Best of Black Metal
in no real order, just my favorite black metal records |
1 | | Mare Cognitum Luminiferous Aether
incredible atmosphere and riffs |
2 | | Leviathan Scar Sighted
strange, creepy and experimental |
3 | | Lurker Of Chalice Lurker Of Chalice
extremely diverse mix of black, ambient, doom and more. |
4 | | Aquilus Griseus
a true masterpiece, one of the only 18 albums i have ever given a 10/10 to. |
5 | | Alrakis Echoes From Eta Carinae
Not for everyone, but i really like this slow burner of a song. |
6 | | Summoning Oath Bound
featuring their (imo) best song, land of the dead, this albums is an atmospheric giant of an album |
7 | | Summoning Old Mornings Dawn
2nd favorite summoning album, extremely well made. |
8 | | Summoning Stronghold
last summoning album for this list, although almost all of their albums could make it though. Great, epic sound on this one. |
9 | | Dodecahedron Kwintessens
a wild ride, dodecahedron comes from the deathspell omega camp of craziness and it works very well |
10 | | Agalloch The Mantle
masterpiece, another 10/10 for me |
11 | | Agalloch Ashes Against the Grain
a fantastic and fun followup to the mantle |
12 | | Mgla Exercises in Futility
one of the best bm albums of the 2010s imo |
13 | | Emperor In the Nightside Eclipse
no explanation needed |
14 | | Emperor Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk
same as above |
15 | | Midnight Odyssey Funerals from the Astral Sphere
awesome production and a great spacey feel, this album is super long but worth it. |
16 | | Oranssi Pazuzu Värähtelijä
weird, dissonant and very, very good. |
17 | | Khonsu The Xun Protectorate
awesome synthy scifi themed bm, has very nice sounding production and songwriting. Perfect for those not used to the typical black metal happenings. |
18 | | Ulver Bergtatt - Et eeventyr i 5 capitler
Classic Masterpiece, great clean singing and riffs. *almost* perfect to me. |
19 | | Skyforest Unity
very uplifting post/symphonic black metal |
20 | | Obsidian Gate The Nightspectral Voyage
Very cheesy but very good symphonic BM |
21 | | Mesarthim The Great Filter
a great 21 minute trek through space and time. |
22 | | Mesarthim The Density Parameter
who knew trance electronics would work so well with black metal? |
23 | | Burzum Filosofem
classic album |
24 | | Bathory Blood Fire Death

28 | | Darkthrone A Blaze in the Northern Sky |
