Hi ?

I can only pick 3? How do I narrow that down? I'd say Dissection are the top, I love their sense of melody and their more technical mindset. There are other albums I like more but that collection of The Somberlain and Where Dead Angels Lie epitomise melodic black metal for me. 2nd I can't go past Bathory. Those first four albums were hugely influential on what BM would become and set up the Viking Metal explosion as well. I can't justify putting them at the top because their viking metal sound eclipses the BM stuff for me. 3rd is Bethlehem. I'm a huge doom metal fan, and I love when doom and black metal cross over, Bethlehem did it brilliantly with Dark Metal before pioneering the DSBM sound. I'll admit that style is not my favourite but I enjoy the way Bethlehem do it.

Of course, its hard to pick so few, but it makes you think which are your real favourites, I have also a lot favourites but can easly pick top 3 of them. From Doom Metal, I only know early Paradise Lost, I dont know if you can list them on your Doom Metal list, but anyways I prefer their more recent albums. I will check bands you listed, Im always curious about this which I didnt knew before. 

Alright, everyone is posting they top 20 bands, so am I, but I will write very shortly with no description since these bands are rather well known (maybe not all), and these are my current favourites, but of course Im discovering new bands often :

20. Korn (its here only because of nostalgia - it was first ever metal band I have listened to when I was 15, with Linkin Park at the time, although now Im skipping that) - Follow The Leader / Untitled

19. Belphegor - Conjuring The Dead / Totenritual

18. Cannibal Corpse - Red Before Black 

17. Morbid Angel - Kingdoms Disdained / Domination

16. Satyricon - Now, Diabolical 

15. Decapitated - Anticult 

14. System Of A Down - Every Album, Period 

13. Gorgoroth - Instinctus Bestialis 

12. Made Of Hate (if you never heard of it its Melodic Death Metal, something to chill rather, some Pirate Themes also) - Bullet In Your Head 

11. Tsjuder - Desert Northern Hell

10. FrontSide - Zmartwychwstanie

9. Deicide - Overtures Of Blasphemy

8. Hate - Crusade Zero

7. Burzum - Filisofem 

6. Paradise Lost - Medusa 

5. Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas

4. Dimmu Borgir - Eonian

3. Behemoth - The Satanist / Evangelion 

2. Darkthrone - Every album has one of my favourite tracks, really hard to choose 

1. Bloodbath - Nightmares Made Flesh / The Arrow Of Satan Is Drawn 

New album of Dark Throne "Old Star" will be released 31 st May this year. Anyone is hyped for this one?

It's worth noting that post is 7 years old. Understandably my tastes have changed a great deal it that time and so the criteria set out there no longer apply. On top of that this thread currently serves as a resource for anyone interested in BM to get a feel for the diverse range of sounds that label encompasses.

You are right, I didnt look at the date. So, what are your 3 main bands right now? Curiosity.

as with death metal I've been on a self imposed exile from the realms of black metal for some time now (sold all the bm I had except for Venom) looking for something complex, other then that it must be coherent, nothing irritates me more then awesome musicianship ruined by vocals so extreme you can't make out what's being said, any suggestions you guys can give would be greatly appreciated

Avertia -  For beggining "Trollmannen" track 

Tsjuder - For beggining "Mouth Of Madness" track 

Good afternoon everyone, I want to introduce myself. Im a Pharmacist from Poland and I absolutely love Black and Death Metal. I came here to find more people who are deeply connected with metal music - like me - and talk and discuss about different subjects to learn about the community.

? My favourite bands are :

Dark Throne, Mayhem, Burzum, Bloodbath, Behemoth, Dimmu Borgir but I like also : Tsjuder, Avertia, Deicide and a lot more (Im not focused only for some bands I love to discover new). 

Im sorry, I didnt realised that Im in wrong section. Thank you for this warning. 

Hi, Im new ? I just wanted to ask if anyone subscribes to Thulean Perspective Channel on YouTube which is Varg Vikernes Channel. If yes, then what you think about his Channel? I found his black metal history episodes extremely interesting. If you didnt knew about this Channel, then feel welcome ?
