"Transylvanian" black metal

[Krow]

Instead of poorly attempting to explain that, I think I should just post a couple examples.

Darkthrone's first 3 black metal albums
Graveland
Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas
(maybe even Horna, not sure about this one yet though)
Mutiilation

I know the black metal fans here know what I'm talking about but cant put it into words... the kinda riffing that sounds like it's straight out of a vampire movie.

I love this style of black metal. Production isnt really a problem either.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

I know what you mean but I'd hardly consider Graveland or even Mayhem to fall under that category.

 

[Krow]

Well maybe it's just the last graveland album I listened to? (Carpathian Wolves)

And as far as mayhem goes, Funeral Fog and Freezing Moon are the only tracks that really have that feel.

 

[Alteredmindeath]

castlevania black metal ftw.

Arkona

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Come to think of it, none of those bands sound alike.

I'd recommend Dracula(Rom). They are blackened death for the most part though.

 

[Krow]

Come to think of it, none of those bands sound alike.

They really dont need to. It's just the aesthetic of forsaken cathedrals and vampirism (and lycanthropy) by the full moon I'm looking for.

 

[TartanLlama]

Try Rheinkaos

 

[Hail The Wizard!]

Try out Taake.

I'm not 100% what exactly you're looking for, but I think you want something with that horror movie type atmosphere. If so, check out Night Conquers Day and Tearstained.

 

[Xorv]

Check out Vlad Tepes for more French Black metal similar to Mutiilation, and maybe the Les Legions Noire, I think thats how you spell it.

I think old school Infernum or Behemoth would work.
