The anti offical black metal thread

I've never heard the original Storrablast. I've got the re-release, and I like it. Death Cult is my favorite album from those guys, though.
 
i'm not a giant fan of black metal, but i will listen on occasion. i actually like the vocals...the black metal growl is a form of singing all its own and it truly is one of those things where if someone doesn't like it, they just don't understand it. or they really don't like loud aggressive music.

i always keep mayhem's de mysteris dom sathanis on my ipod just so when people ask about black metal, i'll stick that on and explain the ol' mayhem story to them. gets people very intrigued.
 
I really hated Bathory growing up but I have recently really gotten into them, although I disliked Hammerheart a lot. Blood, Fire and Death is where it's at for me.
 
Well, I always said I hate death metal but... two months ago I found music of Opeth and I started to love them :)
Now I think I just didn't understand why growl, what?! Now I can listen to it although it's now too new for me. I am not sure if I will listen to more than Opeth or not.
Or.... does somebody know some melodic death / black metal band also with some normal singing? Something like Opeth?
 
I personally hate Black Metal and Death Metal. Growling and gargling your way through songs is lame. May as well front the band with a waste disposal.
 
I quite like black metal! Furia, Nargaroth, Cor Scorpii, Irrwisch, Mgła, Kult of Azazel, Tsjuder (now Krypt), Gorgoroth (preferably with Pest on vocals), Azaghal, M
 
as a general rule, it is not black metal unless you have the growl...in fact i know people who get upset if you can understand the lyrics. maybe that is not the norm...it is just what i have seen in a few cases. opeth is not exactly black metal, either...he is more just progressive metal who likes to use all ranges of metal. so...opeth is fairly out there with originality, unfortunately.
 
Yeah. I don't mind some melodic death metal, but all the death metal with Cookie Monster vocals isn't for me. Black Metal isn't even good instrumentally.
 
Metal phallus! SeeRAB of death!
That is not won else cannot be lost!
Precious burden! SeeRAB of death!
Sown to earth brings the holocaust!
Prepare to DIEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
