atrink: Just Listened To Burzum For The First Time

atrink 03.13.13	What have I been missing out on? If this is what black metal sounds like I definitely will dive straight in. Any 'beginner' or essential recs would be appreciated
Calc 03.13.13	I wont listen to this guy because he's a shitty person. judge me.
foxblood 03.13.13	Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas Emperor - In The Nightside Eclipse both are essential
someguest 03.13.13	"I wont listen to this guy because he's a shitty person." stop punishing yourself for others' actions
atrink 03.13.13	Yeah. This dude is absolute shit. Burning churches and killing people. But I can look past that if his music is good. So if the band is full of assholes you won't listen to them? or is this the only instance?
atrink 03.13.13	@foxblood. i listened to mayhem a long time ago and thought it was pretty decent..
DrMaximus 03.13.13	Ulver - Bergtatt Bathory - Under The Sign Of The Black Mark Borknagar - The Olden Domain Coldworld - Melancholie Dark Funeral - Dark Funeral Darkthrone - A Blaze In The Northern Sky Deathspell Omega - Paracletus Dissection - Storm Of The Light's Bane Dornenreich - Nicht Um Zu Sterben Drudkh - Autumn Aurora Emperor - In The Nightside Eclipse Gorgoroth - Pentagram Gris - Il Etait Immortal - Pure Holocaust Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas Naglfar - Vittra Nargaroth - Herbstleyd Paysage d'Hiver - Paysage d'Hiver Sacramentum - Far Away From The Sun Satyricon - Dark Medieval Times Summoning - Stronghold Taake - Hordalands Doedskvad Troll - Drep De Kristne Vinterland - Welcome My Last Chapter Vordven - Towards The Frozen Stream
Calc 03.13.13	so far this is the only instance I know of. either way I'm not missing anything. There's too much music to worry about one possibly good artist.
YankeeDudel 03.13.13	2nd maximus Enslaved Moonsorrow Nokturnal Mortem Grand Belial's Key Weakling Blut Aus Nord Windir Wolves in the Throne Room Peste Noire Shining Darkspace Negura Bunget Primordial Deafheaven Ash Borer / Fell Voices October Falls Leviathan Lunar Aurora In The Woods Melechesh Lantlos Cobalt The Ruins of Beverast Silencer Borknager Samael
grish 03.13.13	ha the burzum guy is fucking crazy. filosofem rules fun fact: the guitar on filosofem was recorded through a boombox because he didn't have an amp at the time
atrink 03.13.13	If you guys had to pick two or three artists you would deem quintessential black metal who would it be? I appreciate the recs and everything, but with all these bands i feel like i'd get over saturated. You know?
YankeeDudel 03.13.13	the... burzum..... guy?/?/////
MeatSalad 03.13.13	ya the guy u no?
YankeeDudel 03.13.13	atrink i feel you cuz these are alot of recs but they're all great bands. some sound different than others so its hard to really pick absolute favorites. most people just go with the early influential stuff though.
Keyblade 03.13.13	the Doc and yankee got you covered bro
DrMaximus 03.13.13	From my list, if your gonna check out just a few artists, check out... Ulver - Bergtatt Dissection - Strom Of The Lights Bane Immortal - Pure Holocaust But they are all worth checking out
ConcubinaryCode 03.13.13	ludicra
Deathconscious 03.13.13	there is a whole atmospheric side to black metal that is largely influenced by Burzum, so yeah, this is what some black metal sounds like. the other side is the raw, primal shit that goes for the throat.
atrink 03.13.13	Something tells me i'd enjoy the atmospheric side a little more than the primal stuff. Ulver is sounding great right now
SIMBOLIC 03.13.13	Filosfem is just too long and repetative for moi. Hvis Lyset however is where the shiznit is at
atrink 03.13.13	Rundgang Um Die Transzendentale Säule Der Singularität seemed a bit long on first listen, but i still enjoyed it
Keyblade 03.13.13	ludicra [2]
WashboardSuds 03.13.13	yea I just got into him in the last month or so, Filosofem blew me away
gosk8n 03.13.13	Windir
Deathconscious 03.13.13	Agalloch - The Mantle Altar of Plagues - White Tomb Darkspace - Dark space III
YetAnotherBrick 03.13.13	props for diving into uncharted musical territory, that can be difficult sometimes
laughingman22 03.13.13	filosofem and Drudkh's autumn aurora are my two favorites but it seem like every black metal band I check out is pretty cool
Ignimbrite 03.13.13	HLTO is the most fucking overrated album of all time. Filosofem is awesome, though.
Ignimbrite 03.13.13	and yeah, get the Weakling album ASAP.
Keyblade 03.13.13	weakling [12345]
ITsHxCTOASTER 03.13.13	I don't think Varg is that bad of a dude tbh
atrink 03.13.13	Lol varg killed a dude, burned down at least four churches and had a shit ton of explosives and ammunition at his house when he was arrested. The guy is pretty bad
Atari 03.13.13	Whoah surprised this list is from u atrink. Funny enough I'm starting to get into black metal as well but haven't heard Burzum. Maybe check bathory they're one of the best I've heard
Funkenstein 03.13.13	you have to understand his motives / circumstances before you judge him tho
Ignimbrite 03.13.13	"you have to understand his motives / circumstances before you judge him tho" I understand that he's a rabid neo-Nazi. Am I allowed to judge him now?
Funkenstein 03.13.13	even if that was true, that still has nothing at all to do with his actions in norway which resulted in his imprisonment
Atari 03.13.13	who cares. good music is good music.
Funkenstein 03.13.13	^
YankeeDudel 03.13.13	i wish there were more neo nazis if it meant good tunes
KILL 03.13.13	hasnt been for many years
DrMaximus 03.13.13	you have to understand his motives / circumstances before you judge him tho [2] Funk with the logic
Funkenstein 03.13.13	they didnt clone me for nothin bro
anarchistfish 03.13.13	forget the murder, his facebook posts are annoying as fuck might unlike
SCREAM! 03.13.13	"even if that was true, that still has nothing at all to do with his actions in norway which resulted in his imprisonment" Even if? He's openly admitted to being a rabid neo-nazi
sideburndude 03.13.13	You are entering a great world
illmitch 03.13.13	if you don't listen to NSBM you're pleb as fuck
