im sorry but i find mayhem to be one of the worst black metal bands and the most overrated black metal band. they are just famous for all those killings and church burnings.

No, actually Don!
The atmosphere conjured up by Mayhem is nearly unparalleled. yeah, Emperor are amazing, and they're probably the best, but the really cool, old stuff like Mayhema and Burzum seems to have the true essence of black metal.
Check out Dead's performance in 'Live in Leipzig'. It's nothing short of monumental.
Satyricon are great too. Can you believe this- my copy of 'The Shadowthrone' is missing. I have the case but I can't find the actual disk. I think I might have put it in with another c.d when I was really drunk one night, but now I can't find it. And it's one of the all time great bm albums!! aaaaaarrrrrrggggggghhh!
