Black/Death Metal bands I should try out?

[DerMeister]

Hello
Have anyone got any suggestions on which black or death metal bands I should try out? I have a sudden hunger for black metal, but in the countryside in Norway, there aren't many stores who sell this kind of music...
I already have the most "popular" ones, such as Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth, Children of Bodom, In Flames and Emperor, but I need more!!!!!
Please help me!!

Thanx.....:beer:

[Machinegunman]

You should try Night in Gales. Thats a really good german death band.
They´re melodic and i think influenced by this all this nordish ( ? ) stuff.,
My suggestions are:

get everything from the album Nailwork

go to night-in-gales.de to get some information about them

BLACK METAL: MAYHEM "U.S. LEGION" "WOLF LAIR'S ABYSS", ENSLAVED "FROST"

DEATH METAL: SUFFOCATION "PIERCED FROM WITHIN", MORBID ANGEL "ALTAR OF MADNESS", CRYPTOPSY "NONE SO VILE"

[Katham]

Burzum...

well, hoped I helped

[DerMeister]

Thanx to all that contributed.
I've tried some of them, but sadly, not all lived up to my expectations.
But my expectations were perhaps too high.

Arch Enemy and Borknagar are two of my new favourites...

And wannabe...if you are to mention power metal, you can't leave out Sonata Arctica!!!!! Shame on you...(OF COURSE I know HammerFall, Nightwish, Gamma Ray and all those!!! Who doesn't??? Check my favourites...)

A huge thanx to all of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:vampire:

[An-Ri-Na-Sidhe]

power metal, hmmmmmmmm black abyss

[Katham]

Oh, yeah, early Napalm and Cripple!!! :D :D :D

BTW, if you say Lock Up is grindcore, you should have been mentioned late Napalm Death too...

And - in my opinion - grindcore is a bit closer to punk (HC/Crust) than Death Metal... Maybe... It's only my opinion... Grindcore bands cover bands like Discharge shitloads of times...

I bought the new Arch Enemy, what an amazing band! The Amott brothers really shred!

I'm in love with their singer too:love: :D

[MetalPoldi]

Sorry, but what catgory is Behemoth? And Fintroll?

[An-Ri-Na-Sidhe]

Lock Up aren't like later Napalm Death, later ND is just death metal, mostly coz Barney is too slow a vocalist, he can't even growl properly!

some grind is punky but thats mostly older grind (early ND) but some is very deathy (Abaddon Incarnate)

[An-Ri-Na-Sidhe]

oh and to all POWER METAL fans (i'm not one, i just like a few bands)

has any of you heard of Black Abyss?? if you have what do u think? and if not download some then come back!

[Disciple]

Behemoth started out as a blackmetal band with deathmetal influences but now they play deathmetal with few blackmetal influences thrown in.

[DerMeister]

Is it wrong to call Finntroll black? Black Folk Metal fits, I think....

The solo of Arch Enemy's Ravenous gives me goosebumps!!!!
I've just ordered the limited edition of Wages of Sin. Smart move?

(Is their singer hot?)

[Keket]

The first of Behemoth, i recomended without doubts!!!!!

Lymbonic Art "Moon in Scorpio":) is like hearing a terror movie...

twin obsenity ( any album) there are all great.

Hollenthon is a great band too, i cant say that an ordinary black metal band, but they have nice and fast songs with nice egyptian samples .

Ulver ( the first is my favourite) but as Arcturus, any album as something that makes you want to bought it.

Abissos!!! Vampyric black-fast-metal!!!this band remindsme at Anorexia Nervosa and the twoo blow out my head:) if someone likes vampyric black metal....listen to them!!!

[Vortigern]

(Is their singer hot?)

does a guitar have strings? perhaps you should nominate her in the 'metalbabe' thread.

behemoth and limbonic art: yessss!!!

[danzig]

IF YOU'RE GOING TO LISTEN TO BLACK METAL LISTEN TO IMMORTAL,AS WELL AS OTHERS, BUT TRUTHFULLY, FIRST LISTEN TO THE ORIGINAL
VENOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!666!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THEY ARE THE ORIGINAL BLACK METAL BAND-THEY GAVE THE GENRE ITS NAME. DON'T BELEIVE ME, TAKE A LOOK AT THEIR DISCOGRAPHY, THE ALBUM BLACK METAL GAVE THE GENRE ITS NAME.

I think you said the Venom shit like 20 times just today

[Vortigern]

all of the above. but do try Triumphator's album 'Wings Of Antichrist'. it kicks christian butt.

by the way, I like Venom, but let's face it: they're nowhere near as good as say Emperor or Arcturus (the older stuff).

[DerMeister]

Fuck, who dug up this one?
This thread is like half a year old, and I'm now a fan of Immortal, Dissection and Limbonic Art + + + But I'm still looking for more good shit, so just keep on posting.

[Lord Malphas]

well I have a website with a list of Black, Death Metal bands there are like 170+ bands and I have to update soon so check it out you may find some bands you don't know.

BTW don't take this shit like SPAM

[Vortigern]

Aye.
I've only got the latest Limbonic Art, but I've listened to a few of the others, and they fucking kick ASS!

[Vortigern]

Amen (?) to that! How good is 'The Ultimate Death Worship'? Because that's the only Limbonic Art-record I don't (yet) have.

[morbid_death]

i love that song.

some personal reccomendations to the thread:

black metal:
Limbonic Art - The Ultimate Death Worship
Rotting Christ - Genesis
Marduk - Panzer Division Marduk
Destroyer 666 - Phoenix Rising (hard to call them black metal though. they are very border line black/death if you ask me, just keeping it old school with that gritty black metal sound)

death metal:
Morbid Angel - anything!! (Altars of Madness, Blessed are the Sick, Covenant, Domination, Entangled in Chaos, Forumlas Fatal to the Flesh, Gateways to Annihilation)
Hate Eternal - King of all Kings
Cannibal Corpse - Tomb of the Mutilated, &, Bloodthirst
Deicide - Deicide (self titled)
Obituary - Anthology (has all the greatest Obituary tunes :D)
Nile - In the Beginning (great tracks from their demo's that appear on Catacombs of Nephren-Ka and Black Seeds of Vengence)
Napalm Death - anything...but a personal favourite of mine is Harmony Corruption.

[Darkenelf]

Get bands as the following:

Hades Almighty
Forest of Soul
Forgotten Woods
Unanimated
Ancient Wisdom
Manegarm
Sacrilege
In the Woods
Graveland
Gorgoroth
Ancient
Black Swan
Necromicon
Ouhija
Blood storm
Lucifer's Hammer
Under Black Clouds
Novembre

I think you like most of them!

[DerMeister]

Well, Vortigern, the word brilliant is fitting. Some of the songs have a really psycho sound to them too.

Lemme see, Darkenelf.....You have all these cool bands! I've tried some of them before, like Ancient, Hades Almighty, Black Swan and Gorgoroth. Only one I didn't like was Gorgoroth.

If you like melodic stuff check out Vinterland. Cds out of print but you can find it on soul seek.
