really? oh man I love Greek black metal. Varathron, Necromantia, Nocternity, Veil, Zemial, Rotting Christ...some really good shit comes from there
All fantastic bands. Zemial is friggin' fantastic. Go Greece.

Havent heard Varathron so I couldnt make a good statement about which is better. I will check if they have any songs on youtube so I can at least hear what they are like.
edit- I have to say Varathron is sounding pretty awesome, I am really liking the song Unholy Funeral. And I can see a lot of the similarity between them and Rotting Christ. This song kinda reminds me of old Amorphis too, like Karelian Isthumus era.
I never really got into Greek BM. I am generally pretty ambivalent to most of the stuff from there.
so I'm listening to Damnation's 'Destructo Evangelia", and on the third track around the 3 minute mark, there's a line where I swear it sounds like the singer is saying, "The pancakes are open!" I guess he's saying "black gates", but it was still pretty funny
on a side note, I've seen/heard a bunch of people label Damnation as the next Bathory, which I think is a pretty presumptuous claim to make
While I agree that Hellenic BM is totally awsome it hardly touches the norwegian, french and polish scenes from the 90s.Hellenic black metal is pretty much the best shit ever.

For french, the LLN scene alone > all greek bm (and pretty much all other bm too, except for the norwegian scene but I'm in very minority on this board with this opinion. :>). For polish bm se MPs post above.norsecore faggot. jk
but um.. what early french scene are you talking about because most of it does not come close to touching hellenic bm.. also polish lol?

So, what's the general consensus on Altar of Plagues' debut full-length? I've seen it mentioned in different places, but I figured I'd ask in the black metal thread.

And as far as the most overrated and ridiculous conspiracy ever seen in black metal, look no further than Velvet Cacoon.
Haha, as I said I'm pretty alone in that opinion. But seriously do you really think the Vlad Tepes/Belketre split is ridiculous bullshit? (it is top 5 bm albums ever btw). And if you should go by most people opinion LLN is more underrated than overrated nowdays imo.I take back anything good I've said about you. Aside from Mutiilation, the entire LLN bullshit is the most overrated and ridiculous conspiracy black metal has ever seen. Outside of Nargaroth, of course.
White Tomb is great but I feel it drags in places.
