Got all of Emperor’s stuff, a great band. Not heard the Satyricon album, might check that out. Think I’ll pass on the Dimmu Borgir though, I’m after evil music, not CoF-style kiddy pop! ;)

I find them vvery funny as they are all jazz musicians who started the band as a joke to see if they could do it and now it’s there main job. So it’s not really a joke anymore.

No I haven’t myself, kind of mellowed out a little with my old age! Still listen to Pantera and old school Sepultura though.

Yeah - like I said - I can take it or leave it, a lot of it sounds the same… My brother swears by Mayhem and Darkthrone - but he also likes Cradle of Filth :rolleyes:

I liked the 1st Cradle Of Filth album The Principle Of Evil Made Flesh, but the novelty wore off after about 6 months and I have never listened to anything since, so a good 10 - 11 years ago.

My best mate was really into Burzum, Darkthrone and Mayhem, but now he is into his 50 Cent and stuff like that Ha! At least I was the one who stuck with the good taste.

HeeHee yeah that one. My 2nd team is Exeter City and they are in the same league as Accrington Stanley the milk boys!

Love the way this has turned from Black Metal to Accrington Stanley!

Haha - I think Stanley did really well this season. They looked like they had a shot of promotion at one point.

Maybe next year…

The first CoF album is a classic. I don’t mind the other earlier stuff, but it all got dull pretty quick.

Mayhem’s Wolf Lair Abyss Ep is short but brilliant.

Has anyone heard Arcturus’s La Masquerade Infernal? That’s… interesting… ;)

I don’t like black metal bands except Marduk. But the bands which use black metal sound in their music is cool. Especially DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER, FINNTROLL and IMPALED NAZARANE

Of the past years?

Try: Enthroned - Xes Haereticum, that was released last year.

Most of my favourite Black Metal albums were made in the 90’s though.

no that’s wrong. “zyklon” actually is the eye of a hurricane where all is calm and has exactly nothing to do with zyklon b.

and to say something more topic related: check out the mighty dark tranquillity, their most recent release ‘character’ is some kind of a masterpiece.

But actually they’re not a black metal band, but the founders of melodic death.
