Two things about this list. First, I like seeing you pay homage to the classics. Second, for recognizing the newer wave; Ruins of Beverast have an impressive catalog. And of course, Ms Swift. Shake it off is some of the most ominous, depressive, yet atmospheric three minutes of BM I believe we'll ever hear.

I'll do my top 5 favs(for now). 1. Darkthrone - Under a Funeral Moon (Blaze is close) 2. Mütiilation - Vampires of Black Imperial Blood 3. Abigor - Verwüstung / Invoke the Dark Age 4. Bathory - Under the Sign of the Black Mark (close with The Return.....) 5. Forgotten Woods - As the Wolves Gather
No particular order but here's a couple of my favourites Obtained Enslavement - Witchcraft Blut Aus Nord - Memoria Vetusta III Immortal - Battles in The North Abigor - Nachthymnen Rebirth of Nefast - Tabernaculum Antlers - A Gaze Into The Abyss Akhlys - The Dreaming I Bethlehem - Dictius Te Necare Panopticon - Roads To The North Wolves In The Throne Room - Two Hunters Emperor - Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk Havukruunu - Havulinnaan Ulver - Bergtatt Darkthrone - Under A Funeral Moon White Ward - Futility Report Bathory - Under The Sign of the Black Mark
Damn, nice list. For myself I'd have to pick Mütiilation - Sorrow Galaxies Grand Belial's Key - Judeobeast Assassination Peste Noire - La Chaise Dyable Clandestine Blaze - Deliverers of Faith Leviathan - The tenth sub level of suicide
In no particular order and subject to additions: Mgła - Exercises in Futility Ulver - Bergtatt Uada - Cult of a Dying Sun Burzum - Filosofem Dissection - Storm of the Light's Bane Thantifaxath - Sacred White Noise Batushka - Litourgiya Deathspell Omega - Paracletus Deathspell Omega - Drought Blut Aus Nord - Memoria Vetusta III: Saturnian Poetry
Great list. Thantifaxath is a name I am unfamiliar with. I will check them out as soon as I'm done here. Ulver's Bergtatt, wow! For me, I can't put into words as to why I love it as much as I do. It connects with me, as it does with me many others, on a level that transcends the pleasures of listening to music. I'm glad to see Uada mentioned. From my perspective, they lack overall recognition, and I also feel them to be underrated in music communities I visit online. MGLA has become one of my absolute favorite bands. A darkhorse I would throw in if I were to make a list would be Altar of Plagues. Perhaps you're not as fond or familiar of them as I am, but Teethed Glory.. and Mammal are two of their albums that I thoroughly enjoy.
@@dread-cthulu You know what? I totally agree with you, and I'm able to separate biases aside and say that's hard to argue against, considering the direction the genre has gone. It's the combination of pure emotion and fantastic musicianship that creates the unique and unforgettable atmosphere on this album.
Judging by your roster, I suggest you give Λ S T R Λ (or Astra/astra however you spell it) a shot. I love how they mix the ambient sounds with their unique sound signature. Also, the "dark soviet russian night" vibe the music has really fits black metal, but that's just how I feel lol

I recommend Alpenpässe by Minenwerfer! One of my favourite albums of all time. Also, knew Peste Noire would be on there I discovered them because of you and now love them so thanks for that
An incredible album! I rarely do a "jaw-dropping" reaction to music, but the first scream in their intro track is definitely the coldest vocal work I've ever heard.
Some of my all time favs: 1349 - Hellfire Satyricon - Nemesis Divina Xasthur - Telepathic with the Deceased Blasphemophager - Nuclear Empire of Apocalypse Diocletian - Gesunden Absu - Tara Marduk - Panzer Division Marduk Blut aus nord - Memoria Vetusta III Bathory - The Return...

