dissections “the somberlain” is such a magical album

I’m really surprised you, and no one in the comments, had listed satanic Warmaster. The album ‘carelian satanist madness’ is my personal all time favorite black metal album, it is just the catchiest riffs you’ve ever heard one after another, highly recommend anyone reading this checks it out.

I'm glad Mysticun made your list

Nice list! I can't watch the whole thing now but I can already see that it includes some of my favourite ones as well. If you're into atmospheric black metal I highly recommend checking out Wędrujący Wiatr. The two albums they released are just amazing.

Needed something to watch while I finish my curry, thankfully Questy has come up with the goods

My favorite black metal record is transilvanian hunger. Hasn’t really ever changed, but I go back and forth between that one and Panzerfaust

Will just mention some albums that would make into my top 50: Cloak-The burning dawn Caladan Brood- Echoes of battle Sargeist-Let the Devil In Spectral Wound-Infernal Decadence Immortal-At the Heart of the Winter Lord Belial-Enter the Moonlight Gate The Kryptik-Behold Fortress Inferno Summoning-Minas Morgul Judas Iscariot- Heaven in Flames Gorgoroth-Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam Forteresse - Thèmes Pour la Rébellion Malum-Legion Evilfeast - Wintermoon Enchantment Dark Funeral-The Secrets of The Black Arts Havukruunu - Uinuos Syömein Sota Borknagar-Borknagar Imperium Dekadenz- Dimmu Borgir- Entrhone Darkness Triumphant Behemoth-And the Forests Dream Eternally/The Satanist

Nice list! Some more bands to check out in case you haven't heard of them yet; Krallice, Sühnopfer, Ash Borer, Altar Of Plagues, Yellow Eyes

Amazing video as always, you should definitely check out “Necrocosmo: Nocturnal Kali Yuga” by Astarium since i see you like your cosmic black metal. Strain of Alastor is such an amazing track

Cladan Brood are actually singing about the fantasy Book Series: Malazan Book Of The Fallen by Steven Erikson (Caladan Brood is a character in the series I think) I haven‘t read it yet, but its supposed to be rly good!

Potestas Magicum Diabolia by Asagraum would make my list probably. I am trying to get more into black metal, and they are one of the more recent bands I’ve checked out. Both albums are great!

Immortal's At the Heart of Winter is up there for me, I don't know enough black metal to make a full list. But I know that album is going to be up there for me lol

Great watch. Are you into dungeon synth at all? If you are check out the new Xasthur collaboration with Casket Of Dreams.

I would have Drapsnatt, Svartidaudi, Infestus, Battle Dagorath, Darchon, Exiled From Light, None, Thy Light, Wolves in the Throne Room, Limbonic Art and Epheles on mine, so quite a bit different. Agree on Xasthur, Emperor, Bathory, Darkspace, Leviathan, Summoning, and Caladan Brood though.

Pretty much a top 30 without repeats. I actually think the repeats would make it 10 times harder.

The song "Wild Autumn Wind" by Caladan Brood is the entire reason I started listening to this style again. From there I discovered GallowBraid, Sojourner, Heretoir, Enisum, Vukari, Choria, Can Bardd and many others in this epic atmospheric black metal genre. 1.Caladan Brood- Echoes of Battle 2.Gallowbraid- Ashen Eidolon 3.Sojourner- Empires of Ash 4.Vvilderness- Devour the Sun (Instrumental) 5.Heretoir - The Circle 6.Enisum- Arpitanian Lands 7.Vukari- aevum 8.Choria- Black Secret Beyond 9.Can Bardd - The Last Rain 10. Ninkharsag - Blood of Celestial Kings

I’ve been meaning to listen to black metal. So far, mayhem’s first album, and into the night side eclipse. I’ve tried Transylvanian hunger but I was tired and fell asleep

Finally, black metal! 🤘

I don't have time to think of/write a list, but 'Welcome My Last Chapter' by Vinterland is my favourite. The only thing the album lacks is Necrolord's iconic artwork.

Just a list of black metal that got me thru the years! 1. Old man's child pagan prosperity 2. Satyricon Nemesis Divina 3. Aborym Kali Yuga Bizarre 4. Celebratum Mirrored Revelation 5. Arcturus Asper Hymms Symfonia 6. Marduk World Funeral 7. The Kovenent Times Before light original 8. Bal sagoth Black Moods Brood over Lemuria 9. Creeping Funeral Crawl 10. Frostmoon Tordenkreg. Just a few didnt mention most of the godfathers of black metal because he mentioned a bunch in this video. But this is a good place to hunt for more tunes rock on!

Man this dude is way to wholesome isn't he?

My top 10, 10. Vile Luxury (2018) - Imperial Triumphant 9. Autumn Aurora (2004) - Drudkh 8. Noregs Vaapen (2011) - Taake 7. 1184 (2002) - Windir 6. Sunbather (2013) - Deafheaven 5.

Damn I just saw this and I have to go to bed😭😭watching this asap in the morning🤘🤘😈😈 love the channel keep it up🔪🔪🔪🔊🔊🤘

Great list, too many amazing albums to fit in a top 50, even great bands were left out like Immortal, Mgla, Blut Aus Nord, Craft, Taake, Ungfell, Satyricon, Evilfeast, Forteresse, Moonsorrow, Horn, Horna, Melechesh, Midnight Odyssey, Obsequiae, Sacramentum, Rotting Christ, Sargeist.....I could never do it

Under the Sign of Hell by Gorgoroth is peak black metal for me.

This is my top 10 list. I don't know enough bands or albums to make it more diverse, but this one is by now from a newbie standpoint. Can you suggest me albums that you guys think are among the best in the genre? I'm not much into the folky and symphonic side of bm, neither the extra raw bad quality sounding screaming shit. 1. Burzum - Debut 2. Esoctrillihum - Dy'th Requiem (I really dig this cosmic bm album, if you didn't listen to it you should definitely check it out!) 3. Enslaved - Vikingligr Veldi 4. Bathory - Blood Fire Death 5. Burzum - Det Som Engang Var 6. Darkthrone - Panzerfaust 7. Agalloch - The Mantle 8. MGLA- Exercises in Futility 9. Shining - V Halmsted 10. Cradle of filth - Vempire (going here because it has some black metal on the edges and it's a masterpiece of an album).

November might be the 11th month but it's the best month.

I know Jake from Canadian Brood and Gallowbraid. He works in a local bar here in Salt Lake, anyways he told me he’s working on another Gallowbraid record.

I’m surprised not to see Mgla in the list

MGLA - Exercises in Futility its just a freaking master piece. Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss its also a masterpiece. Darkthrone - Transylvanian Hunger, also a masterpiece. And to give love to the father of all, Bathory - The Return, what a masterpiece too.
