When it comes to black metal, I really have a tough time sitting through the "true" BM stuff. I really only enjoy symphonic, progressive, and avant-garde sounding black metal. Only a few of the classic old school black metal albums are something I enjoy.

Thank you :) As for the difference of our opinions on Primordial... I'm not a huge fan of black metal so I suggested something from, what I call, accessible black metal. This band used to be quite "true", you know ;)

 I guess diplomacy isn�t your strong side . Just kiddin� of course, you have every right to think Primordial is a terrible act just as Bartosso has the right to think they are great.
^^And good New Year to you too.

Primordial is a quite good band, especially their newest album "To the Nameless Dead" is worthy of attention.
Happy new year by the way  |

Folk and Progressive Black Metal isn't as good as the raw bm. Bands like Azhubham Haani, Bilirubin, Ildjarn, Goatmoon, Ives, Vlad Tepes, Karmic Void, Ash Borer, Fell Voices, Roman Cross, Iskra, and Beherit are so much better then Vintersorg, Drudkh, and Negura Bunget. |

Hate to be this guy..but I personally make a distinction.
Black Metal, to me, is a fairly narrow genre of music. Basically it is the "pure" stuff. While the progressive/folky black metal I label as, well progressive or folk metal. I really don't like true black metal at all...in fact there are only 2 albums I actually like. De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas by Mayhem, and Hvis Lyset Tar Oss by Burzum. The latter being my favorite. That's pretty much it. In terms of "other" black metal I love Bergtatt, Vintersorg's early stuff (and latest), Drudkh and OM by Negura Bunget which is a brilliant album! That's the folky stuff! As for the more progressive BM there's always Enslaved (later of course) and Deathspell Omega. Edited by The Angry Scotsman - 12 Dec 2010 at 3:57am |

Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer and Testament. The real Big Four of thrash metal!
Listen to doom metal, worship Satan |

Immortal is either worshipped or hated like crazy but they arent as bad or as great as some people say. The lastest album was alright though. Been loving really raw black metal latley and the punkish black metal. Theres quite a bit of nsbm bands ive been into a lot latley but that can really just be mixed in with the raw black metal.

I'm not a big black metal fan, but i enjoy it at times.
Some of my favorites are Immortal's At The Heart of Winter, I, Ansur's Warring Factions and the latter Enslaved phase. Immortal's latest isn't half bad also. |

Both "In the Nightside Eclipse" and "Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk" have lots of nostalgic value for me. I haven't been spinning them actively for a long time but they are certainly masterpieces, imo.

Check out Emperor's In the Nightside Eclipse - it's essential to the understanding of symphonic black metal.

All great bands that you have mentioned. 'Vordr - I' is such an amazing album even though all 3 of thier full lengths are amazing but first album beats all.

Ash Pool = Prurient = Roman Cross = Devil's Dung = Vegas Martyrs = Cold Cave = whatnot... = Dominick Fernow. Prurient and Roman Cross being my personal favourites from his projects.
Big Branikald, as well as Forest, lover here. The first 7 or so releases (including demos) are top notch at least. Not so familiar with the later releases. �delegger is pure Ildjarn worship but I really like it, I recently got hold of "The End of Tides" and been enjoying it. Prevalent Resistance has possibly my favourite "musician" (also known from Circle of Ouroborus, Rahu, Vordr, Verivala, Key, Karmic Void etc. = all brilliant!) in it, so that already tells that I revere Prevalent Resistance too.

God, someone remind me never to make lists, I always cringe looking back on them.
7997 you've made me dig up Goatmoon's Death before dishonour. Is this a good thing? Yes. Some brazen shit right here. Is Ash Pool the guy from Prurient? Cannot remember his name. Been meaning to check out Branikald for a while now, loved Forest's first album. cheers |

Of their classic stuff I've only heard Deathcrush and De Mysteriis, and then Ordo Ad Chaos, but somehow nothing of it has ever really impressed me. Pretty much same thing for e.g. Immortal, though I do like one of their albums, but I mostly grew up on Burzum, Darkthrone and Emperor when it comes to these influential 90s bands.
I still haven't given my list of top albums to this topic because it's a pretty hard question. No idea where I would start, except mentioning the obvious ones ("Filosofem", "Transilvanian Hunger", "Hvis Lyset Tar Oss"...) |
