There are a few Swedish Black Metal bands I like but literally ALL of my top bands are Norwegian, some of them blew me away even before I knew they were from Norway. For example, the band Djevel. I discovered them a few years ago and quickly became my favorite. It was until after I binged a couple of their albums that decided to look up where they hailed from and lo and behold they were Norwegian. Norway just has that dark, evil, sinister, melodic, and beautifuly haunting sound that really put Black Metal on the map in the first place. Sweden, although they make some killer Black Metal they tend to lean more towards that Death Metal sound. I loved this comparison.

[@endrehellandgujord6776]

Oh yes, I totally agree, Djevel is one of my absolute favourite bands. Their most recent album is unbelievably brilliant, I am beyond hyped for the conclusion of their trilogy about the night.

A great video. And thanks to your efforts, the differences between both Schools are evident. I dare to say that Norwegian Black Metal carries a deep influence from German Thrash/Black Metal from the 80's (especially Sodom), something that can be seen on documentaries. But it's evident the influences from traditional Heavy Metal on Swedish Black Metal in many parts. And by the way, I truly hope a part II could be done in some moment.
