Tb1114: I'm Trying to Get into Black Metal...

Tb1114 06.27.19	was listening to The Mantle while making this list, The Hawthorne Passage was on, and I really dig that. I think after a couple more listens I'll find to love this album. what intrigues me most about the genre is its themes of nature and spirituality, autonomy, forfeiture of self, hermitism, and transcendentalism. that being said, like with the Blut Aus Nord record, the themes intrigue me like crazy, but the sound just doesn't entice me. ty for listening.
Bedex 06.27.19	inb4 a trillion recs from Hawks ay Evilfeast - Mysteries of the Nocturnal Forest
Dimorphic 06.27.19	This would be my primary recommendation. Excellent black metal with significant experimental/jazz/prog leanings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUnK5Ww049c If you are into awesome vocals / melody / emotions in your BM, check out this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYHfKCjiyLo I will almost certainly post more in this thread in the future.
garas 06.27.19	You need Dødheimsgard - insane band, and their guitarist is really into the buddhist imagery. I think you'd like 'A Umbra Omega'.
Tb1114 06.27.19	Awesome, all of these look interesting so far! Added them to my black metal playlist
TheNotrap 06.27.19	Fas is indeed great. Some good 2019 stuff: Deathspell Omega- The Furnaces of Palingenesia Misthyrming - Algleymi Gaahls Wyrd - Ghosts Invited Kampfar - Ofidians manifest Istapp - The Insidious Star Mephorash - Shem Ha Mephorash Aoratos - Gods Without Name Rotting Christ - The Heretics Noctambulist - Atmospheres of Desolation (hybrid) Altarage - The Approaching Roar (hybrid) Panzerfaust - The Suns of Perdition - Chapter I: War, Horrid War
Bedex 06.27.19	Btw props for enjoying 6 early on in your bm journey bcs personally it took me a good while and a good amount of other bm digs to get over the piss poor production and get to love it lol
garas 06.27.19	Oh yeahhhh, Gaahls Wyrd was so fuckin' gooooooooood!!! You gotta hear that Tb1114!
PunchforPunch 06.27.19	Ildjarn - Forest Poetry Akitsa - La grande infamie Vlad Tepes / Belkètre - March to the Black Holocaust Branikald - Rdjandalir Nehemah - Light of a Dead Star
blou52 06.27.19	I’m surprised you haven’t listened to Ulver’s first album. It’s along the lines of the stuff in the list
Rowhaus 06.27.19	The Ruins of Beverast - Rain Upon the Impure Possibly the best bm album of all time
Nerdurosis 06.27.19	Ulver - Bergtatt is honestly (imo) probably the most accessible and digestible black metal album to listen to, at least from my experience.
zakalwe 06.27.19	As a youth scene born by dissatisfaction with ones surroundings it’s real deal as music it’s mostly bollocks.
geezers1989 06.27.19	Samael is pr good
Tb1114 06.27.19	Damn y'all this is a lot! I'll have to keep y'all updated on my BM journey as I'm going through these. Today I listened to the Mantle & Deathspell's new album (which I do really like upon first listen). It's a sunny day here in Atlanta tho, so I need to unwind with some Mingus and take a breather. Dodheimsgard & Ulver stick out, def gonna listen to Ulver's first album soon. Gaahls Wyrd sounds cool! skimming through I appreciate the variation of vocals. @ Bedex, ty. I thoroughly enjoy Paysage's ST (I'm tempted to go back and relisten sometime today). I love the length of the songs, the atmosphere, and the texture of the guitar that somehow breaks through the lo-fi. Again, I cannot get into his other stuff but that albums awesome.
