Just wanted to say, thanks for doing what you do man. I am a metalcore/deathcore fan myself (lol) but i LOVE learning about the heavier and more extreme genres and i respect all of them. Its been a shit year but im glad RU-vid hasnt completely gone to shit because there's still good channels like yours out there. Thanks for everything man, love your content

So happy to see Peste Noire's debut album on your top 3. It's my favourite BM album so far. Thank you for all the other recommendations. Will start listening to all.

Cool list buddy. Always great to see people's takes on a genre. Big Masters Hammer fan here.

Although we do have many in common, Transylvania Hunger, and Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk are albums that set the pace and influenced the black metal scene as very few (Deathspell Omega for example) have done. Those deserve to be in the top 10 at least. Anyway keep up the good work🤟

Very happy to see some love for Ulver’s Bergtatt! That’s one of my favorite albums period.

I'll give a list of a few favorites in no order. Its gonna be mostly 90's stuff because i'm old. Not all Satanic but in that black metal style. Hecate Enthroned - The Slaughter Of Innocence, A Requiem For The Mighty Ancient - Cainian Chronicle Sacramentum - Far Away From The Sun Lord Belial - Unholy Crusade Dissection - Storm of the Lights Bane Mgla - Exercises In Futility Marduk - Those Of The Unlight Bewitched - Diabolical Desecration Naglfar - Diabolical Dawn - Slaughertsun Unanimated - Ancient God of Evil Immortal - Sons Of Northern Darkness Emperor - In The Nightside Eclipse Necrophobic - The Third Antichrist Dark Funeral - The Secrets Of The Black Arts Gorgoroth - Pentagram Enthroned - Prophecies Of Pagan Fire Borknagar - Quintessence Tsjuder - Desert Northern Hell Urgehal - Through Thick Fog Till Death Carpathian Forest - Through Chasm, Caves And Titan Woods Satyricon - Nemesis Divina Darkthrone - Panzerfaust Burzum - Burzum Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas Gehenna - Malice Agathodaimon - Blacken The Angel Dimmu Borgir - Enthrone Darkness Triumphant Old Man's Child - Ill Natured Spiritual Invasion God Dethroned - Grand Grimoire (more in the black metal style back then) Dark Fortress - Tales From Eternal Dusk Dodheimsgard (DHG) - Supervillan Outcast Ved Buens Ende - Written In Waters Arcturus - Aspera Hiems Symfonia Vintersorg - Till Fjälls Enslaved - Hordanes Land Windir - Arntor Falkenbach - Haralding The Fireblade Thyrfing - Urkraft Mithotyn - King Of The Distant Forest In Aeternum - Forever Blasphemy Bethlehem - Dictius Te Necare Cultus Sanguine - Shadows' Blood Opera IX - Sacro Culto Astarte - Sirens Rotting Christ - Triarchy Of The Lost Lovers Varathron - His Majesty At The Swamp Necromantia - Crossing The Fiery Path Thou Art Lord - Eosforos Absu - Tara Melechesh - Emissaries Behemoth - Grom Destroyer 666 - Phoenix Rising Aura Noir - Black Thrash Attack Samael - Blood Ritual Mystifier - Wicca Barathrum - Hailstorm Vinterland - Welcome My Last Chapter Mork Gryning - Tusen Ar Har Gatt Sorhin - I Det Glimrande Morkrets Djup Vargavinter - Frostfodd Midvinter - At The Sight Of The Apocalypse Dragon Noctes - Pandemonic Requiem Setherial - Nord... Ragnarok - Nattferd Thy Primordial - At The World Of Untrodden Wonder Odium - The Sad Realm Of The Stars Limbonic Art - Moon In The Scorpio Abigor - Nachthymnen Sargeist - Disciple Of The Heinous Path And the list could go on and on and on and on because i have way too many favorites and digging through my collection i've made a mess now lol.

Holy fuck dude. There is some incredible black metal on here that I've never even heard of. Thanks for making this and showing me some other incredible bands. Also it wasn't until I saw a interview with Dan Swano that I found out that Jon from Dissection is actually pronounced Yoon. That kind of blew my mind.

Great list PostMan, a lot of 'unexpected' records in here. I have always found it a bit funny that people started hating Varg for talking about 'role-playing' games on his channel, knowing full well he got 'famous' for murdering 'some Guy' in the nineties.. people, am I right?!

I really enjoyed this video! You don't spend too long on each album but still manage to say plenty of noteworthy things about them all and one can tell you are engaged, which makes me feel engaged as well :) Definitely gonna check out Ulver!

