10 Most Evil Bands of All Time 

My wife was giving birth and all of a sudden she starts screaming. I'm like hold that note honey we got an album Thanks everyone for the likes.

When people ask what kind of music I’m into and I say metal I feel like this is what goes through their minds

I love how nothing is explained and these bands are just evil because they’re playing metal

Mayhem was probably the only one that was truly evil, after the lead singer commit suicide one of the band members took pictures and used them as an album cover, and also made necklaces with his skull fragments. The dude was genuinely insane, and constantly threatened the other band members, until one of the band members was just so disgusted that he killed him

How do they know they're evil?..They could be saying, "We take in the homeless!!..Bwraaaahhhhhhh!!!...We do food drives!!..Bwraaahhhhhh!!"

Loudwire: The most evil bands. Loudwire Translation: The most popular black metal bands we could think of.

Dissection is such an awesome band tho, that live version of the somberlain right there sounds absolutely beautiful

Dark Funeral deserves a honorable mention.

I wouldn’t say stalaggh is really “evil”, they’re more absolutely fucking terrifying

#8 sounds like some guys that stepped on legos and then tripped and fell onto more legos.

People: Behemoth are evil! Meanwhile, Nergal: Kids, this is how you cut tomatoes.

My dad told me this story once about how he went to go see Otep and Slipknot in concert and he got to smoke a bowl with Joey Jordison, the main drummer of slipknot (RIP). And he got to go on their tour bus together and smoke all night… goddamn, Dad was pretty fucking cool

Do these guys do weddings?

Me: **accidentally hits my little brother** Me: please don’t cry My little brother: 1:50

0:49 do they do birthday parties by any chance 😂

I love how different they all sound from eachother. how one guy is like double bass pedalling the shit out of his kit and then the next song is like, nothing like it. also love the lyrics and vocal melodies. very touching stuff.

#1. Tool People have died waiting for a new album

0:54 how the hell did they get a recording of my classroom

My grandma put this video together for loudwire. She's really proud of it guys so don't make fun of her. She put a lot of work into this

Essentially a list of some of the greatest black metal bands of all time.. I’m sure ‘evilness’ exists in other genres, like major commercial pop, neo nazi skinhead punk, and horrorcore rap…

We all know one band so evil they can’t be shown on any list, so evil that even mentioning their names will make satan himself quiver in fear, so evil that no one dares to mention their name. The Wiggles

How to: Be Evil Step 1: get a band Step 2: edgy name Step 3: have barely understandable vocals Step 4: prophet

My friend met Nergal from behemoth and described him as really cool

#8 gives me hope of starting a successful career in music 🎶.

Is no one gonna mention that the #8 spot was recorded in a mental asylum and all of the screams are real?

