what Mayhem should I get???

[Alter]

There is no 'big 4.' It would have to be 5 to include Emperor. They were just as big, if not bigger than Immortal, especially considering Samoth actually played a role in church arsons, Faust killed a guy, etc. They were definitely more connected. Satyricon came later though, along with Ulver, Gorgoroth, Hades, Helheim, etc.

.

Though I did think Ulver was in the beginning.

 

[Mort Divine]

And I'd get the albums without Attila on it.

Everyone should listen to at least DMDS for historical perspective. It's weaker than most of the albums by the major bands at the time, but still moderately good. If it came out today no one would care about it, though.

If I heard 'Buried By Time And Dust' I would. ;<

That song kicks ass.

1349's cover is better though (yes controversial metal opinion)

I think Freezing Moon and Funeral Fog are bad ass songs, I just like them a hell of a lot better with Maniac or Dead singing them rather than Attila because I'm thinking to myself "I'm not into these vocals but this music's bad ass".

Yeah, you either need to add Emperor, or take out Immortal. I think taking out Immortal would make more sense, since Darkthrone, Burzum, Mayhem were indeed by far the three biggest. I guess I wasn't thinking when I typed that.

That's also my favorite song on the CD, followed by Freezing Moon.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Yeah, same. I especially like Attila's vocal performance on this song. So fucking sinister!

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

well this Ordo Ad Chao isnt all that great.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

No it isn't. Which is why I recommended De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas. The only essential full length Mayhem album.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

bah!

 

[Thoth-Amon]

bah!

Trust Thoth-Amon.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Crom!

 

[Thoth-Amon]

Crom!

SET!!!

OaC is pretty great as far as I'm concerned

FFFUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNERRREEELLLLL FOG!

So it that really Varg you hear playing bass on DMDMS? Supposedly, they told the label that they took out Varg and had Hellhammer play the basslines (at the request of Euronymous' family), but then openly admitted to lying, and leaving Varg's basslines in.

It's Varg.

Live in Leipzig, DMDS and Deathcrush are my favorites. I am also a huge fan of Dawn of the black hearts, though that is a bootleg.
