GMD Votes: Top 10 Black Metal Albums

[HamburgerBoy]

Can't ignore mods.

Speaking from experience I'm sure.

People that use the ignore function to block people/opinions they don't like are pathetic human beings.

 

[no country for old wainds]

1 sacramentum - sun
2 burzum - hvis
3 master's hammer - ritual
4 immortal - pure
5 darkthrone - trans
6 bathory - sign
7 burzum - filosofem
8 darkthrone - blaze
9 dissection - storm
10 enslaved - veldi

[The Butt]

Thank god. Your terrible opinion isn't worth a vote in the first place.

Good thing I don't care if some nobody on the internet erroneously thinks my opinions are shitty. B^)

Except the poll voted on by users of this forum says this is simply not correct.

What can I say? I expected better from you all. B^)

I think the only person I have on ignore is that one power metal faggot white guy from the Philippines or wherever. Forgot his name.

 

[The Ozzman]

I agree. DsO is bad.

I agree. DsO is bad.

What kind of black metal do you like again? Your tastes must be much different from mine. Love Deathspell Omega.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Deathspell Omega is arguably the best black metal band ever. They've been on a non-stop tear since Miko joined the band.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

:Spin:

 

[The Butt]

Deathspell Omega rules. SMRC, Paracletus and Kenose are modern-day classics.

 

[J.]

Ive heard smrc and kenose. Didnt do shit for me. Neither did BAN. Perhaps that pseudo intellectual experimental stuff just aint for me.

Now the pre dso band Hirilorn...that album is fantastic. They shouldve kept going with that band.

I love everything DsO has done, but this opinion is wrong. Manifestations material is the best they've ever done.

 

[tagradh]

The fuck is 'pseudo intellectual' about Blut Aus Nord?

The fuck is even experimental about half of it? Or early DsO for that matter?


Fucking nothing. Stop talking shit.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

"...this opinion is wrong."? Give me a break. The vision and scope of Fas and Paracletus is far greater to their earlier works. Perhaps that vision doesn't appeal to you, but that doesn't change that they manifested a very ambitious concept with a level of cohesion that is hard to find in metal or (non-classical) music in general. I mean, the number of metal albums that are that fluid conceptually, musically and aesthetically can probably be counted on one hand.

Burzum
Darkthrone
Satyricon
Immortal
Sargeist
Drudkh
Arckanum
Enslaved

I don't have much black metal in my collection but I listened to Kenose and SMRC and didn't like either

 

[no country for old wainds]

i maintain that SMRC is often really intense passionate evocative music, but needed like 20 minutes chopping off to warrant classic status.

 

[Zephyrus]

Agreed. SMRC is far too long.

Later DsO does appeal to me a lot, but I find more passion and energy in the Manifestations material than in Fas or Paracletus.

It was in jest to call any opinion wrong, but in this argument I am appealing to my own personal aesthetic preferences and can see crystally clear why the progressive elements of their later work can be more appealing than their earlier stuff.

 

[whiskey funeral]

I'm not trying to be difficult here but what happened to the votes in the other thread? Do they not count now?
