Favorite black metal albums thread?
As soon as I'm done going through Morbid Angel's discography I'm taking my first plunge into Black Metal.
Wish me luck anons.

same
I'm mainly doing it to try out new genres and further from my past plebeian self
>>65242716
If you're going chronologically, a) I'm sorry and b) that's gonna be a fucking trip, depending on where you start with BM.
Which artist are you thinking of ingratiating yourself into the genre with?
>>65242832
At least if he starts early enough, he'll have a reasonably smooth transition into the style. The rougher sorts of first wave BM isn't that far removed from sloppy death metal or crust punk.
>>65242832
Well, starting with the second wave, I mean.
I've already gone through Bathory (fucking great) Venom (One good album, the rest is OK) HellHammer (good) and Sarcofago (Pretty good)
>>65242872
Absolutely, early Hellhammer ( I guess it's all early) and Bathory are what I'd recommend.
My perception is just a bit colored by DSO at the moment.
I've been awake for almost 24 hours and decided to finally listen to Fas for the first time.
There's... a lot to digest, but I like it a lot.
My all time favourite BM album
>>65242821
Xasthur is got me through a major time of depression in my life, mostly because it was nice knowing there is someone much more miserable than me out there
>>65242494
Immortal - at the heart of winter
Dissection - storm of the lights bane
Destroyer 666 - rise of the phoenix
Basically all the black metal I have. If anybody can recommend bm with non lo-fi production and vocals where you can hear the lyrics I would appreciate it.
>>65243914
Eyyyyyy
>>65243914
>and vocals where you can hear the lyrics
>black metal
stop
>Darkspace - III I
or
>Leviathan - 10th Sublevel of Suicide
>>65242821
WE DEM SADBOI
>>65244192
I apparently only like black metal when it is fused with other genres, especially thrash and death. I like Absu a lot but they are closer to thrash than black.
>>65244342
You ought to love Melechesh then.
>>65244368
Listening to Sphynx for the first time right now.
Me gusta.
Thanks anon

Same. I'd often listen to his albums on repeat when I was feeling incredibly low. He manages to create a sound that perfectly went with how I was feeling.

good taste
pic is probably my favorite

One of my favourites
Another terrific BM album.
This followed by Storm of the nights and Filsofem are my top 3

there are simply too many.
>>65247469
Recently picked up the ulver reissue on vinyl
>>65242494
Yeaaah
>>65243914
Skeletonwitch maybe
Also I - Between two worlds if you like ATHOW
>>65247498
the album is definitely fucking nice, but that whole vinyl reissue thing seemed more like a cashgrab to me.
>>65247533
Its never been released on vinyl apart from the original which are crazy hard and expensive to get
>>65247543
they did that vinyl boxset, which was supposed to be 'limited' and 'exclusive'. I mean it's nice to see it on vinyl again but the label's intentions are more than questionable
>>65247469
Do you listen to good black metal too or just this atmospheric garbage?
>>65247685
just the garbage m8. I'll leave the real metal to the real men like you.
The GOAT
>>65247722
Good attitude
>>65243914
>non lo-fi production and vocals where you can hear the lyrics
So you don't want black metal, you want modern garbage that is so far removed from the original meaning of the genre that it's basically its own steaming pile of shit?
>>65247737
did you like that cake?
>>65247685
>atmospheric garbage
There is some pretty good stuff but also a lot of narcissistic idiots who jerk themselves off to their 'so atmospheric and depressing' stuff.
'Real Black Metal' isn't much better in this regard though.
>>65247782
It's not about the people who listen to it, it's about the music itself. Atmosphere is a staple in black metal, but the atmosphere isn't meant to be depressing, enlightening or trandescending as so many shitty "progressive bands" lead you to believe, the goal of black metal was to make the rawest fucking shit and embody misanthropy, intolerance, hatred, grotesque bullshit and darknesswith the raw vocals and tremolo picking or riffs.
So many people misinterpret what makes albums like Transylvanian Hunger the best black metal album ever, so many people, even Emperor, didn't know what made Burzum such a great fucking artist, it's not just the atmosphere.
>>65247849
you seem way too invested into that whole thing m8.
try not giving that much of a fuck
>>65247849
>rawest fucking shit and embody misanthropy, intolerance, hatred, grotesque bullshit and darknesswith the raw vocals and tremolo picking or riffs.
You just described most of the punk I listen to (minus the screechy vocals).
>>65247730
Agreed. Although my favourite modern album is [spoiler]Teethed Glory and Injury[/spoiler]
>>65242821
The version that was on the split with leviathan was the best version of telepathic with the deceased imo
>>65244124
best immortal is best
>>65245728
>>65246410
+ The guys band who got me into black metal and made me stop giving a fuck about things
That's my teen angst speaking but I love werewolf
>>65248006
Aphonos tho
>>65242494
Why don't people talk about the other Emperor and Ihsahn solo albums? They are great as well
Prometheus is really underrated
>>65247956
TORN FROM MY BODY
A SIDE OF ME

