Saturday Night Black Metal Thread
How's your Saturday? Listening to black metal all alone again?
With some weed of course https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJgi6fZkrjI
>>71529046
Sounds very nice. That's my favorite Drudkh album.
But for some reason I can only listen to black metal when I'm sober. It's all very unappealing to me when I'm high and I'd always rather listen to IDM. But when I'm sober the only music I listen to is Black Metal. I don't know why, but maybe just because I'm happier on drugs and want to listen to music that evokes that mood.
>>71529250
Thats funny. I always thought black Metal made an exceptional ammount of room for stoner music in a dadrock way.
Any Black Metal bands like Burzum ?
>>71529046
>>71529250
I think the two are a great combo, bud and bm. I feel like the atmosphere in the music is really greatly enhanced. I'm a bit high listening to pic related while the gf and her sister are playing vidya next to me. p chill 2bh
>>71528929
Does Apocalyptic Raids by Hellhammer count as Black Metal or is it more thrash?
>>71529340
there are a lot...check out Hoffnungstod by wigrid
>>71529340
none
not a single one
>>71529350
theres a lot of Black/Thrash/Death crossover though. Look at Destroyer 666,early Sepultura,Bathory,Aura Noir,Absu,or Sabbat
>>71529340
While none of these are as good as Burzum, they are some of the best Burzum-worship that I've heard.
Wigrid - Die Asche Eines Lebens
Paysage d'Hiver - Kristall & Isa
Draugurz - A Yell From the Past
Evilfeast - Funeral Sorcery
>>71529350
It's more like a thrashy proto-black but I'll count it since it's good shit. I kinda lump it in with nifelheim and sarcofago to some extent in that its black and thrashy
>>71529342
oh whoops I just realized I forgot the pic
>>71529420
Berzum is overrated as fuck desu
>>71529719
I can understand people not liking Burzum. There is lots of good black metal out there, and tons of different styles. Still, I've listened to hundreds of black metal albums and none have compared to Hvis Lyset Tar Oss or Filosofem.
>>71529719
Burzum is both overrated and kind of a meme but also actually really good and important. The two aren't mutually exclusive. Merzbow, for instance, is a good meme but he's also a really influential and interesting artist
I feel like people just like namedropping him because its edgy. I don't think he earned it. I think Emperor and Mayhem and some of those other bands would have been big regardless of the nazi shit or euronymouses stalinism or any of that. Berzum was just the poster boy for marketable controvercy. I'll admit bands like Peste Noire and Graveland may have been bigger even without there nazism or that people would still give a fuck about Mayhem if they hadn't been fucking mental. Varg didn't do anything Bathory hadn't already done. Varg is just a edgy celebutaunt. The new L.I.E. album or maybe old chief keef of the music industry of the early 90s. People don't give a fuck about L.I.E. the love and terror cult just the fact charles manson made it. People don't care about Cheef Keef they care that he kills people and is a gang member. Without that shock value those would be nobodies. Artists like this scare parents in the suburbs. If young Timmy listens to Cheef Keef or Berzum or Narco Corridos or whatever the fuck it scares mommy into thinking he's going to shoot up the school which makes timmy happy. Berzum pales in comparison to Mayhem and Bathory and Venom and Enslaved and Darkthrone etc.
>>71529852
this is about 80% incorrect. Those folks who are just getting into black metal sometimes like Varg for the edge factor. But dude it's like you're not even hearing the music...Burzum basically created the bedrrom bm aesthetic. He had a new kind of rawness and atmospheric quality that was truly unique. Burzum may have many meme qualities but you can't ignore that there are a thousand bands out there are still trying to sound like him
>>71529920
The minimalism was being done by Von and Bathory amoung others before him and a lot of bands Berzum gets credited with inspiring seem like they were really inspired by Ulver or Immortal. The only good Berzum inspired bands I can think of are graveland and Drudkh,
>>71529852
mayhem was pretty shit t b h, only good thing they really made was deathcrush.
>>71529852
Varg also brought Nazi Boneheads into the scene and inspired a couple 100,000,000 hippster as fuck shitty post rock pretentious bands. Varg is why reddit loves Black Metal.
>>71529968
The minimalism is a basic tenet of black metal, yes, but I mean recording everything on a headset mic takes things to a different level. I feel like he kind of opened the door for a lot of solo acts to just do their thing.
>>71529993
I mean I don't like any of that stuff either necessarily but isn't it a pretty profound impact?
>>71529978
>Reply to Thread No.71528929
I thought none of there albums captured the magic of the first but that they were all pretty fucking good desu. Berzums discog completely turns to shit after Filosofem. Mayhem may not have as many good albums but quantity does not equal quality or impact.
>>71530074
>can't into dungeon synth
>>71530066
Yeah but it's also a fucking awful one that no one would be really celebrating otherwise. By that logic we should all be listening to Dimmu Borgir.
>>71530087
Dungeon synth is fucking goofy boring nerd shit that sounds completely cartoonish and outdated tho.
>>71529993
Varg isn't a nazi.
>>71530096
I kinda like early dimmu...
>>71530125
early dimmu is good don't listen to elitist idiots
>>71530116
that's the whole point though
>>71530141
I've been listening to bm for like 6 years so I'm not really concerned about if other people question my tastes. I think with bm, as with all music, there's a lot of diversity and a lot of stuff to dislike. I've come to appreciate all sorts of black metal for all sorts of reasons so I mean I don't mind if people disagree with me. It doesn't decrease my enjoyment. I think if you take it, or anything, too seriously it'll really get in the way of your enjoyment
>>71530141
>>71530125
Early Dimmu is better then great early Dimmu is fucking amazing. Same goes for Berzum though. The shit lost all of its steam.
>>71530200
I don't really mind either I'm just sort of an agresive personality
>>71530200
>for like 6 years
>>71530274
I'm only 22 so I mean I guess that number of years will be more impressive as time goes by...also I guess it's more like 7 years by now
>>71530243
yeah the thing with dimmu borgir is they started to go the way of more symphonic metal type stuff in their later releases which while is nice to listen to loses the "rawness" that most bm fans expect of the genre
NAME 1 GOOD BLACK METAL ALBUM
>>71530331
well it happens. I tend not to like when bands veer too far away from tradition since a lot of the time they just seem to get worse. Like Behemoth, whose early stuff is great old school bm but who now makes fairly standard death metal
>>71530362
evanescence - fallen
>>71530362
horn - jahreszeiten
>>71530362
Liturgy lol
>>71530388
oh shit thats actually good and black metal
>>71530396
memes aside I enjoy Liturgy here and there
>>71530423
4chan: where it comes as a surprise when people actually answer your question properly
>>71530388
I hate the production on this album
the drums sound like someone hitting a plastic bucket
Have some essential black metal listening.

