Felt that. Discovered Metal at 7 y.o. through Metallica as well as Rammstein’s « Mutter » album, told myself « Mmmh Death Metal’s kind of too extreme for me », then delved into the depths of Black Metal at 11 y.o thanks to my father’s vinyls. After that followed the discovery of hundreds of Thrash Metal and Stoner/Doom Metal bands, and early Death Metal around 14-15 y.o. My absolute favorite to this is Black Metal (it has always been), next is Thrash and Stoner/Doom. Early Death is to my taste, but the more recent stuff with low growls still isn’t my thing
Black metal is an acquired taste for sure, it took me a while until I got it. Darkthrone for me is the best pure black metal band. Transylvanian Hunger is a great album/track

To all those who think black metal is the worst genre, here're some good black metal bands. If you're like something atmospheric, Agalloch, Woods of Desolation will be your choice. If you like something brutal, try 1349, Marduk, Impiety. If you like something old school, try Hellhammar, Sabbat. If you like something pure, try Sargeist, Tsjuder, Gorgoroth and Dark Funeral. If you like black metal that mixed with every other genre, try Anaal Nathrakh. And if you have time, listen to all the Finnish black metal bands. (Horna, Wyrd, Baptism, Ajattra, Behexen, Azaghal, Impaled Nazarene, Bloodhammer, Clandestine Blaze, Sargeist, Satanic Warmaster, Alghazanth, Goatmoon, Blood Red Fog, Enochian Crescent, Arthemesia) And if you have more time, listen to all the bands from Season of Mist.
ModernYeti Lol my friend's older cousin turned me on your them because he knew I liked katatonia and burzum. They are great. Also the aforementioned katatonia (Brace murder day era) is also amazing.
I appreciate that you didn't call Agalloch black metal because as you said its "progressive post-black/doom/folk" though progressive in black metal is redundant.
Black metal is actually really great, it just has a different appeal than pretty much every other metal genre. Took me a little while to appreciate but I absolutely love it now. I'd recommend starting out with Agalloch for some folky black metal, and Auðn for more riff focused atmo-black. And if you're worried about satanism and whatnot, neither of these bands participate in that shit. You basically just gotta learn to sit and vibe with it, instead of expecting to headbang for the entire song.
Burzum - Dunkelheit That is actually a very listenable black-metal track. Also Burzum means darkness and Dunkelheit means darkness. Darkness - Darkness. Does it get more KVLT?
Coldworld Drudkh Burzum Taake Suffering (Poland) Deafheaven Alcest der weg einer freiheit Mesarthim 1349 Celestial Bloodshed Dark Fortress Darkthrone Gorgoroth God Seed Mgla Forgotten Tomb
Forgotten Tomb is Dark Metal, Drudkh and Burzum are hipster black metal, Deafheaven and Alcest aren't even black metal they're blackgaze/post-black, and Coldworld and Suffering sound like they'd be DSBM or something. 1349, Gorgoroth, Darkthrone, and Taake are good examples of Black Metal though. I hate how many different types of music can get called Black Metal because it makes it harder for people to find the music they like or might scare away potential fans from a genre for years if not forever. Its sad to think.,
CoolGuyAtlas but... most of those are still black metal. Just because they have other influences doesn't mean it's not black metal. Also "hipster black metal" wouldn't be a separate genre. That's like ultra gay.
''Every black metal band sounds like they've been recorded through a flip phone from the early 2000's.'' listen to these bands and you'll see that it's absolutely not the case: Behemoth Satyricon Gorgoroth Dark Funeral Marduk Wolves In The Throne Room Belphegor Dimmu Borgir Immortal Spectral Wound Mgła
Some black metal that you guys could enjoy: - Dark Funeral (good production) Listen to "Secrets Of The Black Arts" and "Where Shadows Forever Reign" - Dimmu Borgir (later stuff has good production and all stuff has symphonic stuff) Listen to "Abrahadabra" and "Death Cult Armageddon" - Naglfar (melodic and good production) Listen to "Harvest" - Behemoth (everything including and after Satanica has great production and is mixed with death metal) Listen to "Satanica", "Demigod", "The Apostasy" and "The Satanist" - Deafheaven (ambient and shoegazey with good production) Listen to "Sunbather" - Dissection (melodic with pretty good production) Listen to "The Somberlain", "Storm Of The Light's Bane" and "Reinkaos" - Enslaved (everything post-2000s has great production and prog influences and all their stuff has viking influences) Listen to "Below The Lights", "Vertebrae", "In Times" and "E"
What you said about diversity in hardcore and metalcore is also the case with black metal. Not all of them have shit recording and just shrieking and the genre has changed a lot. I'm certainly a fan of the more atmospheric and symphonic stuff. But it is a genre that takes some time to get into. Some nice black metal bands in my opinion: Moonsorrow, Harakiri for the Sky, Agalloch, Alcest, Solstafir, Oathbreaker, A Forest of Stars, Dimmu Borgir, Mgla, Rotting Christ, Moonspell. Many Folk metal also have black influences (Finntroll, Eluveitie, Ensiferum, Wintersun, Kvelertak ...). Lots of different black metal variations out there. Keep up the videos, cheers!
You're welcome! I thought it was good to mention because I used to think the same way about black metal, but when I found the more accessible bands like Moonsorrow I really got into it, especially the unique atmospheres and emotions. Some black metal elitists will of course say there is only one trve kind of black metal, namely the one you guys described. On a side note, a friend of mine has made an entire thesis on the evolution of black metal (in dutch).
I like the more atmospheric and symphonic sound for instance: Nightwish, sonata arctica, epica, stratovarius, apocalyptica, xandria, catamenia, xandria, sabaton, kamelot, wintersun, dragonforce, rhapsody of fire, helloween and masterplan
Listening to the opinions of metalcore/nu metal fans on whats the worst subgenre is basically like listening to the opinion of Steven Seagal on what he thinks the worst martial art is.
It is tragically ironic that Metal has been able to create the single most loyal community of fans in history and yet we've still manage to have the most sickeningly solipsistic, elitists assholes acting as self appointed ambassadors to boot! Just imagine how many of these "More metal than you!" Types would find their collective craniums exploding like that scene out of the movie Scanners if just one of us chose Avant-Garde metal as best! Close minds cannot comprehend anything experimental and nonlinear. So anything that deviates from their chosen formula just offends their senses to no end.
