10 Albums That Got Me Into Black Metal

[@esotericthanism4180]

NOT FUNNY. DIDNT LAUGH.

[@nicolariva4982]

1. Marduk "Opus nocturne" 2. Emperor "In the nightside eclypse" 3. Satyricon "Dark medieval times" 4. Dissection "Storm of the light's bane" 5. Cradle of Filth "The principle of evil made flesh" 6. Enslaved "Frost" 7. Immortal "Battle in the north" 8. Mahyem "De misteriis dom Satanas" 9. Gorgoroth "Under the sign of hell" 10. Impaled Nazarene "Suomi Finland perkele"

[@CreamyClaws]

I love seeing Enslaved - Frost get some recognition, underrated album.

[@nicolariva4982]

@TheBoi353 it's not black metal

[@nicolariva4982]

@TheBoi353 not agree

[@user-bm3ts2ql6s]

MGLA is what got me into this kind of music.

[@Ghoulstille]

Darkthrone - A Blaze in the Northern Sky Dark Funeral - Vobiscum Satanas Gorgoroth - Twilight of the Idols Carpathian Forest - Defending the Throne of Evil Nattefrost - Blood & Vomit Marduk - Heaven Shall Burn When We are Gathered Genocide Kommando - Black Metal Supremacy Funeral Mist - Salvation Cradle Of Filth - Cruelty and the Beast Dimmu Borgir - Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia Most of these are still in my rotation.

[@benng4376]

My roommate in college first exposed me to black metal at the tender age of 18. I still love the first albums I heard. As a closed minded hardcore kid I was not initially receptive to it but it opened a whole new realm once I shut up and listened. The first two Emperor albums, Darkthrone's unholy trinity, Moonspell "Wolfheart" and Cradle Of Filth "Cruelty And The Beast" still all have a special place in my black heart.

[@philipmaclean1560]

Bathory - s/t Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger Gorgoroth - Antichrist Immortal - Sons of Northern Darkness Behemoth - The Satanist Burzum - Filosofem Venom - Black Metal Dark Funeral - The Secrets of the Black Arts Bathory - Under the Sign of the Black Mark

[@buddyrogers2919]

Gorgoroth: Under the Sign of Hell Venom: Welcome to Hell Cradle of Filth: Nymphetamine Hellhammer: Apocalyptic Rites Dimmu Borgir: Progenies of the Great Apocalypse Bathory: Self Titled Mayhem: Grand Declaration of War Darkthrone: Under a Funeral Moon Burzum: Hvis Iyset Tar Oss Satyricon: The Age of Nero Honorable Mention: Carcass : Heartwork. I know its not black metal but the vocal style got me into black metal.

[@tylerstanley578]

Bands that got me into black metal - glorior belli - venom - ornassi Pazuzu - bathory - nachstmystium - masters hammer - Celtic frost - burzum

[@robbobstone]

Dimmu Borgir's video for "Progenies of the Great Apocalypse" on Headbanger's Ball at like 11 or 12 at night scared the shit out of me when I was a kid...and I was hooked.

[@Nick-zd5gf]

I completely agree with you Moonlover. It's a journey to listen to and It was an important album that changed for 'how' i listened to black metal. I haven't listened to it for years, but I still think it's a good and misunderstood dsbm album.

[@toddtaylor8368]

The first black metal song that got me into it was Enter the Eternal Fire by Bathory and Under the Sign was also first album

[@torchbearer3784]

For me it was Deathcrush by Mayhem around 89/90. The intro,guitar sound and the insane vocals just blew my mind. Why the cover was pink was also a question I had in my head while I was listening to it.

[@thehydrofoilgoat]

My first black metal experience was Grand Belial's Key's Kosherat, funnily enough. I came back to it every now and then over the years along with discovering Mayhem's De Mysteriis. Then I saw your black metal iceberg which led me to Blut Aus Nord's Hallucinogen and Deathspell Omega's Infernal Battles and I've been hooked ever since.

[@gordy3714]

Aeternus And So The Night Became is still one of the greatest extreme metal albums to ever come out of Norway.

