Not their EP. Their recent release is. It's not bad, but there are much better symp BM bands.

My favourite Black Metal bands, in no order, are:
Deathspell Omega

Krohm
Nachtmystium
Elysian Blaze (Funeral Doom/Black Metal)
Mayhem
Endstille


Cool list, although aren't Endstille NSBM? It maybe they just use that marduk style imagery, I dunno. Give SVEST a go if you havent already.

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

i love black metal, but bands like gorgoroth are incredibly overrated imo.

i've been into Ashdautas lately - the vocals are insane but the actual musicianship of the band is meh. i've also been listening to Zuriaake a lot lately as well - really good atmospheric bm from china.

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.

what makes slowpeth more of a REAL band than agalloch, or mayhem?


Nothing, because Opeth is fucking trash.

Nobody mentioned Bathory yet?

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

ive noticed you are fairly knowledgeable in this area, my reply here was a first impression
im still positive you went on a stretch to post these bands that have 2-3 releases total
ive never heard of half of them, i had to look them up and what do you know, seems unknown to me
id be surprised if some of them had 500 listeners total
so even though i somewhat changed my opinion about you i still think it wouldnt hurt including something like Ulver, Taake or Wyrd just to seem realistic..

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)

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.

Perhaps...but, of all the people I've run into that listened to metal hardly any have heard of them. I could have even gotten more obscure, but feh.....I suppose one can't hurt. <3 these guys:

cradle of filth is not black metal ffs.

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