Just wanted to say, thanks for doing what you do man. I am a metalcore/deathcore fan myself (lol) but i LOVE learning about the heavier and more extreme genres and i respect all of them. Its been a shit year but im glad UA-cam hasnt completely gone to shit because there's still good channels like yours out there. Thanks for everything man, love your content
Some of my favorites: Sigh - In Somniphobia Ulcus - Cherish the Obscure Arcturus - The Sham Mirrors Windir - 1184 Enslaved - Isa Emperor - Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk Ne Obliviscaris - Citadel Borknagar - Quintessence Celtic Frost - Morbid Tales Leviathan - Tentacles of Whorror
I don't listen to black metal very often, but when I do I just go with these: Anaal Nathrakh: The Codex Necro and ITCOTBW Misthyrming: Alglyemi, Mgła: Exercise In Futility, Gruzja: Jeszcze nie mamy na was pomysłu, and if we count it as black metal: Lorna Shore - AIRTN (Ep.) (Blackened Deathcore) Mental Cruelty - A Hill To Die Upon (Blackened Deathcore)
Holy fuck dude. There is some incredible black metal on here that I've never even heard of. Thanks for making this and showing me some other incredible bands. Also it wasn't until I saw a interview with Dan Swano that I found out that Jon from Dissection is actually pronounced Yoon. That kind of blew my mind.
Omg I love Terra Tenebrosa, I hope to see them live one day, I don’t even know if they’re still active. I really like older Peste Noire and Anaal Nathrakh as well. I don’t think I can make a proper list, but here are few of my favorite: Cult of Fire - Ascetic Meditation of Death Deathspell Omega - Paracletus Emperor - Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk Mayhem - De Misteriis Dom Sathanas Dissection - Storm of the Light’s Bane Mgła - Exercises in Futility Mysthyrming - Songvar Elds Og Oreidu Sinmara - Hvisl Stjarnanna Shining - Halmstad Windir - 1184 Gris - Il Etait Une Foret Negura Bunget - Om Code - Resplendent Grotesque
Don't think I can do a full 25 but I got a top ten, no bully please 10. Moonspell - Wolfheart 9. Moonsorrow - Voimasta ja kunniasta 8. Peste Noire - Debut 7. Deathspell Omega - Fas -Ite 6. Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss 5. Emperor - Anthems 4. Darkthrone - A Blaze in the Northern sky 3. Summoning - Let mortal heroes sing your fame 2. Bathory - Blood fire Death 1. Ulver - Debut If you call me gay or autistic for my music tastes, I am a woman, so simp away
Wolfheart count as black metal for sure. The band was a fan of Bathory works. In one of those videos, we're Quorthon visits Portugal, you can see a young Fernando Ribeiro, vocalist of Moonspell.
The Ways of Yore is unironically my favorite Burzum album. It was always Filosofem before but TWoY just kept growing and growing, it’s such a beautiful masterpiece
Great list PostMan, a lot of 'unexpected' records in here. I have always found it a bit funny that people started hating Varg for talking about 'role-playing' games on his channel, knowing full well he got 'famous' for murdering 'some Guy' in the nineties.. people, am I right?!
I think "Mgla - Exercises in Futility" definitely needs some airtime in a "top 25" discussion. That album is objectively incredible and some of the best insturmental execution in the genre. I enjoyed listening to your list. Some really amazing stuff in there with a nice mix of sounds.
I've been getting into black metal this past month and you sir has helped a lot whit this list and other content on you channel This list should have some Paysage D' Hiver praise tho
A lot of my top 10 BM albums are classics everyone already knows, but I would recommend Dispirit - Enantiodromian Birth Arizmenda - Within the Vacuum of inifinty Sale Freux - Subterraneus Hwwauoch - Into the Labyrinth of Consciousness
@@anonymous._.euronymous._.1349 Do you like Der Stürmer? I've been a big fan ever since the release of their 2011 album, Transcendental Racial Idealism. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Transcendental Racial Idealism where Jarl von Hagall's presence became more apparent. I think the Der Stürmer/Auschwitz Symphony Orchestra split was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Take the lyrics to Hearts Full of Hate. In this song, Jarl addresses the problems of immigrants moving into aryan land. Forces of Tradition is the most moving nsbm song of the 2000s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in nsbm.
I'm just getting back into black metal. Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk is still my favorite black metal album of all time and one of my top 10 albums period.
Although we do have many in common, Transylvania Hunger, and Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk are albums that set the pace and influenced the black metal scene as very few (Deathspell Omega for example) have done. Those deserve to be in the top 10 at least. Anyway keep up the good work🤟
I really enjoyed this video! You don't spend too long on each album but still manage to say plenty of noteworthy things about them all and one can tell you are engaged, which makes me feel engaged as well :) Definitely gonna check out Ulver!
Your description of The Voice of Steel is perfect. That album is monumental in its mastery and glory. Absolutely unrivaled musical genius. The only reason I don’t put it in my top 5 favorite bm albums is cause I actually consider it more of a folk metal album than black metal. By far the greatest folk metal album of all time
Very hard to pick but some of my favorites are: 1. Dissection - Storm of the Lights bane 2. Sacramentum - Far away from the sun 3. Abigor - Verwüstung, Nachthymnen, Orkblut 4. Satyricon - Dark medival times 5. Kvist - For Kunsten Maa Vi Evig Vike and many many others :)
I don’t have favorite albums but my favorite artists or bands would be: 1. Xasthur 2. Leviathan 3. Silencer 4. Sadness 5. Burzum 6. Emit 7. Damaar 8. Shining 9. Dark Throne 10. Thy Light

