Dismal Euphony Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 It's awesome. Enough said. xD Anyone else share my love for it? My personal favorites, just to name a few, are Peste Noire, Fen, Vinterland, Coldworld, Ragnarok, Brocken Moon, Mortifera, Naglfar, Azaghal, Ceremonial Castings, and Vintersemestre. :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic FrostDarkthroneAt the GatesThe Black Dahlia MurderAbnormalityGorgoroth.... Lol.[/quote'] They're decent. Except for Darkthrone. I can't stand Darkthrone. Some Burzum is good, and Gorgoroth is GOOD stuff. As for your list, Gorgoroth and Darkthrone are the only black metal bands present. Celtic Frost = Thrash... Even though there's some black metal influence.At The Gates = Melodic death metal.Black Dahlia Murder = Crappy metal/deathcore.Abnormality = Death/Grind. Unless you're talking about an Abnormality I haven't heard yet... But, if you're talking about the Abnormality from the USA, they're definitely death/grind.

But Tech Death is still mah fav genre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And whoever led you to believe the others were black metal led you wrong. Tech. Death is also great stuff, but that's a whole different topic. xD Also, I noticed you added a few bands to the list. I don't know if Mortifa is a typo or I just haven't heard of them, but Bal-Sagoth and Sear Bliss are AMAZING. Axis of Advance are good as well, but they're not my favorite band in the world.

Metal Paradox Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Well...I kind of guess and listen to the differences between Death and Black Metal bands. Black Metal- Has alot more High-Pitch vocal sections than death.Death- Ridiculously Low-Pitched moans and growls (which is why it's so unique and so easy to identify from other music genres.) And Black Metal albums all look the same.....basically... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for the generic black metal bands... They typically look the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Paradox Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Death Metal Text is usually more readable....some black metal album art is so funked up, I can't read a single letter..... And it Pisses me off xD Like when ever Here Comes The Kraken makes an album, it's vurtually impossible to read.... But HCTK is deathcore isnt it....

Dismal Euphony Posted August 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 xD That's the beauty of it! And yeah... HCTK is definitely deathcore. But, at least they're decent deathcore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dismal Euphony Posted August 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Both great black metal bands. If you enjoy Tsjuder, check out Ragnarok. They share a drummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death Metal Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Black Metal = epic win Bands such as Ragnarok, Grand Belial's Key, Deathspell Omega, and Nun Slaughter are the best of the best in the genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EPIC. To be honest, I was never a huge fan of Nunslaughter. They're not bad, just not my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark One Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 I don't care for Black Metal to be honest. I think that Dimmu Borgir is decent, but that's really the extent of my involvement in Black Metal. My spectrum within the more extreme genre's of metal tends to limit itself to Melodeth and Melodic Metalcore. (I like Arch Enemy, Kalmuh, Amorphis, the Agonist, All that Remains, Straight Line Stitch, Demon Hunter, etc.) But mostly, I listen to symphonic stuff. (I'm a fan of Kamelot, Nightwish, After Forever, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They started out like melodic/symphonic black metal, but I just don't know anymore. The black metal influences are becoming harder and harder to recognize. I'm also a huge fan of melodeath. Kalmah and Amorphis are GREAT. Arch Enemy used to be amazing, but they started going downhill since Doomsday Machine came out. For melodeath, I recommend you check out Mors Principium Est, Persefone, and Nightrage if you haven't already. As for symphonic stuff, I love that as well. Lol. Nightwish and After Forever are SO good. I'm also a fan of some of Theater of Tragedy's material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octavian Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 I dont really like Black Metal all that much. I prefer Technical Death Metal and Prog. And a little Thrash. The only Black Metal bands I frequent are: Ragnarok and Gorgoroth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HORUS Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Only black metal band I can stand listening to is Immortal because their music is actually well recorded and you can actually hear the instruments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You obviously haven't delved too deep into black metal... There are actually A LOT of black metal bands that are well recorded and their instruments are clearly heard. Check out Ragnarok, Ceremonial Castings, Naglfar, Vinterland, and Marduk. As for Immortal... The only album I really could get into was Sons of Northern Darkness. The rest were mediocre, IMO.
