Black Metal.

[entanglement]

Ya demtoo.

 

[Mort Divine]

I entered with ...and Oceans. Weird starting point but actually a very good starting point.

 

[I-Oblivion-I]

I first got introduced with 1349's hellfire, mainly because I really enjoyed death metal and the blast beats were a big welcome for me, it still is one of my favourite black metal albums.

 

[Zephyrus]

I entered through The Kovenant --> Arcturus --> Borknagar.

 

[Astrum]

I took the standard entry route. Dimmu Borgir. :Smug:

 

[skeptik]

Nobody enters through the right doors anymore...Venom, Mercyful Fate, Bathory, Sodom, Sarcofago, Bulldozer, Tormentor, Mayhem, Burzum, Master's Hammer, Root.

Forest Poetry was too raw for me, and I happen to actually enjoy raw black metal. are Ildjarn's other albums as raw as that? or are they better produced?

After Dimmu and some of the other popular bands, I did begin listening to Bathory, Mercyful Fate, Burzum, and Sodom. These are the bands that truly got me.

 

[ohiogrinder]

I got into it via the most unlikely band: Revenge

I must say it was The Kovenant that was the most unlikely route. I just happened to see their caricature on rocktoons.com a few years ago.

 

[cookiecutter]

Naglfar is a good way to get into black metal. Catchy and not too abrasive.

Your door =/= right door.

 

[skeptik]

My door is always the right door because I'm always right.

And for somebody that bursts a vein every time someone mentions "it's just your opinion," you sure note that something is an opinion pretty quickly. You also state your opinions really annoyingly.

 

[Mort Divine]

Only with you though

[black blood]

My first was Dark Medieval Times.

Try Sort Vokter, it sounds like a well produced Ildjarn album.

 

[Life Sucks]

My introduction to bm was Darkthrone - A Blaze in the Northern Sky. I bought the CD without ever having heard it (or any black metal, for that matter) before. At first I didn't like it, since the production and guitar playing style was so different from the death metal that I was listening to. But I soon began to like the CD for what it was, and bought albums by Mayhem, Emperor, Immortal, etc. This was some 13/14 years ago.

 

[unknown]

my first uh "extreme" metal band was Opeth, and I think from there I got into Emperor because a guy I knew at school was a big Emperor fan.

 

[Slayed Necros]

My first was the much praised Far Away From the Sun by Sacramentum (back when they weren't worshipped by most ). After that: A Blaze In The Northern Sky, Hvis Lyset Tar Oss, Pure Holocaust and De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas.