Spektr - The Art to Disappear
i def agree with you that Paracletus and All The Dread Magnificence Of Perversity are 2 of the greatest albums of all time... also glad to see you place Bethlehem so high, though Dark Metal is the album for my money. Ulver and The Codex Necro, all the fucking way. Super sick that you're wearing that Portal t-shirt for this one too. I can never really commit to ranking masterpieces above one another so i will just blast a list of other GOATs, in no particularly order and certainly not exhaustive... The Angelic Process - Coma Waering Mord - Christendom Perished Ludicra - Another Great Love Song Beherit - Drawing Down The Moon Wolves in the Throne Room - Thrice Woven Enbilulugugal - We Hope You Fvkken Hate It Immortal - Sons of Northern Darkness Agalloch - Ashes Against The Grain Pandiscordian Necrogenesis - Outer Supernal & Eigenwelt Batushka - Panihida & Hospidi Mephorash - 1557: Rites of Nullification & Shem Ha Mephorash Faidra - Six Voices Inside Leviathan - Scar Sighted UADA - Devoid of Light & Cult of A Dying Sun Mgla - Exercises in Futility Merci for recommending Master's Hammer... don't know how i've lived without it...

Great video, Got into the genre again recently after years of not listening with MGLA and Batuskha and this has been a good video for finding new bands.
ever hear of Sigrblot? they are awesome and the vocals are my favorite, they only have one album and a split with Grand Belials key which is one of my fav BM bands

