Black Metal.

Which Bathory album would you guys recommend that I start with as an introduction to their music? One of my favorite used record stores just got a fuckton of Bathory CDs and they're all like $5 so I think I'll pick one up.

Depends on what style you want? Viking Metal or Black Metal? IMO Hammerheart is the best but Blood Fire Death is probably the most accessable if you are looking for more black/thrash oriented stuff. All albums are great tho (except for maybe Octagon and Destroyer of Worlds) so Just pick one at random.

Blood Fire Death is so fucking great. It makes me wet.

[EmbraceTheDeath]

Odens Ride over Nordland/A Fine Day to Die is so amazingly epic.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Under the Sign of the Black Mark.

This.

 

[Lord Kur]

"Blood on Ice" is really good, too.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

It doesn't compare to the first five albums, though. I second (or third?) the Under the Sign of the Black recommendation since it's black metal perfection imo.

You would probably like Nemesis Divina which is pretty much the last good Satyricon album.

Now, Diabolical is fucking fantastic you worthless faggots. I hate all the ND bashing on here

Nemesis Divina and Now, Diabolical are both great albums IMO, just different stuff.

ND happens too be one of my favourite albums released in 2006.

I didn't like it much at first, but its concise hateful energy is unrivaled in modern metal.

 

[~Derek~]

Now, Diabolical is very good, can't wait for the new Satyricon. The Pentagram Burns was probably my first somewhat black metal song. So it means a lot to me.

 

[Belligerent]

Derek do you really have any hope for the new Satyricon?

I didn't bash anything. Also, I'm not a faggot.

Indeed, it is great! I think it is funny when people bash Manowar as a worthless band and then listen to this. Blood on Ice is pretty much a homage to Manowar ffs.

 

[Hatebreeder]

I think two albums is enough for their current sound. They need to expand or something on the next one, or they risk becoming stale. *gasp*

 

[MasterOLightning]

Risk becoming stale?

 

[Hatebreeder]

Risk becoming stale?

[Zephyrus]

I'm expecting Satyricon to take the next step with their new sound, and I'm looking forward to the new album, actually. Regardless of how it stands by Black Metal standards, this band is exploring new territory. I'll be disappointed if they either fail to progress or even retrogress to appeal to older fans.

Gorgoroth's True Norwegian Black Metal live release is to stop being distributed thanks to court order.

 

[ivry91]

^^Fuck that.....

 

[Zephyrus]

I got a promo for it. It's a good listen.
