In my opinion theese are four unbeatable masterpieces of norwegian black metal. Theese records represents the golden years at best and which one is your favourite?
Well, he just chose 4 of his favourites. That doesn't mean the abovementioned albums are the best. If you're going to make a larger poll sometime, Ravnanger, then you should add Darkthrone's "Under A Funeral Moon" and "Transilvanian Hunger", Arcturus's "Aspera Hiems Symfonia".. And of course Ulver's "Bergtatt".
geez, every1 loves Emperor...theyre good but i dont see why every1 freaks out over them. i went with Immortal-Pure Holocaust since they are fucking crazy
Take your time with Emperor, man - it's worth it. All their albums (except "Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk", which I loved instantly) had to grow on me before I really could appreciate the magic.
I voted Darkthrone. I must admit that I don't own Pure Holocaust, as the only Immortal CDs I have are Sons Of Northern Darkness and Battles In The North.
i really would like to know why Emperor is hailed as the greatest black metal band...is it the fact that the backround synth makes them more accessable or something? id still choose Pure Holocaust over In The Nightside Ecplise..but thats just me