[@bluewinter6660]

Diabolical masquerade´s Nightwork is a alltime classic, sadly I just discovered it a few years ago, should have been there since the beginning! A technical masterpiece and full with great riffs and melodies (and drumming of course)

[@Mike-s5v1c]

My first experience of black metal was transylvanian hunger and I remember thinking it was the creepiest shit ever. If only I would have known how far down that rabbit hole I would go haha

[@Doodaegass]

For me it started with Samaelˋs Ceremony of opposites

[@bloodieddeadman6.1.65]

I got into black metal about 6 ish years ago. My first black metal album was mayhems deathcrush. Fell in love with black metal ever since. Btw, appreciate the recommendations dude, you're my go to guy if I wanna look for non- mainstream metal bands. Keep up the good shit my dude. 🤘

[@heavymetalzombiepilot4049]

Emperor-in the Nightside Eclipse and Bathory-Blood, Fire, Death were my first two experiences with black metal.

[@xtransxcorex]

My first few BM bands were Agalloch, WITTR, and I think Mayhem. I'm not the biggest fan but those three are definitely my favorites along with Darkthrone

[@grapperhous4298]

Good list, some very interesting picks, Mines where from oldest to latest: 6) Bethlehem - Dictius Te Necare 5) Agalloch - The Mantle 4)Amenra - Mass IIII 3)Woods of Ypres Woods III: The Deepest Roots and Darkest Blues 2)Taake - Nattestid Ser Porten Vid 1)Deathspell Omega - Paracletus

[@Nekrist218]

I remember getting into Black Metal through Folk Metal, I started listening to Folkish Black Metal bands like Nokturnal Mortum, Windir early Månegarm, etc. Then I got into DSBM and from that point I started looking for everything Black Metal was capable of, being Avant-Garde / Experimental / Dissonant Black Metal the style that surprised me the most (Paracletus was my introduction to that sonic apocalypse).

[@josepablophillips66]

Man I've discovered amazing black metal albums thanks to your channel. Mythen, Maren, Pestilenz is one of my jewels from my collection

[@aod1908]

For me personally, at the heart of winter by immortal has a special place in my heart because the album is what got me into the genre as a whole.

[@DeadgrinCustoms]

My first Gorgoroth album was Under the Sign of Hell. Great album. Funeral Procession was 🔥🔥🔥 My first experience with Summoning was the song Farewell. 🤯 shit blew me away. As far as my first introduction to extreme/Black metal was Cradle of Filth: Dusk and Her Embrace. Then Dimmu Borgir: Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia then Old Man's Child: Born of the Flickering.

[@brycetalksmetal]

Nice, Midian by Cradle of Filth was the first album I really liked that leaned towards black metal, then the first 2 Dissection albums... I’m not super familiar with any of the albums you said after Tsjuder’s so I’ll definitely be checking those out

[@Neverbomb]

Interesting list! Kudos for Nightwork mention, I loved it when it was released, glad to see it gets recognition so many years later! My list would include Dissection "Storm of the Light's bane", Satyricon "Nemesis Divina" and my Hipster BM suggestions would be Solefald "the linear scaffold" and Sadist "Above the light". Keep up the great work!

[@couldntthinkofahandle]

My 10 albums that properly got me in (spanning across a period of time and not in any necessary order) 1. Bathory - Bathory 2. Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger 3. Burzum - Filosofem (one of my favorite albums now) 4. Dissection - Storm of the Light’s Bane (another one of my favorite albums) 5. Emperor - In The Nightside Eclipse 6. Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas 7. Burzum - Burzum + Aske 8. Nokturnal Mortum - The Voice of Steel 9. Satanic Warmaster - Opferblut 10. Peste Noire - La sanie des siècles

[@Misantroph0]

My first contact with black metal was thornography by cradle. From that i constantly fell deeper into the rabbithole that is bm.

[@farhadsurd]

summoning is my best and favorite band of all time

[@Hedonite]

Summoning is a treasure and must be protected at all cost

[@Chudchanning]

Gorgoroth is the shit man, especially their stuff with haat and pest on vocals. I started with burzum when I was like 12, and of course went to mayhem next and dove head first into that story and was pretty fascinated by how evil and esoteric it felt to like black metal. Now days it's nothing to know about it, but in the early/mid 2000s when kids weren't quite online all the time it was still somewhat shocking to the general public. I pretty much stick with most of/all the classic second wave bands and their respective catalogs these days along with some more obscure stuff like tundra, Ethos, and urgehal. But I might end up exploring more modern shit soon enough

[@Mohamedmifxal]

Saw Summoning so I clicked I lost my BM virginity to Vinterland....a band only few knows

[@spongebitchbobface]

If you know Dissection you know Vinterland.

[@Skyder12]

Summoning is so good, my favorite band.

