11.12.10 | I doubt you can call Paracletus the most astonishing black metal release in such a short period of time. And that Behemoth album is most definitely death metal. |
Spec
11.12.10 | Hawks knows whats up. |
Oceans
11.12.10 | Paracletus is amazing, and "unblack metal"?? |
DeafMetal
11.12.10 | A few awesome albums on here, but lots of shit too. Under The Sign Of Hell is definitely not
Gorgoroth's best album though. |
Spec
11.12.10 | Un-black metal is a joke. Playing black metal doesn't mean you have to be satanic. |
xfearbefore
11.12.10 | Mercyful Fate is black metal? |
Hawks
11.12.10 | Unblack metal is fucking retarded, but I'm not getting into that again. |
Spec
11.12.10 | I'm a Christian myself and still don't believe they need to separate the genre. |
DeafMetal
11.12.10 | They definitely don't need to seperate the genre. Look at bands like Wolves In The Throne Room. Lyrics aren't about satan, but they don't call themselves Unaffiliated Black Metal. |
SCREAM!
11.12.10 | WiTTR don't play pure BM though.
All bands that play the straight up BM sound seem to be related somewhat to satanism (other than the unblack bands obvs which is where the title came from). Correct me if im wrong i could very easily be forgetting bands in the slew of BM out there |
Dryden
11.12.10 | Melissa and Drawing Down The Moon fuck yes |
TheSpirit
11.12.10 | orthodox black metal |
Deviant.
11.12.10 | "Inspired by Nothing But Black Metal November"
Mo's are so krieg |
DeafMetal
11.13.10 | SCREAM: They don't play traditional black metal, but they are pure black metal. |
TheSpirit
11.13.10 | what, no they don't |
DeafMetal
11.13.10 | How don't they? Ambient black metal isn't considered black metal? |
SCREAM!
11.13.10 | "SCREAM: They don't play traditional black metal, but they are pure black metal."
lets not start splitting hairs here.
Ambient BM is BM yes but what people have in mind with "pure bm" is the no frills, tremolo/blast beat/shrieking stuff. Like darkthrone in the early 90's |
Athom
11.13.10 | you should listen to some old ulver, drudkh (not the new one), and paysage d'hiver and prepare for your mind to be blown. |
Wizard
11.13.10 | DeafMetal obviously speaks from his username on this subject. Soooooooooooo many better bm albums missing from this list. |
DeafMetal
11.13.10 | SCREAM: Yeah, I hear you.
New Deathspell really fucking rules too. |
DeafMetal
11.13.10 | Wiz: :( |
Wizard
11.13.10 | Shoegaze/ Black Metal. That's what I was driving at! |
DeafMetal
11.13.10 | The new Krieg album ain't getting enough credit. |
Dryden
11.13.10 | lol |
Wizard
11.13.10 | Because it isn't very good. Too bad to, the guy from Leviathan should have stuck to his guns with his solo project. |
FadeToBlack
11.13.10 | yah leviathan was the shit
although i bet u like Massive Conspiracy best fag |
Hawks
11.13.10 | Thats because Massive Conspiracy Against All Life is awesome! But I'm actually listening to The Tenth Sub-Level of Suicide right now. |
DeafMetal
11.13.10 | Tenth Level is the best. |
rasputin
11.13.10 | DeafMetal is actually right.
'lets not start splitting hairs here. Ambient BM is BM yes but what people have in mind with "pure bm" is the no frills, tremolo/blast beat/shrieking stuff. Like darkthrone in the early 90's'
have you even listened to transilvanian hunger? it's far and away more atmospheric and 'ambient' than anything wittr have put out |
DeafMetal
11.13.10 | Burzum too. |
rasputin
11.13.10 | what scream is incorrectly referring to is orthodox black metal, which is not interchangeable with the loose term 'pure black metal' |
Ovrot
11.13.10 | Comment for 20 made me lol |
Bitchfork
11.13.10 | Sigh
Imaginary Soniscapes
And moving from classics to contempory: the first Japanese black metal band
um
lol at them being the first japanese black metal band
and album is so fucking bad its like an aneurysm
"Taake, now infamous for being "that band who are banned in Germany""
omg so kvlt no one's ever been banned in europe b4!1!1!!! |
qwe3
11.13.10 | 20 is death metal also its description is the dumbest thing i've read in a long time |
Wizard
11.13.10 | "have you even listened to transilvanian hunger? it's far and away more atmospheric and 'ambient' than anything wittr have put out"
I'm so lost on this one rasputin hahahahaha. I agree with the atmosphere but ambience? And I see where DeafMetal is coming from now that you've made me reread his comment. My apologies Deaf. |
DeafMetal
11.13.10 | No worries man. Thanks for the translation rasp. |
wyankeif1337
11.13.10 | Awesome list, been trying to get into this genre. |
Bitchfork
11.13.10 | 30 is such shit |
BradMan
11.13.10 | Generic list, but where the hell is Emperor? |
Bitchfork
11.13.10 | I'm not such a big fan of Emperor. The strings really bother me for whatever reason. |
rasputin
11.14.10 | 'I'm so lost on this one rasputin hahahahaha. I agree with the atmosphere but ambience? And I see where DeafMetal is coming from now that you've made me reread his comment. My apologies Deaf.'
i used quotation marks to imply it was a loose term. wittr aren't properly 'ambient' either, so i still stand by my point. i guess proper ambient black metal would be something like paysage's ambient tracks on black metal albums (and ambient passages in black metal songs) |
Crysis
11.14.10 | 30 fucking sucks |
ratowitz
11.28.10 | There is no such thing as "unblack metal". Not only is that an oxymoron but it's fucking retarded to label a band as such.
And yeah, Behemoth is like old-school Darkthrone. Influenced by Black Metal but playing mainly Death Metal. Corpse paint doesn't make you black metal because fucking Kiss and ICP wear corpse paint. |
BallsToTheWall
11.28.10 | 30 is the worst album ever. |
foreverendeared
11.28.10 | why the fuck do people insist on putting Imaginary Soniscape on black metal lists. it's not fucking black metal. I love the shit out of it, but it's NOT black metal |
Bitchfork
11.29.10 | because sigh used to be all about the bm and people assume that the metal traits that are on that are black metal when they're just shit. |

10.11.11 | list should have ended after 5 |
foxblood
10.11.11 | it's not possible to make an acceptable black metal list unless you're AngelofDeath

10.11.11 | i cant help but to notice just how fucking dumb 28's motto sounds |
SatansPlayground
10.11.11 | the guy who made this list clearly has at least a mild case of retardation its not a severe case because there are a few essentials here |