I just can't stop listening to Inhumane Minimalism, such an awesome album! Thanks for the recommendation

Great video, Got into the genre again recently after years of not listening with MGLA and Batuskha and this has been a good video for finding new bands.

I agree with #1 and exactly what you said about it, great video and great albums !

Great shout with number 12. One of my absolute favourites. All their records are.

Great list. Thanks!

The Ways of Yore is unironically my favorite Burzum album. It was always Filosofem before but TWoY just kept growing and growing, it’s such a beautiful masterpiece

Thanks my friend for this list.

Your description of The Voice of Steel is perfect. That album is monumental in its mastery and glory. Absolutely unrivaled musical genius. The only reason I don’t put it in my top 5 favorite bm albums is cause I actually consider it more of a folk metal album than black metal. By far the greatest folk metal album of all time

My top 10: Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse Ulver - Bergtatt Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas Darkthrone - Under a Funeral Moon Master's Hammer - Ritual Tormentor - Anno Domini Moonsorrow - Jumalten Aika Absu - Tara Deströyer 666 - Defiance Beherit - Drawing Down the Moon

Bought that Lantlos album today because of your video. Also streamed Summoning for the first time. Fucking epic. I loved every second of it.

Love the ending!

I've been getting into black metal this past month and you sir has helped a lot whit this list and other content on you channel This list should have some Paysage D' Hiver praise tho

I'm just getting back into black metal. Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk is still my favorite black metal album of all time and one of my top 10 albums period.

Thank you for introducing me to Human Serpent! These guys are awesome and "Mother of Depression" is an immediate favorite! 🤘

No particular order but here's a couple of my favourites Obtained Enslavement - Witchcraft Blut Aus Nord - Memoria Vetusta III Immortal - Battles in The North Abigor - Nachthymnen Rebirth of Nefast - Tabernaculum Antlers - A Gaze Into The Abyss Akhlys - The Dreaming I Bethlehem - Dictius Te Necare Panopticon - Roads To The North Wolves In The Throne Room - Two Hunters Emperor - Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk Havukruunu - Havulinnaan Ulver - Bergtatt Darkthrone - Under A Funeral Moon White Ward - Futility Report Bathory - Under The Sign of the Black Mark

thankyou so much for this honestly. I'm currently listening to inhumane minimalism and its insanely good!

summoning & nokturnal mortum are really great bands i never listen to before watching your top list, thx for this. I listen to black metal since the early 90s and still can discover so much music :) I'm used to bands like Bethlehem, Striborg, Graveland, Abigor.... but Summoning is a kind of his own (this music is so cool).

Omg I love Terra Tenebrosa, I hope to see them live one day, I don’t even know if they’re still active. I really like older Peste Noire and Anaal Nathrakh as well. I don’t think I can make a proper list, but here are few of my favorite: Cult of Fire - Ascetic Meditation of Death Deathspell Omega - Paracletus Emperor - Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk Mayhem - De Misteriis Dom Sathanas Dissection - Storm of the Light’s Bane Mgła - Exercises in Futility Mysthyrming - Songvar Elds Og Oreidu Sinmara - Hvisl Stjarnanna Shining - Halmstad Windir - 1184 Gris - Il Etait Une Foret Negura Bunget - Om Code - Resplendent Grotesque

I'll do my top 5 favs(for now). 1. Darkthrone - Under a Funeral Moon (Blaze is close) 2. Mütiilation - Vampires of Black Imperial Blood 3. Abigor - Verwüstung / Invoke the Dark Age 4. Bathory - Under the Sign of the Black Mark (close with The Return.....) 5. Forgotten Woods - As the Wolves Gather

I had never listened to Summoning until I stumbled upon your page. That album is truly interesting and great. Glad I found your page!

Yes hair care video please. Pretty diverse list (and taste) my friend

I recommend Alpenpässe by Minenwerfer! One of my favourite albums of all time. Also, knew Peste Noire would be on there I discovered them because of you and now love them so thanks for that

Winterfylleth, Goatmoon, Burzum, Mavorim, thy dying light and Taake would some off my highlight’s. Cool vid stay safe. New sub.

I love dissection and I was not aware that Jon had other projects! Thanks for introducing me to new stuff man 👊

A lot of my top 10 BM albums are classics everyone already knows, but I would recommend Dispirit - Enantiodromian Birth Arizmenda - Within the Vacuum of inifinty Sale Freux - Subterraneus Hwwauoch - Into the Labyrinth of Consciousness

I gave you a sub and a like for all the links you put in the description for all the bands. Really aoorecuated that.

