GORBALROG!! "Untergang" is really good, imo

 

[rakatak]

Ex Diabolis is a quite "industrial/melodic" kind of black metal with an evil female vocalist (hell yes!):

Here is a MP3:

Many of the bands listed kick ass. Notably Moonblood and Summoning (although they're Austrian).

 

[PaganThunder]

Moonblood
Nachtfalke (Side project of Occulta Mors from Moonblood, more in the vein of Pagan/Viking style metal)
Absurd
Luror (especially the split with Nachtfalke)
Wolfsmond (Side project of Absurd member)
Wolfswinter (especially Nordal)

I recommend those.

And if you feel like it, check out War 88

 

[Arkana777]

Secrets of the Moon
Katharsis

 

[TheLastWithPaganBlood]

Are absurd any good? I never heard them...

 

[Freanan]

What do you think about Bilskirnir?
Does anyone know them?

 

[Lazara]

Dark Fortress is one of my favourite German Black-Metal Bands .

Dark Fortress


"Stab Wounds" is the best album they ever recorded

 

[Lazara]

Abigor
Agathodaimon
Bergthron
Dies Ater
Dornenreich
Dunkelgrafen
Eisregen
Equilibrium
Falkenbach
Isegrim
Menhir
Nagelfar
Nargaroth
Nocte Obducta
Riger
Summoning

This is a list of all german/austrian black metal bands which came to my mind at the moment

Belphegor *hehe*

Are absurd any good? I never heard them...

I hope this is ment to be a joke, if so...

If not I need to tell you something about this "Band": Absurd was founded by a guy who later was well known for one thing: He killed a helpless boy who wanted to belong to the people of Absurd and that's the only reason why this name is familiar to a lot of people.

I once saw a homemade music-video of them, really crap!

Some really good german blackmetal Bands:

Negator
Helrunar

 

[Occam's Razor]

The murder aside, he's a key figure of NSBM...Vikernes anybody?

 

[MisanthropicHateSpirit]

I recommend my own band WRATH
http://www.myspace.com/possessedwrath

also check out:
Nyktalgia (Very much in the vein of Burzum)
Sterbend (new band from the members of Nyktalgia. Both bands play depressive blackmetal)
Negator (another good band)(http://www.negator666.de/)
Todtgelichter (http://www.myspace.com/todtgelichter)

 

[Jedaz]

Aaskereia! Nobody knows them?

 

[Bitter Dawn]

Absurd doesn't even have any of the original member's anymore, they should really change the band name.

Although Falkenbach was already mentioned, I'll attest that it's pretty good viking metal - especially for being a solo project/band.

Winterthrone is good, a simple sound from what I can recall.

 

[Manuel Neuer]

GERMAN BLACK METAL (only) from my collection:
ASKUROR - "Kirchenbrand" split with Vargshelske (also German black metal)
DARK FORTRESS - melodic/thrashy black metal
ABSURD - obviously
BETHELHEM - probably German Black Metal Gods! When I think of German Black metal I think of the innovative sound of Bethelhem! First 3 albums are masterpieces, later albums are masterpieces too but they tend to vary in style becoming more experimental.
DIEST ATER - Reign of Tempests (melodic atmospheric black metal, but very good)
Falkenbach - obvious
GRAVEN - old school raw black
VARGSANG - raw black, Graven sideproject
MORD - suicidal black metal
NARGAROTH - obvious - first albums - must have, later albums - gay emo shit
MOON BLOOD - obviously, but I am personally not a fan

If we are getting into Austrian territory so you might as well add:
THIRD MOON to the list - buzzing saw melodic black metal, I am most familiar with the first 3 albums

NON METAL GERMAN BANDS IN MY COLLECTION INCLUDE
QNTAL - German electro renaissance festival kind of music (NON BLACK METAL)
AGATHODAIMON - gothic symphonic metal (NOT BLACK METAL! this is like Vampire love type of shit)
CORVUS CORAX - hard to even describe. Traditional.
CARVED IN STONE - folk
KMFDM / EXCESSIVE FORCE - duh!
DAS ICH - industrial
RAMM...well you know
:WUMPSCUT: - industrial
Bach, Mozart, Beethoven et al - classical shit

GOOD BANDS TRYING TO PRETEND LIKE THEY ARE GERMAN but actually US:
* Wulfhere - good black metal
* Bellum - loud black metal
* Skorb - black metal, status uknown.
