Interesting question, but I think your poll choices above are a bit anaemic.

One of you sad sorry BM fanatics please educate me about this while being grim and necro :D

:flame: ahhh...there tends to be a misconception about Black Metal and i feel mostly that is due to that stupid book "Lords of Chaos". Black Metal is nothing more than a more extream way to express ur views. Weither it may be a hatred torwards Christianity, a persons love a homeland (ie. Norweigan mountainside) , War, the list is limitless. Anyone that walks around and claims to be so dark and evil because they listen to Black Metal is a fool. Notice i said listen to and not live by.

MY GOD MAN!!!! how could you not put "a blaze in the northern sky" in the poll? that album made black metal... mayhem, bathory, and venom may have hinted at what black metal was before "a blaze in the northern sky" was released but on "ABITNS" darkthrone defined black metal... but since it was not included in the poll i'd have to go with "de mysteriis dom sathanas" since it was that commie faggot euronymous and the rest of mayhem that influenced fenriz and darkthrone to change from asskicking swedish style death to black metal.. and "de mysteriis" is an amazing album and in that list i think it's the most influential

[LordSkoll]

well i cant say i agree with ur opinion on Euronymous...weither anyone likes it or not he is the godfather of BM and he doesnt get the respect he deserves..but as for ablaze in the northern sky..ur right i should have put that up there but for some reason it sliped my mind...i dunno...

I voted for the Emeror...

Anyways, I still think it's Old Funeral's lp...

[LordSkoll]

:sickface:
sure it could be old funeral..but to be perfectly honest..and u have to agree...not many people know that old funeral ever existed unless that person is really deep into BM

yeah and since not too many people know/knew them they couldn't be too influential... they still kicked ass though

Well, hello there fellow's. Can any of you dark and evil people (:p ) tell me about some good BM bands, I'm ashamed to tell you this but, I'm from Norway, and I don't know anything about BM. I have just started getting into it, but I am far from the goal, so pleas help me.

[LordSkoll]

:sickface: ok BM bands it is...

Immortal
Emperor
Satyricon
Burzum
MayheM
Dark Throne
Dark Funeral
Old Funeral
Mutiilation

that should start u out..hail

[Lord Malphas]

yep Old Funeral kick ass

HellHammer influenced BM a lot also ...

i voted for mayhem "de mysteriis dom sathanas". but i also think, that darkthrone and "a blaze in the northern sky" should be in the list

for me it would be Darkthrone's "A Blaze In The Northern Sky" so I voted for the next closest thing, "Transilvanian Hunger".

I think that Immortal - Pure Holocust, Burzum - Burzum (Aske being only an EP) and Emperor - In The Nightside Eclipse should be up there.

Also if it said good as opposed to influential I'd say Gorgoroth's "Pentagram" is up there with the best of them.
