Everything should listen to Thorns. The man guy in that band is Snorre Ruch and he is credited as having made the typical Norwegian black metal riff, along with Euronymous from Mayhem.
I am so glad, and so impressed, that you mentioned Samael ceremony of opposites.... so few people know about this album and its really a freaking banger... really one of my favorites
I second this! Ceremony of Opposites is a great album, I really was unaware of the fact that it is heavily ignored within the scene. People are missing out at their own peril!
@@rothbardfreedom Yup. I have no idea how someone with even a marginal interest in BM could possibly be unaware of Ceremony of Opposites. Aborym is a much more obscure band although they were talked of back in the day, mainly due to Attila's presence.
These video’s are killer. Getting new music and a history lesson on different sub genre’s is amazing keep at it man you’ve introduced me to a trove of art I didn’t find accessible until now
Gorgonea Prima's Black Coal Depression is a must-listen for anyone who likes IBM leaning more towards the electronic side. They deserved more listeners, give em some love.
Man..Axis of Perdition is so underrated. One of the few black metal bands I really get into, everyone of their albums and EP are super immersive. Hopefully a new one comes out in the near future
I recall a band called Godkiller doing at least two industrial black metal albums after a couple of straight up black metal attempts. I should go listen to them again and see if it was a good as I remember.
Oof I knew you had to put Axis of Perdition on your list! Deleted Scenes is so heavy to listen at night or when you're reading. Thanks for highlighting all these bands to new people, Wyatt.
Some other bands you should consider if you're into industrial black metal: P.H.O.B.O.S. (industrial blackened doom) Phobonoid (industrial black/doom) Taken by Wolves (industrial black) Mysticum (Black metal with industrial influences) Woest (Black metal with industrial influences) Decoherence (atmospheric industrial black metal) Myrkskog (Black/death metal with industrial influences) DSKNT (blackened death metal) Disconect (blackened death doom metal, especially their swansong album) Some tracks from prolific industrial metal band Red Harvest have a black metal influence like Last Call and Fix hammer fix
Since you're on an industrial kick, I'll recommend a criminally underrated Prong album, Rude Awakening, if you've never heard it. They incorporated industrial into their sound so well, but only for one album. The album got shit on when it came out which I will never understand, it's a classic to me.
I was just thinking of that album. My favorite track is "Dark Signs." I have a couple of the Albuns Wyatt mentioned here and Rude Awakening fits with them perfectly.
One important early album you missed is MZ.412 - "Burning the temple of god". This one is really interesting because rather than being metal guys incorporating bits of industrial, it's OG industrial guys incorporating BM elements.
An industrial BM EP from a band I had never heard of came up on my youtube recently, Fenris by The Helheim Society from 1996. Don’t know if you’ve heard of them, from what I could find it seemed like an extremely under the radar band, but the material was very strong. Highly recommended if you haven’t heard it.
There is definitively a trend towards weirdness in your videos as they proggress in time (ie: starting with Thorns and Mystycum, ending with Rvbber VVitch), it reminds me a bit of the iceberg videos
I'm learning about so much cool music from you! Thank you! Going to explore these. I love all metal but have a fondness for sludge and doom... There are very few industrial doom metal bands out there, only one I can think of is Unus Mundus. 🤣
Thank you for these brilliant suggestions. My introduction to industrial black metal has been Diabolicum's "dark blood rising" and I am totally infatuated with the subgenre now.
Daarlig Stemning is another black metal band that seems to have some industrial influence in their sound. Their song "Forstad for Darkness" from their album Elsker Beton is one of my favorites. Great video man! Very insightful.
one newer project to check out is "lykotonon", from no other than people from blood incantation and wayfarer. really a strange mix of heavy influences of black metal, edm and industrial, but it just scratches some specific, weird itch in my brain. the mix is also great on the debut so it is an easy listen sound quality wise. can do nothing but recommend giving it a try.
One band I can think of when it comes to industrial black metal is Iperyt. My personal favorite is their second album No State of Grace. Really good stuff!
Hell yes,but I'm not sure if they have/had a black metal element. They have been reformed since 2015,I'm eagerly awaiting new stuff from them and Ved Buens Ende.
I have With No Human Intervention,666 International,Rebel Extravaganza,and the Thorns self titled. Some Annal Nathrakh as well. Pretty much good stuff. I have the Mysticum album too,haven't listened for a while but will go back to it. Fullmoon Productions was actually ran outta my city here in Florida for a good bit. Will check out the other stuff you mentioned, man. Good vid.
LOVE LOVE LOVE your sweatshirt. ❤👍 Nothing says Industrial Black Metal like a 1985 Madonna song. 🤘🤘🤘 I know/knew nothing about Industrial Black Metal, but can happily talk about Madge all day. 🙂
Mussorgski - in harmony with the universe is an incredibly weird industrial BM album, 90s polish stuff. Some of the songs are great and others are shit but it's definitely worth listening to. I also always got a nice industrial vibe from the 3 drum machine mutiilation albums, not so much because they have any electronics but more so that cold, metallic, mechanical vibe that early nathrakh does too
Love Thorns but prefer DHG also mysticum. Also no December Wolves? a band local to you made the blueprint for the uber aggressive industrial black metal with their two records Completely Dehumanized and Blasterpiece theatre (their debut "til ten years" is more by the book black metal)
Great video, great bands you recommend only one that is very important that I did not hear you mention would be Haemoth. Members from Spektr. Very aggressive they are the only band that has scratched that itch that Snorre has been ignoring by not releasing his second album for the last 15 years…
mysticum decided to let go HELLHAMMER so they could sound more inhuman. in between mysticum and aborym i would have mentioned Dodheimsgard. I hate when people comment "hey there is this band X i like and i'm pissed that you didnt included it in your top list", but in this case, we are talking about a handful of bands doing industrial bm in the late 90s so it's kind of a hard to miss
I wonder if you could ever research us up a showcase of the best extreme metal packaging design. Like the Gozer's Den channel but showing Mortician's vinyl cut into sawblades.
Very nice video! If you're looking for a very intense Industrial Black Metal experience from Finland, definitely check out the Atar Unit - Subordination + Lead Of Lies compilation (catalogue number RAT-067), which I've released via my label.
So seeing this video made me think of minatory for some reason (probably because I was listening to black metal made my minatory producers just now) but I wanna know Wyatt have you heard of minatory? If yes what’s your opinion on it?
I like your open-ended loose definition of industrial which I think you made on a previous video. What about Spektr and Diabolicum? You consider them industrial? I'd think you dug Spektr lots.
Dødheimsgard never did anything to captitalise on something, in fact when they changed their style they lost a lot of fans and have never really been popular when compared to their fellow Norwegians. Also 666 international is incredible but that's just my subjective opinion.
i just saw Mysticum live last weekend, once you hear 2 songs you've heard them all. entertaining and the light show is cool, but doesnt feel like black metal
Always felt that it was WAAAAAY more industrial than black metal. As if they were an industrial project that was interested in the aesthetic of black metal .