Edit: I left this comment before I saw him mention The Voice of Steel. I'm glad I have at least one in common lol.
This is what I can think off of the top of my head tbh, subject to change but it's likely it'll stay this way 5. Hate Forest - Sorrow 4. Bathory - Under the Sign of the Black Mark 3. Apati - Eufori 2. Primeval Well - Primeval Well 1. Dissection - Storm of the Lights Bane
summoning & nokturnal mortum are really great bands i never listen to before watching your top list, thx for this. I listen to black metal since the early 90s and still can discover so much music :) I'm used to bands like Bethlehem, Striborg, Graveland, Abigor.... but Summoning is a kind of his own (this music is so cool).
Being a bit of BM newbie, I find myself listening to less traditional BM. As I've mentioned in another comment, I am extremely high on Ulver's Bergtatt. Burzums Filosofem. Dissection- SOTLB is another favorite of mine. Some of my favorites that either were mentioned or mentioned rarely: Altar of Plagues - Mammal Agalloch - The Mantle & AATG Alcest - Le Secret (EP) White Ward - Futility Report Panopticon - Autumn Eternal And pretty much anything by MGLA, Deathspell Omega, Blut Aus Nord, Ruins of Beverast. And a few more: Weakling - Dead As Dreams Negura Bunget - Om Minenwerfer - Alpenpasse Bekëth Nexëhmü - De svarta riterna Drudkh - Autumn Aurora Nagelfar - Virus West Midnight Odyssey's - SOSF & FFTAS Odraza - Rzeczom Peste Noire - la sanie... Portal - Outre Wolves in the Throne Room - Two Hunters And yes, I do realize many of these aren't primarily BM. I apologize in advance if Gazey sounding or too Atmospheric, tree hugging metal makes you nauseated.
1. Leviathan - Tentacles of Whorror 2. Ulver - Bergtatt 3. Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse 4. Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss 5. Livelover - Dekadens just from the top of my head
Bethlehem made it top 10, I'm good! 1 - Summoning - Let Mortal Heroes Sing Our Fame (close to Old Mornings Dawn) 2 - Darkthrone - Ravishing Grimness 3 - Anaal Nathrakh - The Codex Necro (to me the true necro sound of AN) 4 - Anorexia Nervosa - Drudenhaus 5 - Mayhem - Daemon (I'm literally obsessed by that album)
Hi man. Thank You making this video. Because iVe only heard of maybe 3 of these. And, youre links are so appreciated. Havent listened to a couple because the links werent available but thats ok man. Thank u.
My top 5: 1. Burzum - Aske 2. Darkthrone - PanzerFaust 3. Summoning - Minas Morgul (I love Lugburz) 4. Satyricon - Dark Medieval Times 5. Nargaroth - Black Metal ist Krieg ( Seven tears are flowing to the river and the cover of Pisen pro Satana are masterpieces)
i can just recommend diving into the nowadays icelandic black metal scene. beginning with Svartidauði - Flesh Cathedral, that beast of an album that started this new wave, and their second album Revelations of The Red Sword that is a masterpiece in cosmic black art. Sinmara, Misþyrming, Wormlust, Andavald and Nornahetta are also worth checking out. For everybody waiting for a new Negative Plane album i highly recommend paying regard to the side project of Bestial Devotion. its called Funereal Presence, and his last Album Achatius is phenomenal! and give Jordablod - Upon my cremation pyre a turn. an album i just recently discovered is the debut from Forteresse - Métal Noir Québécois. and its just that good! and if you like black metal with some folk elements check out Negura Bunget - OM.
Absurd: Facta Loquuntur Bilskirnir: Bis Germanien Erwacht Bethlehem: Dictius Te Necare Bathory: Hammerheart (More Viking, but I include Either way) Hades: The Dawn of the dying sun Bonus: Graveland: Thousand Swords
Some of the black metal albums I love are as follows: - New Bermuda by Deafheaven (maybe my all-time favourite?) - Stained Glass Revelations by Negative Plane - The Pact... by Negative Plane (my black metal co-AOTY) - The Furnaces of Palingenesia by Deathspell Omega - Hostile Architecture by Ashenspire (my OTHER black metal AOTY) - A Blaze in the Northern Sky by Darkthrone - Litourgiya by Batushka - In The Nightside Eclipse by Emperor I'm going to check out that Nokturnal Mortum album you mentioned. I didn't get into those guys for the longest time because of their NS background, but the album you mentioned apparently has no racist lyrics in it, sooooo... maybe I'll just listen to that one here on UA-cam. However, I'll stick with Ungfell for that medieval folk-tinged sound. Too many red flags on that Peste Noire album cover. You are certainly more gutsier than me when it comes to supporting controversial bands! Do what you want, though. As long as it makes YOU happy, that is all that matters, right?
My top 10 are: 10.Mayhem: Daemon (dgaf what the elitist priks say, i loved this album from the moment i heard the first song) 9.Abigor: Opus IV 8.Dawn: 1994 album 7.Marduk: Rom 5:12 6.Bathory: UTSOTBM 5.Ondskapt: Grimoire Ondo Devus 4.Judas Iscariot: TETCB 3.Inquisition: ITIROTAC 2.DarkThrone: ABITNS 1.BURZUM: ANY ALBUM
My top ten.. Pure holocaust-immortal Pentagram-gorgoroth Dark medieval times-satyricon Bathory-bathory In the nightside eclipse-emperor Demigod-behemoth Lugburz-summoning Filosofem-burzum Deathcrush-mayhem Conjuring the dead-belphegor These are not in any order
No Rotting Christ? I'm happy to see Summoning as the number one though. Also got like 5 albums from this list to check out and like 10 that I want to relisten to now. Completely forgot about Bethlehem and Negative Plane damn this was a nostalgic video.
Just gonna drop a couple of suggestions Kat - Oddech Wymarłych Światów (proto black metal) Mortuary Drape - All the witches dance (proto black metal) Necrodeath - Mater of all evil (pretty known but, anyway...) Windir- 1184 (if you listen to BM you should know this album) Urfaust - Apparitions (not exactly pure black metal, but the first half of this lp is amazing) Sarkrista - Summoners of the Serpents Wrath Cultes des Ghoules - Häxan (pretty known, I think...)
Now I've been through your list and ended up buying the albums by The Summoning (already had plans to get this one), Human Serpent, Master's Hammer (had listened to one album of theirs previously, it was ok but not great), Negative Plane, and Diabolical Masquerade. I already have the Deathspell Omega trilogy of albums and I agree they're great. I'm not a big fan of intense shrillness and noise in BM. I feel myself at home here in Level 4 maximum (in reference to your other video) :)
Not in order 1. Arntor - Windir 2. Kruxifiction - Katharsis 3. Verity - Nokturnal Mortum 4. Stronghold - Summoning 5. Paracletus - Deathspell Omega 6. Nachthymnen - Abigor 7. Tentacles of Whoror - Leviathan 8. La Sanie - Peste Noire 9. Themes la pour la Rebellion - Forteresse 10. Vampires of Black Imperial Blood
Full support to Paracletus worship
Deathspell....

+1 to this list
Two things about this list. First, I like seeing you pay homage to the classics. Second, for recognizing the newer wave; Ruins of Beverast have an impressive catalog. And of course, Ms Swift. Shake it off is some of the most ominous, depressive, yet atmospheric three minutes of BM I believe we'll ever hear.
That Taylor Swift album is very kvlt
Curse of mankind is a great record, always happy to see it make lists
finally someone that gives Nattens Madrigal proper consideration
5. Deathspell Omega - FAS. 4. Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse. 3.Blasphemy- Fallen Angel of Doom. 2.Leviathan- tenth sub level of suicide.