[@morganix007]

For me it was Ulver "Nattens Madrigal",Immortal"Sons of Northern Darkness",Dark Funeral "Diabolus Interium" (blew my soul),Ragnarok "Blackdoor miracle"

[@deadliestassassin3092]

My first experience with black metal was way back in 98/99 when i was shopping at my favorite music store Hastings. I saw this amazing album cover with a pentagram and was kinda scared but curious what it sounded like. I bought it used. Its Hecate Enthroned - The Slaughter Of Innocence, A Requiem For The Mighty. Now go back a couple years before that i saw a used cd but wasnt ready yet. That was Dark Funeral - Secret of the Black Arts. Crimson Moon - To Embrace Vampyric Blood, Ancient - Cainian Chronicle, Emperor - IX Equilibrium, Mayhem - Live in Leipzig, Cradle Of Filth - Cruelty and the Beast, Rotting Christ - Triarchy of the Lost Lovers are some of my introductions to black metal. I was surrounded with alot of extreme music around 98/99 thanks to my curiosity and my friends. We became addicted to music collecting and i'm still collecting music to this day. I'm still collecting stuff from the 90's too. You'd think i've had it all if you seen my collection. Right now i'm getting In Aeternum's 2nd, 3rd and 4th full length s plus few EPs i need. first album i already own. Elysian Fields - Adelain. They're from Greece and really good.

[@alecdawg11]

I'm still very new to black metal, but Dark Funeral is the band that caught my attention. I'd listened to black metal before and never cared for it... But then I listened to Dark Funeral's newest album like 6 month ago and decided to finally fully delve into black metal.

[@mazeoftorment805]

I don’t even remember how I found black metal 😂

[@HexxxDigital]

Same

[@shawnbrucker1697]

For me the obsession started with death metal then I gradually found some black metal I enjoyed. Earliest ones I remember falling in love with were: Megiddo- The Devil and the Whore Solefald- The Linear Scaffold Darkthrone-Transylvanian Hunger Ulver- Nattens Madrigal Mortuary Drape- All the Witches Dance Fairytale Abuse- Her Dark Damnation Summoning-Stronghold Weakling- Dead As Dreams Krallice- Krallice Agalloch- Ashes Against the Grain Pretty good beginnings and honestly all of these still remain towards the top of my list of favorites

[@TheStrongBoyz19]

Very good list. CountBlagorath was the one that got me into it. I'm still diving into the genre and discover more of the bands with their music in this style.

[@bjrnbihlet454]

Back in 1994 - Darkthrone “under a funeral moon” ... 15 at the time

[@blastbeetb.3045]

Leviathan's "Tenth Sublevel of Suicide" was the first black metal album that made me love the genre. Transylvanian Hunger is the album that sealed the deal! P.S check out HWWAUOCH! Some of the best BM I've ever heard.

[@Sentient6ix]

Moon lover is a guilty pleasure of mine. I ordered a copy before they got picked up by nuclear blast, and i really enjoy the listen. Don't have much black metal now that my collection was stolen from me a couple years ago. Not too motivated to replace it since then.

[@AtrocityEquine01]

I got into black metal thanks to Bumzur and Mayham and Dankthrone. But your thoughts on Gorgoroth is how I feel about Mayhem. Not too big on them (like a bit of De Mysteriis and Deathcrush, love the Dead era), but I still like them for being for my first. Also WATCH OUT, You enjoy DsO, People are gonna REEEE. I'd say my albums were: Burzum - Aske Mayhem - Deathcrush/De Mysteriis Dom Santhanas Darkthrone - A Blaze in the Northern Sky Leviathan - The Tenth Sub-Level of Suicide Lifelover - Erotik Hypothermia - Veins

[@Art_Vandalay97]

Mayhem, dark funeral, and Bathory were my starters but right now early behemoth, Darkthrone, and Craft are my favorite

[@reishaddmor8657]

For me the 8 albums were Leviathan - Scar Sighted Lurker of Chalice - Lurker of Chalice(this the main one that got me into black metal) Every album burzum released from 1991 to 1996 basically Peste Noire - Peste Noire Anaal Nathrakh - The Whole Of The Law Myrkur - Maredit(i dont like myrkyr anymore but when i was new i loved her) Those were my first eight after that i started diving way deeper and got into bands like Deathspell Omega, Batushka, Cult of Fire, Panopticon, Muumuüre, Aquilus, Pensées Nocturnes, etc... Ps ive only been into black metal for a year

