The best BLACK METAL Bands of all time (according to YOU guys) 

Cool!

Milyen meglepő...

Batory was Polish

just came here to say this

@@Blacksun1984 XD

This.

Yes

Yes! With hearts towards none is just as good

On the other hand, they barely play old songs live...

It's quite surprising how this became a classic of some sort

It's for the connaisseur!

It is not a black metal))) But still this is the one of the best Bathory's albums as for me. I Love "Dies Irae" and "Blood fire death". This songs are pure epickness. For black metal better suits the 3rd album - Under the sign of Black Mark. It gas the right atmosphere and sound.

@@Sergey_Matskevich_82 Blood fire death is very much black metal. It's the uniting album between black and viking metalheads.

@@rdmoonie sounds more like thrash metal for me. Some riffs are very similar to ...and justice for all...

@@Sergey_Matskevich_82 i can agree on it sounding like thrash metal, but like early black metal did too. it's still black metal. both and justice and blood fire death are definitely not under the same sub-genre

When he said that he never got into Dissection I was like whaaat. I think Dissection embodies the spirit of metal as a hole very well and Jon was a true metalhead. But of course not all people will like the same things.

@@Kaloian_Ivanov yeah i could never get into dissection either for some reason

I love SOTLB. It is to Black Metal what Master of Puppets is to Thrash.

@@lightyagami1752, YES!

The story behind Jon Nödtveidt is interesting.

Me too

It should be Pentagram is black metal anthem

@@teo6685 To me personally Under The Sign Of Hell is on my top 10 black metal albums.

@@nihilist1680 yeah that album is also awesome 9. Twilight of the idols 8. Ad majorem sathanas gloriam 7. Destroyer 6. Incipit satan 5. Antichrist 4. Instinctus bestialis 3. Quantos possunt... 2. Under the sign of hell 1. Pentagram Yeah i hate gaahl and king ov hell period

@@teo6685 I'd rank their albums like this: 1. Under The Sign Of Hell 2. Antichrist 3. Pentagram 4. Quantos Possunt.. 5. Incipit Satan 6. Instinctus Bestialis And everything else is sh*t in my opinion.

You first and foremost always recommend Dunkelheit to a non Black Metalhead, that's it.

In the Nightside Eclipse wasn’t my first black metal album (that honor goes to Bergtatt), but it was THE album to cement my love for the genre. In many ways it hasn’t been topped, though Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk is at least its equal (though it’s a tad more difficult for beginners).

And you gotta admire the mixture between raw black metal screeches and the smart way of arranging the songs. It's almost a classical composition at times and you can hear that there's some musicianship and expertise though it was a pretty straight forward record. My first entry was typically cradle of filth and dimmu borgir (im not sure what my first real encounter with black metal was..I think dark fortress? ). It was in 2000 when black metal got popular again and cradle released "her ghost in the fog" on a promo disc. I don't care about the naysayers. It was a time where metal got exciting and intriguing again and introduced more fans like me. You could feel that something wicked was about to burst. The death metal and black metal community was thirsty for extreme metal again and the vibe was already there. It was electrifying. And suddenly everyone dropped their albums. And each one was better than the other! Dark funeral, Nattefrost, enslaved, Gorgoroth,... Everyone released more albums and it all felt like it was at its peak again. It sounded like the third wave of black metal incoming, storming the metal community with awesome releases. It felt like the new blood worshipped the old classics but also transformed into something different, with some fresh air of unusual musicality. I'm 35 now and I miss those days. It felt like you grabbed the holy grail of extreme metal and wanted to get more and more extreme with every new band youve found.

It was also kinda a "mid-fi" black metal album among the other toaster recordings. They poured a bit more into making it sound as tight as they could, and it shows.

This and Anthems are my favs

I guess Storm of the Light's Bane came from another world. The music is so great and so majestic... Jon was a genius

@@Johnjohnlamenace Jon, Peter, Johan and Ole did a great work in the Storm of the Light's.

Tbh even though some mayhem songs are damn good they really just gained popularity because of the whole euronymous "very bad evil dude" thing and the whole satanic things they did including their plan of making a "metal army" and lets not forget the histories everybody knows at this point of dead's suicide and euronymou's murder and the deal with cooking pelle's brain bits and giving parts of his skull to "trve" bands Burzum on the other hand it's very impresive to see that even in jail Varg managed to put stuff together and make a pretty descent music list but i also think that part of his success is in part to the whole deal with edgelords who followed him because he also supported the whole "evil antichristian" movement and was/is (not sure if he still is) a racist and at some point a straight up nazi supporter but i won't deny his material is definitely pretty good music to listen regardless of his ideologies

Varg's still jealously of Euronymous. Lol

Gay. Iron Maiden was released the same day I was born and you don´t hear me say shit about it. Same day Judas Priest released British Steel.

@@alvarogabrielaguirregarin3933no one cares boomer

This would be pretty cool actually. Every regional scene has unique traits, even if only minor.

I also like the Demos of Thy Serpent. Overall a great band!

yo can you show that list?

yeah, show the list bro

What do you think of Darkthrone’s Arctic Thunder?

Danke!

@Dragon Ball fans can't read yes

Was wondering where are satyricon in this

Satyricon sucks…

Mgla and Kreigsmaschine are easily my favourite black metal bands of all time, but Mork also has some mind- blowing riffage, definitely agree

Damn either your gf got bankrupt after buying it or she was extremely lucky to find the one with the Norsk Arsik Black Metal cover

Too bad Ulver only produced 2 Black Metal albums.