Arditi 06.27.19	Mgla - Exercises in Futility Batushka - Litourgiya Inquisition - Bloodshed Across the Empyrean Altar Beyond the Celestial Zenith Drudkh - Blood in Our Wells Burzum - Filosofem Downfall of Nur - Umbras de Barabgia
DungeonBoy 06.27.19	Dimmu Borgir is pretty entry level BM if you dig symphonic stuff try Enthrone Darkness Triumphant and Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia as they are both very different. If you dig Agalloch, try giving Ulver - Bergtatt a spin. If you're ready for more lofi/symphonic stuff try Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse If you want some frosty BM to beat the heat try Immortal - At the Heart of Winter
Bedex 06.27.19	Have you tried Das Tor from Pd'H? Probably his third best after s/t and Winterkalte Drudkh - Blood in Our Wells [2] Burzum - Filosofem [2] Downfall of Nur - Umbras de Barabgia [2] Ulver - Bergtatt [2]
Dimorphic 06.27.19	Anything by Neckbeard Deathcamp
budgie 06.27.19	bergtatt [3]
idiotican 06.28.19	HEY MAN that burzum album took me a while to appreciate but it is his best album to me. If you want a superior Agalloch album, listen to Ashes Against the Grain. I also prefer Pale Folklore to The Mantle. I started to love black metal when i listened to Dimmu Borgir's first 2 albums, so check those out, and definitely also listen to their 2001 album Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia
Tb1114 06.28.19	Ok peers, given y'alls suggestions, I'm gonna listen to 1-2 of these suggestions a day for the next week & I'll post a list of what I like & don't like. I really wanna dig my teeth into the new Thom Yorke & Freddie Gibbs records too though, so we'll see what happens. Thankfully this upcoming week is supposed to be a cloudy and rainy week in ATL
Morningrise767 06.28.19	Dimmu Borgir - Enthrone Darkness Triumphant Emperor - Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk OR Prometheus Immortal - Sons of Northern Darkness Summoning - Dol Guldur
Demon of the Fall 06.28.19	(2) for Dimmu, Emperor, Ulver's Bergtatt, Immortal (although I'd go for In the Heart of Winter for some accessible black/thash). As you're already listening to Agalloch try their most BM-orientated album in Marrow of the Spirit, I happen to think it's their best. Moonsorrow rule and that's the best DSO as well.
naughtcturnal 06.28.19	Negative Plane - Stained Glass Revelations Kataxu - Hunger of Elements Blasphemy - Fallen Angel of Doom Cobalt - Eater of Birds Darkspace - -I (re-recording) Warmoon Lord - Burning Banners of the Funereal War (s/o Hawks)
Bedex 07.19.19	' I'm gonna listen to 1-2 of these suggestions a day for the next week & I'll post a list of what I like & don't like' still waitin' on this buddy
R4zor3dge 07.19.19	Mgla - Exercises in Futility Dissection - Storm of the Light's Bane Saor - Forgotten Paths Nice picks btw
samwise2000 07.19.19	Sigh - Scorn Defeat is a pretty fun listen
Meridiu5 07.19.19	Bergtatt [23] Hvis lyset tarr oss Pale folklore is the best though
JayEnder 07.19.19	Bergtatt by Ulver [infinity]
JustJoe. 07.19.19	Pale Folklore is best though [2]
budgie 07.20.19	did he died
JustJoe. 07.20.19	pretty kvlt if trve
JustJoe. 07.20.19	https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=188275&memberid=1059631 found him alive
naughtcturnal 07.20.19	Monarque - "Lys Noir" if ur not dead
Tb1114 07.20.19	Lol ok y'all. I'll make a list sometime soon. Y'all will be disappointed. I listened to a handful of suggestions and needed a break. BM is really not my style, but I've got notes on what I liked & disliked about the albums I listened to.
Trifolium 07.20.19	This helped me immensely, probably The BM song https://youtu.be/glKbRmOmB9M
DoofDoof 07.20.19	Why do these lists always make me think of ‘I’m trying to start smoking cigarettes’
Sinternet 07.20.19	emperor and altar of plagues are super super essential jam those immediately
Bedex 10.22.19	Still waiting for that update list teebee
Sowing 10.22.19	2 is one of the only black metal albums I've ever liked
Bedex 10.22.19	It's hardly black metal really, but it is so goood
Tb1114 10.22.19	It'll come eventually :) I'm incapable of forcing myself to listen to music I'm not in the mood for. We'll see what unfolds this winter when the weather captures my mood.
Bedex 10.22.19	Ay nice. Probably a good thing actually - the Winter skies will magnify it all and hopefully you'll enjoy the music more
iglu 10.22.19	sadness - i want to be there
DDDeftoneDDD 10.22.19	Sweet list. I read your obs about classic bm yet you should give a shot at Darkthrone's A Blaze in the Northern Sky. Non classical BM: - Altar of Plagues - Teethed Glory and Injury - Numenorean - Adore
