Maybe there is a million of records with ugly covers outside, but this is my choice
Great records bad covers and bad records bad covers, the art work it’s sometimes subjective…
Never judge a book by its cover

To me, an EP is a release of original music under 30m in length.

Score is an average of each EP's song ratings, full list located here (only new original songs included).

If you discovered any new EPs or like the same sort of metal, be sure to give this list a thumbs-up and leave a comment so more people can find these amazing bands!

This list is a guide to the first wave of Black Metal.
Releases here are considered to be a part of the first wave
or they stylistically are similar to the first wave bands.
Some releases are of thrash/death bands but please note that
at the time first wave wasn't really homogeneous style and that
those bands are included cause they were influence to the bands
that will later form Second wave.
Have in mind that First wave ceased to exist somewhere around 1987-1989.
Releases are ordered by release year.
Have fun!

There really is nobody else like King Diamond in the metal world, and in my observation there also isn't much of a grey area regarding enjoyment of his work. You either love him or you can't stand his voice. Myself, while I understand the criticism, I'm very firmly in that first camp, and aside from Maiden there really isn't any other individual or band that has released as many of my favorite records.

1.King Diamond - Abigail

2.Mercyful Fate - Don't Break The Oath

3.King Diamond - Conspiracy

4.Mercyful Fate - Melissa

5.King Diamond - Them