I think "Mgla - Exercises in Futility" definitely needs some airtime in a "top 25" discussion. That album is objectively incredible and some of the best insturmental execution in the genre. I enjoyed listening to your list. Some really amazing stuff in there with a nice mix of sounds.

Honestly I don't listen to much black metal, but I linseed to Dictus De Nacare recently and loved eveything about it!

Thank you for your well informed and dedication to your channel. I recently subscribed. I very solid and informed compilation. Of course we all know this is largely subjective... a very what’s the greatest fruit an orange or a banana? Comes down to ones subjective taste. That said you have a very well thought out and I like and agree mostly with your taste here. Your call on The Tunnel album was a good one but in that same vain / sound / mood / field we have to include a Ruins Of Beverest in your line-up. 4 of them would all do. Thx man and keep doing what your doing here. I look forward to more of your posts

1. Horna - Musta Kaipuu 2. Mgla - Presence 3. Ettinskjalf - Depraved and Deceived 4. Burzum - Filosofem 5. Minenwerfer - Alpenpässe 6. Taake - Doedskvad 7. Darkthrone - A Blaze in the Northern Sky 8. Djevel - Dodssanger 9. Satanic Warmaster - Cerelian Satanist Madness 10. Ashes - Ashes

This is an albums of the decade list with some extra steps

I already know Der Sturmer is gonna be number 1

I don't listen to black metal very often, but when I do I just go with these: Anaal Nathrakh: The Codex Necro and ITCOTBW Misthyrming: Alglyemi, Mgła: Exercise In Futility, Gruzja: Jeszcze nie mamy na was pomysłu, and if we count it as black metal: Lorna Shore - AIRTN (Ep.) (Blackened Deathcore) Mental Cruelty - A Hill To Die Upon (Blackened Deathcore)

Murmuüre’s self titled is a really good blending of black metal, synth and avant garde elements.

Peste Noir debute has been in my rotation for years now. People can say what they like. I personally can care less. Burzum is fantastic as well. There is no discussion about vargs contribution. You mentioned some others that I Love too, and some flat out classics. Nice video, and you did a kick ass job with the description. Your number 1 pick goes back with me so far. Good to see the young blood knowing their shit.

i can just recommend diving into the nowadays icelandic black metal scene. beginning with Svartidauði - Flesh Cathedral, that beast of an album that started this new wave, and their second album Revelations of The Red Sword that is a masterpiece in cosmic black art. Sinmara, Misþyrming, Wormlust, Andavald and Nornahetta are also worth checking out. For everybody waiting for a new Negative Plane album i highly recommend paying regard to the side project of Bestial Devotion. its called Funereal Presence, and his last Album Achatius is phenomenal! and give Jordablod - Upon my cremation pyre a turn. an album i just recently discovered is the debut from Forteresse - Métal Noir Québécois. and its just that good! and if you like black metal with some folk elements check out Negura Bunget - OM.

never thought I’d see Bethlehem in this video, and in the top 10 aswell! Underrated af

Now I've been through your list and ended up buying the albums by The Summoning (already had plans to get this one), Human Serpent, Master's Hammer (had listened to one album of theirs previously, it was ok but not great), Negative Plane, and Diabolical Masquerade. I already have the Deathspell Omega trilogy of albums and I agree they're great. I'm not a big fan of intense shrillness and noise in BM. I feel myself at home here in Level 4 maximum (in reference to your other video) :)

I've two of your TOP25 and planning to buy your #1. The obscure band, and their sole album that is missing from I think everyone's lists, is Midvinter - At The Sight Of The Apocalypse Dragon. I listen to many kind of metal Black Metal included. But this album is something else. It's like a world all its own, a cosmic epic battle basically and a treatise on metal music in general. It includes many metal subgenres below Black Metal. The production is stellar too. And in places it also has this slight game music vibe that the Summoning has. I think it could be the best metal album out of my collection of maybe 400-500. Very highly recommended.

Some of the black metal albums I love are as follows: - New Bermuda by Deafheaven (maybe my all-time favourite?) - Stained Glass Revelations by Negative Plane - The Pact... by Negative Plane (my black metal co-AOTY) - The Furnaces of Palingenesia by Deathspell Omega - Hostile Architecture by Ashenspire (my OTHER black metal AOTY) - A Blaze in the Northern Sky by Darkthrone - Litourgiya by Batushka - In The Nightside Eclipse by Emperor I'm going to check out that Nokturnal Mortum album you mentioned. I didn't get into those guys for the longest time because of their NS background, but the album you mentioned apparently has no racist lyrics in it, sooooo... maybe I'll just listen to that one here on RU-vid. However, I'll stick with Ungfell for that medieval folk-tinged sound. Too many red flags on that Peste Noire album cover. You are certainly more gutsier than me when it comes to supporting controversial bands! Do what you want, though. As long as it makes YOU happy, that is all that matters, right?

