    You guys asked A LOT for a video on bands from both of this countries, so here you go. I was thinking for a while on doing a video on the Black Metal bands from Finland. And I found quite a few bands I now enjoy a lot from Greece. And before you go comment, yes, I know the correct term for the greek scene is Hellenic Black Metal.
    Mix and master done by myself too.
    I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE MUSIC. Please support the bands in any way you can.

    Two things before you tear me a new one. Firstly: yes, I know the correct name is HELLENIC Black Metal. I just think that there’s a lot of people not aware of that, so I just named it like this so the most amount of people know what’s up. Second: I don’t know if you can actually watch this video in HD or 4k. I recorded it on 4k so it should be good, but I think it got messed up during exporting. Hope it’s good.

    I'm So glad that finally someone mentioned our precious Hellenic black metal scene! But it makes me sad that non Greek black metal fans glorifies the Hellenic scene more than we do here in Greece! I love my country but sometimes im a bit dissapointed because we don't promote our selfs as much as we must and as much as other countries do... Not only in black metal...we don't have to be jealous of the Norwegians or the Finish even the Swedish...although i respect them all Hails to all black metal brothers around the world!!!🤘🔥

    I will speak not like Greek but as a guy that lived the atmosphere of late 90's being a member of black metal bands in Greece.It was amazing times with really occult feeling we were some of the first bands getting on stage with corpse paint here at 1996-97. My band was 'Mortem examination' and our brother band 'Carpathian lords' many lives on stages here Athens. There was times watching the head bands of Greece Rotting, Deviser, Kawir, Naer Mataron, Varathron, Thu art lord. I will remmber all these years always with love and nostalgia.

    I'm not gonna let my patriotism take over and just say Finland takes the W here. The Greek black metal is incredible, they have more melodic riffs and their sound is overall more atmospheric in my opinion where as Finnish is darker and more on the raw side of black metal which i tend to like more and makes it more appealing to me personally. Great video as always, keep it up man!

    Kinda surprised that you used a song with a faster tempo to represent Varathron; in my opinion, their best songs are the ones with the slower, more traditional doom-esque tempos. Think “Under the Sight of Horus” from Walpurgisnacht or “Kabalistic Invocation of Solomon” from Untrodden Corridors of Hades.

    Hellas wins because of Necromantia, Varathron, Der Sturmer, and Wolfnacht. Old Nightfall and Rotting Christ are cool too but they became so awful later on.

    I thought Greece only had one band.
