Casus Luciferi (Watain), Stormblåst (Dimmu Borgir), The Principle of Evil Made Flesh (Cradle of Filth) are black metal classics in my book, but admittedly they've been on a slippery slope ever since.

As for "the ultimate aggressively marketed sub-par black metal band", I believe this title belongs to Satyricon. Yet somehow these clowns gave us Nemesis Divina, back in the days. And for that, I salute them.

Agog hahaha you are wrong about Satyricon. They are literally one of the best 2nd wave bands and few people would disagree with this. Dark Medieval Times is a literal classic of the genre and an amazing listen

Dark Medieval Times is a fucking snooze fest, LOL.

But hey, opinions...

Dude the title track is legendary. It has one of the best melodic passages ever, you should probably re-listen lol

Nah...

Yeah actually better to stick with Watain I guess

Considering the latest albums of both bands, damn right Watain is better listening than Satyricon.

But maybe that's just silly old me.
