pretty ace top 5

 

[The Ozzman]

If anything, this gave me a pretty good starting point to expand my black metal knowledge. Thanks, GMD!

Highest volume of posts by far given you all are black metal nuts it seems.

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

I am a black metal nut indeed, yet I still only sort-of like Burzum. Whatever.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i think under a funeral moon is better than just about everything on that list, ditto thousand swords. really happy to see sacramentum make the top 5 though. i remember a time when blut und krieg would've got in there on this board haha, i miss those days.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

A little disapointing to see Sacramentum in the top 5. It's a good album, but not on the level of the others on this list. I'm also slightly surprised to see TH beat out HLTO, though both records are phenomenal, so that's not a complaint.

 

[Slayed Necros]

I was sure Hvis would come out on top. Pleased it didn't. Glad Bathory made the top 3 and Sacramentum top 5. The latter definitely deserves the recognition.

 

[The Butt]

Swap TH and HLTO and it's golden. Still a decent top 5 though.
