Black Metal.

Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
Filosofem
Fallen
Det Som Engang Var
Burzum/Aske
Daudi Baldrs
Belus
Hlidskjalf
The Ways of Yore
Umskiptar

Umskiptar is at least better than Yore...

 

[EspaDa]

Umskiptar is at least more varied than The Ways of Yore.

 

[tagradh]

I'd be happy with just HLTO, Filosofem and a compilation of the cool tracks from Belus and Fallen.

Darkthrone is better than Burzum. But that's just me.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

Darkthrone is better than Burzum. But that's just me.

PREACH.

^ It's a great ranking but Det Som Engang Var should swap places with Burzum/Aske. The rest is right.

I was actually debating switching Burzum/Aske and Daudi Baldrs tbh, if anything. They're about equal imo.

Darkthrone is better than Burzum. But that's just me.

I totally, unequivocally, %1,000,000 disagree. Darkthrone may be another favorite band for me, and have one of the most consistent discographies in all of metal, but they still have never released anything as otherworldly and monumental as even the worst of the first four Burzum albums (the self-titled).

 

[Talos of Atmora]

I've listened to Hvis, Filosofem and Fallen so far and I still like Darkthrone better. Under the Funeral Moon and Transilvanian Hunger really contest even Burzum's best work for me. I still liked Hvis and Filosofem but I don't think they quite beat out Darkthrone's best.

 

[Vilden]

Obv Darkthrone is better than Burzum. Burzum just ripped off Strid.

 

[EspaDa]

Darkthrone may be a better band overall, but Burzum's Det som en gang var song is one of the most monumental tracks in metal.

 

[ProphetofHatred]

Darkthrone is better than Burzum. But that's just me.

Burzum is the most overrated band ever.

 

[The Butt]

Burzum is the most overrated band ever.

Maybe if you're a pleb.

 

[ProphetofHatred]

Maybe if you're a pleb.

The amount of "metal chicks" who glorify Buruzm 24/7 on my facebook feed is disturbing at this point. I don't understand the obsession with the band.

 

[Internally Deformed]

Women like Burzum?

 

[The Butt]

The amount of "metal chicks" who glorify Buruzm 24/7 on my facebook feed is disturbing at this point. I don't understand the obsession with the band.

Because "metal chicks" posting about Burzum on Facebook, definitely lessens the artist's artistic legitimacy and historical impact. There's no way that could be dumb reasoning. Lmao.

 

[ProphetofHatred]

I'm not arguing that Burzum sucks because retarded women on social media glorify them, I just don't understand the obsession with the band. The biggest impact Burzum seems to have to me is creating annoying kids obsessed with being "kvlt"

 

[Internally Deformed]

There's probably no more often copied band in BM than Burzum. Pretty much every ambient/atmospheric BM act is Burzum worship (which is even more impressive considering ambient and atmospheric BM includes many of the most interesting products of the genre).

 

[The Butt]

Burzum invented ambient black metal, which spawned thousands of clone bands, literally singlehandedly. And also created two of the highest quality, most artistically realized metal albums of all time (HLTO and Filosofem).

It's okay to not like Burzum (we can't all be winners); but to not respect his artistic or historical significance in metal canon is basically admitting "I don't understand black metal".

Also, what Internally Deformed said.

 

[ProphetofHatred]

Burzum sucks, Burzum copy bands suck. Are we done here?

 

[The Butt]

So you have a fundamental misunderstanding of black metal. Got it.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

Burzum sucks, Burzum copy bands suck. Are we done here?

Just reading through the discussion, I think that maybe the conversation will end when you decide to stop trying to start arguments about music that you claim to have no interest in.

Think about it.
