Album Rating: 3.5

lol

it is man straight up

my dick cries to this album

bm + post rock is a huge turn off for me

well i'm new to bm so i enjoyed it

there are some exceptions but a lot of the time i find it feels really cheesy and boring

i like my bm hard cold and fast usually

who are your favorite bm bands? i'm trying to get into it

just start with the classics

they're classics for a reason

"just start with the classics"

which would be? lol i know nothing about bm

the classics are like darkthrone, emperor(symphonic bm done right), ulver(though they are folky black metal, Bergtatt is my fav BM release ever), older Immortal (new stuff is more black/thrash but still good), Mayhem, Burzum

those are all great entry-level black metal groups

cool thanks

yeah, you gotta check Darkthrone's bm trilogy to get an idea of what trve kvlt bm sounds like lol
the production can be off-putting though

i'll check a bunch out this weekend!

bathory - under the sign of the black mark
darkthrone - transylvanian hunger
burzum - hvis lyset tar oss
mayhem - deathcrush
emperor - in the nightside eclipse

those are pretty much all essential listens regardless of who likes what

forgot bathory yeah they were one of earliest pioneers

never really liked under the sign much but i respect its impact on bm

i hear about bathory a lot around here

quite a bore.

bathory, not a bore at all. invigorating music.

gonna try venom first since they're black metal/thrash

venom doesnt sound like black metal at all

they coined the term and did the whole satanic thing but the first actual black metal band was bathory

and if you want black thrash listen to sarcofago its better anyways