Thantifaxath - Sacred White Noise

Deathspell Omega - Drought
Blut Aus Nord - Memoria Vetusta III: Saturnian Poetry
Great list. Thantifaxath is a name I am unfamiliar with. I will check them out as soon as I'm done here.
Ulver's Bergtatt, wow! For me, I can't put into words as to why I love it as much as I do. It connects with me, as it does with me many others, on a level that transcends the pleasures of listening to music.
I'm glad to see Uada mentioned. From my perspective, they lack overall recognition, and I also feel them to be underrated in music communities I visit online.
MGLA has become one of my absolute favorite bands. A darkhorse I would throw in if I were to make a list would be Altar of Plagues. Perhaps you're not as fond or familiar of them as I am, but Teethed Glory.. and Mammal are two of their albums that I thoroughly enjoy.
I'm a fan of Mammal. Theethed Glory, not so much.
@@jrodgeauxtigersastrosandsaints
For me, hearing Bergtatt the first time was a revelation. It's the standard I judge almost all other BM acts against.
@@dread-cthulu You know what? I totally agree with you, and I'm able to separate biases aside and say that's hard to argue against, considering the direction the genre has gone. It's the combination of pure emotion and fantastic musicianship that creates the unique and unforgettable atmosphere on this album.
Judging by your roster, I suggest you give Λ S T R Λ (or Astra/astra however you spell it) a shot. I love how they mix the ambient sounds with their unique sound signature. Also, the "dark soviet russian night" vibe the music has really fits black metal, but that's just how I feel lol
My top 5 BM albums
5- Manticore-Bowels of the holy anoint us in evil.
4- Marduk-Panzer Division
3- Blasphemy-fallen angel of doom
2-Tridentifer-Under the sign of the trident

I recommend Alpenpässe by Minenwerfer! One of my favourite albums of all time. Also, knew Peste Noire would be on there I discovered them because of you and now love them so thanks for that
An incredible album! I rarely do a "jaw-dropping" reaction to music, but the first scream in their intro track is definitely the coldest vocal work I've ever heard.

Gruzja: Jeszcze nie mamy na was pomysłu,
and if we count it as black metal:
Lorna Shore - AIRTN (Ep.) (Blackened Deathcore)
Mental Cruelty - A Hill To Die Upon (Blackened Deathcore)
Holy fuck dude. There is some incredible black metal on here that I've never even heard of. Thanks for making this and showing me some other incredible bands.
Also it wasn't until I saw a interview with Dan Swano that I found out that Jon from Dissection is actually pronounced Yoon. That kind of blew my mind.
Omg I love Terra Tenebrosa, I hope to see them live one day, I don’t even know if they’re still active.
I really like older Peste Noire and Anaal Nathrakh as well.
I don’t think I can make a proper list, but here are few of my favorite:
Cult of Fire - Ascetic Meditation of Death
Deathspell Omega - Paracletus
Emperor - Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk
Mayhem - De Misteriis Dom Sathanas
Dissection - Storm of the Light’s Bane
Mgła - Exercises in Futility
Mysthyrming - Songvar Elds Og Oreidu
Sinmara - Hvisl Stjarnanna
Shining - Halmstad
Windir - 1184
Gris - Il Etait Une Foret
Negura Bunget - Om
Code - Resplendent Grotesque
Don't think I can do a full 25 but I got a top ten, no bully please
10. Moonspell - Wolfheart
9. Moonsorrow - Voimasta ja kunniasta
8. Peste Noire - Debut
7. Deathspell Omega - Fas -Ite
6. Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
5. Emperor - Anthems
4. Darkthrone - A Blaze in the Northern sky
3. Summoning - Let mortal heroes sing your fame
2. Bathory - Blood fire Death
1. Ulver - Debut
If you call me gay or autistic for my music tastes, I am a woman, so simp away
I dont think moonspell comes remotely close to playing black metal. At least not on their full lengths
@@TheJoaovicente I know most of Moonspell's discography is more gothic metal but I still think Wolfheart counts as black metal
Your taste is very homosexual, madam.
Wolfheart count as black metal for sure. The band was a fan of Bathory works. In one of those videos, we're Quorthon visits Portugal, you can see a young Fernando Ribeiro, vocalist of Moonspell.
The Ways of Yore is unironically my favorite Burzum album. It was always Filosofem before but TWoY just kept growing and growing, it’s such a beautiful masterpiece
definitely not my favorite, but based af at the same time. I love ways of yore as well, really all of his neofolk albums are fantastic
hvis lyset tar oss!
Great list PostMan, a lot of 'unexpected' records in here. I have always found it a bit funny that people started hating Varg for talking about 'role-playing' games on his channel, knowing full well he got 'famous' for murdering 'some Guy' in the nineties.. people, am I right?!
I think "Mgla - Exercises in Futility" definitely needs some airtime in a "top 25" discussion. That album is objectively incredible and some of the best insturmental execution in the genre. I enjoyed listening to your list. Some really amazing stuff in there with a nice mix of sounds.
I totally agree.
Age of Excuse is also a really good album, but I think I'd still put EiF above AoE
💯!! - not mentioning them in this conversation is just amateur hour
I've been getting into black metal this past month and you sir has helped a lot whit this list and other content on you channel
This list should have some Paysage D' Hiver praise tho
A lot of my top 10 BM albums are classics everyone already knows, but I would recommend
Dispirit - Enantiodromian Birth
Arizmenda - Within the Vacuum of inifinty
Sale Freux - Subterraneus
Hwwauoch - Into the Labyrinth of Consciousness
I already know Der Sturmer is gonna be number 1
Arrogance is gonna be the runner up, I just know it
@@anonymous._.euronymous._.1349 Do you like Der Stürmer? I've been a big fan ever since the release of their 2011 album, Transcendental Racial Idealism. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Transcendental Racial Idealism where Jarl von Hagall's presence became more apparent. I think the Der Stürmer/Auschwitz Symphony Orchestra split was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Take the lyrics to Hearts Full of Hate. In this song, Jarl addresses the problems of immigrants moving into aryan land. Forces of Tradition is the most moving nsbm song of the 2000s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in nsbm.
Lmfao

