Your Melodic BM recommendations

[Unfaithfully Metalhead]

Just wanted to ask for your suggestions for BM bands/albums that are more melodic then others... today I got Satyricon's Volcano album and Mayhem's Chimera album.. not very impressed with them but the more i listen to them the more they are growing on me.. i guess ij ust need to give them a few more listens..

Graveland- Thousand Swords

Borknagar - Empiricism
Dissilusion - Back to Times of Splendor

 

[Nico]

Oh yeah.


Astriaal - Renascent Misanthropy

 

[Nuclear Vampire]

Anything by Borknagar, especially Empiricism and The Archaic Course.


Oh, and old Satyricon rules.

 

[MotherNorth]

...And Oceans - The Dynamic Gallery Of Thoughts
Dimmu Borgir - Enthone Darkness Triumphant
Old Man's Child - Revelation 666

 

[Intoxicator]

Dissection - Storm of the Light's Bane

.

 

[Donnie Darko]

Older Satyricon
Immortal
Borknagar
Dimmu Borgir

 

[Episteme]

Nokturnal Mortum's Lunar Poetry is pretty melodic. Some other bands for you to check out:
Windir - Arntor
Enslaved - Eld
Drudkh - Forgotten Legends
Melechesh - Sphynx(not entirely black metal but a great semi melodic album nonetheless)

Also, agreed with most recommendations with Dissection, Sacramentum and Nachtfalke. Great bands, all of them.

I was thinking about Immortal (which ones?).. Dimmu i already have.. and I'll have to listen to Older Satyricon before i buy it this time around.. i bought this one blindly... Old Man's child i was thinking of as well but couldnt find it at the store yesterday.. the other band's mentioned i havent really heard of but will write it down and see if i can find some of them... any more?

 

[GONETribalchemy]

I'd say Thy Serpent (Fin), Infernum (Pol), old Darzamat (Pol) & Arkona (Pol) & Thyrane (Fin), Nefandus (Swe), Hermh (Pol), & old Satyricon of course.

 

[Dev]

Mephistopheles - Songs Of The Desolate Ones

 

[Edgecrusher]

Can we please stop referring to black metal as "bm"?
