Who is the ultimate black metal band?

For your information most modern black metal banRAB do have a extreme amount of melody.
It's kind of half of what black metal is.
Whether it's Guitar solos,KeyboarRAB, flutes,String arrangements or a good ole symphony in the mix.
(Even Mayhem have melodies!!!)lol :band:
 
Burzum are melodic as!!
What the hell are you talking about Black metal's all about melody, brutality and normaly dark, or gothic themes.
Even Venom had that stuff. :yikes:
 
You are not listening to Black Metal than if it had melody.

Venom's album "Black Metal" contained nothing that could be considered melody.

Dimmu Borigr doesn't play inverted power chorRAB therefore = not Black Metal.

face it.
 
Yeah, I thought Dimmu Borgir were death metal too.
So many sub-genres though it gets me confused.
Rise Against, by "inverted" power chorRAB do you mean the minor scale chorRAB, not the majors?
 
I TAKE IT YOU CANT PLAY ANYTHING BY DIMMU BORGIR?!?!?
DIMMU USE HEAPS OF CHORRAB DUDE.
YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT YA TALKING ABOUT DO YOU.lol
THEY OF COURSE USE INVERTED POWER CHORRAB
AS MOST BLACK METAL BANRAB DO.
VENOM ARE ONE OF MANY.
ALSO IF VENOM WERE MODERN DAY BAND THEY WOULDN'T BE CALLED BLACK METAL. LOL
SO THERE YOU GO MATE.
 
ChorRAB aren't whats an issue. Do you play guitar? and I haven't memorized any Dimmu Borgir songs but the ones i bothered to look up didn't contain any. I'm not great at guitar (don't get me wrong they aren't bad musicians) so I doubt I could play just by looking.

Snickers by inverted i mean

hard to explain online but that should.

and wyldchild. i'm confused by your last 2 lines...
 
i can see where you're coming with Opeth, in some of their earlier albums they have a black-ish tinge too them... but not really with Deicide at all...





they have added more melodic (almost synonymous with radio-friendly in metal) elements, with recent albums, to their music. in essence what you have is a watered-down form black metal. black metal was never intended to be listener friendly, really. kinda like what happened to punk/hardcore.

...do you know what an inverted power chord is?
