German Black Metal?

[Freanan]

Hi, i am looking for some black(also pagan or viking) metal from my home country.
I only know the following bands:
Endstille (know one song, is not exactly my thing, but is good)
Suidakra (cool pagan metal)
I heard only good things about a Band called Bergthron, but never tried them out.

Please recommend me some stuff! I like (non german bands - just to show what style i like):
Immortal, Borknagar, old Ulver, old Behemoth, Shroud of Despondency, Taake, Satyricon

 

[Life Sucks]

Nagaroth. Although they have more of a primitive, raw black metal sound in the vein of Darkthrone and Burzum.

 

[opacity]

Nocte Obducta
perhaps also Agathodaimon and Cryptic Carnage








but i can tell you some good Austrian bands though

 

[opacity]

ah i almost forgot Ninnghizhidda - they ARE very very good (although german )

Dude, I haven't heard much black metal from Germany but Austrian black metal is the bomb.

 

[Eternal Throne]

Moonblood, they are raw, primitive BM, yet very atmospheric and highly revered. Also Lux Occulta. Metu, I agree. Austrian BM is indeed greatness.

 

[opacity]

dude, Lux Occulta are from POLAND.......
or do you mean L.U.X. Occulta (who are indeed german)

cool, let's start a thread about AUSTRIAN blackmetal then

 

[Eternal Throne]

Yes I meant L.U.X. I forgot the damn dots in between the letters. Abigor are my favorite Austrian BM band.

Summoning!!!

Nagelfar - very good and complex german blackmetal, although I bet you already know about this band (if not: get the album "Hünengrab im Herbst").

Wolfsthron - Maybe this could be described as a mixture between old Ulver (->Bergtatt) and Empyrium. Blackmetal with many clean vocals, acoustic guitars, keyboards and a folkish feel.
They only released one album which has been distributed by themselves, so it´s a bit hard to get your hands on it. That´s kinda shame, because the album is pretty good (although it´s not as complex as Bergtatt).


Menhir - Pagan Metal (a bit similar to Suidakra, I think)

Dweorgesblod - another band in the vein of Suidakra and Menhir

Definately check out Moonblood. The masters of true German Black Metal ...Blut und Kreig!

 

[Freanan]

I tried Nargaroth's Herbstleyd and it is really great.
It was a long time ago, when i was impressed by an album that much!

I am thinking about tyring out Nagelfar, Moonblood and Wolfsthron too, sounds really interresting.
-And i will buy the upcoming new Nargaroth-album!!!

In the cd of the magazine 'Ablaze' i also found two interresting bands:
Minas Morgul, a slightly Guardian-esque pagan/black metal band
Vargsang, some raw black metal with really good atmosphere

 

[Fleischwolf]

mourning end, riger, adorned brood, bergthton!

 

[NFU]

i must agree on austrian BM being great. Abigor & Summoning destroy all.

as for german black metal...there isnt many bands at all that i have found to be all that great.
