Black Metal.

[KafkaX]

Name em.

 

[CiG]

Besides the obvious early bands right now I'm really worshipping Zemial and Nocternity.

 

[tagradh]

Aren't Nocternity one of the obvious?

I'd take Italy over Greece, though neither country is as good as Germany or France, or Norway or Sweden.

Are they? By obvious I meant Rotting Christ, Varathron, Necromantia etc.
I honestly don't listen to big enough clusters of Black Metal that I can pick a best country, Greek is as close as possible right now for me.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

There are only two contenders for best black metal country: Norway and France.

I enjoy him up to Rasluka Part I.

Some of his post-Herbstleyd records are good, but none are great.

An opinion I can both respect and agree with.

After Germany, absolutely. Nocte Obducta and Der Weg einer Freiheit bitches!

 

[Draehl]

There are only two contenders for best black metal country: Norway and France.

Overall? Yes. Lately I'd have to go with US and France, but I'm a atmoshipster.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Yeah overall. Poland, Germany, and USA round out the top 5.

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

I'd say actively Germany, not all time but they're up there. USA is a huge current contender as well. Iceland has a sick scene coming out. The more the merrier.

 

[tagradh]

hey guies the uk is gr8 too

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

They ok.

 

[Draehl]

Wodensthrone/Saor/Winterfylleth/Fen not a bad lot for sure.

 

[Draehl]

I'm both intrigued and annoyed at the same time.

 

[Krow]

Obsidian Gate rules as far as their type of bm goes. Man I've wanted The Nightspectral Voyage for years.

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

I'm both intrigued and annoyed at the same time.

Dude, why annoyed? That album rips! As does Colossal Christhunt, as lame as the album name is.

Yeah I like it more on the second listen. Certain parts struck me as a bit queer is all. It'll probly grow on me.

Bretwaldas.

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

I had no idea but there's a band called The Water Witch, and it's a project from a bunch of members of A Forest of Stars. It's like a more aggressive version of AFoS, and it's pretty awesome.



Edit: This shizzle is amazing. Just bought the album for like 13 bucks including shipping from their Bandcamp. Check it:

^ That was cool! I've recently picked up A Forest of Star's 2LP on vinyl. Haven't dived in, but after hearing that I might listen to it tonight.

There probably was some talk about Skagos' album Anarchic already, but I'm just coming on board and it's really incredible. Soldout on bandcamp, or else I would have bought it. Very Ulver and Agalloch-y.
