Your favorite Norwegian black metal band

[Slynt]

Polls continue to rule, this time in the name of northern darkness.

 

[MindMorgue]

It can only be the mighty EMPEROR.

MindMorgue.

Satyricon get my vote. Along with Thorns (who I don't think I saw in the poll) they damn near created the sound that people call Black Metal today!

 

[yourdeadgroom]

Damn, a really hard choice, Mayhem or Emperor.... I went Mayhem, I'm more into them at the moment, though that is likely to change with the new Emperor CD on the way.
Mayhem have cooler names, too.
NECROBUTCHER!!!!!!!!!!
HELLHAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MANIAC!!!!!!!!!!!!
BLASPHEMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just slightly more interesting that "Trym"......

Along with Thorns (who I don't think I saw in the poll) they damn near created the sound that people call Black Metal today!

I think Quorthon from Bathory may have something to say about that

 

[dill_the_devil]

Point taken... although it's usually Thorns I hear cited as the pioneers of the black metal sound. Sorry Mr. Bathory person!

 

[gorgrael]

I didnt see darkthrone on the list, what the fuck is with that?
A norwegian black metal poll without darkthrone?

well Burzum gets my vote, darkthrone would too but....

 

[Gdc]

My vote goes to Darkthrone and on second place Emperor and Enslaved.

 

[Slynt]

Actually I know Thorns, so it felt weird to include him hihi. He makes cool music, yeah, and he's one hell of an inspirator so perhaps I should have included him.

There are other bands who should have been here too, but the polls are (thankfully) limited to 20 options.

 

[Rodrigo]

That was the hardest fucking poll ever!!

I chose Emperor but Mayhem, Immortal, Burzum, Satyricon, Darkthrone all deserve votes.

All those bands rule!!!

 

[yourdeadgroom]

How do Mayhem only have one vote still (which was mine)??!!!? Did their last album annoy everyone too much?

Anyway, I just got US Legions, I'm off to listen to Chainsaw Gutsfuck (coolest song title ever??).

 

[supseudonymous]

EPIC BUMP

yourdeadgroom - You're never going to believe what's going to happen in four days.

 

[Crimson Velvet]

voted immortal.

 

[Zephyrus]

Tough decision between Limbonic Art and Borknagar. I chose Borknagar because they were my first Black Metal band, and Quintessence is still my favorite album of all time.

 

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

FUCKING HOLY SHIT OLD THREAD.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Shit this is ridiculously old... Why the hell is Darkthrone not an option?

 

[MasterOLightning]

Yeah, how is Darkthrone not an option?

 

[Zephyrus]

Is there anyone from '01 who still posts here besides Deron?

 

[supseudonymous]

^ It looks like a lot of the original posters in this thread are still active in various band forums. Metalmaster posted on the 19th over in Opeth.
