Enslaved
Enthroned
Ulver
Gorgoroth
Immortal
Marduk
Mayhem
Mercyful Fate
Satyricon
(Semargl)
Venom
Watain
Windir
1349

Alatyr
Dark Tribe
Deathspell Omega
Gris
Kataxu
Keep Of Kalessin
Nachtmystium

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Darkestrah are from Kyrgyzstan, not Germany

 

[rms]

i heard they moved to germany though

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Oh yeah.

 

[Zephyrus]

More convenient for their lead guitarist, Anti.

 

[Onder]

Anti from Anti?

EDIT: It's ok I looked it up. I didn't know he played in Darkestrah.

 

[Mort Divine]

so, like, not like TWWTG at all then

'ultima thulee' is pretty much the best french bm album, totally brilliant

Le Dernier Pardon imo

 

[~Neurotica]

Keep of Kalessin is not really the best rec for a person who wants to get into black metal, tbh.

 

[divine_torture]

Of Mayhem's "Live in Liepzig" and "In Mysteriis", which is better? I only have Grand Conjuration, and I'm not fond, but I keep hearing to get anything before that.

 

[Omni]

De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas is the one you want.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

DMDS is awesome.

 

[Belligerent]

Keep of Kalessin is not really the best rec for a person who wants to get into black metal, tbh.

I don't see why not. Armada and Kolossus are easily accessible.

 

[Mort Divine]

and yet Kolossus isn't black metal and Armada is absolute shite

 

[Belligerent]

It's not even worth arguing with your stupid ass.

 

[Mort Divine]

FUCK I GOT OUTBID ON THE SACRAMENTUM EP WITH LESS THAN 5 SECONDS LEFT

 

[Hubster]

and yet Kolossus isn't black metal and Armada is absolute shite

Theyre a good band, but Alina is right.

 

[Belligerent]

I'd rather recommend KoK for starters instead of Burzum or Darkthrone for example. Some of KoK's songs are fast but catchy at times.

 

[Mort Divine]

they're a horrid band but I guess they're not BAD for starters, so long as you ditch them along the way

 

[Belligerent]

So what is so "horrid" about them? They're songs are epic as hell and Cernunnus is a phenomenal guitarist. Great musicianship all around tb quite fucking h.

 

[Mort Divine]

they rely on relatively shallow catchy hook based music that just doesn't fly so much in black metal
