02.19.16 | unblack metal. |
TheSpirit
02.19.16 | Atmospheric black metal is probably my favorite. Also you forget progressive black metal, which would be bands like Kathaarsis, Katharsys, Nocte Obducta, and my personal favorite Lugubrum. Oh and depressive black metal. Oh, and blackened noise too. |
SitruK6
02.19.16 | @TheSpirit : Thanks for reminding me that, i knew i would forget something haha. |
Mystletainn
02.19.16 | My favorite is 1st wave black metal and war metal. |
Nazzadan
02.19.16 | Favorite is probably second wave and bands that emulate the second wave sound.
You are missing melodic black metal like Dissection and Dark Fortress |
climactic
02.19.16 | paysage is my fav which i guess is ambient black metal (??) |
SitruK6
02.19.16 | @Nazzadan: as i responded to "TheSpirit" i knew i would miss things haha!
adding dissection now ^_^ |
SitruK6
02.19.16 | @Mystletainn/Nazzadan : can you name a few of your favorites? |
Nazzadan
02.19.16 | Burzum's s/t, Darkthrone's first 4 black metal albums, Taake's Hordalands Doedskvad, 1349's Hellfire, Astarte's Doomed Dark Years, Immortal's Pure Holocaust, Emperor's Wrath of the Tyrant.
I probably listen to more contemporary sounding BM more than 2nd wave and the bands that play the same style, but good 2nd wave to me is unbeatable. |
Mystletainn
02.19.16 | 1st wave: Bathory, Celtic Frost, Hellhammer, Possessed, Mayhem, Sodom
War: Blasphemy, Revenge, Sarcofago |
Jekub
02.19.16 | bergtatt is one of my favorites, feels like it should belong to some sub genre, folk something or whatever |
Ashen
02.19.16 | what exactly differentiates "ambient" black metal from "atmospheric" black metal? things being arbitrarily tagged as atmospheric garner a silent groan of disapproval |
climactic
02.19.16 | to me, ambient takes the atmosphere to a different level where everything meshes together to form this big wall of sound, whereas in atmospheric every component is still distinguishable and theres just lots of reverby guitars and layers and stuff |
enedwaith
02.19.16 | first wave |
SitruK6
02.19.16 | @Nazzadan : indeed nothing can beat good 2nd wave black metal ^_^ .
@Mystletainn: i heard a shit ton about Revenge as of late, will probably listen to some of their music tomorrow.
btw i wouldn't really call Mayhem 1st wave (of course in the end it's how you tag it so, my opinion isn't really that relevant) |
Nazzadan
02.19.16 | Mayhem is absolutely 1st wave, they just have such a heavy influence on 2nd wave that to many they seem indistinguishable |
Mystletainn
02.19.16 | None of Mayhem's material sounds like Norway's 2nd wave. |
SitruK6
02.19.16 | @Jekub : Ulver is awesome!!
Ashen@ : I've never actually sat down and thought about the difference between the two, but i can assure you that when i hear one or the other i can distinguish between the two. |
Sevengill
02.19.16 | subgenre Myrkur |
Nazzadan
02.19.16 | Eh, I think De Mysteriis has quite a few simularities with the second wave sound.
Deathcrush not so much |
Mystletainn
02.19.16 | I always thought ambient black metal was black metal with ambient passages like akhlys and vemod. |
enedwaith
02.19.16 | mayhem is def first wave |
SitruK6
02.19.16 | @Nazzadan : first off as i said each person can have a different opinion, but to me Mayhem is 2nd wave because, they have more simularities with other 2nd wave bands then what Bathory has for example.
|
enedwaith
02.19.16 | sitruK have you listened to deathcrush? 87? |
Mystletainn
02.19.16 | From the vox to the riffs, mayhem is much closer to the 1st wave than 2nd. |
SitruK6
02.19.16 | @enedwaith : i have not, but with all of this talk about mayhem being 1st wave i should probably check out "Deathcrush" maybe it will give me a better perceptive of your opinions. |
SitruK6
02.19.16 | Maybe a better way to describe mayhem would be something in between the 1st and 2nd wave?