Great video. I miss a bit of DSBM. Please check out Lurker of Chalice, Throane.

Haha! A band from my home country on top spot. Never would have thought that 😄

Good list. Alot of the bands I have heard of a while ago but never got around to checking them out. Abigor and Summoning,especially. I agree with you on Anaal Nathrakh,but on the Ulver choice im torn between Bergtatt and Nattens Madrigal. I also think Det Som Engang Var is Burzum's best. Here is some of my favorites... Averse Sefira- Battle's Clarion Satyricon-Nemesis Divina Sigh-Scorn Defeat Absu-Third Storm of Cythraul Darkthrone-Ravishing Grimness Gorgoroth-Antichrist Immortal-Battles In The North Emperor-Anthems To the Welkin at Dusk Lord Belial-Enter the Moonlight Gate Sacramentum-The Coming of Chaos Enslaved-Frost Celtic Frost-Morbid Tales Ved Buens Ende-Written In Waters Destroyer 666-Phoenix Rising Dodheimsgard-Monumental Possession Thorns-Thorns Bal sagoth- A black moon broods over Lemuria Burzum-Det Som Engang Var Ulver-Nattens Madrigal Anaal Nathrakh-Codex Necro

Hey again Wyatt. Hope you're well. There are so many classic black metal records and but my favourite is Dark Medieval Times

Hey great video! I was wondering based on your #1 if you have heard/have an opinion of these: Teurgia -- With True Faith and Caladan Brood -- Echoes of Battle. I think neither band has done anything since about 2013 but both of these, especially the latter, have a real medieval/fantasy sound that your #1 here evokes.

Haha ive guessing 1 and 2, only i had the other way around man😂 great list man, and yeah quarantine is fucking boring, im in it already 1 month and 1 week, was bored made 1 hour tape collection video😂

I don’t have favorite albums but my favorite artists or bands would be: 1. Xasthur 2. Leviathan 3. Silencer 4. Sadness 5. Burzum 6. Emit 7. Damaar 8. Shining 9. Dark Throne 10. Thy Light

This channel slaps, love your content. 1. Svartidaudi - Flesh Cathedral 2. De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas - Mayhem 3. Filosofem - Burzum 4. Those of the Unlight - Marduk 5. A Blaze in the Northern Sky - Darkthrone 6. Vexovoid - Portal 7. Ultha - Pain Cleanses Every Doubt 8. Ondskapt - Dodens Evangelium 9. Taake - Norega Vaapen 10. Godseed - Live at Wacken

ever hear of Sigrblot? they are awesome and the vocals are my favorite, they only have one album and a split with Grand Belials key which is one of my fav BM bands

You ought to do a redo of your all-time favorite albums.

Just gonna drop a couple of suggestions Kat - Oddech Wymarłych Światów (proto black metal) Mortuary Drape - All the witches dance (proto black metal) Necrodeath - Mater of all evil (pretty known but, anyway...) Windir- 1184 (if you listen to BM you should know this album) Urfaust - Apparitions (not exactly pure black metal, but the first half of this lp is amazing) Sarkrista - Summoners of the Serpents Wrath Cultes des Ghoules - Häxan (pretty known, I think...)

This list is amazing dude, also you gonna do a tattoo related video, seems you’ve had a few new additions

i def agree with you that Paracletus and All The Dread Magnificence Of Perversity are 2 of the greatest albums of all time... also glad to see you place Bethlehem so high, though Dark Metal is the album for my money. Ulver and The Codex Necro, all the fucking way. Super sick that you're wearing that Portal t-shirt for this one too. I can never really commit to ranking masterpieces above one another so i will just blast a list of other GOATs, in no particularly order and certainly not exhaustive... The Angelic Process - Coma Waering Mord - Christendom Perished Ludicra - Another Great Love Song Beherit - Drawing Down The Moon Wolves in the Throne Room - Thrice Woven Enbilulugugal - We Hope You Fvkken Hate It Immortal - Sons of Northern Darkness Agalloch - Ashes Against The Grain Pandiscordian Necrogenesis - Outer Supernal & Eigenwelt Batushka - Panihida & Hospidi Mephorash - 1557: Rites of Nullification & Shem Ha Mephorash Faidra - Six Voices Inside Leviathan - Scar Sighted UADA - Devoid of Light & Cult of A Dying Sun Mgla - Exercises in Futility Merci for recommending Master's Hammer... don't know how i've lived without it...

