Ultimate Top 50 ever Black Metal List
Ok, ranked are just the first 3, but...after 20 years being a music nerd, i am finally sure about my 20 favorites. |
| 1 |  | The Ruins of Beverast
Rain Upon the Impure
For me this is the most complete black metal album ever made. It has it all: excellent songwriting, integrating different genre influences, a noisy-distorted production, a menacing atmosphere, e.g.. |
| 2 |  | Funeral Mist
Salvation
I think that this could be the most dangerous black metal album ever made: brutal, harsh, evil, spooky. And back in the days it was ahead of its time. I my opionion it is the biggest compliment for a black metal album that after listening you are exhausted and happy that it is over. |
| 3 |  | Behexen
By the Blessing of Satan
I could write the nearly exact same text for this album like the text above about Salvation. But By the Blessing of Satan has slightly more Mercy with us listeners. |
