! - BLACK METAL THREAD - !

I've been thinking about old abandoned metal forums of the early 2000's a lot lately... I thought I'd make a proper thread in the same vein as those old forums - please treat this as such.

I want this thread to be about anything black metal related you have on your mind that you'd like to share or rant about. 
Saw a cool band live? Found a hidden gem? Got some new stuff in your physical collection? Know weird trivia or lore about an obscure band? Want to worship the classics? Talk about it here!

 If you don't know what to talk about - tell me about an album or release that's been stuck in your head lately and why.

Dark ambient and dungeon synth is also welcome here. Absolutely NO "keller" or "tanzel".

If this thread ever gets enough attention I will use it as a hub to link to other related threads

The drumming on this is on point, esp the main groove and when he played with the high-hats :)

@GillFilmReviews21 ohhh yeah I don't know Wounded Masquerade too well but I remember my boyfriend showing me "I Ruin Everything" and that shit's pretty solid depressive.

I gotta say Tyrant's first release is stuck in my head like a tick man, this is some proper symphonic black metal. It just isn't made like this anymore. There's not a single bad track. I cannot think of a single bad thing about this (except for the blownout first seconds lol, I thought my pc was crashing at first)

I'm so upset there's no proper rereleases of this with the original artwork, but from what I've been told the original members are hard to get a hold of. I gotta bootleg it for myself until I find an original tape I guess..

ever since konflict became one of my favorite projects, ive been really getting into the black/death/war metal scene in india/sri-lanka - stuff like kapala, genocide shrines, tetragrammacide, etc. and lately this album has been stuck in my mind. gotta start collecting stuff from these guys

war metal is a very interesting genre to me because at the same time its loosely defined by vibes but also has many limiting defining charateristics, so for a band to stick out from the rest it has to really push those boundaries. and if its made by people living in shithole/wartorn countries it takes everything up a notch - case in point, damaar

Anyone like Colombian ultra metal?

@soupbeing a bit of war metal is always good for the soul

i was a late bloomer to black metal, so not super in mega deep but i love it and have for some years now. come to it via goregrind and death etc. love all the basic staples ofcourse. gorgoroth, marduk, beherit, early darkthrone, mayhem, satyricon, bathory, dissection, taake, satanic warmaster (yeah i know the reputation) carpathian forest. Xasthur. so yeah i guess like, lever 2 amateur. a brown belter lol. Do love the atmospheric shit though a lot i sleep to it often, along with dsbm etc.

I’m a bit older(mid 30s)but I remember the golden age of USBM. Seeing Nachtmystium and Havohej tour and the scene was amazing…or so I thought.

Leviathan, Xasthur, Krieg, Chaos Moon were my favorite bands at the time to name a few 

It’s been about 21 years since I listened to my first favorite black metal band (Xasthur)

Anyone into trading? I got some doubles and a Discogs lol

ive been trying to get into black metal for the longest time, i really like deafheaven and the mayhem album with the blue cover (i cant remember the name bc its in latin)

any recs?

definitely not a deep cut at all, but i loveee bathory :-) nordland i & blood on ice are two of my favourite albums.

i listen to more ambient/dungeon synth tbh, im not the biggest metalhead. forgotten pathways, pazuzu, arath, and stormkeep are some of my favourites. 

what about black metal yaoui is that allowed

I've been really enjoying Silencer recently, I feel like despite being well known it gets a bad rep due to the vocal style, especially in Death - Pierce Me.

Other BM bands I like include None, Trist, Leviathan, Emit and Suizid

If anyone listens to harsh noise, the band Enbilulugugal has some really good BlackNoise (black metal X harsh noise)
