I think we can all agree that this would rock. We'd play some kind of progressive fusion jazz metal with influences from both 60s British guitar pop and classical music.

KICKASS. I can't believe no one's mentioned Hoglan or Jaco. But dude, you'd let Nödveidt play guitar and not sing? In a BLACK METAL band?

Dude, I like Jon's screams. But hey, those guys are soooo much better (I think). Nevertheless, Jon was a fucking god(satan?)like songwriter!

Forged in blood by tragedy... Dark were the THORNS OF CRIMSON DEATH!

So, this thread's been around for a little more than a day. I wonder how long it'll be before I come back and don't keep saying "holy shit" out loud at these names.

Hellhammer was in at least 10 other bands

 

[Wander]

But Arcturus was the best.

Their whole discography is yummy. And both of the vocalists are great. I just prefer Garm.