Awesome video. Do death metal next! Please:-))

Being a bit of BM newbie, I find myself listening to less traditional BM. As I've mentioned in another comment, I am extremely high on Ulver's Bergtatt. Burzums Filosofem. Dissection- SOTLB is another favorite of mine. Some of my favorites that either were mentioned or mentioned rarely: Altar of Plagues - Mammal Agalloch - The Mantle & AATG Alcest - Le Secret (EP) White Ward - Futility Report Panopticon - Autumn Eternal And pretty much anything by MGLA, Deathspell Omega, Blut Aus Nord, Ruins of Beverast. And a few more: Weakling - Dead As Dreams Negura Bunget - Om Minenwerfer - Alpenpasse Bekëth Nexëhmü - De svarta riterna Drudkh - Autumn Aurora Nagelfar - Virus West Midnight Odyssey's - SOSF & FFTAS Odraza - Rzeczom Peste Noire - la sanie... Portal - Outre Wolves in the Throne Room - Two Hunters And yes, I do realize many of these aren't primarily BM. I apologize in advance if Gazey sounding or too Atmospheric, tree hugging metal makes you nauseated.

find somebody that talks about you like Wyatt talks about Summoning Minas Morgul. i dont have a top five but here are some recs: 1 behemoth-Grom. the most overlooked behemoth album but also one of the best. 2 Flamen-furor Luane. some good medeival black metal 3 lathspell-Torn cold void. a pretty straight forward black metal with a thick sound and a killer bass sound. 4 Whoredom Rife-dommedagskvad. THE best Band out of the norwegian scene in the 2010's. dommedagskvad is a beast of a record. and their spilt with Taake is also very good. 5 Volahn-El tigre del sur. a short ep of a mix of some fish hooky riffs and atmosphereic western music. t

Great list. Nice to see Terra Tenebrosa, Abigor, and Bethlehem. Rainer Landfermann!!!!

Great tips! Gnaw their tongues is really interesting. By the way, did u ever listen to Messa? It's a recent Italian band from Venice, a crossover between doom and Jefferson airplane's grace slick maybe... with some Kate Bush.. I mean they are dark and interesting if u have time listen to them, their album Close is really good... look for some live show on RU-vid, live they give their best in my op.

You should also try Moonsorrow, Fintroll and Arkona (Krahm album is really awesome). Son of Nicolas Cage has (or had) a cool band named "Arsh Anubis". He had another band of symphonic black metal called "Eyes of Noctum", It's pretty sweet.

I've only been listening to black metal for 5 years or so, so I've got a pretty newbie list, but I can say the albums that have stuck with me the most were: 1. Absu - Tara 1. Nokturnal Mortum - The Voice of Steel (the newest addition and the only one on this list I don't own) 2. Immortal - At the Heart of Winter (the first BM album I really loved) 3. Woods of Desolation - Torn Beyond Reason (the first DSBM album I really loved) 4. Agalloch - The Mantle 5. Vvilderness - Devour the Sun 6. Darkthrone - A Blaze in the Northern Sky (the first BM album I bought) 7. Dark Funeral - Angelus Exuro pro Eternus 8. Leviathan - The Tenth Sub Level of Suicide 9. Inquisition - Obscure Verses for the Multiverse 10. Mgła - Exercises in Futility Like I said, a pretty newbie list, but I always come back to this channel to be exposed to new-to-me, obscure BM, so thank you Wyattxhim! Edit: I left this comment before I saw him mention The Voice of Steel. I'm glad I have at least one in common lol.

Nice video, I'm newer to black metal so I appreciate the recommendations. Here is my (uninformed) top 10 (in no specific order except for #1) 10. INRI - Sarcófago 9. Anno Domini - Tormentor (I know its technically a demo) 8. Hvis Lyset Tar Oss - Burzum 7. Morbid Visions - Sepultura 6. Enter the Moonlight Gate - Lord Belial 5. Diabolic Fullmoon Mysticism - Immortal 4. Blood Fire Death - Bathory 3. Storm of the Lights Bane - Dissection 2. Coagulating Darkness - Hellripper 1. A Blaze in the Northern Sky - Darkthrone

Summoning's album gives me nostalgic feelings because it reminds me so much of games like kyrandia and king's quest

Very hard to pick but some of my favorites are: 1. Dissection - Storm of the Lights bane 2. Sacramentum - Far away from the sun 3. Abigor - Verwüstung, Nachthymnen, Orkblut 4. Satyricon - Dark medival times 5. Kvist - For Kunsten Maa Vi Evig Vike and many many others :)