Okay. Belphegor are an extreme blackened death metal band from Austria. They are named after the demon otherwise known as “sloth”, as well as one of the seven princes of Hell. Their music has been described as diabolic. The band’s frontman Helmuth Lehner was spat on by a Christian orthodox activist at an airport in Russia in April of 2016. So their music has stirred controversy between those offended by their lifestyle. Behemoth are a Polish extreme black and death metal band from Gdańsk, Poland. They were a band that were banned from playing in Poznań, as well as Russia in 2014. The frontman Adam Michaeł Darski, stage name Nergal, has frequently been on trial in Poland for tearing up the Bible in 2007. Stalaggh is a Dutch black metal and experimental noise group formed in 2000. The name derives from German concentration camps known as Stalag. The additional “g” and “h” are an abbreviation of “Global Holocaust”. Despite being a band from the Netherlands and Belgium, the collective have made themselves anonymous and claim they intend to keep it that way. The darkest fact about their music is that one of Stalaggh’s members worked at a mental institution, where the group recorded real screams of patients. The reason they do this is to capture the sounds of hatred and painful emotions which essentially recreate the situations of Stalag concentration camps. During one of the recording sessions, it was said that a patient almost murdered one of the members of the band. Yeah... why these guys aren’t higher up is beyond me. Emperor are a Norwegian black metal band formed in 1991. Vegard Sverre Tveitan, the vocalist known better by Ihsahn, possibly admitted to being an arsonist in an interview, promoting the burning of the Skjold Church, a church said to be around for a century. But their controversy most likely stems from their previous drummer Bård Guldvik Eithun, or “Faust”, who was a convicted murderer. Shining are a Swedish black metal band formed in 1996 by frontman Niklas Kvarforth in Halmstad, Sweden. I think this quote greatly sums up their music. “Of course we support suicide, Shining support all that is negative in this bastard world of ours. We have had a couple of cases in the past with people whom have ended their lives under the influence or partially under the influence of our work and of course this is a true blessing indeed, yet we pray for increased numbers of fatalities.” - Niklas Kvarforth Marduk are a Swedish black metal band from Norrköping, formed in 1990. Frontman Morgan Steinmeyer Håkansson set out to create “the most satanic and blasphemous band in the world”. Further works of Marduk relate to that of the Holocaust. They sampled a march on their album titled “Nightwing” which related to the fascist and anti-semitic Iron Guard, a political party from Romania. The band were forced to leave a tour due to delays in visas. In February of 2017, the venue canceled their Oakland show for fears of security issues after a local fascist group threatened the band and venue staff. The band’s vocalist and percussionist, Mortuus and Fredrik Widigs, respectively, were accused of purchasing items from the Nordic Renaissance Movement, a Pan-Nordic neo-Nazi party. However, Mortuus and Widigs denied this. Dissection were a Swedish extreme black and death metal band from Strömstad, formed in 1989 by frontman Jon Nödtveidt and bassist Peter Palmdahl. Nödtveidt was a member of the Misanthropic Luciferian Order, a satanic occult order from Sweden formed in 1995. The band separated in 1997 due to a crime connected to Nödtveidt. The Keillers Park Murder was an unsolved case of a man, now identified as Josef Ben Meddour, who was shot twice with a pistol. A woman entered a police station in Stockholm claiming to know the culprits behind the case, saying that her boyfriend Vlad confessed to murdering Meddour along with his friend and fellow MLO cult member, Jon Nödtveidt. The two were promptly arrested with Nödtveidt receiving a sentence of ten years. Nödtveidt was however released in 2004, when he restarted the project of Dissection before disbanding in May of 2006. That same year, Nödtveidt would take his own life in his apartment surrounded by a circle of lit candles and beside him a copy of the Liber Azerate, a satanic book written by Frater Nemidal, leader of the MLO. Watain are a Swedish black metal band from Uppsala, formed in 1998. The band are infamous for their Theistic Satanist views, as well as quite recently infamously known for their concerts in which the band used pyrotechnics and candles as well as the limbs and bones of animal carcasses. Watain went so far as to douse their audience in the blood of said animals in a show at the Brooklyn Night Bazaar in 2014. It was reported that this stunt caused many in the audience to vomit. This garnered attention on TMZ, where the band was noted with extreme controversy. Gorgoroth are a Norwegian black metal band based in Bergen, formed in 1992, by guitarist Roger Tiegs, stage name Inferus. Gorgoroth drew controversy from their concerts which included featuring impaled sheep heads and mock crucifixions. Infernus is open about his theistic satanism and considers himself as “Satan’s minister on Earth”. He has also said he started the band Gorgoroth for the purpose of expressing his beliefs in satanism. Former vocalist Kristian Eivind Espedal, or Gaahl, responded to a question in an interview asking what the inspiration for Gorgoroth’s music was. Gaahl simply said “Satan”. When asked what he believed Satan represented, Gaahl replied “Freedom”. Infernus and Gaahl both were openly supportive in the church burnings perpetrated by members of the black metal scene, with Gaahl stating that there should have been more and that there will be more. Gorgoroth also strongly evade sharing the lyrics to their music, though the reason behind this is unclear. It only adds to the strangeness. Mayhem are a Norwegian black metal band formed in Olso in 1984. They were one of the founders of the Norwegian black metal scene and their music has shaped the black metal genre as a whole in what its know as today. The backstory and controversy behind this band is probably the most notoriously well known compared to the rest on this list. Per Yngve Ohlin, better known by his stage name “Dead”, was the vocalist for the band from 1988 to 1991. This would be the year he would kill himself in the house he had lived in with fellow band members Euronymous and Hellhammer. Eronymous found Dead with his wrists and throat slit, as well as a gunshot would to his head. He left a suicide note behind stating that he claimed he wasn’t human, saying he was actually dead and that he was in a dream. He left the lyrics to the song “Life Eternal” behind and said that he came up with the idea of not being humanly alive seventeen years ago. Euronymous, believing Dead’s death to be a promotional stunt, returned with a camera to photograph the aftermath and used one of the photos as the album cover for the band’s bootleg live album “Dawn Of The Black Hearts”. In 1993 Euronymous would be fatally stabbed by fellow band member and founder of the band Burzum, Varg Vikernes due to an altercation at the latter’s home.

