I kind of like black metal, I got some from an aquaintance.  My favorite band so far is an American band called Windam Hell.  Their album "Reflective Depths Imbibe" is really quite amazing, IMHO.  I also like (I blush to admit) Cradle of Filth, which is, in fact, fake black metal, so that makes me a BM poser.  But prog is way better anyhows...

But the Path of Sorrow is long, so you'd need a thermos bottle to keep the blood warm, and I don't think thermos bottles are black metal... 

You sure about that? I like my blood cold.

Anyway:

I like Burzum & Darkthrone.

Just take some sandwiches with you, so that you avoid the Transsilvanian Hunger along the way.


Thanks for reminding me, it can be tough out there, with all those ugly men in black clothing and all..

No, they wouldn't, and that pisses me off even more. People wouldn't recognize a f**king black metal masterpiece like Anthems or De Mysteriis even if it kicked them in the arse.

"De Mysteriis..." has some really cool riffs . And while the drum parts in Darkthrone are probably the easiest in the world, I'm sure no one would be able to play them the way Fenriz does.

Immortal and Mayhem are probably as "true" as it gets..

"A Grand..." is too techy and polished. As for Immortal - "Bilzzard Beasts" is almost death metal; "At the Heart..." is quite 70s hard rock in its vibe and focus on melody (of course it's still very much a metal album, only not a black metal one). The later stuff... from the little I heard, it is VERY catchy and polished. So both bands have albums in their output that aren't as true BM as it gets...

I think that true BM tolerates some experimentation, but in the end it still has to be raw and violent. I'm quite strict here - Mayhem, Darkthrone, Burzum, early Immortal, early Satyricon, Taake are BM, so is the 'Swedish school' (Marduk, Dark Funeral, Setherial etc.) but e.g. Dissection and Mork Gryning? I know Jon from Dissection is a fanatic, but his music was simply too melodic. Not that it really matters, anyway...

If this is a joke, it's not funny. If you're serious, I'm just sad.

OK, so maybe three DM bands in a hundred don't exactly flatten black metal, they just knock it out. And it's quite doubtful if Deicide still play death metal, so don't start here.

But the rest of what I wrote is no joke; it's very true. You may carry on Walking the Path of Sorrow, Logos.