btw listening to deathcrush(the song) right now. |
SitruK6
02.19.16 | @Sevengill : i really enjoy the clean vocals on Myrkur, but in general it's really average. |
hal1ax
02.19.16 | DSBM and atmospheric |
enedwaith
02.19.16 | mayhem is both 1st and 2nd wave because of deathcrush and dmds; all the same, enjoy deathcrush |
SitruK6
02.19.16 | @enedwaith I can already see myself jamming Deathcrush this whole weekend haha ^_^.
in the end it's all about the music not what it's tagged!. |
Mystletainn
02.19.16 | Deathcrush vox are vicious as are the riffz |
Alastor
02.20.16 | Atmospheric/Doom/Ambient BM like Urfaust and Ruins Of Beverast. |
ScuroFantasma
02.20.16 | Blackened folk metal? Like Finntroll and Equilibrium etc. I like that stuff. |
L4titudes
02.20.16 | #5 How does one blacken that that is already black |
ScuroFantasma
02.20.16 | 9 is sweet by the way, nice addition here |
Ashen
02.20.16 | we have a "blackest of the black" tourney circulating right now too so there are obviously multiple shades of black going on here |
ScuroFantasma
02.20.16 | @inferior I thought that too but I think he means blackened(insert other genre) not blackened black metal |
Mystletainn
02.20.16 | Blackened punk is another sub genre, like bone awl. |
L4titudes
02.20.16 | That would make more sense. I'm not sure he is saying that though. I don't really know what else you can tag Belphagor with other than black metal. |
SitruK6
02.20.16 | I meant blackend death metal, sorry for the misconception. |
L4titudes
02.20.16 | Oh ok |
SitruK6
02.20.16 | ^_^ |
hal1ax
02.20.16 | um maybe industrial bm? like some of blut aus nord's work. |
Deathconscious
02.20.16 | Nice list. I would definitely call Enslaved a progressive band. What about dissonant bm though? |
enedwaith
02.20.16 | diabolical fullmoon mysticism |
Ashen
02.20.16 | cascadian blackened mistgaze |
Nazzadan
02.20.16 | transcendental black metal |
DominionMM1
02.20.16 | any one that doesn't involve cheesedick corpse paint |
Hawks
02.20.16 | Nice list. |
Jekub
02.20.16 | What about windir tho |
Ashen
02.20.16 | goatfuck inseminated vagblack |
rufinthefury
02.20.16 | First Wave and Atmospheric are the best but you're missing Viking metal dude. Where would we be today without Einherjer? |
SitruK6
02.20.16 | I'm sorry if I'm not answering or updating the list right now.. It's 03:10 here and I'm way too tired for this now. |
braspberries
02.20.16 | ~*~transcendental black metal~*~

L4titudes
02.20.16 | unblack metal |
Relinquished
02.20.16 | black/sludge metal
coffinworm |
ZippaThaRippa
02.20.16 | DSBM
Shining, Lifelover, Apati, Happy Days, Hypomanie, Coldworld |
DominionMM1
02.20.16 | where's the blackened psychedelic drone? |
ZippaThaRippa
02.20.16 | Oh I didn't realize this was a circlejerk |
TheSpirit
02.20.16 | do you want regional bm genres too?
