that said, love all these bands except immortal and emperor. it's basically a list of my favorite extreme metal bands aside from those two.

You don't love Immortal? What's wrong with you?
"Anthems is just a remake of that with slightly worse vocals, worse lyrics, worse drumming and terribly mixed to boot."
Complaining about the lyrics seems weird when it's virtually impossible to understand like 95% of what their singing about and that's when it's in English and that's if I tried (I don't cuz I don't want to know what they are singing about in most cases.)

Can I just repeat this one word: Bathory.
― StanM, Saturday, 25 July 2009 21:16 (fourteen years ago) link
Can I just point out that they are Swedish?

Or rather he is Swedish. . .

Immortal don't sound good in my earholes.
― dont blaze me dro (roxymuzak), Saturday, 25 July 2009 21:20 (fourteen years ago) link
Yes, I know he was Swedish, I already said that near the start of the thread. :-)Just wanted to point out that "it's basically a list of my favorite extreme metal bands" might have also included Bathory (except not on this thread, obv.)
― StanM, Saturday, 25 July 2009 21:21 (fourteen years ago) link
You like Celtic Frost, Stan?
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 25 July 2009 21:31 (fourteen years ago) link
I haven't really checked out enough of their music to answer that, to be honest. :-/I like To Mega Therion, but that's the only album of theirs I heard, I think.
― StanM, Saturday, 25 July 2009 21:42 (fourteen years ago) link
They're on the "to look up more of" list, just like so many other bands.
― StanM, Saturday, 25 July 2009 21:45 (fourteen years ago) link
Oh yeah, and that Mexican Radio cover! Def. need to check them out urgently, ok.

Also, totally disagree on lyrics. They matter - the whole concept of BM is that it's not "just the music". I always read lyrics before I play the music.
― Siegbran, Saturday, 25 July 2009 23:16 (fourteen years ago) link
I like Celtic Frost's first two albums more than any band on this poll. Except for Enslaved.

I don't do this with any kind of music. Sounds really dull.

Agreed 100%. Good lyrics are a plus, but generally the majority of music that I like has lyrics which I dislike or am indifferent to. Either on an aesthetic or moral level.
― De Mysteriis Dom Passantino (jim), Sunday, 26 July 2009 04:47 (fourteen years ago) link
plus also with the reading the lyrics before playing the music, "welcome to autism".

― squirrelbait, Sunday, 26 July 2009 06:48 (fourteen years ago) link
Ok ok, I give up. I can't read any of them! The one I linked to supposedly says "Mistigo Varggoth Darkestra" by the way.
― StanM, Sunday, 26 July 2009 07:10 (fourteen years ago) link
i'm fairly new to black metal - i've got a lot of the stuff mentioned in this thread but can anyone recommend any recent more experimental bands?

stan im afraid ive forgotten what bands those logos were from lol. Hope you didn't want to know hehe
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Sunday, 26 July 2009 13:10 (fourteen years ago) link
one of them was korgonthurus actually. I took note of that one.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Sunday, 26 July 2009 13:11 (fourteen years ago) link
and the other was lurker of chalice
Yeah, the filenames on two of them help, I noticed after giving up. :-)

im surprised you couldnt read the lurker of chalice one

Now I know I see it as soon as I look at it - not so with the other ones. This is like staring at stereograms, I can't do those either.

not black metal but this one is unreadablehttp://i30.tinypic.com/fzaw45.jpgOnly people who know what it is are those who have seen it on other sites/forums where people go hey can you read this
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Sunday, 26 July 2009 13:23 (fourteen years ago) link
and im going easy on you by showing you where i got it fromhttp://www.ladyomega.com/the-most-unreadable-metal-logos-my-13-picks/
why do these sites say unreadable instead of illegible ?
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Sunday, 26 July 2009 13:25 (fourteen years ago) link
lol check the definition of Metalheadhttp://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=unreadable&page=8#
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Sunday, 26 July 2009 13:27 (fourteen years ago) link
I thought I saw a W, yay! (because unreadable is what non-english speaking people logically deduce "illegible" is in English)
