Black Metal.

[Mort Divine]

I haven't been that big on black, not because I don't like it, but because I never took the time to get into it. So what bands would you reccomend, i'm talking MEGA-OMEGA black metal bands

Oh by the way, I hear good things about 1349, so I'm giving them a go now, still some reccomendations would be great.

Bathory, Burzum, Emperor, Belenos, Mystic Forest, Primordial

Avoid 1349, they're boring and really shitty.

I liked IX Equillibrium, but hated Prometheus.

I've heard just a couple songs off IX Equilibrium and thought they were good. I like Prometheus but not as much as what I've heard.

 

[Alteredmindeath]

Equilibrium stands strong as one of the greatest Emperor releases.

 

[DarkBliss]

IX Equilibrium is solid and technically impressive. It's hollow and generic when compared to their classic output, but from a purely musical standpoint it's not bad.

 

[Hell Mike]

What was a very good point? Wires & Waves hasn't made a single half-good point the entire time he/she has been ranting.

This:

american

nihilist

underground

society

(note the underlined part)
in response to this:

ANUS has never identified itself as Nihilist, you fool

(again, take extra note of the underlined text)
was the amusing part

I actually agree with this. That said, I hate the album.

And that was a semantic, useless, and meaningless point.

 

[cookiecutter]

Aww, how cute. I bet you're the cuddly type.


(joking)

STFU

As for the copycat thing: I don't mind too much if a band copies a band I like. Although I am fairly new to Black Metal, I am a veteran of another genre full of copycats in Brutal Death. In Brutal Death there are many bands who sound exactly like Suffocation or Devourment, but I still like them because I like Suffocation and Devourment. Same thing goes for Black Metal.

 

[Perpetual Catatonia]

Emperor is great, even when they progressed they still ere good.

That seems logical.

 

[skeptik]

it turns out this is not an anus thread

 

[Killbot]

Could have fooled me.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Equilibrium stands strong as one of the greatest Emperor releases.

The Source Of Icon E is such a good fucking song! Those clean vocals own me!

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Apparently, so does Jesus.

 

[Reaping Clarity]

I don't know why you'd say that, I listened to about 6 of their songs and they're fucking crazy, I love it !

 

[Hubster]

IXE is a great album! I don't know why people complain about it (although I can understand people complaining about Prometheus).

"An Elegy Of Icaros" is fucking brilliant.

"An Elegy Of Icaros" is fucking brilliant.

I like "Curse Ye All Men" better.

 

[Hubster]

I love that song too

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

I like "Curse Ye All Men" better.

fuck! I love the clean screams. starting a song/album like that is fucking badass!

listening to it now!

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Enslaved - Vikingligr Veldi is really essential BM. Surprised of no mention of it in here yet. It was made around the same time period of Emperor's first release (a classic I might add). And seems to be severly and unjustly overlooked. It's hypnotic, dark, and epic; eveything that suites my liking for Black Metal.