because then we could do like hellenic black metal and stuff like that. some scenes have a very specific sound
|
ZippaThaRippa
02.20.16 | Any other regional varieties that you can think of? Cascadian and Hellenic are the only two that I can think of really |
enedwaith
02.20.16 | loads of french groups in that shoegaze category |
TheSpirit
02.20.16 | South American black metal
Japanese black metal
also you could do occult black metal (katharsis, acherontas)
raw black metal (satanic warmaster)
blackened thrash (destroyer 666)
astral black metal (dommedagssalme, darkspace, ahulabrum)
|
ZippaThaRippa
02.20.16 | I briefly considered Japanese as its own sub genre but they don't really conform to a specific style. Hell, when it comes to Japanese metal it's hard to even nail down the genre itself. |
TheSpirit
02.20.16 | there's a very small group of bands who play with more overt "oriental" influences, but to be honest, i don't remember who
|
hal1ax
02.20.16 | japanese sabbat is sweet |
ZippaThaRippa
02.20.16 | To be honest the only Japanese bands I can think of off the top of my head are Sigh, Corrupted and Intestine Baalism. And obviously none of those bear any relation to the others whatsoever |
enedwaith
02.20.16 | first wave has |
beefshoes
02.20.16 | Atmospheric bm is the best bm/ |
enedwaith
02.20.16 | bathory hellhammer cf mayhem onslaught nme sodom kreator destruction
and so wins |
ZippaThaRippa
02.20.16 | So Mayhem is considered first wave? I always thought that they were considered second wave that was strongly emulating first wave with their initial work. But they went on to develop and inspire the second wave sound that was popularized by their associates like Emperor and Burzum |
hal1ax
02.20.16 | de mysteriis is 2nd wave |
ZippaThaRippa
02.20.16 | And everything prior is first-ish? |
enedwaith
02.20.16 | they at least began a first wave band but DMDS is one of the first second wave albums or may as well be considered so |
enedwaith
02.20.16 | tbh DMDS kind of overlaps, i see it as first wave too |
ScuroFantasma
02.20.16 | They're way better known for their secondwave stuff though |
enedwaith
02.20.16 | the only well known mayhem album is dmds |
Mystletainn
02.20.16 | Dmds was written in the 80s and has a 1st wave sound, therefore it's 1st wave. |
forkliftjones
02.20.16 | Folk BM and Viking BM can be really great. |
enedwaith
02.20.16 | also i think a blaze isnt the correct album to represent 2nd wave
even though maybe it is, maybe its the first 2nd wave, wow what a woozy doozy |
Keyblade
02.20.16 | epic bm or w/e u call summoning's brand of bm |
enedwaith
02.20.16 | i think summoning is just summoning lol
but yeah summoning for life m/ |
Keyblade
02.20.16 | summoning bm it is |
Deathconscious
02.20.16 | damn, Svffer is pretty cool. |
Deathconscious
02.20.16 | https://svffer.bandcamp.com/album/empathist
totally didnt expect the vocalist from Svffer to look like that. |
trve
02.20.16 | probably atmospheric bm even though i always found burzum to be incredibly boring
spectral lore mare cognitum and some black twilight circle stuff are the shit tho |
SitruK6
02.20.16 | @OvDeath : I never said mayhem doesn't sound like bathory, but what i meant was that mayhem has more simularities with 2nd wave bands then what bathory has with the 2nd wave.
@AdolfChrist : svffer is awesome man, so underrated (i hope that's the right word to describe this band). |
SitruK6
02.20.16 | @enedwaith : Ha ha!, well i wasn't sure at first if a blaze would be the right pick but i love that album so damn much i just decided it was the right one ^_^ |
SitruK6
02.20.16 | Also at this point i'm willing to add any sub genre just write the name of the genre + an album/band (that's ofc as long as it's a legit thing) |
Keyblade
02.20.16 | add summoning bm! |
SitruK6
02.20.16 | @Keyblade : under epic black metal? |
Keyblade
02.20.16 | no just summoning bm lol |
SitruK6
02.20.16 | @Keyblade : well i'm gonna add them as epic black metal, based upon the description of the band on sputnik + the 2 - 3 songs i know by them are pretty epic sounding. |
Tunaboy45
02.20.16 | Enslaved only really started to become progressive in the 2000s but yeah they're definitely progressive. |
SitruK6
02.20.16 | @Tunaboy45 From what album specifically would you say they changed? |
InFlamesWeThrash666
02.20.16 | Industrial BM: Samael,Dodheimsgard |
Tunaboy45
02.20.16 | @SitruK6 It's a popular topic of debate among fans but I'd say it was around the time of Below the Lights or Isa.
|
SitruK6
02.20.16 | @InFlamesWeThrash666 : i don't listen to any industrial bm, if you want me to add industrial let me know what album to add. |
SitruK6
02.20.16 | Also do you guys think "Melechesh" fall under the oriental black metal genre?
or should we just call it middle east black metal or something like that?. |
InFlamesWeThrash666
02.20.16 | Add "666 International" by Dodheimsgard....And give it a listen |
SitruK6
02.20.16 | @InFlamesWeThrash666 : adding right now, and i will give it a listen.
I don't why but i've never really given industrial bm a real try (or just industrial music in general), maybe this will be the album that will let me get a sight of what industrial bm is. ^_^ |
Flugmorph
02.20.16 | WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR |
Tunaboy45
02.20.16 | Oriental black metal is such a cool fusion |
SitruK6
02.20.16 | adding Melechesh to the list as Oriental bm |
InFlamesWeThrash666
02.20.16 | If you say so |
enedwaith
02.20.16 | i think filosofem representing ambient black metal is strange, considering that album started DSBM and isnt really ambient |
SCREAM!
