"The year 2000 isn't real, it can't hurt you"
Havukruunu and Stormkeep are also among my favorite bands from the 21th century
Kaevum is the true highlight of the 21st century. Especially their lastest album Kultur, which is pretty much an equal to the best of Black Metal. In the veins of Nattestid Ser Porten Vid and Under The Sign of Hell, best of Black Metal still comes from Norway to this day, interestingly enough.
I remember discovering Ungfell thanks to one of your collection videos and now they've become my favorite black metal band!
Theres some really good stuff on these records man. Thank you so much for doing this video.
Another excellent vid , accompanied by an excellent shirt choice!
some absolute amazing picks right there
Thanks for the recommendations
love your passion for obscure metal bands dude!
That Thantifaxath album was awesome! Thank you for the suggestion
Thantifaxath - this band never ceases to amaze me. Found them via Metal Music Theory channel, just before their latest album came out. I listen to Surgical Utopian Love and alwayls find some new aspects. And to add bands from the "similar" ground - Imperial Triumphant and Krallice.
Svartkonst - love their classic swedish Boss HM-2 guitar tone and melodic parts.
I also found out about Thantifaxath via Metal Music Theory. Great stuff, indeed!
Svart-da-oo-fooss.
Excellent list BTW, also appreciate the inclusion of Misþyrming, even though the Icelandic black metal scene isn't as hyped as it was before the 2nd Svartiđaudi album, they're still putting out excellent material.
thats an illegal shirt please hand it over
Nope!! 👎
Says who? Cry about it 😎
@@Lazarus37F 99.1945% sure it was a joke
Burzum Shirt + Meguiar's Wheel & Tire Cleaner; have your wheels looking NICE 😙👌.....
Bro what are you talking about? I'm pretty sure that merch came from Kanye West
Wyattxhim, great video as always. As someone that began to explore the more extreme acts of music after being primarily a prog rock/metal fan for most of their life ( Huge lifelong DT fan), your videos were my gateway into the black and death metal subgenre.
Hey wyatt, i bumped into you at a concert in iceland in the stairwell of the venue and we both looked so shocked that i couldnt really spit it out at the time but i just want to thank you for helping me and so many others gain more knowledge about the music they love. Hope you had a great time in iceland with your wife, Big Love
Nice list. I've been enjoying Nornir from Germany and Blood Countess from the UK.
Awesome list! A couple more 21st-century bands I love are Lamp of Murmuur and Mephorash. Lamp plays some bread-and-butter second wave stuff, but with undercurrents of other genres that are pretty refreshing (the only exception being the latest release, which was a very overt tribute to Immortal’s At the Heart of Winter). Submission and Slavery is the fan favorite album for a good reason, and I hope the goth rock twist is a style that they’ll return to in the future.
As for Mephorash, after a bit of a rough start, they’ve really come into their own with their last three full lengths. They play a very orchestral and borderline ceremonial kind of black metal, kinda like Cult of Fire, Batushka, or some of Behemoth’s work. What makes Mephorash stand out to me is how well the songs flow into each other and how cohesive their sound has become - 2023’s Krystl-Ah sounds like it was recorded almost immediately after 2019’s Shem Ha Mephorash, which in turn sounds like an extension of their 2015 album.
The first black metal band I got into is Kaossacrementum so they hold a special place in my heart. good video here!
Solid choices!!!
Can’t believe he didn’t mention Krallice
I actually found out about krallice a while back. Their album diotima made me fully believe they need to make some kind of soundtrack.
Aquilus also is a perfect project specially debut album is so damn good
💤
The lack of Panopticon is concerning, but otherwise, thank you!
Gaerea is from Portugal. New one too, they're known out there (I prefer Black Cilice though ;))
obrigado!
Totally love to see Ungfell in the list. If you haven't, you should also check out Kvelgeyst and Ophanim.
Modern BM favs of mine are Fluisteraars, Toadeater (rip), Lustre, Atronos, Houle, Afsky, and Grift (rip).
Grift black metal era was great
I love Human Serpent so fucking much. RIP.
Akhlys and Thantifaxath are amazing bands as well. Good overall list. I'd add VI for the people who enjoy Deathspell Omega (check out Aosoth while at it).