I feel like there is a massive misconception floating on the Internet about what grindcore sounds like. The two genre that sound the same are "pornogrind" (Torsofuck, Rompeprop, CABT) and "goregrind" (Last Days Of Humanity, Haemorrage, Inhume...), with different lyric themes. Lots of mid-tempo grooves with some fast blast passages, overly simple riffs, vocals sound like a kitchen sink. However, traditional old grindcore (Napalm Death, Nasum, Rotten Sound, Wormrot...) is very different. Really fast blast beats, screaming vocals, short songs, often politically charged lyrics. Basically thrash, but faster.
Not the biggest fan of behemoth just listening to them on headphones or whatever, but damn they put on a good show whenever I saw them. Gotta give em respect for that
Storm of The Lights Bane is a masterpiece album and every metalhead is doing themselves a disservice by not listening to it. You like black metal or not.
Windir is one of the greatest black metal bands I've ever heard. Would recommend the song's "Journey to the End" and "On the Mountain of Goats" Behemoth started black metal, and is now blackened death metal. Still great though.
I don't have a best genre, but here are my favourites: Power Melodic Progressive Glam Classic Heavy Symphonic Folk Worst in my opinion: Any kind of core metal. I just never got into it. Special mention: you guys mentioned Stryper! My first heavy metal love! Yessss!
Nicolas Drabarek I really couldn’t disagree more. Except for thrash these are my exact picks for the worst metal genres. But I’d also add any Metalcore/Post Hadrcore Band with emo like clean vocals. Makes me skin crawl.
Best for me is Folk Metal, Power Metal and Heavy Metal. Like... Powerwolf ManOWar Hammerfall Sabaton Dream Evil Metallica Iron Maiden Black Sabbath Megadeth Pantera AC/DC Slipknot Anthrax Disturbed System Of A Down Rammstein Quiet Riot Eluveitie Korpiklaani Metsatöll Amon Amarth Nightwish Empyrium And more 😅 Aahh finally done. Now if anyone asks me if i listen to metal and what genre and bands. I'm ready. 5am can't sleep, don't ask why i did this.
Nasser Thani as a fellow power and folk metal fan i recommend equilibrium, start with songs like unbesiegt, blut im auge, die weide und der fluss, and snuffel
Maybe these fall under your..."and more"...??? Helloween Gamma Ray Kamelot Ordan Ogan (one of my new favorites!!! Highly recommended!) Dark Moor TYR (their newer stuff)
Immortal - At the Heart of Winter Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse Those are two legendary black metal albums that have awesome production and are great for people looking to get into the genre
gotta say i love me some metalcore, Everything from Killswitch Engages discogrophy is gold. All That Remains had a pretty good run until their last 3 albums. August Burns Red, a newer Australian metalcore band called Polaris. I could go on and on about how great metalcore is.
Pqnos Kanos Dissection was good there's so many amazing Black Metal bands out there that have come and gone(thousands) it's impossible to name them all I've been listening to Black Metal for 15 years, my collection of black metal has between 1500 to 2000 bands.
The worst metal, in general, is anything fake/trying too hard or recorded on a defective, waterlogged toaster. Personally, I'm a fan of gothic, symphonic, folk, swing (there's literally just Diablo Swing Orchestra), power and a tiny bit of black (Cradle of Filth). But 95% of the bands I like are female-fronted; gotta have dem b00tyful, klean vokillz.
Xasthur is an awesome black metal solo project. Apparently he's making neofolk now lol. Bethlehem if your looking for good DSBM, although his voice is an acquired taste for sure.
I think that even in bad genres is good bands. Like, there’s not very many genres that have no good bands. For example, I’m not really a big fan of Nu Metal, but I like Rage Against the Machine. There’s so many other examples out there.
Akuma-Metal I never did, even at the time, but so what? I didn't like most of what I heard. And these days it is largely dead (although I'm sure some of these bands are still around). RATM was several years too early to be NuMetal IMHO. Rap metal yes, but that's a different genre. I wouldn't call Bodycount NuMetal.
Akuma-Metal I get where you're coming from, but there are other things. NuMetal was pretty stripped down, RATM yes but not as much. I tend to think of the term NuMetal as a bit of a marketing gimmick for bands around the millenium invented by the record companies. NuMetal for me is the offspring od RATM and rap metal... kind of a more commercial version
Satyricon is a great starter black metal band. I would recommend there 3rd album Nemesis Divina. Mother North the song is a good starter. Black Metal generally is about creating a dark but beautiful atmosphere rather than trying to play heavy fast technical or slow heavy riffs and breakdowns. There are good and bad bands in every metal genre. Another way to get into Black Metal is If you guys already like metalcore (duh), then check out Melodic Black Metal bands like Dissection, Sacramentum. Dissection in particular influenced Melodic Death Metal bands (this genre pretty much influenced every metalcore band in the 2000's) like At the Gates, In flames and Dark Tranquility.
Yeah man totally agree but it was Dark medieval times that got me into Satyricon. The pure saturation of the instruments in that album makes it sound so ambient. Black metal was always anti-mosh and more about creating a more elegant and dark atmosphere.
Mariah Mejia Hmm, there first record, probably not. It's hard for first listeners to get into that raw bestial guttural black metal style that later bands like Beherit and Archgoat would use.
Black metal is my favorite genre Mgła is a really good band to get into. You should definitely listen to Exercises in Futility. It will completely change your perspective of Black Metal.
I'm into Burzum My friend got me into black metal because before becoming a fan of black metal I loved thrash metal btw I still love thrash metal and I'm starting to blackened death metal band that talks about war and aliens
@@Highrollinhunter Your music taste will evolve and very different as you get older. I started out with Metallica, and thrash metal will always be great :)
I'm a Metal guitarist who plays different styles but my stuff is mostly Black Metal or Blackened Death Metal. I listen to different genres of Metal but on my phone it's mostly been a mix of Deathcore, Death Metal, Slam (no Slam Police!😱😂) Black Metal, Metalcore, Nu-metal: Shadow of Intent, Lorna Shore, Thy Art Is Murder, Amon Amarth, Guttural Slug, Parkway Drive, Grima, Behemoth, Goatwhore, Empreror, Slipknot, Korn. I'm 33, I grew up on Nu-Metal, Death Metal and Black Metal. 🤘
i dont listen to a lot of metal and haven't fully explored many subgenres BUT i love doom metal and specifically funeral doom metal. its the most relaxing music ever
