Inquisition is great!

I loved that you mentioned Sarcófago in the your video. I’m from the city of Belo Horizonte (Brazil) the same city where the Sarcófago began. Blasphemy did a show here recently; made a point of taking a photo in the same tomb used on the cover of INRI. Once I took the people of Beton (Slovenia) in the same place; they loved to visit the ‘Bonfim’ cemetery. I say it’s a lot cooler than the “Black Metal Wall” in Norway.

I loved your list! This is my list of records that introduced me to Black Metal:

1987 – Sarcófago – INRI
1987 – Bathory – Under The Sign Of The Black Mark
1990 – Blasphemy – Fallen Angel Of Doom
1992 – Darkthrone – A Blaze In The Northern Sky
1992 – Mystifier – Wicca
1993 – Impurity – The Lamb’s Fury
1993 – Beherit – Drawing Down The Moon
1993 – Immortal – Pure Holocaust
1994 – Mayhem – De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas
1995 – Amen Corner – Jachol ve Tehilá
1996 – Satyricon – Nemesis Divina
1996 – In Memorian – Insantification
1996 – Gorgoroth – Antichrist
1998 – Urgehal – Massive Terrestrial Strike
1999 – Marduk – Panzer Division Marduk
2000 – Impaled Nazarene – Nihil
2003 – Hecate – Odes ao Oculto
2004 – Miasthenia – Batalha Ritual

I dig your Taste. 🙂 its almost the same as mine.
Waaay before i owned all COF Albums i first got into BM in general in 2008 with Cradle’s Damnation and a Day Album. I was like: “wow, how evil is that?”
I said to myself…are there more bands like them?

Boy was i in for a wild ride…
I descented pretty fast into the Abyss over the Years:

•1349
•Darkthrone
•Tsjuder
•Watain
•Gorgoroth
•Endstille
•Immortal
•Urgehal
•Mayhem
•Satyricon
•Emperor

and most recently i got into

•Marduk

I grew up in the 80s and I remember seeing Venom albums and they scared the crap out of me. Keep in mind this was the 80s. I miss going to the record stores and browsing the metal and import sections. Keep up with the videos man.

This is a great list been into black metal since the early days because im old! You list some of my faves, but turned me onto leviathan! Check out drowning the light they are from australia they have a HUGE discography but start with oceans of eternity. Also early ulver the first three albums, dawn from sweden with slaughtersun which will take your head off and of course gorgoroth!

Hell of a list there man! Some fantastic records!

I assume that you dont know the band “Windir” otherwise it would have been on the list 😉

U needed 20 full albums to just get into BM?

I think this is just your fav albums..not what gets you into BM in general.

Good luck.

i cringed at how you pronounced varg vikernes but cool vid bro

pure awesomeness

Thanks for sharing. Good albums.

Great list. The only one I would have included was Meryful Fate/King Diamond. Yes I know King didn’t have that black metal sound but like Venom, the imagery and lyrical content is very influential to the sub genre and I don’t care what anyone says I love King’s voice.

5:05 for dark incantations being uttered in the background

No Emperor? That’s unreal. You severely underrate Mayhem .
It’s cool to be into Cradle of Filth but they aren’t black metal.

Can you understand anything of the lyrics from shining? A lot of americans seems to really dislike subtitles, so I Would imagine that lyrics with a foreign language must be only for the die hard fans

Dissection was more blackened Death Metal;)

i lol’ed when you said you remembered burzum ‘oh that fuckin idiot’. Mar-dook though and not into the best black metal album of all time(de mysteriis dom sathanas)? Lose points my friend.

Storm of the Light’s Bane has an amazing flow to it, where each song has its own identity, yet adds to the whole album rather than sounding redundant. I too listen to it far more than Somberlain.

where’s Metallica BLACK album??!!

fuck everybody cradle of filth is the best

Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk by Emperor is what got me into black metal.
