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)
Hmm, I find their sound to be rather mediocre tbh. What do you guys think of "Vesper's Descent"?
They're the best band from Australia by far. Their guitarist is quite good and the vocals compliment the band very well. I prefer their full album to their new EP, though it's close.
@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
its plain garbage and if you still listen to it thats your fault lol "in its early form" that says so much. Means it was thrash with blackish vocals? who doesnt know this. move on

early form meaning when black metal was still relatively unknown.
you move on. oh and venom rules.
I'd say Emperor were more influential than Bathory even though Bathory influenced the original BM bands.
Anyways, if this was the case Deep Purple would keep coming up time and time again as "one of the best" since they were one of the most influential bands in the beginning on the whole of metal.

Deep Purple was one of if not the most influential band on the WHOLE of metal. It influenced some of the first waves of metal like Thrash (Notably was the major influence on Metallica).
Deep Purple was also a major influence on bands like Venom (Who along with Bathory were the pioneers of the to come Black Metal scene) and Hellhammer.
Without Deep Purple there might not be a Thrash, Black Metal, or Death Metal scene since they are the ORIGINAL influence on METAL (This encompasses all genres of metal).

Here, I'll break this down.

In other words, without Deep Purple to influence the beginning of Metal (That is Heavy Metal, Thrash, and Black Metal) those genres that popped up (The aforementioned) might not have come into existence (Or at least not for a great while) therefore those genres would not have had the bands to influence the later genres like Death Metal, Folk/Pagan, Melodic Death, Power, etc.
It's called branching. If you went back in time and killed Deep Purple and Black Sabbath and there was no more Ozzy or Ritchie Blackmoore how do you think the Metal scene would have evolved? Those two bands are the most influential bands in the history of METAL because they are the ORIGINAL bands.

Comprehend please ;/
so lets talk about jazz, blues, and rock and roll too! Wait what about tribal music or classical music, I guess we wouldn't have black metal with those!
Oh, and you're wrong
deep Purple + Judas Priest -> Iron Maiden + NWOHBM -> Thrash -> BM

no need to drag the beginning of sound into this.
lol you just dont get it everyone knows about bathory. Its not something that BM listener would listen to. As a history lesson, sure, i still have 2-3 albums. As something on a regular basis? Hed have to be retarded. Bathory relates to BM almost as much as Black Sabbath, it simply wasnt black. W/e you babble about respect, its a meaningless information. We all know the origins here, thanks for input

wat.
The first few albums sure you could definitely argue about them being simply origins and more influencial than good compared to some stuff now (I disagree, but w.e) but Blood Fire Death is still one of the best BM albums out there.

Anthems and Nightside were both very influential, dunno about the other two, but I enjoyed them still.

Black metal.
However they started incorporating symphonic arrangements into their music early on and later on industrial influences, which makes them not so "true" in some peoples eyes.
You mean they actually started to incorporate music into otherwise unintelligible mix of growling and ear-tearing noises?

thank you, someone who GETS it.
to clarify the 1st wave: bathory, venom, hellhammer, celtic frost. these are the bands that gave rise to other black metal bands (second wave and beyond). kind of like the building blocks of future black metal, helping them define the genre and how it is supposed to be.

bullshit argue all you want, it cant be one of the best black metal albums ever just because it wasnt black yet. Everyone knows it was prototype of black but thats it. First black metal band was Mayhem. Bathory experimented with a lot of shit and they eventually ended up doing something else. You can find many elements of black in their early releases( see you are wrong here as well, they remotely remind BM only in first 4 albums) like vocals and lyrics overall, somewhat different pace, but thats it. Dont try to make something look bigger then it was

fuck yeah, building blocks. None of it was black metal, it only supports my point. If something like venom/hellhammer belongs to the same wave that only proves that bathory was in the same category. Not black metal, but one of its originators.

Correct. Compare Emperor's Wrath of the Tyrant EP which is the quintiessential BM sound to anything Venom/Bathory/Celtic Frost/Hellhammer put out in the early 80s and later and you can tell the difference. Bathory also was more closely linked with the beginnings of Viking metal also.
Emperor - Ancient Queen
Compare to Venom Black Metal (Which is pretty much agreed the origin of the start of BM)
Honestly, if you call that BM, I scoff at you. They created the building blocks, but didn't actually play BM.