Dude, check out the band Ahab. Especially their debut Call of the Wretched Sea. Funeral Doom that is coherent and it's heavy as fuck. Each song is like a journey. the opening track Below the Sun is one of the heaviest songs ever written.
@@mattias2576 an old Metal meme. It's "True Cool" misspelled as Trve Kvlt, because vowels are for pussies. It's essentially satirizing the attitude of metal elitists who can only enjoy metal that's really underground and pure to it's style like the original wave of Norwegian Black metal. If the band is overly melodic or uses more "symphonic" instruments they are not Trve Kvlt, they are shitty posers and you should feel inferior for liking them. If the band doesn't sound like it has been recorded in an underground bunker with a $10 mic they are not Trve Kvlt. If they sing about anything else but Murder and Satan they are not Trve Kvlt. Actually if you record anything outside of a demo you might as well stop because you've already sold out. That's a bit of an overly exaggerated description of the Trve Kvult attitude, but it get's the point across. It's not always used in a negative sense though.
When that steel/aluminum meme came up it reminded me once when I went to Europe I wanted to buy some metal cds so when I translated it for this one shop owner he sent me to a warehouse were they literally sold sheets of metal lol.
@9:35 hardcore enthusiasts of heavy/thrash metal are known to hate glam metal. There's a whole movement behind it that influence a resurgence of heavy metal in the late 90's with bands like 3 Inches Of Blood (a band I'm "bloody" fond of, pun intended).
God, I don't wanna be that guy but you sound like such a old grumpy man when you explain grindcore. "It's just noise". Isn't that the phrase we've all heard yet despise so much when it come to describing metal?
@@luismaturano4774 carcass are NOT grindcore, there first album is the only (goregrind) grindcore album. In fact no one even consider them as grindcore. Also I'd like to know what grindcore albums you've listened to that sound like noise.
For some great modern black metal check out The Infernal Sea, Aklash, Fen and A Forest Of Stars. A lot of classic black metal people don't get because it's so raw but that's the thing about it - it was totally DIY. In the early 90s a lot of folk didn't get the luxury of slicing up your perfectly polished takes. You were literally stuck in a shed in Norway recording through a toothbrush haha. It's best compared to shit like the early DIY DC hardcore scene and bands like Minor Threat. Darkthrone and Bathory both have a really obvious hardcore punk influence. Obviously some bands have gone big budget. Contrast Behemoth's first album which is oldschool black metal with The Satanist or Evangelion. Or Emperor's early stuff with Ishahn's later work.
Atmospheric Black Metal has been my favourite subgenre for black metal so far. Bands like Leviathan, Xasthur, Gris, Sombres Forets, Nachtmystium to name a few.
Jake McB Well it was actually 'Satanica' that brought us 'Chant for Eschaton'. 'The Apostasy's version is the re-recorded version of it, and yes, it's a very good song.
I mean dark funeral, mgla and most melodic black metal is pretty decent. Nail them to the cross by dark funeral is a good starter for easing into black metal
Metal shoots itself on the leg in trying to invent a genre to every band there is and then some. If you ask what is good metal you don't want to have a list of 200 subgenres but list of good music and bands worth of giving a try.
People in general need to stop putting boundaries on music if you like music You Like Music whether it be rock or any type of metal or even if it's rapper or country or hippie music or whatever it's music just like it because you like it
Yeah. Same. And anything "blackened" is fuckin amazing so that alone I figured would bump up the respect for the genre. This is something that I've noticed about a lotta the metalcore scene though. They sit in this little window and draw most of their influence from other metalcore bands instead of continuing to draw from different metal subgenres and hardcore like earlier bands did. They usually have no relationship with any metal or hardcore scenes either. I know people who aren't like this and like and play MC but love DM or grind or whatever but for a lotta people they seem to only fw metalcore and maybe deathcore or very similar genres. I started with punk and hardcore then branched out to it's derivatives, subs and synthesis genres like crust, grind, etc, then got into DM, BM and the genres they influence and I may go to an Agnostic Front show one week, a Magrudergrind show the next and a Vital Remains show after that. But a lotta people sit in a bubble. I think a lot of it has to do with how they listen to the music too. Like I don't rock BM riding down the road or cleaning the house lol I don't listen to punk or hardcore when I'm relaxing. For me at least, music is kinda situational and mood-based. I remember figuring this out in my mid-teens listening to Burzum (fuck Varg, but the music is solid) with headphones on laying down in the dark. If I'd have thrown that shit on while I was skating I'd have probably hated it and never listened to it again. Just like if I'd have laid down and put on Cryptopsy I'd have probably not dug it so much either 😂 Just depends.
Regular Black and the original Norwegian style is pretty boring, outside of Emperor, but they were already kind of pushing the genre forward with actually good musicianship. it does say something about the genre when most of the originators have moved away from their awful early sound and have become more serious about making good music.
Hardcore Black Metal (especially 1st wave) I can't really get into while it's nice to have in the background sometimes but I will say I absolutely love Atmospheric Black Metal
I'm surprised that nobody mentioned Gothic Metal... Anyways, Best - Gothic Metal (Type O negative is my favorite band...) Worst - Nothing particular. All I care about is if the band actually feels their music. You can easily tell the difference between bands that make music for the money, and bands that truly feel the music they're making. I hope what I said makes sense.
I listen to pretty much anything with Symphonic in its description. Nightwish, Kamelot, Wintersun, Fleshgod Apocalypse, all kinds of good stuff out there and I'm a sucker for anything with an orchestra
@@NoTbAdDuDE134 Napalm Death - The Code is red...Long Live The Code watch?v=cnhXQfQHkdQ There's a reason why Many metalheads who hate -core music tolerate or even like some Grindcore. Also helps that many bands actually do proper growling instead of the whiny screamo nonsense -core bands tend to be known for.
1st wave is from like mid 80s to beginning 2000's. Bands like All Out War, Arkangel, Disembodied, Merauder... I enjoy this wave the most tbh. Just so heavy with gnarly ass riffs