Other random suggestions I can think of at the top of my head: Gevurah, Ancst and Ultha
My favorite blackmetal at this moment is wiegedood. 2 guitar players and a drummer and just absolutely menacing energy. Also live just out of this world highly recommend
one of my favorites is panopticon. Just stunning atmospheric USBM.
Saw Penséés Nocturnés live,, what a great band
Portuguese here. Really cool to know you have "Tuga" blood in you. Gaerea are probably the best black metal band from Portugal at the moment, they are roughly 10 years old, you should give them a chance, they are indeed good. Regarding Portuguese metal, yeah, most people only know Moonspell unfortunately. But we do have a very small and cool metal scene, bands like Besta (grindcore), OAK (black / doom), Grog (crust), and so on, have loads of potential! Greetings from Porto.
Another band I found which is a bandcamp find is a band called HHWWAUOCH. They’re part of a collective called the Prava kollective. Just extremely dense and chaotic black metal. Very bass driven. This project is the one that stands out to me the most of the collective
Portrayal of Guilt is really nice too. Formed in 2017
One of the top notch modern black metal bands which is also criminally underrated is Deus Mortem. They play very aggressive type of black metal which is varied at the same time with lots fantastic riffs, solos, vocal sections and slower parts as well. They released 2 full length albums so far, but their EP "Demons of Matter and the Shells of the Dead" exemplifies their style the best.
By the way, I'm really glad you mentioned Cultes des Ghoules and Kriegsmaschine! They are another awesome bands from Poland.
I gotta say man, in my Black Metal listening, which has been fairly lengthy I guess, i can handle a bit now. Not a lot of it gets to me or disturbs me, but that Ahklys...that was really intense. It actually made me ask myself if I should keep listening to it or to stop. Of course, I cant resist and I will have to experience it again. But it makes me nervous to think of "going in there" again. 😊
why dont you suck on something to make you feel better?
Good shit. you should check out Horrendous. great melodic & technical band
This is a very good list of bands. I love Akhlys, Arizmenda, Azelisassath, Black Cilice, Cult of Fire, Cultes Des Ghoules, Forteresse, Human Serpent, Misthyrming, Negative Plane, Oranssi Pazuzu, Thantifaxath, Ungfell, and Véhémence too. These bands incorporate a lot of other genres in their music and have tight songwriting as well.
Thankyou for your insightful analysis.. why dont you do your own channel mindless2864?
@@gregwilson6636 Very funny way to insult my username. Because I don't feel the need to upload videos and would rather just comment. Wyatt has got me into many bands, many of such mentioned in this video.
Véhémence is so good, Antiq has awesome bands
@@astrometal1994 Véhémence is very good. I got introduced to them in 2022 when they dropped Ordales. Very good medieval black metal and proof that the French scene is one of the best.
Weird how it's in alphabetical order. Did you think them all up and then rearrange them after you typed them out? Sounds like a lot of effort 😅
If you have not already, consider listening to the Tliltic Tlapoyauak compilation it is black twillight circle bands and there is a lot of variety.
I recently discovered Lucifer's Child, a Greek black metal band that formed around 2013. They have a couple albums and a split album they did with Mystifier. They're pretty damn good, IMO.
I checked it out, holy crap what a stinker. Lucifer's Hammer rolls that crap up and smokes it
Can’t believe you haven’t included Urfaust in this list. Also, Oranssi Pazuzu are much more related to kraut rock (especially Can and Neu) than to Pink Floyd.
I enjoyed this video so much more than your "emotions" series . Thankyou for showcasing some black metal bands that I might enjoy in the future. A return to form in my opinion but I am probably in the minority since it seems that your audience loves to tell you what are their most comforting albums or some shite.
Some of my favorites are Imperial Triumphant, Thantifaxath, Suffering Hour, and The Axis of Perdition. Ahklys is also very good, though I need to listen to more. I'll give a side shoutout to Decoherence, a wild dissonant/industrial black metal band that's been gaining a little traction.
Speaking of Icelandic black metal, I really enjoy the scene there. Bands like Svartidaudi, Almyrkvi, Andavald, and Skaphé are all pretty wild. I have about the least "trve" taste ever, I'm all about the off-kilter experimental stuff
I missed KROD man from Chile, you definitely have to listen to them👹👹👹
That’s pretty interesting to hear that your ethnicity is Portuguese (my home country). Not a lot of (good) bands we have here but maybe check out Decayed, Sirius, Genocide, Desire (personal favorite) or Arcanus Tenebrae. But yeah I still think the best stuff to come out of here is black Cilice n candelabrum.