[@irockmajorly]

Damn, starting with lurker? Probably my favorite black metal, ever

[@reishaddmor8657]

@@irockmajorly yup ☺ leviathan was my very first black metal band but its the same guy so haha but once i heard the lurker of chalice album i knew i had to find out what this genre was all about

[@TonyMajo]

Most of these came out around the same time, about a year after I started getting into extreme metal. Watain - Lawless Darkness Castavet - Mounds of Ash Drudkh - Handfull of Stars Immortal - Sons of Northern Darkness The Howling Wind - Into the Cryosphere Negative Plane - Stained Glass Revelations

[@AnthonyAllen-m1p]

I’m a little bit late to the comment game on this one lol.. But this is my top 12 albums that got me into Black Metal is. 1. Dark Funeral - Secrets Of The Black Arts, 2. Behemoth - Thelema 6, 3. Satanic Warmaster - Nachzehrer, 4. Immortal - Sons Of Northern Darkness. 5. Tsjuder - Kill For Satan. 6. Cradle Of Filth - Cruelty And The Beast. 7. Venom - Black Metal. 8. Watain - Lawless Darkness. 9. Dissection - The Somberlain. 10. Gorgoroth - Pentagram. 11. Destroyer 666 - Unchain The Wolves . 12. Archgoat - Angelcunt

[@midwesternabyss679]

My first exposure to black metal was when I was 16, and I bought a copy of A Blaze in the Northern Sky on CD. I put it in my portable CD player, listened to the first few songs, and returned it LOL. At the time it was just so fucking otherworldly and raw sounding. Something I wasn't quite ready for at the time, so I feel you on what you said about Gorgoroth.

[@scottlosey4978]

I am 52 and just started getting into black metal......a lifelong Black Sabbath, ACDC, Motorhead fan that has grown weary from listening to those same albums and bands of s similar ilk after 40 plus years...Jesus Christ, I NEVER need to hear Paranoid, Crazy Train, Ace OF Spades, Back In Black, Run To The Hills, etc EVER again. I started my black metal experience last summer with, predictably, Freezing Moon with Dead. As I pursued exploring new black metal bands, the history of, especially, Mayhem and Darkthrone (Fenriz seems to be the go to black metal musician for journalists) has been extremely interesting. From Mayhem, I went directly to the "Unholy Trinity" with Darththrone...big fan of TO Walk The Infernal Fields and The Hordes of Nebula. I am currently interested in Wrest or Mr Jef Whitehead and Leviathan. I know that they are not black metal, but I have also started blasting Electric Wizard lately as well. My wife of 947 years yells at me from another room, "Turn that demonic sounding bullshit down!" Haha.....the heaviest band she listens to is Def Leppard!

[@ozzlayer]

My first introduction was in 1994: Dissection - The Somberlain. To this day is still one my favorite albums.Internet back then did not exist for me. So i went to a black-metal/death metal show and i saw a guy with a cardboard box full of xtreme metal albums for sale and he told me "these guys are good" so i trusted him and bought the CD (a ripped CD, not the original). It did not disappointed me.

[@kcrich1310]

Dissection's The Somberlain and Storm of the Light's Bane along with Emperor's In the Nightside Eclipse.

[@angalothenminnas60]

I started with Limbonic Art - In Abhorrence Dementia (1997) Then I found Summoning. I can't point just one album, but ok, Summonings ''Stronghold'' made me falling in love in BM.

[@kdbrown777]

Fair enough with Ghost Bath, Deafheaven was one of the first bands that got me into black metal even though I wouldn't call them TRVE CVLT yaddy yadda elitist bullshit. But good music is good music, and they were one of the bands that eased me into the genre and I went from there.

[@cultnine]

Oh fuck, your story of Gorgoroth had me dying! My experience was very similar. That's great man lol

[@johngavin1175]

Emperor-Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk(my first Bm purchase) Immortal-Pure Holocaust Cradle of Filth-Dusk and Her Embrace Averse Sefira-Battle's Clarion Gorgoroth-Pentagram Absu-Third Storm of Cynthraul Darkthrone-Ravishing Grimness Satyricon-Nemisis Divina Sigh-Scorn Defeat Fog-Through the Eyes of Night I have always wanted to check out Deathspell Omega...

