Cheers

I always dismissed black metal for some reason, i always just assumed it was full of rapid fire blasting and shreaking, but im finding myself getting into it and obviosly realising how stupid my assumptions were.

Ruun is absolutely just blowing me away. (although not BM as such)

It feels good to be discovering something that im pretty sure im going to really enjoy once i find the right material.

Kosovich loves it but I think he is into alot of average stuff. Im sure we can find some more quality stuff

[Braighs]

Ulver - Bergtatt
Primordial - Storm Before Calm

I'll add more to my collection eventually. BM is not high priority.

 

[hibernal_dream]

Burzum - Det Som Engang Var (Just a classic and timeless release, everything is where it should be and remains exciting and out there even to this day)
Borknagar - The Archaic Course (Great songwriting and execution, the vocals improve on Garm's work making this better than Olden Domain)
Summoning - Stronghold (Dreamy and very memorable metal, I find all their albums good)
Immortal - Pure Holocaust (Good songwriting minus the repetition of their later albums)
Dissection - The Somberlain (Great songs and atmosphere)
Nokturnal Mortum - Weltanschauung (Very emotive music distinguishes it from the rest of the "Grim" blackmetal scene)

 

[Effigen]

Darkthrone - ravishing grimness

Emperor- IX Equalibrium

 

[MasterOLightning]

People on this forum really do not like black metal for some reason. Their loss, I guess.

no, its people on this forum really dont know any black metal. just like about everything else that they need to be spoon fed 12 years after the fact or find it on a mikael playlist before theyll bother with it.

but most black metal is pretty terrible, so can you fault them entirely? i say not.

 

[Scourge of Malice]

Ulver - bergtatt
immortal - at the heart of winter
emperor - into the nightside eclipse
wolves in the throne room - diadem of 12 stars (got hooked on this one pretty quickly )
windir - 1184

 

[Towedwart]

ohmahgoshes lyk ne ting by like cradle of flth and dimmu borgir.


Old Man's Child - In Defense of Existance

 

[Scourge of Malice]

Are you really making fun of cof and dimmu and then listing old man's child as your favorite black metal album?

I make paradoxes for a living.
