It's funny how so many people are in love with these guys and Mayhem when they are clearly, IMO, the weakest of the black metal pack.

I would actually credit Bathory for being the roots of the genre.

Haven't listened to this album in a long ass time. Finally listening to it again right now. The title track may be by favorite black metal song ever.

I was of course referring to second wave black metal. Black metal of course owes its roots mainly to Bathory, Venom (yes them too), Celtic Frost, Hellhammer, and Mercyful Fate. Mayhem and Darkthrone are the main founders of the second wave, though.

Cant forget bands like Satyricon, Immortal, Emperor, and Burzum.

Darkthrone and Mayhem were before all of those, though.