>But for some reason I can only listen to black metal when I'm sober. It's all very unappealing to me when I'm high and I'd always rather listen to IDM
I'm the opposite, I'll listen almost exclusively to black metal or other similar shit when I'm high while I'll listen to a much greater variety of stuff sober. Black metal is great for me when I'm high because of its relative simplicity and atmosphere, anything more complex just gets confusing
>>71530116
that is literally why it's good
>I like black metal but I hate goofy outdated nerd shit
UNTRVE
>>71530606
I prefer Blood.Fire.Death. and the venom discography but ok
>>71530696
I mean Dungeon Synth doesn't have as much meat to it or much cool about it really. Just to be clear I love the fuck out of Summoning.
Enslaved is better then Emperor
>>71530483
to each their own
>>71530690
bm is indeed nice and simple. I think simplicity kind of creates atmosphere in a way
>>71530775
maybe a more solid overall discog, yeah, but emperor released god tier shit
>>71530722
I always felt venom was a bit too campy, and blood fire death while I enjoy it I'm not really a fan of the viking metal stuff.
anyway I was just sharing a few albums, not all of the important bm releases.
>>71530823
I mean Satirycon sold out so its not cool to say they were good but they were fucking good during most of the 90s.
>>71530838
there's no such thing as too campy in bm
>>71530838
Because Satan is a super serious thing you guyz
>>71530778
>I think simplicity kind of creates atmosphere in a way
Yeah, that's one of my favorite things about the genre. A lot of it is very hypnotic and draws you in with repetition
Of course the problem is that this leads to a million shitty unoriginal bedroom acts popping up poorly attempting to copy Burzum
>>71530930
Berzum was shitty bedroom bathory though
>>71530986
I don't think burzum sounds much like bathory, neither does mayhem
Neat ass thread. Pic related is a solid demo record from a AZ band
>>71531138
name?
>>71530429
you shouldn't
Has anyone listened to this new Striborg album yet? I'll probably give it a spin tonight, though I'm not expecting much since This Suffocating Existence wasn't very good.
what's the most depressing black metal you guys know? I'd have to say Gris
>>71531268
Dude just image search
>>71531389
no but I fucking should
There any Absu fans on here?
I've been into black metal for about a year know and i've been trying to delve into more obscure bands. My favorites have been darkthrone, bathory, burzum, coldworld, drudkh, falls of rauros, mayhem,
leviathian, ulver, and wolves in the throne room. Can I get recs based off that.
>>71531787
dark funeral?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZSGpmun9uI
>>71531820
I've heard of them but never really gave them a shot. But, this is pretty good.
>>71531787
Peste Noire
Alcest
Agalloch
Negura Bunget
Vallendusk
Peste Noire
Iskra
Impaled Nazerine
Falkenbach
Wyrd
Sale Freux
Autarcie
Inquisition
>>71531856
if you want older shit their 1996 album "the secrets of the black arts" is good
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqWwst8D9d8
this song is my go to when I get high
>>71531874
Shit thanks, this is why these threads are so much better then /metal/
>>71531913
/Metal/ tends to attract generic fuckboys with small penis complexes as opposed to cool people.
anyone else agree this is their best?
>>71531973
I prefer Diabolical fullmoon mysticism
>>71530986
what the fuck are you talking about? name a bathory song that sounds like my journey to the stars, or ea lord of the deeps.
>>71531787
>Gris
>Xasthur
>Wedard
>Austere
>Alcest (not strictly black metal)
>Fanisk
>Taake
>Inquisition
>Silencer
>Shining (especially IV and V)
>Strid
>Walknut
>Nyktalgia
I tried to list mostly atmospheric type stuff since from your list it seems like you're more into that but there's some more aggressive stuff in there as well
>>71531987
That's probably my second fav, the production is a little off putting for me.
>>71531787
Here's something different you might enjoy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TE6WWacPlY
>>71531973
Battles in the North is better.
>>71531437
Some Xasthur albums are so bleak, they destroy me.
someone recommend me the rawest, noisiest, most abrasive shit out there that still maintains some semblance of being black metal
>>71531874
>Peste Noire twice cause they're just that great
>>71532461
Holy shit I've never seen ...And End mentioned outside the times I searched for it myself. Perfect.

