Tormentor - Anno Domini

 

[Life Sucks]

their latest album isn't bad.. it's rather enjoyable, but i prefer Ashes of Purification.

I agree. Though Of Entropy and Life Denial is great. I listen to OEaLD more than AoP, because I have the original, wheras I only have AoP on dled CDR.

For some reason, I didn't think that you would be into Graveland.

Drudkh - Blood In Our Wells

Drudkh - Blood In Our Wells

haha this isnt 'essential' at all

 

[J.]

agreed. drudkh isnt close to being essential. nor deathsmell omega.

try emperor, immortal, graveland, and enslaved. burzum a bit less so.

 

[Wires & Waves]

darkthone nigga

 

[entanglement]

darkthrone is the most essential if one is seeking to explore black metal in its most definitive form.

 

[Alter]

The latest Merrimack struck me as trite and worthless. Ashes of Purification is quite good, however.

What? There new one is great. One of the better French Black Metal bands that dont get hype.

 

[Skepticism]

Maybe not of the essential popular (within the metal scene) black metal bands. But Drudkh are better than Immortal, Satyricon, Emperor, and a whole lot of other 'essential' black metal bands.

fuck off you trendster faggot

p.s. nobody worth a shit considers satyricon essential either

 

[~Derek~]

^I heard a Drudkh song and wasnt amazed by it, maybe I should check out more of their songs.

 

[~Derek~]

Satyricon, not essential? Theyre one of the best of the 2nd wave and really underrated and overlooked.

Essential black metal albums. Go!

I can't believe you can't find that by googling or looking at "my fav bm bands" kinda of kiddy topics, it's flooding most metal messageboards I go.

Anyway what I was enjoying 10 years ago when I was teen, mostly cliché stuff, it was...

-Emperor - Anthems and ITNE.
-Enslaved - Frost and Eld.
-Limbonic Art - Moon and Abhorence.
-Immortal - Diabolical and Pure Holocaust.
-Darkthrone - UAFM and A Blaze.
-Marduk - Opus Nocturne and Those of the Unlight.
-Mayhem - Dmds and Deathcrush.
-Graveland - In the Glare and Thousand Swords.
-Burzum - Det Som and Hvis.
-Dark Funeral - The Secrets and Diabolis.
-Satyricon - Shadowthrone and Nemesis Divina.
-Tartaros - Psychotic Castle and Red Jewel.
-Bathory - Blood Fire Death, Under the Sign, Hammerheart.
-Covenant - In Times Before the Light.
-Keep of Kalessin - Through Times of War.
-Gehenna - First Spell and Second Spell.
-Nokturnal Mortum - Goat Horns and Lunar Poetry.
-Summoning - Minas Morgul and Dol Guldur.
-Abigor - Nachthymnen and Opus 4.
-Bal Sagoth - Starfire and Battle Magic.
-Carpathian Forest - Black Shining and Caves and Titan Woods.
-Crimson Moon - To Embrace the Vampyric Blood.

...mostly norway and not all essential but I discovered black metal with those, they probably don't have the same impact these days but stills remains classic in my heart.

 

[Skepticism]

Now that I think of, Drudkh's early albums are probobly more essential than Blood In Our Wells.

 

[J.]

Yeah, that was you who posted that list. You're the trendiest bitch on here, so stfu.

The sarcasm passed you right by, didn't it?

And Satyricon is about as essential as Drudkh, which is not at all.

 

[Skepticism]

I guess the sarcasm did pass me by, but you never know the shit coming out of his mouth.