You're right, pornogrind isn't good, it's amazing!
What you said about diversity in hardcore and metalcore is also the case with black metal. Not all of them have shit recording and just shrieking and the genre has changed a lot. I'm certainly a fan of the more atmospheric and symphonic stuff. But it is a genre that takes some time to get into. Some nice black metal bands in my opinion: Moonsorrow, Harakiri for the Sky, Agalloch, Alcest, Solstafir, Oathbreaker, A Forest of Stars, Dimmu Borgir, Mgla, Rotting Christ, Moonspell. Many Folk metal also have black influences (Finntroll, Eluveitie, Ensiferum, Wintersun, Kvelertak ...). Lots of different black metal variations out there.
Keep up the videos, cheers!
Thank you for the insight! Wasn't aware that there were different varieties I thought it was a confined sound, thank you again!
You're welcome! I thought it was good to mention because I used to think the same way about black metal, but when I found the more accessible bands like Moonsorrow I really got into it, especially the unique atmospheres and emotions. Some black metal elitists will of course say there is only one trve kind of black metal, namely the one you guys described.
On a side note, a friend of mine has made an entire thesis on the evolution of black metal (in dutch).
I like the more atmospheric and symphonic sound for instance: Nightwish, sonata arctica, epica, stratovarius, apocalyptica, xandria,
catamenia, xandria, sabaton, kamelot, wintersun, dragonforce,
rhapsody of fire, helloween and masterplan
I agree, although I wouldn't exactly categorize Kvelertak as Folk Metal... more like Black 'n' Roll
rotting christ is fucking amazing
Jared dines: insults black metal
Necrobutcher: I was also planning to kill Jared dines along with eronymous
I also used to hate BM.But then I actually listened and experienced BM,and now I adore BM.BM is truly awesome and beautiful.