I'm just getting back into black metal. Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk is still my favorite black metal album of all time and one of my top 10 albums period.
I just can't stop listening to Inhumane Minimalism, such an awesome album! Thanks for the recommendation
Cool list buddy. Always great to see people's takes on a genre. Big Masters Hammer fan here.
Although we do have many in common, Transylvania Hunger, and Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk are albums that set the pace and influenced the black metal scene as very few (Deathspell Omega for example) have done. Those deserve to be in the top 10 at least. Anyway keep up the good work🤟
17:50 ah yes, nothing better than a breath of a fresh ear
I really enjoyed this video! You don't spend too long on each album but still manage to say plenty of noteworthy things about them all and one can tell you are engaged, which makes me feel engaged as well :) Definitely gonna check out Ulver!

Your description of The Voice of Steel is perfect. That album is monumental in its mastery and glory. Absolutely unrivaled musical genius. The only reason I don’t put it in my top 5 favorite bm albums is cause I actually consider it more of a folk metal album than black metal. By far the greatest folk metal album of all time
Murmuüre’s self titled is a really good blending of black metal, synth and avant garde elements.
Very hard to pick but some of my favorites are:
1. Dissection - Storm of the Lights bane
2. Sacramentum - Far away from the sun
3. Abigor - Verwüstung, Nachthymnen, Orkblut
4. Satyricon - Dark medival times
5. Kvist - For Kunsten Maa Vi Evig Vike
and many many others :)
Amazing!
Oh no no! You only get one Abigor album to pick from. If we let you do that, everyone will too.
Yes hair care video please. Pretty diverse list (and taste) my friend
Honestly I don't listen to much black metal, but I linseed to Dictus De Nacare recently and loved eveything about it!
I don’t have favorite albums but my favorite artists or bands would be:
1. Xasthur
2. Leviathan
3. Silencer
4. Sadness
5. Burzum
6. Emit