Yeah I didnt know that either, never would have thought he was portuguese
could you do an explaining AxCx vid? idk if anyone else asked but shits funny youd make it a good video
Hi Wyatt. If you're interested in Portuguese bands, I recently discovered Angrenost, whose latest album was just released by the mighty Norma Evangelium Diaboli (a seal of quality).
Brulvahnatu is such an unique project and their "Menstrual.." album is just great.
Please, consider Blattaria (2017 ST). Sadly, this band received such little attention, and I think it is undeservedly underrated. Chaotic black metal at it's finest
That's totally random but could you make a video covering sludge metal or bands in this genre?? I'd love a video like that from you
Aosoth, sinmara, svartidaudi, wormlust, andavald, naðra, zhrine, enevelde... I think black metal is more than alive and is still evolving and changing, thanks to the new projects that keep rising, challenging and expanding the genre sounds.
Terrestrial Hospice is one of my fav 21st century BM bands.
Caviary To The General is one of the best albums released last year. A personal favorite at the very least. The sound of that album is outstanding.
Love that Torture Chain album!
The last few years in particular have given us some excellent bands that are certain to gain traction in the coming; Scarlet Empyrean, Suicidechain, Arbor, Faith, Vereist & Self Execration to name a few... Definitely all worth a listen.
you should check out some of my favoutire neofolk bands called Sangre Cavallum and Falcata de Fogo they're both from Portugal
Would The Ruins Of Beverast be considered Black Metal enough?That band has been really consistently excellent for the last 20 years.
Mare Cognitum and Esoctrilihum would be my additions
love the shirt lol
I’ve been lately into Aara, Order of Nosferat, Wampyric Rites, and Till. Love human serpent!
The beginning of Spectre de la rebellion is playing in my head whenever I want to get amped up. Fucking love Forteresse.
I hope you won't mind if I suggest two marvelous bands from the Balkans. Both are worth checking out, IMO. Those are " prognan" and "ravens" (gavranovi - originally written in Cyrillic letters) .
Ash Pool, Judas Iscariot and Peste Noire were interesting projects from the last 15 years
Ash Pool is pretty nice, some of it sounds Black and Roll but cool project.
Judas Iscariot and 15 years? Is there a new project under the same moniker?
Judas Iscariot has been DONE for over 20 years already and KPN has been putting music out since like, 2000. The other band, I had never heard of until now, but they suck, and have been releasing music for 20 years already according to Metallum 😅
5:43 "Swar-ta-dow-thooz" if it's Proto-Germanic which I am pretty sure it is. I definitely have to get into more of his projects
I have no formal education on this shit I'm just a fuckin' nerd who had an "obsessed with ancient cultures" phase. lol
Check out Heimland, from Norway and started in 2016 .
Hey Wyatt would you ever consider making a vids on specific sub genre's like black/death and or death/doom?
One band I like that hasn’t been mentioned is Black Anvil, they follow a pretty straightforward blackened thrash formula but it’s a formula I love.
Some other good Portuguese bm bands are Decayed,Candle Serenade,and Filii Nigrantium Infernalium
Aosoth, Thantifaxath, Olhava, & Vukari immediately come to mind for me (haven’t completed the video yet, if any of these get mentioned)
blutschwur is a great pick too imo especially since they only formed in 2020 i believe
Finally someone talks about brulvahnatu
You need to check Kaevum and Deus Mortem. Easily my favorite BM bands of this century.
Human Serpent 🖤🖤
Personal add on's I think who are really great additions:
-Kommodus. For pushing that crunchy hardcore styled black metal but still raw black metal at heart not crossing the 'blackened *insert genre*' tag.
-Sanguine Relic. Could be in the same fame as obskuritatem for the vampyric themes. However the they seem to be at the forefront for this great riff department in the raw bm scene. Great packaging and presentation what's all so mysterious.
-Coldworld. Instantly noticed it in the background there but I would say theyre my favourite DSBM project and theyre song writing is truly something special. Keyboard and ambient work is just so surreal.
-Old Nick. Im not a fan of this band or the other projects the members have, but I see this band is quite popular, and I understand why. Making the Grausamkeit sound more popular but also a bit more playful and less repulsive.