It is tragically ironic that Metal has been able to create the single most loyal community of fans in history and yet we've still manage to have the most sickeningly solipsistic, elitists assholes acting as self appointed ambassadors to boot! Just imagine how many of these "More metal than you!" Types would find their collective craniums exploding like that scene out of the movie Scanners if just one of us chose Avant-Garde metal as best! Close minds cannot comprehend anything experimental and nonlinear. So anything that deviates from their chosen formula just offends their senses to no end.
Welcome to humanity, where everything is a pissing contest
That's why I don't associate with metalheads. Bunch of wankers.
"recorded on a nokia that's down the road" hahahahaha
What makes me laugh is that they say they can’t get into BM vocals while I can’t get into death metal/grind vocals!
Death metal growls vary a lot tbh!
I'm the same. that's why I love Death because their vocals in their later stuff was much higher
rhdrbob listen to atilla dmds vocals and hat from gorgoroth pentagram vocals and tell me they sound similar
I feel like there is a massive misconception floating on the Internet about what grindcore sounds like. The two genre that sound the same are "pornogrind" (Torsofuck, Rompeprop, CABT) and "goregrind" (Last Days Of Humanity, Haemorrage, Inhume...), with different lyric themes. Lots of mid-tempo grooves with some fast blast passages, overly simple riffs, vocals sound like a kitchen sink. However, traditional old grindcore (Napalm Death, Nasum, Rotten Sound, Wormrot...) is very different. Really fast blast beats, screaming vocals, short songs, often politically charged lyrics. Basically thrash, but faster.
Grindcore and it's subgenres are generally extremely good!
SteelSkin667 Grindcore: "Thrash but faster"
Couldn't have summed it up better.
Grindcore is essentially death metal and hardcore punk combined
lithium aero no that’s crust punk. Or “crustcore”.
Grindcore is hardcore punk and and heavy metal.
SteelSkin667 also, Agathocles best band!