Looking at this video again And seeing Mayhem at #1 I think “Yeah of course”. But after having seen numerous interviews with a more adult Jorn “Necrobutcher” Stubberud I became to know them as just a bunch of misguided youth in a misguided scene (the music is awesome, but I’m talking about the group of young people at the time). Just a volatile mix of peer pressure, isolation, alienation, poverty, addiction, neglect. I’ve seen Necrobutcher’s face in some interviews being just completely... human, and also wondering to himself “what the hell were we doing?”. About the crimes of course. He’s fucking adamant about being in the greatest and truest black metal band of all time.

Evil as in lyrics or as in acts? Normally these videos give a little comment caption on the reason why each band was chosen.

What my class hears when I play Nirvana

Thanks! Now i have a new playlist

Sadistik Exekution, Dragged Into Sunlight, Darkthrone, Burzum, Bestial Warlust, Enbilulugugal, Monge, RavenSblood and GG Allin & The Murder Junkies are some examples that could be mentioned as well. 😉

Why the bands are on the list: Belphegor: no idea Behemoth: no idea Stalaggh: kidnapping mentally sick people to perform backing vocals Emperor: Drummer "Faust" commited murder Shining: Frontman, Niklas, have supported suicide and commited assault Marduk: no idea Dissection: Frontman, Jon, commited murder (he also killed himself, when being at the peak of his life, because that was a philosophy he had) Watain: Frontman, Erik, poured blood on the audience Gorgoroth: held a live show in Krakow using animal blood, sacrificing goats and crucified women. Frontman convicted for assault and torture Mayhem: church burnings, guitarist used their lead singer's suicide for the band's 'hardcore' image (included using pieces of his skull to create necklaces, using a picture of his corpse for an album cover and saying that the vocalist commited suicide because death metal was getting popular), bassist killed guitarist.

Kids in my grade when I play Pearl Jam , nirvana, or Iron Maiden

I wouldn’t really say Belphegor is evil.. apparently Helmuth is a really freaking awesome dude

I needed to be uplifted today, thank you RU-vid algorithm and Loudwire! 🤘

No Nickelback?

Cannibal corpses wasn't on the list because George Fisher is actually a nice guy

we should be agree with the fact that modern Mayhem is not Mayhem, Mayhem ended with Euronymous dead

The fact i saw half these bands , all exceptional shows, Belphorger, Emperor, Mayhem, Behemoth, And the mighty Marduk twice, one show with Legion vocaling and two years ago with Abysmal Dawn and Incantation, such talent, though no Dark Funeral on this list.

Girls Lockeroom: Andy broke up with her it's so sad :( Boys Lockeroom: 0:46

Ten most evil bands of all time: 1. Norwegian, 2. Norwegian, 3. Swedish, 4. Swedish, 5. Swedish, 6. Swedish, 7. Norwegian, 8. Dutch/Belgian(?), 9. Polish, 10. Austrian. Guess we're pretty evil up here in the north.

The Stalaggh song sounds like a recording from a porta-potty outside a Taco Bell 🔔

Can you believe that the last top 2 bands had a childhood? Like, their parents probably brought them to drumming/singing/guitar lessons? Imagine what they think of them now. Lol.

I've left scarier things in the toilet.

More like here's a list of popular black metal bands

2:59 Try not to get scared challenge

im looking up these bands and their all from Sweden or Norway formed in the 90s , I didn't know Sweden and Norway had such a metal scene

It disappoints & saddens me... ...that Justin Beiber is not on this list. 😞

I like how they gave no information or any background.

I vote Stalaggh for #1 most evil band. The song here starts off as pure torturous Horrifying Screams from the gates of the deepest darkest level of HELL that deserves the number one spot.

I’m surprised Silencer is not in the list on the 1st place,it’s definitely one of the most unique bands.

Justin Bieber should be #1 I always feel suicidal when I listen to baby

clickbait, real title is Probably the 10 most evil looking bands of all time

That Stalaggh song jams so hard. Hits right in the feels.... goosebumps all over.

Every band sounded exactly the same

Stalaggh is 1 of the most scariest and creepiest bands I've ever heard. When I 1st heard it I about jumped out of my skin.

