"Coldest" Black Metal Band?

[Ursus]

Depends for me.

I tend to listen Emperor's Anthems... on sunny autumnal afternoons, as for Nightside... I mostly listened to it in the night time.

Also, albums like Filosofem (Burzum), Bergtatt (Ulver) or Nemesis Divina (Satyricon) suit me more in daylight.

Can't listen to Darkthrone on a sunny summer Sunday though.

 

[The Bringer]

I think some of these guys are just rating them by album names.

I think some of these guys are just rating them by album names.

Well, I think black metal albums are entitled based on the atmosphere of the music and lyrics.

 

[The Bringer]

Well the album name should be in sync with everything else. (Cover and lyrics)

It can't be called Blizzard Beasts and have a cover of a furnace and lyrics about the Amazon.

 

[Ursus]

Yes, but mostly BM "artists" tend to create a certain atmosphere with sound, production, use of instruments, vocals and effects, right?

 

[The Bringer]

Most I believe

 

[Fredy_Brown]

This is what is BM suppouse to be
Black metal is an essence of dead nature.

 

[skeptik]

No it's not.

 

[Nag]

Then what is it? [playing devils advocate]

 

[skeptik]

"an essence of dead nature?"

Go read a Black Metal FAQ.

 

[Nag]

Well why don't you enlighten us?

 

[skeptik]

Because I don't feel like it.

 

[seigman]

I would say that the Madrigal of the Night by Ulver is pretty cold.

 

[Vinnolation]

Burzum

[Lord Divine]

Nordafrost. The name basically says it all.

 

[Mythos Inibri]

Darkthrone for me...

 

[skeptik]

Yeah we've never heard of Burzum.

 

[Personified Hatred]

I think the coldest BM band is Darkthrone...

 

[Ceremony]

Impaled Northern Moonforest. Just looking at the album cover will give you hypothermia.

They're tr00 kvlt 2tm!

 

[SupersonicRobotic]

Epheles, for some reason sounds really cold to me. Their weird ambient intros create like this sound you would not find really out of place in an ice cavern, had someone made an literal audio track of one anyways.
