The Most Interesting Black Metal You'll Ever Hear...?

Props to the guy above me for mentioning Vladimir Cochet, the brains behind Mirrorthrone, Weeping Birth and Unholy Matrimony, I almost admire him as much as I admire Neige and Blakkheim.

Naakhum. I can't say I've heard of these guys before. The first track seems somewhat atypical, considering how slow the tempo was. The second track..wait is this a joke? I should've known from when you said "kvlt".

Nonetheless I'll answer the BQs.

1. Need I mention Mayhem/Burzum? I'm trying to refrain from stating the obvious but I can't think of anything that can top: Dead's suicide, the band taking a picture of the scene and making it an album artwork to Dawn of the Black Hearts, Vikernes trying to out-do a stabbing that occurred a while back, claiming that the 20-something stabs were just in self-defence and later, his 21 year jail sentence. Other than the typical arson and animal-head-on-stake in concerts, it doesn't get any crazier that this. I can think of a couple of NSBM as well too (namely Absurd and the killing of that 15 year old) but Varg was the reason this "sub-genre" exists so..

2. Absu comes to mind, Windir, Peste Noire, OMC.

I knew i replaced into in for something thrilling once I observed it replaced right into a mix of black steel and shoegaze and it truthfully replaced into thrilling. i do no longer understand how lots i might call them black steel however. Thats no longer an insult on the band, I do basically no longer see a great black steel impact contained in the sound of the band. This band is unquestionably great and nicely worth sorting out extra of however. wonderful locate!

MA: a little too slow for me. good atmosphere but just not my taste.

BA: Mayhem (for obvious reasons) or Weeping Birth for their just overall extreme style (with some really good like atmospheric and melodic parts)

Weeping Birth (one man band played every instrument and programmed the drums also produced in his bedroom):

couldnt find the last one i wanted to link but its called The Mysteries That Bind The Flesh

Ah I love this band. I discovered them a few months ago.

BQ: Summoning, not for being ridiculous crazy, but for incorporating such beautiful elements to their music yet still having that black metal feel.

BQ2: Either Ihsahn or Summoning.

MA: Eh, they're both alright. Maybe they'll grow on me over time, but I'm not crazy about them at the moment. Although, I did enjoy the second link slightly more than the first one.

BA1: Eh, I dunno...Mirrorthrone?

BA2: Ne Obliviscaris

I like opeth a lot but not sure if they are black metal. also gojira and devildriver!
