FunJan: Top 10 Black Metal Records of All Time

Hawks 08.06.26	Very nice. M////
Rowhaus 08.06.26	Damn fine list here good sir m/ Also agree with your # 1
NightOnDrunkMountain 08.06.26	Appreciate the personality of this list. #2 would be very high on my list too, maybe even at first place. The Norwegian picks are all a must, nice to see Behexen and Lurker of Chalice (both great, for me they might not be in consideration for an all-time top 10 though) Henbane is a masterpiece, so is that Paysage. Despite the popularity, that Ruins of Beverast is the one I'm least familiar with
cylinder 08.06.26	needs Dead as Dreams and Il Etait une Foret
Christbait 08.06.26	"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." I am the complete opposite lol. A black metal album that fits snuggly within the confines of the genre while also maintaining a level of replayability is a very desirable quality for me when it comes to seeking out new BM. It's also the reason why I've sort of moved away from it in recent years. Agalloch is probably my go-to example for the type of black metal that exemplifies those qualities, but other bands like Spectral Wound and Mgla tend to hit the right kind of notes for me too. But I've learned that I have to be in a very specific mood or headspace to want to listen to them. Five or six years ago and I would have told you that black metal dominated my listening habits.
Sevengill 08.06.26	Love #1 choice. 4 and 10 great also, and Leipzig over the obvious debut is clutch.
Hawks 08.06.26	Bm still dominates my listening. Has for 20 years now lol.
bighubbabuddha 08.06.26	Farts
Confessed2005 08.06.26	Nice picks.
SuzyC 08.12.26	The list looks good. None of my favorite BM albums appear here.