You forgot the one true evil band: Nickelback.

How do I book them for my daughter's sweet 16 party?

Lord Jesus have mercy on them.

Adam (Nergal) is an awesome guy. Gaahl is actually one of the nicest and polite men I've ever met. I've partied with Belphegor, those guys are a riot and can seriously drink. Ihsahn is humble and shy. There's so much to these guys as human beings.

What a bunch of gentlemen. Imagine your daughter bringing one of these chaps home to meet you.

Who exactly has decided they're evil? Nergal from Behemoth is literally one of the nicest guys in the world.

Whoever made this video literally searched up evil black metal band and took the first 10 they found.

Slipknot after making Iowa: OK, we had tried...

What the fuck is that at number 8?? Feels like an elephant being raped by a ghost.

0:46 When you step on a lego

I'd like to read what the captions say during these songs as I can't make out a damn word

Did these young men have bad childhoods? I'm just asking. I think it would be interesting to see what type of family's these band members group up it.

My friends hear this when I play slipknot 😂

mayhem is the well deserved "evil" title in this list, they ripped off like 3 members of the band

I bet if you took time to meet any one of these guys you'd meet some of the coolest people on earth

3, 2, and 1 genuinely scared me- it’s fr like Satan completely took over there body- (no offense)

They forgot Deicide,Morbid Angel,Cannibal Corpse and One Direction.

No matter what they do on stage the darkest band will always be mayhem

They claim to be evil but once they meet their influences, they bow down to them and kiss their feet and beg for their autographs.

Stalaggh has the most intense mosh pits and wall of deaths I have ever been in and I have been going to shows for 20+ years. Just madness!

Nothing evil about these bands...True evil is POP Music...

I guess all those people who say "Metal is just screaming" listened to Stalaggh and formed their opinion around that

Don't suppose anyone knows the titles of the songs featured on this list?

Topicstarter: posting 10 Most Evil Bands of All Time Me: listening Limbonic Art Me again: listening Mekong Delta

Behemoth ain't evil c'mon 😂 they were promoting a puppy adoption center along with Slipknot

Some of these need some backstory as to why they are "evil", so let me fill you guys in: 10: Nothing 9: They uhm look evil? 8: The band went to a mental institution and recorded mental patients and victims of abuse and made an entire album of them screaming 7: Their former drummer, Faust, was convicted of stabbing a man to death 6: The frontman is known for assaulting audience members 5: They look and sound evil I guess 4: The frontman was involved in a killing 3: Blasphemy and all that good stuff 2: Band were arrested for blasphemy in Poland, and the frontman tortured a guy for several hours in "self-defence" and threatened to drink his blood 1: Former bassist set 3 churches on fire (possibly more) and stabbed his bandmate to death and served 15 years in prison

All I heard was..."AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Dead, Euronymous, Count grishnackh, and Maniac. The four horsemen of mayhem and even black metal itself. I think if mayhem had held on to maniac some other crazy dark event would have taken place in the band’s history. The man is and was what his name is. Total maniac !

I'd also like to add the band that sang Baby Shark to this list.

Remember that Charles Manson was also a musician.

What live show or song is featured in the Shining entry??? I have to trying so hard to find it

They forgot the Swedish black metal band Dark Funeral

Mayhem is the craziest band I’ve ever heard. Especially when you read into the bands history

Average Joe: Metal is nothing but noise Metalhead: No it's not Average Joe: *plays Satalaggh* Metalhead: *whispers* fuck this guy is good.

Apparently, these people havent heard Seth Putnams band "Impaled Northern Moonforest". Their song "Summoning the Unholy Frozen Winterdemons to the Grimmest and Most Frostbitten Inverted Forest of Abazagorath". Has been known to channel Satan himself to your living room and make it a bit more frostbitten.

These are definitely some of the black metal bands in the world.

Norway in a nutshell.

You missed out One Direction, the "band" that brainwashed millions of kids with total drivel.

this is where i come to find new bands to listen to

wtf? these 10 bands probably represent the most popular and not the most evil bands in extreme metal...

Nickelback is my favorite Satanic Metal band

You forgot Britney Spears.

10: Lostprophets 9: Marduk 8: Emperor 7: DIssection 6: Stalaggh 5: Shining 4: Silencer 3: Gorgoroth 2: Burzum 1: Mayhem

Wen my mom denies to tell me bed time story...this is my second solution for a peaceful night