[@miken9553]

Ten of my favorites in no order: 1. Satyricon - Rebel Extravaganza 2. Dissection - Storm of the Light’s Bane 3. Emperor - Anthems... 4. Immortal - At the Heart of Winter 5. Watain - Legions of the Black Light 6. Gorgoroth - Ad Majorem... 7. Dissection - Reinkaos 8. Gorgoroth - Quantos... 9. Thorns - Self titled from 2001 10. Dark Funeral - Where Shadows Forever Reign Honorable mention: Burzum

[@manuelmarini4688]

Mine: Bathory-Blood fire death/Under the sign of the black mark/Nordland Darkthrone-Transilvanian hunger/Under a funeral moon Satyricon-Nemesis divina/Dark medieval times Burzum-Det som engang var/Hvis lyset tar oss Cradle of filth-Dusk and her embrace/The priciple of evil made flesh Immortal-Diabolical fullmoon mysticism/Battles in the north Emperor-In the nightside eclipse Enslaved-Frost Gorgoroth-Antichrist Absu-Barathrum V.I.T.R.I.O.L.

[@TBombz]

When I was 17, I got introduced to Darkthrone from doing a plumbing job at this dude's crazy house (den would be more accurate). He had huge bighorn ram skulls mounted on the wall and candelabra's everywhere. The walls were black and lightfixtures were all this maroon red so you hardly see shit in the place. One thing I noticed in his massice CD collection was this band with bright white text called "Darkthrone". First album was "Under a funeral moon" and for my Melodeath loving ass, that was a bit unsettling at first, especially coming from that house. Dissection would be the band that warned me up to Black Metal eventually and now it's the majority of what I listen to. That extreme metal station on GTA 4 LaD had some real good stuff and I think "Call from the grave" was on it so Bathory was another early one.

[@jacobs6456]

My first introduction to black metal was from my brothers friend, he showed me Mayhem and told me all about their history. Been hooked ever since.

[@devboyd1783]

For me the most "metal" music I heard was three days grace, nickleback and 80s rock stations that repeated a list of the same artists nearly everyday. Until my nerdy self watched a Soul Calibur 3 KZbins video... They played Kovenant - Mirrors paradise and Psyclon Nine - Parasite. Then I was hooked on LOUD stuff, fast forward 10 years... it turned into Bathory, Darkthrone, Mutiilation, Satyricon. Etc.

[@joeyuzwa891]

my albums that got me into black metal Ancient Satanic Rituals Re Crushed to Dust by Hortor Hellig Usvart by Horde Handful of Stars by Drudkh The Dark Hereafter by Winterfylleth URD by Borknagar (I still adore this album) Kodama by Alcest Sons of Northern Darkness by Immortal Bathory by Bathory Diadem of 12 Stars by Wolves in the Throne Room

[@iamnoone5614]

Emperor-nightside eclipse Borknagar-Borknagar Gorgoroth-Pentagram Mayhem-live in Leipzig Dark Funeral-secrets of the black Arts Graveland-glare of burning churches Immortal-pure Holocaust Samauel-Worship Him Burzum-Filosofem Arcturus-Aspera heims symfonia

[@thomashverring9484]

Mayhem. I was in school when all hell broke lose in Norway with burning churches, murder, etc. I played Black Metal in the mid nineties (and still do). At the same time I heard Emperor, Samael, Enthroned, Impaled Nazarene, Dimmu Borgir (For All Tid and Stormblåst-when they were still old school), Dark Funeral (of course! their incessant blast beats were very much a stylistic choice that many Black Metal bands used, but, yes, they become a little boring), and the very first Cradle of Filth (they changed a lot and not to the better). But Mayhem will always be my number one!

[@thomashverring9484]

Bathory is also very high on my list but I didn't hear Bathory till later. Same as Hellhammer/Celtic Frost.

[@bmoremetal]

My uncle introduced me to Under the Sign of the Black Mark. After that I got The Return an I was in love with the genre after that. I mostly like the genre because of the dark occultic atmosphere.

[@the_trash_mane5875]

What got me into black metal was a bro in 8th grade I shit you not. He showed me a band from Greece called Dødsferd and at the time I thought it was badass. Then Behemoth and Darkthrone were the two generic ones that followed. Dissection,Burzum, Mgla, and Deathspell Omega hit that black metal sweet spot for me so that got me hooked.

[@flamensteinsdankmemestash]

Belphegor - Lucifer Incestus Cradle of Filth - Damnation and a day. These two albums introduced me to black metal really.

