Black Metal.

^ Sound reasoning. Transilvanian Hunger was one of my first BM albums and I think that set me up in a good way to further appreciate the genre.

Transilvanian Hunger is my first Darkthrone CD, very good btw.
I need to get Blaze in The Northern Sky though, The Pagan Winter and Where Cold Winds Blew are great songs.

burzum 'hvis lyset tar oss' and darkthrone 'transilvanian hunger' are always the two i'd recommend to newcomers. i don't believe in going halfway 'cause it never worked that way for me, just throw 'em in at the otherworldly genre-defining deep end, and whilst they're unlikely to get it immediately they'll at least be *fascinated*, and that will eventually spark into something more given time.

I love it

I've never really listened to any black metal before, what are good bands to start with? I'm very into death and thrash but haven't got round to exploring this genre before.

Mysticum - In the Streams of Inferno

Thanks for the recommendations guys I'll try and check those out soon. Am listening to immortal's new album now, I'm liking it a lot.

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

I'd recommend Darkthrone's "Panzerfaust" for a n00b, but that's just me.

Any thoughts on Ossein?

Was introduced to them not too long ago, but since I was I've been pretty into them.

Listen to The Rode to Awe.

Listening to Code two albums. Man, they a re great. So emotive and so impressing.

 

[unknown]

yeah. Their new album, though, is just miles ahead of their previous album. Resplendent Grotesque will definitely make my top 10 of the year; it's a great and enjoyable record. It also clearly shows that Kvohst and Vicotnik make quite the vocal duo. really good stuff

I didn't hear the new album yet, but their first album was really awesome.

 

[Eligos]

I'll have to check that band out soon.

 

[unknown]

they should be right up your alley

 

[Eligos]

Well, judging by the three foot erection I got from your descriptions of them, I'd think so.

Digging it so far. Especially the awesome bass lines no one else pays attention to.

 

[unknown]

those would be courtesy of Vicotnik whom I regard to be one of the best and most innovative bassists in metal

 

[Eligos]

His lines are bonechillingly reminiscent of Skold.

 

[Omni]

Are there any albums that I need to know about? I haven't been paying attention.

 

[Eligos]

I forgot what you like. But definitely the new Beherit.
