albums with 15 votes or less. |
| 1 |  | Kaevum
Natur
very raw, primitive black metal. if you want to feel kvlt, jam this. https://youtu.be/MlPxdNEoq-E |
| 2 |  | Void Meditation Cult
Utter the Tongue Of The Dead
anybody like Beherit? so fuckin evil i can feel satan's black semen spilling out of all of my orifices as i listen. https://youtu.be/kjyXiQXe5Ow |
| 3 |  | Hordak
Under the Sign of the Wilderness
like if Amon Amarth was black metal (i think i stole that from somewhere). triumphant and even uplifting, i would say. one of my favorites on this list. https://youtu.be/hucBqoO0WRA |
| 4 |  | Nuclear Desecration
Desecrated Temple of Impurity
bestial/war stuff. that snare pops hard as fuck. OOUUUGHH. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuY0h-T9JfE |
| 5 |  | Profundis Tenebrarum
Disciples of Venomous Death
Profundis Tenebrarum went from some pretty average black metal to some seriously engaging material. that 6 year gap in between albums must have given them a chance to hone their skills and craft something exceptional. the tempos and riffs are necksnapping. https://youtu.be/K4TINkJCmCk |
| 6 |  | Nocturnal Graves
Satan's Cross
blackened thrash. if you like fun and swinging your goatcock to and fro, this is for you. https://youtu.be/ZOJVADuzXok |
| 7 |  | Dagorath
Glare of the Morning Star
Dagorath take the path of restraint. instead of creating riff salads to blast your face off at the speed of 666 for the whole album, ideas are fully fleshed out and a variety of tempos are explored, transitioning into each other seamlessly. https://youtu.be/lzz22HHj_fU |
| 8 |  | Weregoat
Unholy Exaltation of Fullmoon Perversity
bestial/war all about cunts and goats. sounds like it was recorded with a carrot. https://youtu.be/U6qOd5PqMEw |
| 9 |  | Deus Mortem
Emanations of the Black Light
the fuckin leads on this thing, ugh. https://youtu.be/hLTN5KKXePs |
| 10 |  | Forest Mysticism
Hearken
gives me a similar feelings as Hordak, but with more nostalgia, more bittersweetness. not really musically comparable though. straightforward, simple yet effective melodic black metal. https://youtu.be/NWxQHXiceJU |
| 11 |  | Ion
Ion
experimental black metal that mostly eschews the Deathspell Omega tropes that permeate a lot of "experimental" black metal. and yet it's musical and familiar enough to be easily appreciated at the same time. https://youtu.be/3iWziP6eTU4 |
| 12 |  | Devil Master
Inhabit the Corpse
want to hear what it would be like if Lemmy was in a black metal band? https://youtu.be/UTQDWHcSvI8 |
| 13 |  | Totaled
Lament
hardcore-influenced black metal. it's not out yet, but based on the single, i'm stoked for it. they have the riffs, the production is amazing, and they actually make use of the bass. https://youtu.be/HJvNh3m7b3s |
| 14 |  | Goatslave
Procession of Doom
black metal that is clearly influenced by the bestial/war side of black metal, but not totally immersed, despite what their band name, logo, album artwork, and uhh, fashion style tell you. https://youtu.be/nUtB-paqxCU |
| 15 |  | Erebus Enthroned
Temple Under Hell
a step up from their debut. while Night's Black Angel had riffs to offer, it was lacking the refined songwriting that Temple Under Hell has. you can tell a lot more time and thought went into the composition of these songs, and sounds more like a group effort with the members playing off of each other very well. disappointingly, this would be their last album. (and don't let those melodic black metal bands in the "similar artists" section fool you, this shit is evil through and through) https://youtu.be/VmY1FwBgcmA |
| 16 |  | Heresiarch
Death Ordinance
an iron wall of power chords, ravenous battle growls, and blast beats. if you like Blasphemy, you might like this. https://youtu.be/eWMRdkNjDS4 |
| 17 |  | Whiskey Ritual
Blow With the Devil
NEKRO STREET GANG https://youtu.be/FibSNZUHhpo |
| 18 |  | Entheogen
Without Veil, Nor Self
a nightmarish, almost psychedelic trip through black metal. https://youtu.be/V_22TvVMhVg |