Windir is one of the greatest black metal bands I've ever heard. Would recommend the song's "Journey to the End" and "On the Mountain of Goats"
Behemoth started black metal, and is now blackened death metal. Still great though.
lol behemoth didnt start black metal
Andreea-Maria they did, In fact, start as a black metal band.
neverb mind i misunderstood your sentence im very tired i thought you meant they started the whole thing what the fuck
I can't recommend Windir enough. Journey to the End is just orgasmic.

2. Thrash
3. 80s hair metal

5am can't sleep, don't ask why i did this.
Nasser Thani as a fellow power and folk metal fan i recommend equilibrium, start with songs like unbesiegt, blut im auge, die weide und der fluss, and snuffel
Nasser Thani so totally agree.
I recommend Alestorm, and as an extention Gloryhammer based on this list (nice list btw)
If you like Rammstein then you should check out Lindmann and/or Firelake...

Helloween

“Every black metal band sounds like they are recorded through a flip phone”
Behemoth: “you talking mad shit bro.”
Thelema.666 and before start sounding pretty bad production-wise
Behemoth isn’t black metal though
they did sound like that in their 90s black phase, though
Immortal - At the Heart of Winter Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse
Those are two legendary black metal albums that have awesome production and are great for people looking to get into the genre
What about Dissection's Storm of the Light's Bane? That sure is in that category.
Winter Fire Another great choice, that’s an awesome album
Everyone’s been saying it but Agalloch - The Mantle as well is a great way to get into black metal
gotta say i love me some metalcore, Everything from Killswitch Engages discogrophy is gold. All That Remains had a pretty good run until their last 3 albums. August Burns Red, a newer Australian metalcore band called Polaris. I could go on and on about how great metalcore is.

Pqnos Kanos I love Black.
Pqnos Kanos Dissection was good there's so many amazing Black Metal bands out there that have come and gone(thousands) it's impossible to name them all I've been listening to Black Metal for 15 years, my collection of black metal has between 1500 to 2000 bands.
Glad someone posted this. Nights Blood is no joke.
Well, dissection is death metal with satanic lyrics.. but close..
Niphilim on a band like that I feel like we're splitting hairs. Pretty close to black metal at least.
The worst metal, in general, is anything fake/trying too hard or recorded on a defective, waterlogged toaster.
Personally, I'm a fan of gothic, symphonic, folk, swing (there's literally just Diablo Swing Orchestra), power and a tiny bit of black (Cradle of Filth).
But 95% of the bands I like are female-fronted; gotta have dem b00tyful, klean vokillz.
I was scrolling through comments just to make sure I'm not one if the only or rare ones and I have to agree with you.
I'm not a musician, lyrics and vocals are very important to me but love the music hard heavy and fast :/ so im picky