8. Shining
9. Dark Throne
10. Thy Light
You are a DSBM man

Top 3 (cause im too indecisive for anything more):
1.) Dissection - Storm of the lights bane
2.) Dissection - The somberlain
3.) 1914 - The blind leading the blind
I've only been listening to black metal for 5 years or so, so I've got a pretty newbie list, but I can say the albums that have stuck with me the most were:
1. Absu - Tara
1. Nokturnal Mortum - The Voice of Steel (the newest addition and the only one on this list I don't own)
2. Immortal - At the Heart of Winter (the first BM album I really loved)
3. Woods of Desolation - Torn Beyond Reason (the first DSBM album I really loved)
4. Agalloch - The Mantle
5. Vvilderness - Devour the Sun
6. Darkthrone - A Blaze in the Northern Sky (the first BM album I bought)
7. Dark Funeral - Angelus Exuro pro Eternus
8. Leviathan - The Tenth Sub Level of Suicide
9. Inquisition - Obscure Verses for the Multiverse
10. Mgła - Exercises in Futility
Like I said, a pretty newbie list, but I always come back to this channel to be exposed to new-to-me, obscure BM, so thank you Wyattxhim!
Edit: I left this comment before I saw him mention The Voice of Steel. I'm glad I have at least one in common lol.
I agree with #1 and exactly what you said about it, great video and great albums !
This is what I can think off of the top of my head tbh, subject to change but it's likely it'll stay this way
5. Hate Forest - Sorrow
4. Bathory - Under the Sign of the Black Mark
3. Apati - Eufori
2. Primeval Well - Primeval Well
1. Dissection - Storm of the Lights Bane
Yes Hate Forest. I would go with purification or Battlefields though. Sorrow also incredible though
summoning & nokturnal mortum are really great bands i never listen to before watching your top list, thx for this. I listen to black metal since the early 90s and still can discover so much music :) I'm used to bands like Bethlehem, Striborg, Graveland, Abigor.... but Summoning is a kind of his own (this music is so cool).
For me:
10. Daamar - Triumph Through Spears Of Sacrilege
9. Leviathan - Tenth Sublevel of Suicide
8. Xasthur - Telepatic with the Deceased
7. Striborg - Solitude
6. Conqueror - War.Cult.Supremacy
5. Samael - Ceremony Of Opposites
4. Revenge - Infiltration.Downfall.Death
3. Sühnopfer - Offertoire
2. Batushka - Litourgiya
1. Deathspell Omega - FAS - Ite, Maledicti, In Ignem Aeternum
Great list. Nice to see Terra Tenebrosa, Abigor, and Bethlehem. Rainer Landfermann!!!!
Being a bit of BM newbie, I find myself listening to less traditional BM. As I've mentioned in another comment, I am extremely high on Ulver's Bergtatt. Burzums Filosofem. Dissection- SOTLB is another favorite of mine.
Some of my favorites that either were mentioned or mentioned rarely:
Altar of Plagues - Mammal
Agalloch - The Mantle & AATG
Alcest - Le Secret (EP)
White Ward - Futility Report
Panopticon - Autumn Eternal
And pretty much anything by MGLA, Deathspell Omega, Blut Aus Nord, Ruins of Beverast.
And a few more:
Weakling - Dead As Dreams
Negura Bunget - Om
Minenwerfer - Alpenpasse
Bekëth Nexëhmü - De svarta riterna
Drudkh - Autumn Aurora
Nagelfar - Virus West
Midnight Odyssey's - SOSF & FFTAS
Odraza - Rzeczom
Peste Noire - la sanie...
Portal - Outre
Wolves in the Throne Room - Two Hunters
And yes, I do realize many of these aren't primarily BM. I apologize in advance if Gazey sounding or too Atmospheric, tree hugging metal makes you nauseated.
1. Leviathan - Tentacles of Whorror
2. Ulver - Bergtatt
3. Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse
4. Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
5. Livelover - Dekadens
just from the top of my head
Bethlehem made it top 10, I'm good!
1 - Summoning - Let Mortal Heroes Sing Our Fame (close to Old Mornings Dawn)
2 - Darkthrone - Ravishing Grimness
3 - Anaal Nathrakh - The Codex Necro (to me the true necro sound of AN)
4 - Anorexia Nervosa - Drudenhaus
5 - Mayhem - Daemon (I'm literally obsessed by that album)
Haha just arrived at your top 1 and you made Summoning - Minas Morgul top 1!
Summoning is the best band on earth.
Hi man. Thank You making this video. Because iVe only heard of maybe 3 of these.
And, youre links are so appreciated. Havent listened to a couple because the links werent available but thats ok man. Thank u.
My top 5:
1. Burzum - Aske
2. Darkthrone - PanzerFaust
3. Summoning - Minas Morgul (I love Lugburz)
4. Satyricon - Dark Medieval Times
5. Nargaroth - Black Metal ist Krieg ( Seven tears are flowing to the river and the cover of Pisen pro Satana are masterpieces)
i can just recommend diving into the nowadays icelandic black metal scene. beginning with Svartidauði - Flesh Cathedral, that beast of an album that started this new wave, and their second album Revelations of The Red Sword that is a masterpiece in cosmic black art.
