Also, thanks to OP for linking Ragnarok, I haven't actually heard them until now. HATE gorgoroth though, but i'm an elitist little shit so whatever. Also also, make blog posts about Structuralist philosophy instead of metal for more cool points (sorry if your name has no relation to Michel) haha, Endstille aren't NSBM, it's a common misconception. They don't support racism or anything like that, but they do like creating songs about WW2. ;p | ||

Nothing, because Opeth is fucking trash. | ||

Gonna have to look some of this up, haven't bought or dl'ed any new BM since maybe '05 lol. bathory is barely black metal in its early form, really nothing attractive about them besides the fact that they are considered to be "the originators" you would be the first person to name bathory in his top 3 BM list( it doesnt even make sense honestly) burzum was the essence of black to me, much more then mayhem | ||

I truly enjoy those bands, and the only one I could even CONSIDER being "rare" is Elysian Blaze, because I just never see anyone listening ot them. | ||

I wouldn't say that about people who have favorite bands that aren't known at all or very little. For example, some of my favorite Melodic Death Bands aren't that well known. Noumena Omnium Gatherum Mark:Black Skyfire Callenish Circle Raintime Sure, I could say Kalmah, Insomnium, Dark Tranquillity, Early In Flames, Darkest Hour, etc. but then I would be lying to myself. I hope someone will sign Mark:Black ASAP, they fucking kick ass. Listen to their 3 songs they put up (Their album is complete just need to find a label) http://www.myspace.com/markblackmetalband | ||

The fact that all bands in the genre put so much effort in their looks really break it up for me. I can't stand the whole evil clown look most black metal bands have, and the fact that sometimes it seems good music are not a black metal band's main priority, but looking and sounding "evil". All this animal killing, blood and other crap are just something to make up for shitty music. You don't see a real band like Opeth having to do any of that to be worshiped. That been said I'll check some of these bands out - I'm pretty sure there can be some hidden jewels in the genre I'm yet to find out. Why would you compare Opeth and black metal? They haven't ever released anything remotely black metal...maaaayybee their first two albums take influence a bit, but nowadays? They're nothing close. Opeth is a great band, and they're my favorite next to Dream Theater, but bringing them into a black metal discussion is fucking stupid. | ||

Yes, but I wouldn't be true to myself, as I'm just not that into Ulver/Taake/Wyrd. I mean, I love Gorgoroth, Mayhem, Darkthrone, Burzum etc, the originators, but I like the bands I've posted quite a lot more. | ||

gorgoroth is just the most overrated ever. and gaahl is just trying to hard to be "scary." ( anyone seen his interview on the movie "metal a headbanger's journey"/) all he does is pretends to be scary and throughout the interview he goes ........*sips wine*.........."satan" i'm surprising no one has mentioned bathory like after 2 pages. Quorthon was one of the most respectable figures in black metal. wasn't a sell out like shagrath. @food, bathory is EVERYTHING that defines black metal in its early form. The albums from the self titled "bathory" to "blood fire death" pretty much helped the black metal scene evolve. the raspy vocals, rawness of the drums and the riffs | ||