@@Yr_218 I included Kveldssanger as black metal album too. And I am pretty sure that I am not the only one.

It's entry level black metal, poser black metal like Dimmu Borgir or Behemoth.

@XRay Gamer you could say those things about the mentioned band's later material but not their early ones. In what world is The Shadowthrone, For All Tid, and Dark Medieval Times poser metal?

@@arhaanchettri95 my logic: marduk is a poser band, satyricon is bigger than marduk -> satyricon is a poser band. But tbh, the list of poser bands contains quite a few: The true fucked up shitty trinity of poser bands(Dimmu Borgir, Behemoth, Cradle of Filth), the norwegian big 5(Mayhem, Burzum, Darkthrone, Emperor, Immortal), Marduk, Dissection, Bathory(probably the big 3 of sweden) and some random bands from diffrent subgenres: Taake, Carpathian Forest, Ulver, Mgla, Bathuska, Enslaved, Winterfylleth, carach Angren, Windir, Deathspell Omega, Watain, Agalloch, any blackgaze band(you know, Alcest and Deafheaven shit), the big 4 of atmo black(WITTR, Drudkh, Summoning and Ruins of Beverast) and the mentioned Satyricon. I think i missed quite a few poser bands Edit: forgot about the big 3 of dsbm: Leviatham(not really dsbm tho), Xasthur and Silencer

@@xraygamer9895 what do you mean by Marduk is a poser band? Makes no sense

Maybe because the Satyricon have a good clean sound and many money))) When I was a kid - we thought that Cradle of filth is black metal band and it's gloom and evil)))

I have always thougth those bands to be boring but 80 - 90 music isnt so much off my thing.. From Chezch id much rather listen Cult Of Fire or even Ador Dorath, though Ador Dorath prob isnt black metal but the early albums off their is a guilty pleasure off my. Mainly only cause I like the voice off the female singer.

Yeah ..Masters Hammer /l^|\

I'm from the states and love Root and Masters Hammer, Törr as well. I think there is like 500 of us lol.

@@HudsonValleyVHS nice, i recommend Stíny plamenů, Mnich, Dark Seal or Cult of Fire for some more czech black metal madness 😊

and what about legendary Trollech? :-) We dont have much good or famous black metal bands here in Czech. Our Polish neighbors are better off in black metal which is interesting because they are very religious nation.

You saw dark throne live in concert ?

@@d_walsh yes. 1996

I would go with unhallowed, it just has that unrelenting black metal power to it. You can't not just bang out to that song.

Good idea bro

yeah there are so many great bands

Judas Iscariot =)

Aarsland

Hypothermia is criminally underrated

Scott is so talented and not only just in black metal!

That would be surprising

@@Farvann Also in IT here.

same here

Another one here

Yeah, me kinda too

Agree about emperor, never got into darkthrone because of their production (strangely enough I love behexen though). Would also have loved to see the somberlain here, I personally like it more than storm of the light's bane because of the sound and more accoustic parts

It's because Farvann's audience likes more raw underground stuff

Dark funeral would really be the only one who would have a chance here since they still sound black metal although they're that big, behemoth is too much death metal and dimmu borgir is just dimmu borgir

Hell yeaaa dude!

That is a phenomenal album

@@slayde7740 thanks mate. Just got into them a few months ago and HOLY FUCK!!! They are one of the most legendary bands that I've ever stumbled across.

@@Sub_2_SKARGUT_on_Odysee agreed, i just started listening to them a few weeks ago and my mind is thoroughly blown. I would also recommend Kroda if you like Nokturnal Mortums style

@@slayde7740 thanks I think I've stumbled across kroda on Kilkim Zaibu's channel. I'll give em a proper shot.

@@Sub_2_SKARGUT_on_Odysee hell yeah, i would recommend their album Fimbulwinter

Good list. There is allot of Underground stuff. Of course it should stay underground in my opinion. Because this is the magic and mystic part of Black Metal.

@@CultOfSol777 Yeah you're right

thanks

Summoning is great! Never listened to Caladan Brood though

@@Farvann They only have one album though, which is a shame, but it's absolutely fantastic and full of pleasure nonetheless.

Yes and yes!!! Both exceptional bands. I don't usually self-promote on other channels in the threads, but I also want to bring up the band Eldarion (I am a member of that band) which is also heavily in the vein of Summoning and Caladan Brood, check it out when you get a chance.

@@DJTheMetalheadMercenary hey mate just heard your full album "gondolin" (sorry if spelt wrong 🥴) it's absolutely amazing, great atmosphere and vibe 🍻

@@theoc9203 Thanks!!! Glad you liked it, thanks for checking it out 🍻

Yes, this band has released 6 groundbreaking albums one after the other, absolutely incredible, that's more than any other black metal band that ever existed ! One of the best metal band ever IMO, hail Bathory!

Agry. I am not BM fan. But I love Bathory. First 2 albums are great. Blood Fire Death, Hammerheart Twilight of the gods,, Blood on Ice, Nordland 1&2 are pure atmospheric alltime epick. Destroyer of words is also have very good songs such as Lake of fire, title song, Ode and Pestilence.

Giving Bathory the love and appreciation it deserves. \m/

dimmu borgir? pls

@@georgecostan3248 Grew up with them. Celtic Frost is awesome as well

@@jelefaz and Merciful Fate and Tormentor are awesome as well. People like the Norwegian early scene more than their blatant influences for some reason.

Welcome on board!

Ja ich bin ja auch Deutscher

@@Farvann nice
