Hawks 12.04.16	Cool list.
ScuroFantasma 12.04.16	"mercyful fate is not black metal" First wave
Greyvy 12.04.16	entry level
ScuroFantasma 12.04.16	@Trve I agree with that too, they're still part of the first wave though
Maco097 12.04.16	"mercyful fate is not black metal" Wrong
Astral Abortis 12.05.16	Mercyful Fate is black metal and if you deny this you know next to nothing about black metal. Go read my history list and gain some perspective.
Astral Abortis 12.07.16	you're an idiot
Deathconscious 12.07.16	mercyful fate is not black metal [2]
Ocean of Noise 12.07.16	They influenced black metal in image and lyrics only.
Deathconscious 12.07.16	neither are Celtic Frost, Venom, or Hellhammer.
Maco097 12.07.16	Back in those days black metal didn't have a proper sound, it was mostly about image and lyrics yeah. Obviously things are different now but it's still correct to call all those bands black metal. Also, Mercyful Fate are by far the best first wave band.
Astral Abortis 12.07.16	Many of their ideas and styles on their early releases became a staple in second wave black metal, and they're definitely far more than typical heavy metal. They have way heavier, darker and more experimental styles for the time in their music and they pioneered that signature "surf metal" riffing style that has become a black metal in-joke these days, the Norwegians just tremmed it up a fucktonne. And basically they are one of the two most important pillars of black metal and were called that long before anything most people consider "black metal" today even existed. It was all circumstance that changed the general widespread view of what black metal is, not anything meaningful.
Ocean of Noise 12.07.16	"Mercyful Fate are by far the best first wave band." Bathory tho
Maco097 12.07.16	Not on the same level. Not at all.
worthlessscab 12.07.16	no, that's Parabellum
Maco097 12.07.16	They are crap.
Astral Abortis 12.07.16	Parabellum isn't the best first wave band at all. Neither is Bathory. Or Mercyful Fate. The correct answer is Hellhammer.
Astral Abortis 12.07.16	But basically, the 2:00 mark in this song is basically the most black metal moment in music history: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toifnKW4LZs
Deathconscious 12.07.16	Hellhammer isnt black metal, so thats impossible.
Astral Abortis 12.07.16	Jesus christ if you don't even know that Hellhammer is black metal what good is trying to teach you about Mercyful Fate. You're just a lost cause.
Maco097 12.07.16	"Hellhammer" Cringes They are bm though.
Deathconscious 12.07.16	lol snox getting all riled up about black metal again.
worthlessscab 12.07.16	you know nothing if you can't recognize this as the most potent bm sound https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLaJitcQ0mc
Astral Abortis 12.07.16	Adolf you ignorant slut
Maco097 12.07.16	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOibIxl3dLo
Astral Abortis 12.07.16	sorry worthless we've already established hellhammer as the best although if we're speaking of "most potent bm sound", that's very specifically Bathory - The Return
zaruyache 12.07.16	2:10 in that MF song sounds pretty proto-bm to me. It's just a basic chug riff with some black metal flair at the end, but it has an essential black metal/Slayer-ness to it.
Mystletainn 12.07.16	hellhammer, bathory and parabellum are all better than mercyful fate and venom
Astral Abortis 12.07.16	hahahaHAahahaHahaHAHAHahahAHaHAahaha
Astral Abortis 12.07.16	You got it the wrong way around idiot
Astral Abortis 12.07.16	damn it can't you do anything right
Astral Abortis 12.07.16	that's not even close to what it was
Deathconscious 12.07.16	Y'all nasty.
worthlessscab 12.07.16	what do you think about El Estigio, friends?
budgie 12.07.16	kill yourself for not putting under a funeral moon also, in defiance of existence over born of the flickering? in defiance of existence isnt even black metal
dbizzles 12.07.16	Where's Ghost Bath??? lol
zaruyache 12.07.16	I should make my own fav bm thread. And what a lovely dumpster fire it would be.
brainmelter 12.07.16	40 rules
Maco097 12.07.16	Naaa
ScuroFantasma 12.07.16	They are first wave bm
Hawks 12.07.16	Those bands are all bm.
Astral Abortis 12.07.16	holy shit
Mystletainn 12.07.16	Trvly doesn't understand black metal
budgie 12.07.16	bryan ferry is more black metal than all of you goons

Deathconscious 12.07.16	False metal, real metal, i dont fuckin care, Agalloch transcends space and time.
blacklightjer 12.07.16	Agalloch is overrated, but a good band nonetheless.
zaruyache 12.07.16	only one overrated is their last one.
budgie 12.07.16	they're all the most overrated albums
Egarran 12.07.16	Lots and lots of my faves on that list, so it must be correct. Also, you should cut it down to 25 albums.
Mystletainn 12.07.16	they're all the most overrated albums [2]
brainmelter 12.09.16	Agalloch is extremely overrated
worthlessscab 12.09.16	agalloch is lounge music
zaruyache 12.09.16	chill post-rock is basically just that
dbizzles 12.09.16	I think the Mantle is slightly overrated, but disagree about the rest. It's whatever though. I love most of their stuff.
kveldulf57 01.17.17	Very nice list, Dimmu Borgir might deserve a place though huh?
Flugmorph 01.17.17	check the new schammasch tbh
budgie 01.17.17	hellhammer's APOCALYPTIC RAIDS 1990AD
Maco097 01.17.17	no
TheEnigma 01.17.17	Am I blind, or is Agalloch not on this list? The Mantle
