Good black metal productions ?

[MEGA DAVE]

That was pretty legit. Why are they associated with the core scene? uke:

well their older material was total core-esque material, breakdowns, whiny clean vocal parts, on their newest releases they've gone completely black metal... guess they were trying to pull the jfac thing, 'lets got all the core kids to love us and get us huge then make the music we really wanna make'

Sons of Northern Darkness is pretty good, as is Lord Belial's Seal of Belial (?). Abigail Williams and Dimmu (if they count as bm) are also legendary.

Rotting Christ- Theogonia

If thats considered black metal. Its is to me =D

I love that album. Every single song there is amazing

 

[Nuno Filipe]

FLY THROUGHOUT THE SKY
SET FIRE TO THE LAND
FLY THROUGHOUT THE SKY
SONS OF NORTHERN DARKNESS

By speaking in Immortal the track At The Heart Of Winter got a great black metal atmosphere. But the production is raw.

 

[TheDriller]

Glorior Belli - "Manifesting The Raging Beast" is also pretty awesome.

 

[AntonioPetrole]

I love that album. Every single song there is amazing

agreeeeeeed, the only song i like more thats not off Theogonia is Lex Taliones off of genesis. That song is perfect in every aspect

Production on De myteriis dom Sathanas is great, and yeah the bass guitar sounds awesome.

Also Grand Declaration of War, I think the production is totally crystal clear and still has that black metal guitar tone

@ Seizure: You'd be getting soooo much shit from pseudo gatekeepers of trveness for mentioning Endstille as an example for "real" black metal haha.

Hahaha Yeah i know!

I still think its more down to the band then the producer/engineer/mixer to get that BM sound..

For melodic black check:
Catamenia - Location: Cold [avoid the new album, it is a piece of shit)

Production on De myteriis dom Sathanas is great, and yeah the bass guitar sounds awesome.

Indeed, don't you just love songs like "Life Eternal" with those great, distinct basslines?

I listened to Ordo Ad Chao and felt it was nothing compared to Chimera, and it sounded like shit :/. I haven't given a proper listen to Grand Declaration Of War

It's not technical in the essence of Chimera where there's a lot going on at once, but more-so technical in the "hey lets play some dissonant riffs for the fuck of it, then start droning, then more dissonance." It's hard to explain but I felt like Ordo Ad Chao was their version of a Blut Aus Nord/Deathspell Omega-influenced record.

The production was intentionally shitty. I think they said they wanted it to be more "raw", I felt like it fit it perfectly for that murky atmosphere (but any other album it wouldn't have worked.)

GDoW has great production, on-par with Chimera really. I love that album but many people don't as it was a gigantic departure for them.
