Bathory is mindblowing…. Basically one dude co-inventing black metal and arguably inventing Viking metal…

[@PIZZAdayisback]

No wonder Brutus Bathory made that band's mascot his pfp They were ground breaking in many ways But.... I'm not a big fan of black metal, though I do like death metal so I don't have a good reason why

[@michelegrassi4385]

for me "The Somberlain" has a story of its own and that song can' t be labeled, it's just a masterpiece. You played it perfectly with a great sound, i love that sound !

[@EviLReN3]

What started off as angry and scary has blossomed into something beautiful and spiritual. I love black metal so much!

Agreed. It's a very thoughtful and deep genre

[@Embrod]

He missed opportunity with early Sepultura

[@glacionauta.4542]

​@@EmbrodSepultura is thrash metal or thrash death metal

[@Embrod]

@@glacionauta.4542 so, it's first wave black metal.

[@glacionauta.4542]

@@Embrod I'm Brazilian, and all the shows and interviews that Sepultura gave at the time, they themselves said were *NEVER* black metal or death metal, but thrash metal. For me, saying that sepultura is black metal, is the same thing as saying that slayer and black metal, just because they both talk or have talked about satanism and anti-Christianity in their lyrics, and black metal is characterized by much more than that, so deicide would it be black metal?? No lol, so can you understand that? There are other characteristics about a genre, not just summed up in its lyrics (in addition to the fact that Sepultura only talked about Satanism in the lyrics at the beginning, then it didn't happen anymore)

[@SaturnineXTS]

It's amazing to see how in the early years it basically all sounded like thrash metal but then started gradually evolving BM tropes in the sound

[@metalsnob9815]

As a Pole, got used to Mgła and Batushka(even Evilfeast to some extent) being appreciated internationally, but seeing Odraza in here as well, really warmed my heart

[@noc8218]

[@bradzillarocks]

Great pick for Immortal. That whole album is a masterpiece.

[@Chaosmos_1349]

Agreed. Although I feel like their first album should be on there too. Diabolical Full Moon Mysticism came out before Darkthrone's A Blaze in the Northern Sky and should be noted as the first true bm album to come out of Norway.

[@RonLinfect]

But this not Solarfall

[@Farvann]

Very nice songs you picked! Really appreciate the Fluisteraars riff. Marvelous playing!

Love seeing Ulver getting mentioned. Love that album.

[@tyler_bt3326]

It’s interesting that the pre-mayhem stuff has more in common with thrash metal than black metal we know today

[@Lijoje]

I'm so glad Dawn is in the list. That whole album is so full of dark and melancholic energy. Thank you!

[@chrisdeangelis4616]

Never heard that one before. On the list!

[@kaldnattsagaraz]

I didn't think I'd see Caladan Brood on this list, but I'm very happy you put them here. They're great

Underrated band

[@joesiron2385]

You are like my teacher when it comes to Metal, it is incredible to see how the genre has advanced through the decades proving that it is immortal. I'm going to continue listening to Black Metal because it is what I like to listen to.

[@Evan-900]

Cool list. I had to stop the video at the year 2000 and take a look at what else was on there. We diverge on our taste in black metal right at the year 2000. I counted 4 bands on there that I listen to from that point on. I would drop a different band name in every other years slot. It makes sense that most people are going to agree on stuff pre-2000 because there was far less black metal released in those years. Of course from the turn of the century the genre exploded. The fact that I could have a wildly different list from you and someone else could have a wildly different list from me and you is a real testament to how this genre has evolved and stood the test of time.

[@KonstantinKorovyanskiy]

Great work! But that strange not to hear here Satyricon and Marduk

[@wtvabro]

Hell yeah! I loved your performance of Ritual!

[@wtvabro]

I also loved the Armagedda cover

[@Rhyzomect]

this is so extremely well put together this guy played both rhythm and lead parts of inno a satana in his very tiny sample

[@frigidpony]

Great selection. Dawn - "Slaughtersun..." is one of my favorite albums of the 90's regardless of genre. I always thought Virus West was massively underrated.

