New to black metal, but have surveyed the whole scene. And undoubtedly, it's all about Immortal! So many great albums, so many great tracks, and this one....above all!
The first black metal song I've ever listened to, and still one of my favourites of any metal song from any band. I mean, the riff and beat at 1:02. Nothing better.
I have to hear this song at least once a day. I can't say why. Maybe it's the rhythm of the song. Damned in Black is another song that keeps me coming back. The drums in that song make me want to hear it over and over.
lol i can relate too. Damn i used to laugh at death metal i thought it was stupid, probably because of my earlier influence of slipknot, but then i started getting into cannibal corpse, and other death metal bands and now i own 8 of their albums. same with black metal i never realized how good it was. burzum, and mayhem are my top and hopefully immortal will fit in their too from what ive heard so far.
hehe, i've asked such a question for a few years, my friend. No one listens to black metal in the state of washington.... (generalized stereotype for all who take figures of speech literally) Hail Immortal!!
i've been reading the comments below, and saw people saying all of the great black metal band names, but i haven't seen that anyone mentioned Quorthon or Bathory. And that's kind of ironic, after all Qourthon is the father of black metal

Yep, have heard all those bands, and they are all undoubtedly brilliant, also love Marduk (some albums), and Taake, but for me, no one matches the consistency and evolution of Immortal. Metal Gods! (Emperor are simply majestic...but Immortal for me is the one)
@ImaPirate83 I've got acquainted with Immortal via their At The Heart of Winter album... that stuff is the most complex yet dark relase by them and all the songs are enjoyable
no venom made the album Black Metal, but I've never really considered them as a black metal. Qourthon was the one who defined black metal as genre with Satanic lyric, low fidelity production and growling. He was also the father of Viking Metal
No, Dave Grohl is actually really good friends with Abbath and they've collaborated many times, the Foo Fighter's song is actually a spoof on Immortal's song.
yes it is abbath from the pre-sons of northern darkness shooting. saroth looks different and i hope the maker of this video did not use a member, that isn't in the band anymore.
Anyone else remember the heart of winter booklet that came with the c.d.? That picture of abbath trying to look grim and dark but when you look closer, his zipper is down on his pants. Always makes me laugh lol.
I've recently become a fan of Immortal, anyone care to inform me of some of the best songs? its a little hard to find them, But yeah, ill look more around
@SquirrelOfTime I do respect Drummers, I love some speed Metal, like, have you ever heard " Black Dahlia's murder " check a song named, " statutory ape ".. I tried this but it's just not my style.. and I respect the brothers who listen to black metal..
@Dirtspawn064 at least I tried it. and I didn't come here to talk shit about the people who listen to this, because at the end, it's not far from what I do listen.. YOU GOT A POINT..!! Peace and long life to metal..!!!
