What makes you listen to black metal?
Hey, I'm curious to know what makes you people listen to black metal? how did you started listening to it?
1st black metal song you listened? Is there any band that as finished that you wish them to come back?
What do you think about the future of black metal?
I love all in black metal, the ideas, the atmosphere, the vocals, drums etc... I started listening to black metal when a friend of mine gave me gorgoroth - pentagram to listen. I loved it and i went right over to a store here and bought the album, since then I have bought many Black metal albums from bands like immortal, nokturnal mortum, darkthrone, carpathian forest and many more. the 1st song i listened was "under the pagan megalith" (awsome track from pentagram).
I am really excited about the idea of immortal re-union, they are one of my favorite bands, I love all their albums (but specialy pure holocaust
)
About the future, i think the good bands will always remain but new bands are needed and i don't see excelent new bands.
Here in Portugal we have bands like Lux Ferre, In Thy Flesh, Opus Draconis, Corpus Christii and more, in my opinion they are great but they don't have support to go on and this is happening all over the world.
Please post your opinions and stories
Cheers!

I know it can be and i like a few bands in the melodic side of bm (mostly Astarte's Quod superius...) BUT the guy was talking of emperor like it was a true black band. I just wanted to clarify things so we use the good terms to describe a band. And i still don'T understand why people praise Emperor so much

Written by [user id=14603] on 06.07.2006 at 19:58 Well in early days maybe Emperor was true BM and I also like some melodic blaxck metal bands, moustly unqnown like Bischow Of Hexen and so, because still thay had BM style lyrics Emperor I dunno why people rate them so much, maybe because people are diferent and moust of who say I liek BM knows only Dimmu Borgir, Emmperor, Mayhem and Immortal, maybe thats why BTW what you think about Portugal band Celtic dance and lead singer sid eproject forgot name.

listening to black metal wasn't so easy for me at first, because when I first heared it I wasn't concentrating myself on the music enough, probbably because of the sound which was quite alien for me at that time. but when you start listening to it more carefully you start enjoying all of it - the fast drums, the vocals, the amazing guitar riffs and of course the atmosphere. nowdays my favourite BM band is Immortal (can't wait for the reunion) who are excellent, although they're quite ugly and funny in their outfits. The music is awsome.

Sadly enough, Dimmu borgir were the ones to turn me onto black metal (with their album DCA). The first REAL black metal I heard was Gorgoroths album "Twilight Of the Idols." Which I still enjoy today. Then in early 2004 I heard Burzums Dunkelheit and was fully converted to it. Before all of that I had heard some King Diamond and listened to some death metal.

The only band from this area that I've heared a few songs from them are Ashes You Leave (from Croatia), that's probbably because I've got a bad internet connection (I guess I'm the only one in this part of my country who doesn't have a DSL or cable internet). I'm planing to get myself a cable connection this fall and then I'm going to ask you about some good underground stuff I can download, cause I know you know about maaaaaaaany good bands.

Nobody here really said Emperor were the KINGS of black metal. If people mention them more than other bands you think should be mentioned, Ruines, mabye you could make some suggestions as to what bands you would like to recommend. If Niflhel has a good reason to like a band, would I not have a good reason just because I'm not from norway and don't listen to as many BM bands as you? IT'S FUCKING MUSIC. Who gives a shit. At least make some suggestions before trying to sound like such an Elitist. And stay true to the topic: What makes you listen to BM?

Ah yes, i forgot to say WHY i listen to it. The Atmosphere, and hypnotic darkness. Burzum is one of, if not my favorite black metal band, and the reason I love burzum so much is because of first, the lyrics (Nature and Philosophy), second almost every midpaced black metal band afterwards was influenced by him, and last the emotion with amazing imagery. Its the same with doom metal for me. Emotion is what should drive music anyways, especially in black metal - not fancy dancy guitar solos every ten seconds.

Written by [user id=14603] on 06.07.2006 at 19:58 For the record, Emperor are bloody good, especially their early albums.I cant wait to see them at WOA. I see what you are saying, but there is a reason a lot of people like Emperor - its because they are good, and different than every other black metal band. Sure they arent my favorite but theyre still awesome, and i love to put in the Emperor EP and listen to the sweetness that ensues.

The feeling and the attitude towards the music. The first BM song I heard Open the Gates - Dark Funeral and loved it. Although I dont think much of Dark Funeral these days I still think that they have some great material. But the first album I got was Panzer Division - Marduk which is a killer album I must say. The creators of BM say that it is the feeling that the music gives them and that goes the same for the listener. When you put on a Darkthrone CD in a cold dark room the vibe and atmostphere gets to you, it is a great feeling. I recomend - 1349, Burzum, Bathory, Carpathian Forest, Belphegor, Immortal, Marduk, Mayhem (of course) and Tsjuder - but they are just some of a countless list.

I love the music part of black metal. The drumming and the guitar work are insane. I am not crazy about the vocals and the satanic theme behind it, but I can handle it. The first black metal song I heard was "War" by Burzum. I like it all lot. I like how there are a lot of cool black metal bands especially Immortal, Myahem, and Marduk.

I general I like BM, but it starts to bore me when I listen to it consequently. Still, the first band for me was Dimmu Borgir abour 4 or 5 years back with Mourning Palace (while making out with my ex bf, oh how romatic it was  ). Dimmu are still among my faves in BM along with Moonsorrow and Summoning and early Theatres Des Vampires. I listen to other BM bands but they're just for a taste, none of them really impresses me so much I would be like WHOA BABY what's that   I have a really wide taste in music and BM is just one of the genres I sometimes just crave for. Like when I'm totally pissed off and wanna kill someone  I kid, I kid...

BM isn't my favorite metal genre but I enjoy listening to it. Maybe it's this powerful atmosphere what I like the most from BM. The first band I heard was Borknagar with their "Empiricism". And the first "true" BM was Gorgoroth ("Under the sign of hell" to be more specific).
