Top 10 Black Metal Bands

[skeptik]

I think Belketre is really overrated, but then again I haven't listened to any of them in years since I gave up the whole mp3-warrior bullshit.

 

[Koude Haat]

Mp3 warrior?

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

 

[Slayed Necros]

I like the "big four" LLN bands, but I'll agree that they're all really fucking overrated.

Early Mutiilation is the best.

 

[skeptik]

I don't believe I made that term up, but if I did, even better tbh.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Early Mutiilation is the best.

Damn fuckin' straight. Awesome stuff.

 

[Vilden]

Yeah early Mütiilation is definitly the best, but Vlad Tepes is up there too.

[Personified Hatred]

This is my list of the top 10 greatest black metal bands, post yours too!

1. Mayhem
2. Venom
3. Bathory
4. Celtic Frost
5. Emperor
6. Darkthrone
7. Burzum
8. Dark Tranquility
9. Dimmu Borgir
10. Borknagar

Dark Tranquillity isn't Black Metal, and Borgknagar isn't either.

Anyway, without any order:

Mayhem
Taake
Burzum
Marduk
Immortal
Judas Iscariot
Limbonic Art
Tsjuder
Bathory
Satyricon

Borknagar is black metal, what are you smoking?

 

[Personified Hatred]

Borknagar is black metal, what are you smoking?

It isn't exactly Black Metal, IMO. It has some BM influences but it's more Folk than Black Metal.

 

[Zephyrus]

It's black metal at its core, with folk, viking and progressive elements laid over it. This has been the case for its entire history.

 

[skeptik]

I only consider the first album Black Metal. The rest stray too far to merit the term.

 

[HaggardBastard]

I think Drudkh needs some more love. I don't see many around here mention 'em. Granted, I don't post here much, and I haven't read everyone's lists, so maybe I'm wrong?

 

[HaggardBastard]

I just looked at the rest of the lists in this thread and I'll just go 'head and eat that last post.

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

Dark Fortress must be one ov them.

 

[Matt]

Holy shit a bunch of posts were deleted

 

[skeptik]

 

[Lord Kur]

hah, they were kinda bashing you because you listed a bunch of non black metal bands so nec dissected every choice you made and poo-pooed them.