>>65249402
>Why don't people talk about the other Emperor and Ihsahn solo albums? They are great as well
They are not black metal, this is a black metal thread.
>>65242494
All Enslaved albums, they are all great
Too many of the classics are favorites of mine, so here's a recent great album I can't stop listening to. It's so fucking great in its entirety.

>>65249666
>They are not black metal
What, they still have clear bm influence despite being more prog
>>65249666
damn right its a BM thread!
>>65249784
The early Emperor releases up to In the Nightside Eclipse are black metal, everything afterwards is symphonic music, not black metal.
>>65249801
Emperor is symphonic/progressive black metal dumbass
>>65249801
>progressive black metal is not black metal
>>65249862
Listen to the music before you make dumb statements like that, please.
You will realize that everything after As the Shadows Rise is not black metal.
>>65243914
>Storm of the light's bane
Absolute killer album
>>65249888
Right, it's not.
>>65249891
How about you, you literal nigger.
What mental gymnastics will you pull to say this isn't black metal?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4X6ZFm948XQ
>>65249921
Brief reminder that black metal subgenres are apparently not black metal anymore.
>implying this isnt the epitome of bm
>>65249947
Nice, you are right.
>>65249928
At this point they have had too much focus on the symphonic element to be considered black metal, it's not raw, the production is just shit.
>>65249979
>At this point they have had too much focus on the symphonic element to be considered black metal
Are you retarded? The song is comprised of black metal riffing, blastbeats, and shrieked vocals the entire way through, with symphonic elements over top.
>>65249979
2nd wave black metal is focused too much on tremolos and blast beats to be considered black metal.
>>65242878
I'd like to recommend, given what you have already listened to, that you start in the norwegian wave by listening to post-At The Heart Of Winter IMMORTAL (including the mentioned album), as it is really pleasing to the ear and even close to thrash metal.
After that, maybe DARKTHRONE and the first 4 albums of BURZUM (those 4 are particularly good and relevant to the genre), and EMPEROR. The importance of MAYHEM is that they started up the way back in the mids 80's , but I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to skip on them. De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas is definitely a good album, but in my opinion BURZUM and DARKTHRONE have better albums.
>>65242878
Just remember that low-fi is a meme, burzum is shit, DMDS wasn't that good and Emperor was the pinnacle of 2nd wave
>>65250845
nice meme
>>65251005
No memes.
Though Transylvanian Hunger is the pinnacle of the second wave, not Emperor.
>>65250845
>>65251016
dont ever reply to me unless you're contributing to the thread
I'm too bleh to think right now but this, pretty much all kpn's discography, twilight of the idols and gorgoroths 2010ish album, diapsiqours anti
>>65251063
>gorgoroths 2010ish album
Why not good Gorgoroth albums?
underrated
>>65251118
Nokturnal Mortum is one of my favorite bands, but that has to be one of their weakest releases, why this one? It lacks all kinds of intensity
>>65251128
I like it a lot for some reason
1. drawing down the moon
2. transilvanian hunger
3. meaningless leaning mess
4. torgeist - devoted To Satan
5. forest poetry
>>65251074
> Implying rebirth wasn't one of the best post-ghaal songs by them
plus the cd came with my first bm patch which is another reason why it's special to me.
>>65251118
>>65251128
Temnozor or graveland though?
>>65251162
havnt heard much Temnozor but Graveland is the shit
>>65251186

One of the members is the main guy in M8L8TH if you've heard of them
>>65251303
>M8L8TH
Not a fan, they went too buttrock in recent years
>>65251322
By the Black Wing was the album that I personally loved, so their early stuff, but I didn't mind their newer stuff
Yes really, no bait.