02.20.16 | Surprised no one mentioned nsbm yet |
ChoccyPhilly
02.20.16 | Where would liturgy fall into? |
Tunaboy45
02.20.16 | Sadness are pretty good DSBM , but you could also class them as ambient. |
SitruK6
02.20.16 | @SCREAM! : does Nokturnal Mortum count? |
SitruK6
02.20.16 | Actually what OvDeath said is pretty much right, I'm not gonna add NSBM |
SitruK6
02.20.16 | @ChoccyPhilly : I have never listened to them so I cannot tell you..
|
Tunaboy45
02.20.16 | Cradle of Filth could also be classified as blackened death or even symphonic at a stretch. |
enedwaith
02.20.16 | cof could also not be mentioned at all |
SitruK6
02.20.16 | @Tunaboy45 : when I first made the list I wrote "not sure if this is the right category", but I've always felt that cradle had the extra goth thing going on that makes them also stretch into the gothic genre. |
Tunaboy45
02.20.16 | Yeah they're definitely predominately gothic, just saying they fall into other categories too.
@endewaith the old 'are COF really BM?' debate |
SitruK6
02.20.16 | Whether you hate cof or love them you cannot deny, the guy knows how to write good lyrics (this is my opinion if you disagree don't kill me ^_^) |
Tunaboy45
02.20.16 | Dani Filth is one of the best lyricists in BM today, not sure how many people would agree with me though. |
SitruK6
02.20.16 | well you got me on your side haha! ^_^ |
hikingmetalpunk
02.20.16 | good music |
enedwaith
02.20.16 | cof isnt bm fuck |
Tunaboy45
02.20.16 | What would you classify them as then? Gothic? |
enedwaith
02.20.16 | gay metal |
Tunaboy45
02.20.16 | kek |
SitruK6
02.20.16 | Haha |
SitruK6
02.20.16 | @OvDeath : that's a more reasonable argument.
I would say that I don't 100% agree with that, but they are definitely not pure bm in any sense. |
Mystletainn
02.20.16 | Bathory writes better lyrics than cof, fact. |
Sevengill
02.20.16 | SATAN SATAN SATAN SATAN SATAN SATAN |
enedwaith
02.20.16 | bathory lyrics are fucking poetry, man, have you never listened to hammerheart |
Sevengill
02.20.16 | ened, was that to me? |
ScuroFantasma
02.20.16 | "Dani Filth is one of the best lyricists in BM today"
For sure
"yeah CoF never really played BM aside from some early demos"
They're a pretty weird band yeah but BM is definitely in the mix |
enedwaith
02.21.16 | i guess it was seven :P |
Sevengill
02.21.16 | Bruh.
The Golden Walls of Heaven is an acrostic where every verse spells SATAN.
Literally fucking poetry ;) |
ZippaThaRippa
02.21.16 | Wait seriously |
Aftertheascension
02.21.16 | 6, 10, 15, 16, 20 all rule hard |
ZippaThaRippa
02.21.16 | I looked it up. Pretty fucking rad. I would have never picked up on that |
Spado
02.21.16 | summoning bm is the best type agreed |
Sevengill
02.21.16 | and Dies Israe is the same way, but it's CHRIST THE BASTARD SON OF HEAVEN. |
Sinternet
02.21.16 | which of these do altar of plagues come under i like that sound
blackgaze is pretty cool too i guess idk i need to listen to more stuff |
Hawks
02.21.16 | I would say Altar of Plagues is just atmospheric bm, but they have some industrial influences too, maybe even a little bit of a post bm sound at times. |
ZippaThaRippa
02.21.16 | Other than the SOL EP I didn't think that AOP were even considered black metal |
Sevengill
02.21.16 | fish ain't got no good black metal to listen to |
Avagantamos
02.21.16 | I like weakling and drudkh. I'll go with atmospheric bm I guess |
SitruK6
02.21.16 | Can anyone recommend me more bands like Young and in the way? |
SitruK6
02.21.16 | different strokes for different folks |
