Would like some input on some good Black Metal...

Wow! you are right! they are the most creative black metal band ever!!................not really:Smug: but you go on and like them, its not my desicion
 
What defines Black Metal, really? I have heard a lot of people bash Dimmu to bits, calling them sellouts and saying that "Dimmu suxx0r musixxx cuz it has keyboard fux", but I have never heard an explanation of why! So tell me, why does everyone hate DB and COF so much?
 
Abyssos
Behemoth (old)
Capethian Forest
Cradle Of Filth ("Cruelty & The Beast" and "Midian" rules!)
Dark Funeral
Dissection
Dimmu Borgir
Eclipse
Emperor!!!
Gorgoroth
Illnath
Immortal
Lord Belial
Mactätus
Marduk
Mayhem
Misteltein
Mörk Gryning
Naglfar (Vittra rules!)
Old Man’s Child
Satyricon (Check out "Nemesis Divina"... A classic...The newer Satyricon are pretty boring, but still good)
Taake
Thyrane
Tidfall
Troll

- among others
 
What the fuck..
No one even mentioned Beherit yet. You must listen the the album Drawing Down The Moon...

Some other bands not mentioned..:
Funeris Nocturnum (some background keyboards here though, I recommend the first album "Pure Satanic Blasphemy")
Dawn (band I think you might like, quite similar to Dissection, try the album "Slaughtersun")
Maniac Butcher (everything I've heard by them is great, and without keyboards)
Absu (recommend the album "Tara")
Black Dawn
Isengard

I'm sure i forgot a lot of bands also...

Now there's no reason to be a smartass over the whole thing..and I never said they were the most creative and innovative black metal band..they aren't. However, they are talented. Let's discuss something I know you'll agree with me on...In Their Darkened Shrines..wails ass. :devil:
 
Burzum (First five releases)
For clarity, he is not referring to Daudi Baldrs, the fifth album, which is a Casio nightmare. Avoid it like the plague. The first two Burzum releases are Burzum and Aske, which are now sold as one.

I think it's the fact that they don't sound like Darkthrone. The only big differences I see in Stormblast and Enthrone Darkness Triumphant is
A. The songs don't sound like they were recorded on a 4-track.
B. All of the lyrics aren't in Norwegian.

As for Cradle of Filth, people claim they're sell-outs because the music sucks now, and for the most part it does. Even if they made another album as good as Vempire, people would still say they suck.. simply because they're on a big label.

God damn, I wish my band could sell 100 albums and sound like the album was recorded in a cave somewhere. I'd be true as FUCK, then!

You're a fucking idiot if you claim that.
The only differences between you and me is that my opinions aren't completely worthless,
 
Thanks for the input guys. Whole lotta bands to look at. I decided I'm gonna start with Bathory and Immortal. I picked up Blizzard Beasts this weekend, and although it is a departure from what I usually listen to, I am enjoying it. A few more listens and I'll see what I really thnk.

Again, thanks!
