cold albums

Even if Mercyful Fate started black metal I don't see it musically. Maybe a simple foundation image wise,lyrically.

Immortal is gay.

Mercyful Fate is like a more evil sounding Judas Priest.

I agree, add old Iron Maiden in there also. MF is very classic rock/70's influenced.

Wha? Both Darkthrone and Blut Aus Nord are amazing.

Well, you're not a dumbass because you obviously see the brilliance in Graveland, but B.A.N? Why man, why? They blow ass.

Might as well spell "overrated" as B-L-U-T A-U-S N-O-R-D
 
:lol:

It never fails to amuse me when someone starts a topic vaguely asking for black metal bands, cos it gives people a chance to spew unecessarily long and obscure lists of band names to cement their trooness. I just find it rather funny.

Anyway, a 'cold' album I love which is also really epic is Enslaved's "FROST". But it's not really a hateful sound to me, it's just a harsh, glorious piece of music.
 
Yeah, since you don't know the bands listed, that obviously means they are extremely obscure.

And I find it rather funny that you automatically assume they name those bands to seem "troo" (in your elementary vocabulary). Here's a thought: maybe that individual actually enjoys those bands!

Yet, I'm going to assume you, in reality, pretend to be an Iron Maiden when in fact you adore hardcore and slam dancing. See, sounds pretty stupid huh? Dumbass.

they didn't always blow ass, the old stuff (before they decided to be OH SO AVANT GARDE) seems pretty ok (though that, also, is overrated)

Now correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you used to really like TWWTG? Like, a year+ ago, though I could be mistaking you for someone else.

Either way, their early stuff is a right winner.

you dislike TWWTG for shallow reasons fuck off
