[Lord Kur]

Oh yes!!! Opera IX!! I can't belive I forgot to mention them. Tha Black Opera (2000) is such an atmospheric BM album. Cadaveria is my type of woman!!

i guess they aren't around anymore but i can say for sure that the singer ruined the whole band.

 

[ramses]

Yeah, but despite that, The Black Opera is a great album.

 

[Killbot]

Woah, what the hell is going on here, a two page Italian metal thread and not a single Septycal Gorge mention?!

I don't know this band.

Do you know that Cadaveria at present has a her own band called as her?

Good Italian brutal death bands:

Septycal Gorge
Putridity
Hour of Penance
Blasphemer
Clitoridus Invaginatus
Vomit the Soul
Vulvectomy

 

[Great_Cold_Death]

My favorite italian band is Void of Silence (too bad that they disbanded) ! Also, Consummatum Est is a great funeral doom band from Italy.

 

[Tonka Time]

only one ive heard is Aborym and they are one of my favorites.

 

[Onder]

You all kind of forgot Calvary. But otherwise there's about NOTHING in Italy that I like.

 

[Zephyrus]

Malfeitor

 

[Life Sucks]

Inchiuvatu, and related bands (3, Astimi, Lamentu, etc.). All their lyrics are in Sicilian.

 

[Beard_of_Odin]

Italy has tons of great bands. How about:

Funeral Oration (symphonic black metal)
Legion of Darkness (black metal)
Zora (brutal death)
Schizo (thrash)
Arcana Coelestia (doomish black metal)
Cadaver Mutilator (death metal)
Waffen SS (NSBM)
Mephisto (very old school sounding bm)
Coram Lethe (tech death)
Mater Tenebra (black metal)
Necrotorture (brutal/slam death)

I'm not too familiar with Italian bands, but I am really pleased that you put Zora on this list. Everyone should try to procure a copy of UVA. One of the best death metal albums I heard a few years back. Very innovative.

 

[Life Sucks]

Zora rule. I wouldn't say they are very innovative, though. They just play very catchy, good brutal death.

 

[Personified Hatred]

@Life Sucks: you probably will be surprised, but I know no one of the bands you mentioned (except Coram Lethe).

 

[KMADD]

Aborym's Fire Walk With Us is one of my favorite black metal cds of all times. Highly original as well as Kali-Yuga Bizarre.

Really? wow

A few years ago there was a Folk Black Metal band from Genoa which had lyrics in Genoese. They were called "Giastemma" (Genoese for "curse").

 

[Life Sucks]

That's pretty cool. I didn't know the Genoa region had it's own language/dialect.
