Is anyone into raw black metal, like Bathory/Mayhem/Darkthrone/Burzuum ect?

I've been into black metal for most of my life and I'd like to find someone else I can discuss it with.

If you haven't listened to black metal before, here's one of my favourites:



If you don't understand it, don't bash it man.
It's evil and raw. Black Metal is, as they say, an 'acquired taste'.

Here's my definite favorite. I agree, (same goes for all metal sub/genres) people bash it yet, in our opinion, it's pure talent. :c

Its been ages since i listened to any good old black metal, Gorgoroth are pretty good though.

Yeah I'm a huge fan of Gorgoroth, their Antichrist album is probably somewhere in my top ten favourite Black Metal albums.

What did you think of Dark Funeral?

Pretty good, I'm more a fan of 'lo-fi' raw black metal as opposed to well produced stuff though ..but I like them, thanks for sharing dude.

Blood Fire Death is more Viking Thrash.

Not entirely black metal, but incorporates elements.

Why is black metal so weird?

True. I love Bathory's other albums too. Under the sign of the black mark is definitely alot more Black Metal than what Blood Fire Death is, I agree. Blood Fire Death is probably still my favourite Bathory album though. Which is pretty odd for me considering I'm usually more into Black Metal.


Ehh, I don't know about incorporating Black Metal elements. I like Mathcore too luckily, stuff like The Dillinger Escape Plan. Gave it a listen anyhow, It's pretty decent. Too bad I'm going through a prominently Black Metal stage right now otherwise it'd probably be something I'd add to my iTunes. Thanks for sharing, Numbers.


I was going to go into depths about how Black Metal is difficult to understand, and the like. Then I saw your username was 'PhyscoXxXx' and that pretty much instantly branded any opinion you have void. Try listening to Black Metal when you've matured past the age of 14.