Sinmara, Misþyrming, Wormlust, Andavald and Nornahetta are also worth checking out.
For everybody waiting for a new Negative Plane album i highly recommend paying regard to the side project of Bestial Devotion. its called Funereal Presence, and his last Album Achatius is phenomenal! and give Jordablod - Upon my cremation pyre a turn.
an album i just recently discovered is the debut from Forteresse - Métal Noir Québécois. and its just that good!
and if you like black metal with some folk elements check out Negura Bunget - OM.
Absurd: Facta Loquuntur
Bilskirnir: Bis Germanien Erwacht
Bethlehem: Dictius Te Necare
Bathory: Hammerheart (More Viking, but I include Either way)
Hades: The Dawn of the dying sun
Bonus: Graveland: Thousand Swords
Some of the black metal albums I love are as follows:
- New Bermuda by Deafheaven (maybe my all-time favourite?)
- Stained Glass Revelations by Negative Plane
- The Pact... by Negative Plane (my black metal co-AOTY)
- The Furnaces of Palingenesia by Deathspell Omega
- Hostile Architecture by Ashenspire (my OTHER black metal AOTY)
- A Blaze in the Northern Sky by Darkthrone
- Litourgiya by Batushka
- In The Nightside Eclipse by Emperor
I'm going to check out that Nokturnal Mortum album you mentioned. I didn't get into those guys for the longest time because of their NS background, but the album you mentioned apparently has no racist lyrics in it, sooooo... maybe I'll just listen to that one here on UA-cam. However, I'll stick with Ungfell for that medieval folk-tinged sound. Too many red flags on that Peste Noire album cover. You are certainly more gutsier than me when it comes to supporting controversial bands! Do what you want, though. As long as it makes YOU happy, that is all that matters, right?
My top 10 are:
10.Mayhem: Daemon (dgaf what the elitist priks say, i loved this album from the moment i heard the first song)
9.Abigor: Opus IV
8.Dawn: 1994 album
7.Marduk: Rom 5:12
6.Bathory: UTSOTBM
5.Ondskapt: Grimoire Ondo Devus
4.Judas Iscariot: TETCB
3.Inquisition: ITIROTAC
2.DarkThrone: ABITNS
1.BURZUM: ANY ALBUM
Great list! I feel that Dawn are greatly underrated.
never thought I’d see Bethlehem in this video, and in the top 10 aswell! Underrated af
Thanks my friend for this list.
My top ten..
Pure holocaust-immortal
Pentagram-gorgoroth
Dark medieval times-satyricon
Bathory-bathory
In the nightside eclipse-emperor
Demigod-behemoth
Lugburz-summoning
Filosofem-burzum
Deathcrush-mayhem
Conjuring the dead-belphegor
These are not in any order
Great video. I miss a bit of DSBM. Please check out Lurker of Chalice, Throane.
Have you heard Kaevum's Natur? If not I think you'd probably like it.
It's awesome! After looking everywhere I finally got it on tape, acutally showed it in my latest video.
Both Kaevum and Nordvrede are both sick bands
No Rotting Christ? I'm happy to see Summoning as the number one though. Also got like 5 albums from this list to check out and like 10 that I want to relisten to now. Completely forgot about Bethlehem and Negative Plane damn this was a nostalgic video.
I gave you a sub and a like for all the links you put in the description for all the bands. Really aoorecuated that.
You should make a black metal Spotify Playlist if you have the streaming service :)
Thank you for introducing me to Human Serpent! These guys are awesome and "Mother of Depression" is an immediate favorite! 🤘
Just gonna drop a couple of suggestions
Kat - Oddech Wymarłych Światów (proto black metal)
Mortuary Drape - All the witches dance (proto black metal)
Necrodeath - Mater of all evil (pretty known but, anyway...)
Windir- 1184 (if you listen to BM you should know this album)
Urfaust - Apparitions (not exactly pure black metal, but the first half of this lp is amazing)
Sarkrista - Summoners of the Serpents Wrath
Cultes des Ghoules - Häxan (pretty known, I think...)
Now I've been through your list and ended up buying the albums by The Summoning (already had plans to get this one), Human Serpent, Master's Hammer (had listened to one album of theirs previously, it was ok but not great), Negative Plane, and Diabolical Masquerade. I already have the Deathspell Omega trilogy of albums and I agree they're great.
I'm not a big fan of intense shrillness and noise in BM. I feel myself at home here in Level 4 maximum (in reference to your other video) :)
Master's Hammer- Ritual and Filemnice Occultist are cukt albums, very ahead of their time. Must be listened to carefully.
Not in order
1. Arntor - Windir
2. Kruxifiction - Katharsis
3. Verity - Nokturnal Mortum
4. Stronghold - Summoning
5. Paracletus - Deathspell Omega
6. Nachthymnen - Abigor
7. Tentacles of Whoror - Leviathan
8. La Sanie - Peste Noire
9. Themes la pour la Rebellion - Forteresse
10. Vampires of Black Imperial Blood
Nightwork is a masterpiece. From start to end just perfect!
