorv]

I'm really getting into this genre, and can't help myself. In a few months the number of black metal bands on my playlist will probably outnumber the number of power metal bands I listen to! And power metal is the genre that brought me into the metal scene!

Anyways, my favorite bands are..... Catamenia , Ulver, Beherit (raw), Mayhem, Borknagar, Naglfar, and Bathory (black not viking)

What are yours?

 

[Cythraul]

My top ones would be...

Burzum
Darkthrone
Emperor
Ulver
Sacramentum
Blut Aus Nord
Taake
Immortal (DFM and PH only)
and...maybe Averse Sefira

 

[Life Sucks]

Moonblood
Mjolnir
Graveland
Burzum
Grand Belial's Key
Inchiuvatu
Mortuary Drape
Deathspell Omega
Haemoth
Necromantia

and many more

[Erik]

Bathory - Hammerheart

So yeah, I know your definition of BM is pretty shit, but THIS?!!!!?!

 

[kmik]

black metal is defined by its Romantic spirit to the ancient Indo-European values and the neoclassical tendencies, thus juxtaposing the true essence of the Aryan spirit and rejection of Judeo-Christian absolutist moralism in an epic work of art. It has nothing to do with the music!@

 

[Majesty]

The only shit I like that can be described as Black Metal are:
Burzum,my favorites are Aske and Hvis lyset tar oss.
Thor´s Hammer,May the hammer smash the cross is great
Thunderbolt,Beyond Christianity
Anaal Nathrakh,Codex Necro

 

[genocide roach]

So yeah, I know your definition of BM is pretty shit, but THIS?!!!!?!

what?! bathory are one of the founders of black metal. and that album, in specific, started the viking trend. what an important album

truly epic

may the flame war start
~gR~

 

[Crimson Velvet]

Sure, it's an important album, and great, but it's not black metal by ANY sense of the word.

 

[no country for old wainds]

So yeah, I know your definition of BM is pretty shit, but THIS?!!!!?!

BIKING METLA IS NOT A FUCK ING GRENRE

Edit: Weren't you arguing in the hub that all black metal has to be Satanic and that bands like Graveland are therefore not black metal? Or was Rob twisting it/being trolled?

 

[Erik]

Yes? Graveland is NSBM though which is different from regular BM. Anyhoo, calling "Hammerheart" black metal is pushing it

 

[S8n]

Black Witchery
Medieval Demon
Conqueror
Immortal
Mayhem
Gorgoroth
Abigor
Immolation
Emperor

 

[genocide roach]

one could argue (and im sure someone has) that the pagan references inherent with the viking style are speaking out against christianity, therefor being anti christian and fitting the BM motif just fine. with that said, hammerheart would be THE album for that kind of a statement
