Is Children Of Bodom black metal or technical speed? I say technical speed. I am one of those picky people who break down thrash/speed/technical speed not that it really matters.

The best black metal bands are:
Dimmu Borgir
Cradle Of Filth(Is it BM?)
Marduk
Mayhem
Old Man's Child

I have been to a show with Belphegor.. that was not good at all, but they might be good at CD.

For Black Metal....I think alot of it is crap...but I like Emperor and Old Man's Child.

Definately not black metal. I think the ONLY reason people ever make this mistake is because of alexi's vocals, other than that i dont think any other part of the sound is even close to black metal. I am not so sure on saying what they are though, i just know they arnt black.

I like a lot of black metal, but some of it sucks. In order to grab my attention it either has to be melodic, or have great keyboards. Being both is a great mix... for me.

apart from the obvious (dark throne, mayhem etc) i prefer australian black metal it is less about the image and more about the music than the traditional norwegian bands. astriaal, atomizer, sadistik exekution, and destroyer 666 are a good way to go. other, non-australian bands worth listening to are absu, marduk, dissection, dawn. 2 bands definitely not to go with are cradle of filth and burzum. deinonychus is debatable, the musics shit but the vocals are insane.
btw, opeth is the greatest and most talented fucking band EVER you dumbcunt (althouh they are only a tiny bit black)

dude.. you definitely need to check out Ceremonial Castings (US symphonic black)

www.ceremonialcastings.tk check their mp3 page They are fucking great

You totally forgot the cult australian BLACK metal band NAZXUL. Very great Beherit style stuff.

In my opinion BURZUM is definetly not shit music and it cannot be compared to CRADLE OF FILTH shit. Vocals are great.

Mayhem,
Dissection,
Emperor,
Aeternus.
Theres also a local BM band around here called Frozen, which is decent, but they're only starting out. I could picture them getting much better later on.

Opeth Is a great band, but they aren't BM. They only have tiny traces of MB in their early album Orchid, and even then its was hard to find or decipher, because it was mostly the imagery. They are more of a great Death/Melodic progression experimental metal. But Mikael Akerfeldt has an awesome clean voice, especially for the way he growls, its hard to keep your voice from bleeding unless you know how to do it the right way.

What wrong is with EMPEROR? If you're truely into black metal, you should know that Emperor's In the Nightside Eclipse was one of the most important black metal releases ever. Why should we stop listening it if it's very good?

Zyklon-B Blood Must Be Shed
It's also a awsome CD unless it's only 3Trks with a complete duration ov 10 minutes

I said listing... not listening...... it's no good if everyone keeps listing the same bands is it? and too be honest, Emperor isn't all that good at all, they have some great songs, but only some.

depends on the specific styles f black and death, but overall, i have noticed a the biggest difference is vox, death being more growly, and black being more raspy/shreiky, also the music in the black i have listened to, which is more symphonic black, is more melodic than most death.