Add a little dose of punk and you get Sludge.
or blackened sludge in that case
If you smoke weed like a useless addict just FUCK OFF
Black metal isn't for you
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SC6DvbEVHcI
>>71535073
Have i failed my 15 year old metalhead self if i like modern Ulver albums better now?
Bands that take heavy influence from immortal? Specifically At the heart of winter. I need more of that shit
Also its been years since I've actively searched for new black metal because most of begins to quite samey. What are some of the more recent, distinctly quality bands?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnjH-ZYe59c
>>71535422
fuck off nowadays black metal
I don't listen to black metal because I'm not a faggot virgin who never gets pussy, doesn't bathe, and suffers from some form of autism
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bUle4zMYqE
Picked up some cds at a fair yesterday. Plague Angel & Opus Nocturne by Marduk, Emperor/Wrath of the Tyrant by Emperor & Dark Funeral's debut.
>>71535536
wtf I like REO speedwagon now
Does anyone here do vocals and have a recording set-up?
I need some vocals done on a track of mine.
I asked Reddit and got lots of replies, but it sounds like everyone is too busy to start right away.
>>71535589
I use a logitech mic, it's garbage. I originally wanted someone else to do vox for me but got tired of waiting around. Sometimes you just have to do thingd yourself.
>>71535589
Might be the obvious shit answer but do you need a recording setup for black metal? Won't your phone or a headset do it just like they did in the 90s?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJeLYvc7sXk
>>71535609
I have a mic too but the problem is that I'm in an apartment in the middle of the city and I don't want my neighbours to think I'm a whack job.
(They're all Chinese and Indians, even if I explain to them the situation, they wouldn't "get" it)
>>71535224
>weed
>addict
Apex kek. Get fucked you puritan little faggot, metal isn't for you.
>>71535589
I can do vocals any time. My style is a mix of Quorthon, Nocturno Culto, Dead and Xasthur, if that's anything like you're looking for
>>71535660

You're a fucking addict, literally end your life.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcsVp0A4Vik
Can anyone actually understand DSBM vocals? I've been listening to it for like 8 years now and I still have no idea what these shrieks are supposed to be.
>>71535630
Could find a cave or some secluded countryside like Striborg, bring a portable recorder to a cheap rehearsal space....
>>71535661
We can give it a try if you want?
I'm not even sure what kind of vocals would work with this track, it is a little "pop black metal" sounding.
Do you have an email address or something I can contact you on?
So far, not a single good album has been posted yet
thus proving that black metal is irredeemable garbage
>>71535680
Lunar Poetry by Nokturnal Mortum is one of my fave albums. Yet to give this a try.

Black metal is a phase, once you're over 17 you'll grow out of it
For those of you who are over that age....there is no hope for you, you will forever be an unkempt dungeons and dragons geek for the rest of your life
Black metal is basically babby's first music
hopefully you'll grow out of it soon enough

Say about Burzum what you want, but Jesus' Tod is the best and most important song in black metal history.