[@michaelelwell5788]

16 friend showed me dimmu and cradle of filth then by 18 arctrus

[@pavlinvalentinov381]

First time i listen to black metal was immortal - all shall fall and i dont like it . Then two months later i try again with some darkthrone (the first 3 albums) in a dark room with open door during winter and from that day on im in love with black metal .

[@adamcole128]

Believe it or not my first taste of black metal was mayhem. It was back when all the church burnings were happening and back then, before the internet or even myspace. And it was still kinda scary back then and me and my friends wanted to see what it was all about.. then we found darkthrone and satyricon.. and now. I love black metal.

[@jessekellerthecollectingne5058]

For me it was the early stuff like venom, hellhammer, mercyful fate, Celtic frost, etc.

[@funhat900]

Burzum - Burzum Terra Tenebrosa - The Reverses Botanist - Suicide Tree My current favorite band is Carach Angren.

[@hellgrinder2941]

th band that got me into black metal was rotting christ and then behemoth but the band that made me love the genre was immortal

[@_________-_______]

The first black metal I ever listend to was Filosofem by burzum and that was because my dad always used to tell me about some crazy band that burned churches and shit. So when I was like 12 I searched for this alleged band that burned churches and low and behold I found a wikipedia article about the church burnings. Listed amongst one of the perpetrators was the name Varg Vikernes and yeah you can basically see where this is going.

[@billybishop1997]

In the Nightside Eclipse by Emperor got me into black metal.

[@oldpotatoman4838]

I got introduced to more underground (more underground than Metallica) metal via my manager at work. he introduced me to the album Full of Hell and Merzbow, still my favorite metal album

[@sagenator1272]

De mysteriis dom sathanas made me go "You son of a bitch, I'm in"

[@rodgill9376]

Bands that got me into black metal were: Mayhem, Gorgoroth, Immortal, Enslaved, Limbonic Art, Emperor, Ceremonial Castings, Watain, Cradle of Filth (lame I know) and Dimmu Borgir. The rest was history afterwards.

[@MG42Qlippoth]

I clicked on your video because I saw Summoning - Minas Morgul CD cover

[@Stumpfization]

My first black metal album and still my favorite to this date is 'Suici.de.pression' by Thy Light. Edit: I found it by hearing the term 'Depressive Suicidal Black Metal' somewhere and then looking it up and first it was weird but i found myself always coming back for it. Didn't take long for me to explore more in the genre.

[@Count_Deangeli]

I was watching this video wandering why didn't u start like everybody else with the classics - Bathory, Mayhem, Darkthrone. "In The Nightsight Eclispse" did it for me - it clicked with me on the second listen and I became BM fan probably for life.

[@thatsprettylunchean]

I was a big thrash-metal-idiot in my puberty, like, until my 14-15 the only thing I was listened to were thousands of Thrash/Crossover metal bands that in the vast majority sounded all the same, until I found about extreme metal bands thanks to video of some guy shitting on Slipknot for being a poser band and putting examples of what was " true metal " and right there i get exposed to bands like Dead Infection, Holy Moses and well, a black metal one a think it was 1349 and it sounded to noisy for my thrash ears at that time. And after that, I get exposed to a lot of black metal bands like Satyricon, Immortal and other really underground bands from Czech Republic or something like that in a video called " The most ridiculous black metal videoclips " or something like that haha

[@Feralpizza__]

I was enjoying the video but I have to disagree with the part where you said “ the Grateful Dead’s first album was the first black metal album ever “ at 48:57

[@arootintootincowboy233]

Mayhem - chimera is my favorite black metal album

[@jailenbailey]

The Spirit has to be my favorite black metal band

[@thekotabear3262]

"I don't like this, it's too extreme." Is what I said about every progressively harsher and harsher types of metal that I listened to in highschool that I love now. Funny how that works lol

[@spaghettisploitation1029]

Dimmu with I.C.S. and Mustis.... Ahhh, that's a name I haven't heard in a long time...

[@Ilnath]

The first time i got introduced to BM was some time in 1996/1997 i was 15 years old and there was a documentary about it tv. I thought it sounded like shit😆 ... Some years later i became a huge fan of bands like Opeth and Katatonia. And then it snowballed me to BM..

[@stuuubbs7782]

Watain- sworn to the dark That was my first back in 2014

Still need to really get used to raw black metal. I listen to some stuff here and there, especially first wave stuff, but I am not fully into the genre yet.

[@heelstevenmaggle5615]
