GrandDesigner Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I LOVE black metal! A lot of these bands seem to consider the atmosphere of the music more important than the music, so that's why the recordings always sound hideous. I guess it amplifies the dark, depressed, icy mood they're trying to capture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circumstantial tree Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Given my mood, I should put on some Venom later. Yeah, their album titled "Black Metal". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonicjams Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 black metal rules especially this time of year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonicjams Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 and also venom created the black metal look and the black metal production but you listen to something like burzum or even mayhem beyond their first demos and no black metal sounds like venom venom was hugely influential but you can hear more influence by bands like hellhammer, celtic frost, and even thrash groups like sodom, destruction, kreator, sarcofago, early early sepultura in the black metal bands of the 90s and the black metal bands of today. i will say to anyone into metal who cant get into bm, keep trying. first time i heard black metal i was 12 or 13 and i thought it sucked cause it wasnt anything like metallica/iron maiden/stuff i was used to. but once i started listening to bathory i realized that this genre is great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadwing2112 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 If I'm in the mood I am inclined to throw on some Burzum, Darkthrone, or Ulver. But like I said, I have to be in the Black Metal mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J0N Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Good Drone is ace. Chilling out and listening to some in the dark, ridiculously loud is great to do once in a while. There is a lot of crap, mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod in Toronto Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Wow, this is the first time I saw this thread! Props to Steevo for the bump!! I´m not really into Black Metal, but I travel to Norway a lot for work, and was lucky to catch Enslaved live once, it was awesome! The next time I´m there I´ll see if I manage to go see one of those true corpse-painted black metal bands like Emperor, Immortal etc. They used to have a Black Metal festival in Bergen every year, but they stopped doing that because it was always the exact same bands. either way, Norwegians are proud of having so many bands of this style. By the way, I suggest you check out this awesome website called the "Vegan Black Metal Chef" - hilarious stuff!!1 http://veganblackmetalchef.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
