For me it's: For the Loveless Martyre Paradise Saturn Veronika Basically Thomas AG Jensen could talk and growl over a car alarm and I'd put it on repeat. That guy is amazing. EDIT: After doing some snooping around on Metal Archives, I discovered that between 'Martyre' and 'Veronika' three of the six members left, and between 'Veronika' and 'Saturn' all members changed except for the singer! Admittedly, one of those changes was to bring the old bass player back from the 'Martyre' era, but that fundamentally means that on 'Saturn in Ascension' it was Thomas with an entirely different band from the group that recorded the previous album. And of the 'classic line-up' that recorded the first three releases, only Thomas and the returning bass player remain. Doesn't mean the music has to suck (it doesn't, it's awesome), but it's an interesting dynamic.

I can get behind that ranking scheme. Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk

Welcome, I don't think we've ever had a member from Iran before. I used to have a friend in Turkey that was into metal, but we have lost contact. Hopefully your trip goes well, it looks like a beautiful country. Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk

Black metal's relationship with punk goes back to the beginning. Most bands don't take a heavy influence from it, but it's definitely noticeable as far back as Venom and Celtic Frost. I tend to dig that riffing approach with lots of attitude as well. Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk

I'm not sure if I'm describing this correctly but I like punk-ish(or thrashy) sounding Black Metal. Definitely love first wave. As far as second wave I dig Krypt, Darkthrone, Carpathian Forest, Gorgoroth all of which to me sound punk and or thrash influenced. Definitely appreciate atmospheric sounds but I tend to reach for Funeral Doom when I'm feeling that vibe.