I think that even in bad genres is good bands. Like, there’s not very many genres that have no good bands.
For example, I’m not really a big fan of Nu Metal, but I like Rage Against the Machine.
There’s so many other examples out there.
Alexis Harper I 100% agree. I normally HATE numetal, but I like System of a Down.
Jax LaPoint I don't think of System of a Down and Rage against the Machine as NuMetal really. I may be wrong.
Akuma-Metal I never did, even at the time, but so what? I didn't like most of what I heard. And these days it is largely dead (although I'm sure some of these bands are still around).
RATM was several years too early to be NuMetal IMHO. Rap metal yes, but that's a different genre. I wouldn't call Bodycount NuMetal.
Akuma-Metal I get where you're coming from, but there are other things. NuMetal was pretty stripped down, RATM yes but not as much. I tend to think of the term NuMetal as a bit of a marketing gimmick for bands around the millenium invented by the record companies.
NuMetal for me is the offspring od RATM and rap metal... kind of a more commercial version
rage is not Nu-metal
Satyricon is a great starter black metal band. I would recommend there 3rd album Nemesis Divina. Mother North the song is a good starter. Black Metal generally is about creating a dark but beautiful atmosphere rather than trying to play heavy fast technical or slow heavy riffs and breakdowns. There are good and bad bands in every metal genre.
Another way to get into Black Metal is If you guys already like metalcore (duh), then check out Melodic Black Metal bands like Dissection, Sacramentum. Dissection in particular influenced Melodic Death Metal bands (this genre pretty much influenced every metalcore band in the 2000's) like At the Gates, In flames and Dark Tranquility.
Yeah man totally agree but it was Dark medieval times that got me into Satyricon. The pure saturation of the instruments in that album makes it sound so ambient. Black metal was always anti-mosh and more about creating a more elegant and dark atmosphere.
So is sarcofago
Mariah Mejia Hmm, there first record, probably not. It's hard for first listeners to get into that raw bestial guttural black metal style that later bands like Beherit and Archgoat would use.
Vinny V worked on me
Mariah Mejia Depends. If someone already likes Sepultura's, than they will probably appreciate xSARCOFAGOx.

Dude, check out the band Ahab. Especially their debut Call of the Wretched Sea. Funeral Doom that is coherent and it's heavy as fuck. Each song is like a journey. the opening track Below the Sun is one of the heaviest songs ever written.

Ok am new what is kvlt? Is it like cult?
Connor Adamy but yeah, def agree with that, satyricon is also really good
@@mattias2576
an old Metal meme. It's "True Cool" misspelled as Trve Kvlt, because vowels are for pussies.
It's essentially satirizing the attitude of metal elitists who can only enjoy metal that's really underground and pure to it's style like the original wave of Norwegian Black metal. If the band is overly melodic or uses more "symphonic" instruments they are not Trve Kvlt, they are shitty posers and you should feel inferior for liking them. If the band doesn't sound like it has been recorded in an underground bunker with a $10 mic they are not Trve Kvlt. If they sing about anything else but Murder and Satan they are not Trve Kvlt. Actually if you record anything outside of a demo you might as well stop because you've already sold out.
That's a bit of an overly exaggerated description of the Trve Kvult attitude, but it get's the point across. It's not always used in a negative sense though.
Twist? That album is literally 100% Death Metal
Best: Gumpcore Death Groove Shrimp Slam
Worst: Post-apocalyptic jazz flute death grind

@9:35 hardcore enthusiasts of heavy/thrash metal are known to hate glam metal. There's a whole movement behind it that influence a resurgence of heavy metal in the late 90's with bands like 3 Inches Of Blood (a band I'm "bloody" fond of, pun intended).

