I know there is topic "best of bm", but this is among all subgenres...i like many of them too, but this topic should be really about this "pure" bm originally from Norway, because i am liking this stuff more and more, so i am interested in good songs

mine "top three pics" will be

3. Immortal - Battles In The North
2.-1. Satyricon - Mother North
2.-1. Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger

cant decide who is winner, both songs are fcking awesome...any other recommendations?

Well.. Transilvanian Hunger is trve but the title is not much norwegian.

I suggest Mayhem's classics "Funeral Fog" or "Freezing Moon" and Enslaved "Loke".
My winner is this last one.

"Carpathian Forest" doesnt sound "norwegian" too and still it is "trve enough"

OMG its be hard, I would say all Immortal songs and actualy ewery song from early n mid 990's BM bands was true so I cant pic up any song , its not possible like pic up my fav album from Norvegian BM bands

Emperor - Inno A Satana
Satyricon - Mother North
Tsjuder - Unholy Paragon
Immortal - Pure Holocaust
Taake - Doedskvad 1
Enslaved - Isoders Dronning (Loke's fantastic too, when combined with Frost)

Yap.. the intro Frost does a great preparation to Loke.. I love it

Mayhem - Chainsaw gutsfuck
Burzum - Ea Lord of the Depths
Enslaved - Jotunblod
Darkthrone - A blaze in the northern sky
Immortal - Grim an frostbiten kingdom
Dødheimsgard - Midnattsskogens Sorte Kjerne

These are my personal favorittes,there are a lot of great NBM bands like Mord or Sorgsvart,but the old school bands rule.But if you are looking some great pagan/black metal experience with a true norwegian feeling I recomand Sorgsvart

Man, Sorgsvart has nothing to do with this "old school norwegian bm"...quality viking folk black yes, i know it and like it, but not to be mentioned in this unholy topic

Satyricon - Skyggedans
Mayhem - Symbol Of Bloodswords
1349 - Hellfire

Darkthrone - Slottet I Det Fjerne
Gorgoroth - Sorg
Immortal - As The Eternity Opens
Emperor - The Burning Shadows Of Silence
Burzum - Jesus Tod

If i were to cast a singular vote, it would be Darkthrone's "Transilvanian Hunger".

as for "Mother North", i find that song terribly overrated. it's the black metal equivalent of a 'get the lighter out' arena singalong anthem. it has never moved me in the slightest.

Mother North once helped to forge my black metal heart

I don't fully understand this topic - is it just your favorite traditional-sounding song by a black metal band from Norway? If so, then I'd go with Rawness Obsolete by Darkthrone, Jesus Tod by Burzum, Deconsecrate and Funeral Fog by Mayhem, Chasing Dragons by 1349, or Procreating Satan by Gorgoroth. But, if Bergtatt by Ulver and Aspera Hiems Symfonia (Wintry Grey) by Arcturus count, then various songs on those albums will make it to my list. I'm also sure that a few songs by the original version of Stormblast by Dimmu Borgir are amongst the best, but I can't remember song titles atm.

It is not only about "bm songs from norway", but i want them to be "in style of norway's early 90ties BM"...for example Summoning are some sort of BM too, but definitely not meeting this definition (unless you take their early demos)

1349 - Hellfire (Great song, awesome intro "HELLFIRE!")
Emperor - Empty (This is a true favorite of BM)
Immortal - Damned in Black (Great album and song)
Satyricon - Skygardens (I love the riff for this song, would love to hear this album redone with better production)

i dont know...re-recordings of 90ties BM usually sucks...look at Dimmu Borgir's Stormblast...

Taake - Lukt Til Helvete

Btw, Carpathian Forest owns.

Good point! Though the production on Dark Medievil Time Was particularly bad. Intentionally or not.

Call of the Wintermoon by Immortal

Can anybody help me find black metal bands who write lyrics in Norwegian?

Windir, Burzum, early Ulver, early Dimmu Borgir, Taake, Kampfar, Myrkgrav...

Also Enslaved (they also used old Icelandic), some Darkthrone songs, Manes, Fleurety's Min Tid... album and some old Forgotten Woods songs come to mind.

Also Gorgoroth's Pentagram but they've never printed the lyrics, same goes for Ildjarn and Strid, I think (some songs with titles in Norwegian but the lyrics have not been made public, if I'm not mistaken).

Satyricon also had some songs in Norwegian on the first two albums but musically they strike me as quite mediocre when compared to other big Norwegian bands and their early works.

Marduk-The Sun Has Failed- That verse riff is my favorite black metal riff.
Mayhem-Funeral Fog-Wait, I lied, the riffs in this song between 26 seconds and 1:33 are my favorite black metal riffs
Satyricon-Dark Medival Times-I've spent quite a while looking for a band that conjures a medivaql atmosphere as well as this song, and never have.

EDIT: Also, every song by Ragnarok ranks among the best in black metal.

Early Trveness:

Lost Wisdom - Det Som Engang Var
Where Cold Winds Blow - A Blaze in the Northern Sky
Skald Av Satans Sol - Transylvanian Hunger
Hvis Lyset Tar Oss - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss

Later Trveness:

Alle Gegen Alle - Sardonic Wrath
Man Tenker Sitt - Sardonic Wrath
Rawness Obsolete - Sardonic Wrath

Freezing moon- Mayhem
I am the Black Wizards- Emperor
Under a funeral moon- Darkthrone
Kapitel II- Solen Gaaer Bag Aase Ned- Ulver
War- Burzum

Mayhem - Freezing moon
Immortal - Battles In The North
Satyricon - Mother North

Immortal-there are lot of great songs,really can't choose just one,i just love Abbath.
Emperor-I am the black wizards
Satyricon- Mother North

Immortal - Pure Holocaust
Has everything you can want from a BM song. Even the name represents what was happening in the Norwegian BM scene back then.

Darkthrone - Paragon Belial, It sums up everything that is awesome about that era of Darkthrone and the riff that begins around the 25 second mark is one of my favourite BM riffs of all time.

Satyricon- in the mist by the hills
Emperor- night of graveless souls
Mayehm- pure fucking armageddon
Enslaved- svarte vidder
and burzum blows
