Just 1 band/occurrence in the vast landscape of black metal bands. But I suppose the whole thing does help bring teens towards black metal and stuff. Despite the edgy aspects to black metal and how harsh most of it sounds, it's ironically the most beautiful and relaxing music I've ever heard. Don't give a crap about what's "trve kvlt" or what black metal is "meant" to represent, or any of the political bullshit surrounding some of it. I'm just here to enjoy the music and the music is great. Never in my life have I heard a black metal band I don't enjoy, it's just always good to me.

There was also a rivalry between the Finnish and Norwegian scenes, I don't remember where I read or heard about this but apparently one of the Finnish bands kept calling a Norwegian one (I forget which band for either case) and would play a sped up and reversed tape of nursery rhymes as a joke, which they interpreted as a cryptic death threat made by someone else in Norway.

[@leetorry]

There was but it wasnt a big one. The rivalry was really between death metal, black metal is a reaction to death metal's more cleaner and mainstream evolution during the mid 90s especially when they got in the major labels. Darkthrone did get flak from Finland for releasing a death metal album before their black, which to their eyes made the switch to bm one made for clout ala Post Malone/Vanila Ice. Obviously thats not true tho 😂

I'm just saying if it sounds like it was recorded on anything more expensive than microwaved tape passing through literal dollar store magnets and a paper cone then I don't want it

[@dudesinashoe7812]

Other black metal bands to check out; Carach Angren, Saor, Thulcandra and thantifaxath. I tend to gravitate towards the atmosphere/symphonic ones as opposed to listening to the crinkle of potato chip bags and cellophane

I love the idea of ignorant guides to different genres of rock/metal. Gonna watch them all now!

"Slowly expanding Riffs" - bro, i almost choked laughing. Didnt expect that AT ALL : D

Love the Mac Sabbath image in there 😂 I’ve met the guys in that band and they’re all super cool. Bassist has the best custom basses I’ve seen as well

I do love me some Atmospheric Black Metal. Been listening to Lustre a lot lately, it's pretty calming.

I am the one person in the comments that will bitch about you not mentioning Sarcofago on the first wave of Black Metal and how they were actually the first to use corpse paint. that aside excellent video made me laugh 10/10

[@LordSummerIsle73]

I wouldnt say Ulver was atmospheric black metal, I'd say it was black folk metal

[@theuselessdrunk]

it was not but since the whole video is pure sarcasm you should take that comment with a grain of salt

It’s a pity, of course, that the author did not indicate me as the creator of the black metal warrior who is in the preview, but it’s very nice to see my work :)

LOL well done mate! I very much enjoyed this video

[@moodyblues9675]

Kinda tragic how u put Burzum as dsbm and not as atmospheric, being one of the most influential projects for the subgenre as a whole. I've never seen anyone else catalogue Burzum as dsbm

ok

yeah and mütiilation aswell. I was expecting lifelover or psychonaut 4

[@Bollthorn]

So happy that you mentioned Bal-Sagoth.

[@shybairnsgetnowt]

Best genre but having to background-check essentially every band you come across sucks

man this tiny clip of the guy inhaling the whole joint made me laugh so damn hard