For some great modern black metal check out The Infernal Sea, Aklash, Fen and A Forest Of Stars.
A lot of classic black metal people don't get because it's so raw but that's the thing about it - it was totally DIY. In the early 90s a lot of folk didn't get the luxury of slicing up your perfectly polished takes. You were literally stuck in a shed in Norway recording through a toothbrush haha. It's best compared to shit like the early DIY DC hardcore scene and bands like Minor Threat. Darkthrone and Bathory both have a really obvious hardcore punk influence. Obviously some bands have gone big budget. Contrast Behemoth's first album which is oldschool black metal with The Satanist or Evangelion. Or Emperor's early stuff with Ishahn's later work.
Atmospheric Black Metal has been my favourite subgenre for black metal so far. Bands like Leviathan, Xasthur, Gris, Sombres Forets, Nachtmystium to name a few.
Behemoth's The Satanist and Evangelion are great black metal/blackened death metal albums.
Tyson Woods Don't forget Demigod and the Apostatsy
Those are great albums as well, but they lean more towards the death metal side imo.
Tyson Woods I mean The Apostatsy gave us Chant for Eschaton 2000 EV, which id argue is one of the best black metal songs ever written
Tyson Woods
Awesome albums.
Jake McB Well it was actually 'Satanica' that brought us 'Chant for Eschaton'. 'The Apostasy's version is the re-recorded version of it, and yes, it's a very good song.
I mean dark funeral, mgla and most melodic black metal is pretty decent. Nail them to the cross by dark funeral is a good starter for easing into black metal
Metal shoots itself on the leg in trying to invent a genre to every band there is and then some. If you ask what is good metal you don't want to have a list of 200 subgenres but list of good music and bands worth of giving a try.
onsese joo you have a very valid point. You can’t always put a label on the feel of each specific artist

Same here
Have you guys ever heard of We Butter The Bread With Butter? They’re a semi-electronic German metalcore group
Damn, I love me some black metal. This hurts to watch lol
Yeah. Same. And anything "blackened" is fuckin amazing so that alone I figured would bump up the respect for the genre.
This is something that I've noticed about a lotta the metalcore scene though. They sit in this little window and draw most of their influence from other metalcore bands instead of continuing to draw from different metal subgenres and hardcore like earlier bands did. They usually have no relationship with any metal or hardcore scenes either.
I know people who aren't like this and like and play MC but love DM or grind or whatever but for a lotta people they seem to only fw metalcore and maybe deathcore or very similar genres.
I started with punk and hardcore then branched out to it's derivatives, subs and synthesis genres like crust, grind, etc, then got into DM, BM and the genres they influence and I may go to an Agnostic Front show one week, a Magrudergrind show the next and a Vital Remains show after that. But a lotta people sit in a bubble.
I think a lot of it has to do with how they listen to the music too. Like I don't rock BM riding down the road or cleaning the house lol I don't listen to punk or hardcore when I'm relaxing. For me at least, music is kinda situational and mood-based. I remember figuring this out in my mid-teens listening to Burzum (fuck Varg, but the music is solid) with headphones on laying down in the dark. If I'd have thrown that shit on while I was skating I'd have probably hated it and never listened to it again. Just like if I'd have laid down and put on Cryptopsy I'd have probably not dug it so much either 😂 Just depends.
darkarchon and kids who are in love with core and numetal and know nothing about brutal as shit
Regular Black and the original Norwegian style is pretty boring, outside of Emperor, but they were already kind of pushing the genre forward with actually good musicianship. it does say something about the genre when most of the originators have moved away from their awful early sound and have become more serious about making good music.
Hardcore Black Metal (especially 1st wave) I can't really get into while it's nice to have in the background sometimes but I will say I absolutely love Atmospheric Black Metal
It hurts even more, cause after black i also like grindcore.
Not going to lie getting into metal from a punk rock background has made Crossover Thrash is really close to my heart.
👍
In my opinion punk is better.
I'm surprised that nobody mentioned Gothic Metal... Anyways,
Best - Gothic Metal (Type O negative is my favorite band...)
Worst - Nothing particular. All I care about is if the band actually feels their music. You can easily tell the difference between bands that make music for the money, and bands that truly feel the music they're making. I hope what I said makes sense.

Amon Amarth being the best Melodic Death Metal band. :)

There's a reason why Many metalheads who hate -core music tolerate or even like some Grindcore. Also helps that many bands actually do proper growling instead of the whiny screamo nonsense -core bands tend to be known for.
Behemoth, Gorgoroth, and old Mayhem/Emperor aren't that bad. I'm not a black metal dude either Dickie.
Griffin Langhans old Mayhem and Emperor has always been great. Behemoth of old and new are awesome. Behemoth is only getting better.
1st wave is from like mid 80s to beginning 2000's. Bands like All Out War, Arkangel, Disembodied, Merauder...
I enjoy this wave the most tbh. Just so heavy with gnarly ass riffs