-Carved Cross just purely for the super raw droney, minimal approach to black metal what is probably the best in Trance/Hypnotic raw bm sound.
Would say Kekht Arakh & Lamp of Murmuur due to popularity but can't say much about them.
Kommodus is goat tier. So good
That is a awesome P.O.D shirt
I going to be closing and re-opening this video a bit, I got some catching up to do clearly
Speaking of Portugal, I would argue that Gaerea is really stepping up in terms of becoming a big black metal band in todays modern BM scene.
Wyatt, don’t let Totale Vernichtung get under your radar. Definitely check them out, you’ll want to add them to the list when you sink your teeth in.
Actually Portugal has a well known black metal scene, and, strangely, Portugal is pretty good at experimental hip hop, such as Colonia Calunia, Notwan and record producer Vulto.
Check out Highland - Loyal to the Nightsky…. Modern classic
Regarding 21st century projects, I would say that Trhä from Mexico is quite interesting
I keep seeing Trhä’s name brought up a lot so I’ll definitely see later today what it’s all about.
@@wyattxhim I'm especially familiar with Vat gëlénva!!!, which is an album that helped me getting into the genre: really raw atmo-black that has quite a warm sound, especially thanks to that lovely cheap sound of the keyboards. Damián Antón Ojeda (the person behind the project) is also known for the blackgaze project Sadness (which I have yet to check out).
@@wyattxhim 29 albums and 1 EP since 2020 good luck on that discography dive 😄
Pls try Nimbifer
Are you kidding me? Portugal had a huge underground. Decayed, Fili Nigrantium Infernalium, Corpus Christi, Inner Helvete, Sumum Malum, Infernus, Lux Ferre, Epping Forest, Azagatel, Bloody Tears... shit, Desire, Coldness, Morte Incandescente, Stuprum Dei, Flama Aeterna, not to mention the atmospheric or folk stuff like Sangre Cavallum, Inverno, Karnoss, Wolfskin. Not sure how things are nowdays because life happened and I left the scene a while ago (thanks for showing me Black Cilice), but the scene was very healthy in the 90's and turn of the century.
Did you listen the latest abigor album?
I'd add Μνήμα ( from Greece) - check album "Disciples of Excremental Liturgies"
What a nice shirt
Good list of bands. I would have included Goatmoon, Satanic Warmaster, Peste Noire, Spite, Mgla and Lamp of Murmuur too
but nobody cares about your list you twit
Manybyrne, Odraza, Manni (technically its a continuation of Manes, but its also two separate bands), Ultha, Knokkelklang, Porenut, and Dodsengel, and of course the band behind the best Atmospheric Black metal album of all time Walknut are all my top recommendations.
Going to check some of these out!
Also don't you love that no one can talk shit about wearing a Burzum shirt anymore unless they would be as willing to admonish someone for wearing a Kanye shirt? Its kind of a beautiful fuck you to society!
You should get the Burzum-ception shirt of Kanye wearing his Burzum shirt.
Also Akhlys fucking RULES. I love how punchy and bright the production is, especially with their last album Melinoë. Same guy that does Cattle Decap productions.
thought you were going to put torture chain
Some of mine are imperium dekadenz and ringare
What do you think about thy darkened shade
To me i really enjoy band's like lifelover, harakiri for the sky, amesoeurs, none, ofdrykkja
Bro Listen To Gaerea Another Portuguese Black Metal band from Porto 🤘
One band i'm missing here is Ováte
Pretty cool band and could highly reccomend to people reading this comment
Good list, actually i think Obsequiae is much better than Vehemence if you looking for a good medieval sounding black metal
One band that is really missing from this list is Obsequiae
How do you find all these bands i struggle just to find one cool band every now and then.
okay so now its cool too wear burzum shirts again -gen z
Necrochamber and Crimson Moon
What about Drudkh? :D
What was the band you mentioned after Oranssi Pazuzu?I don't see a link for them in the description.
Pensees Nocturnes
Swartadauþuz menas blackdeath in english and Svartadöden in swedish. The wierd symbol, þ is pronounced like TH in the word “thing” or “think". His stage name in its original form is pronounced Swartadauthuz.
hey Wyatt, could you do a video on the second/third wave of brazilian black metal? i could say it's kinda difficult to understand what stuff is happening in there because there is not a lot of info on much of the bands and members (unless you are participating in it i guess), i could give you some insides too in case you are interested in it!