[@Grrrem]

So many classics, impossible to be complete but I would have liked to see the black legions with Mutiilation or Deathspell Omega. Thank you for this trip.

[@timothymckane6362]

Ulver's I Troldskog Faren Vild is always my favorite of their black metal songs.

[@JustAnotherHeavyMetalManiac]

Had they continued in the direction of Bergtatt and Nattens Madrigal, they’d probably be my favourite band.

[@nicolasbertin8552]

Quite a nice selection, one big issue is that you're totally missing on Orthodox Black Metal, with Deathspell Omega, Funeral Mist, Blut Aus Nord, Antaeus, Watain...

[@HAGENBETAMERAK]

This was absolutely amazing! Missing some Ancient and Enslaved, IMHO. You rock, dude!

[@Ugleseth]

Enslaved has always proclaimed to not be black metal, so I guess it's okay to leave them out?

[@aaroncoroner5915]

All good, and well done sir! Some obvious notable bands were missing though, no Rotting Christ, no Dimmu Borgir, no Marduk?!?

[@markbaston8147]

No Windir.

[@GAM3R3D]

This list is so much better without any Dimmu Borgir. And you named 3 bands, but you can name many more which are missing, but one band, one year. I think one could do 3 different history of black metal compilation and still would be some missing pieces.

[@barbaradebacco1682]

​@@GAM3R3DStormblast is a masterpiece, dont say that

[@ctiradperunovic]

1993 and 1994 I see like a game changing years when melodic, epic and atmospheric elements have been starting appearing in the black metal, albums like Dark Medieval Times, In The Nightside Eclipse or The Somberlain literally started a new era of the atmospheric and melodic black metal, which to a certain extent changed a very aggressive genre into something beautiful, but at the same time kept its dark and haunting essence.

[@RoboutGuilliman]

Dude - I’m just gonna say your shit kicks ass! I barely watched a couple your “mirror” riffs and all. I could watch all your shit and have flashbacks to the early 80’s hardcore scene- and catch up on all the new dudes. I just got a 7pc and I’m starting from nothing but having a blast. At my age I’m not gonna headline or anything. lol Im digging your shit man! Keep jamming it’s sweet! Fuck yeah!

[@a.frekkr.]

The pieces you picked for the 93-98 era are perfect. - The Somberlain, (one of) the greatest BM melodies ever written, - Inno a Satana, one of the most acclaimed songs in BM history, - Whichever piece from Bergtatt, arguably (to me) the best BM album ever, - Jesus Dod, with the best riff from one of the most acclaimed albums in BM history - Funeral Procession has always defined BM to me. This is what happens when the basics of BM are perfectly executed. - Ride the Wings of Pestilence, from Slaughtersun, one of the most overlooked albums in BM history. A collection of some of the best melodic riffs ever written.

[@alanshufelt392]

Awesome, as always. Hair is looking fabulous. Keep on keepin' on.

After I heard Venom, I was waiting for Sabbat, History of a Time to Come. If they're not Black Metal or an early influence what would you say they are? Not a dig we all miss bands there's a few there in your list I ought to look up. I am curious because my Swedish Black Metal friend really likes Sabbat after I introduced him to them. I like things like that and your videos where you're introduced to something you have missed an think, that sounds interesting, I ought to look them up... 🙂

Too bad there’s no mention of Marduk at all imo. Well, of course you have some choices to make - and tastes are tastes: no discussion about them!

[@bent3736]

Yeah I was thinking about Satyricon too, with how they evolved and pushed boundaries over the years, there'd be several opportunities to include them. But once you start adding bands it's very hard to stop, there are just so many great ones!

As a Christian I don't listen to a lot of the black metal genre. But one thing I admire in it is that it doesn't deny the spiritual reality of the world and beyond. Most bands pick the side of Satan and are honest about it.

Half are genuine pagans. The other half are also probably just fed up of how boring the Bibles Christianity is.
