Their music also has a relentless, thrashy nature to it. [[https://youtu.be/owj4MC6u6EU Into the Infernal Regions of the Ancient Cult]] is generally considered their best album.

Album titles go in italics, there are numerous capitalisation and spelling errors on this page, a single second-level bullet is never correct, "magnum opus" is singular and so three albums cannot be "a magnum opus", and a list of album titles with no further explanation is not context.


* Let's start off with an absolute CLASSIC! {{Music/Mayhem}}. [[https://youtu.be/7eACwpD07IA Di Msyteriis Dom Sathanas]] is considered to be the first true black metal album, as it invented what would eventually become Black Metal's signature sound. The atmosphere is just so eerie and badass! And those vocals should send shivers down anyone's spine. Freezing Moon is a black metal anthem for a reason.
* No black metal list would be complete without a mention of {{Music/Darkthrone}}. [[https://youtu.be/WIQrGAAPv84 Transilvanian Hunger]]'s production may be awful, but it left a blueprint on Black Metal. It also gives off a cold, wintery vibe that just makes it so much better. True Norwegian Black Metal at its finest.
** A few years back,[[https://youtu.be/p4-rEj3C1NI Their second album, A Blaze in the Northern Sky]] was put on the National Library of Norway's permanent exhibition due to its significance to Norwegian culture and as a starting point for Norwegian black metal. The album had amazing lo-fi production that would soon be a signature characteristic of Black Metal.
* {{Music/Enslaved}}. Their first 2 albums contain some of the greatest progressive black metal ever made. [[https://youtu.be/coJ_O3YYcNY Viklingligr Veldi]] has lyrics about Norse Mythology and Vikings, much different to the usual Satanic lyrics. They were also a pretty big influence on Viking metal, so we gotta give them credit for that.
* Anything by {{Music/Immortal}}, but [[https://youtu.be/t0NRFMgFxi0 Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism]], [[https://youtu.be/mD_q2rV6b1M Pure Holocaust]], [[https://youtu.be/Qjg0qQIA09w At the Heat of Winter]] are generally considered their best albums.
* Satyricon's first three albums are their magnum opus. [[https://youtu.be/SikZJRmON-k Dark Medieval Times]] adds a bit of evilness into the genre, and has Folk elements to add to the sinister atmosphere. [[https://youtu.be/-7aaJJb6ep8 The Shadowthrone]] is just an amazing listen from start to finish, but the best of the best has to be [[https://youtu.be/HmXX1whZt64 Nemesis Divina]].
* One word: Marduk. To a lot of people, they are the heaviest black metal band. And it's not hard to see why. They pound your ass into oblivion with some of the tastiest, most evil black metal ever made. Their 90s discography is full of flawless albums, but their best albums are [[https://youtu.be/kee2g4Y4TEs Heaven Shall Burn...When We Are Gathered]], [[https://youtu.be/BzVxjFGrAYo Opus Nocturne]], [[https://youtu.be/1tQlk4Asess Panzer Division]] and [[https://youtu.be/Tkpjknk1xVs Those of the Unlight]].
* Greece is home to some of the most creative black metal music. Hellenic black metal (as its often called) contains elements of Traditional Heavy Metal and Death Metal. It's also extremely melodic, so its perfect if you want to get into the genre. [[https://youtu.be/KyCGbpqsso4 Scarlet Evil Witching Black]] is a fine example.
* {{Music/Emperor}} is one of the biggest names in Black Metal, despite having only released 4 albums. All of them are masterpiece in the genre of Symphonic Black Metal [[https://youtu.be/2axi_m0BD-o In The Nightside Eclipse]] is a must-have in any Black Metal fan's collection.
* Dimmu Borgir is a band you either love or hate. Their attempt to make Black Metal a mainstream genre gained them some intense hatred over the years, but even the hater can't rip an album like [[https://youtu.be/EQxBQKXbo4E Enthrone Darkness Triumphant]] or [[https://youtu.be/x3fiGkc6Aeo Stormblåst]].
* Japan can also do black metal: Sigh. They play Norwegian-style black metal with distinctly Japanese twist such as [[https://youtu.be/8vYIy9n62Pk Shoujahitsumetsu]]
* Windir. He was a musical and lyrical genius who tragically died in a snowstorm. Most of their albums consist of nothing but Awesome Music, but one particular standout is the album [[https://youtu.be/k6GWdwkXqhw Arntor]].
* Sargeist has [[https://youtu.be/VbmioJteiAU Satanic Black Devotion]], which is already an amazing album but then the song "Black Fucking Murder" comes on with its epic chorus. And the album goes from amazing to absolutely superb!

In many ways, Black Metal is the prime definition of CreepyAwesome. The uncanny atmosphere, the blood-curdling shrieks, and their satanic lyrics may not be a good mixture for some people, but for metal listeners it makes up for a kickass listening experience!
----
* Let's start off with an absolute CLASSIC! {{Music/Mayhem}}. [[https://youtu.be/7eACwpD07IA Di Msyteriis Dom Sathanas]] is considered to be the first true black metal album, as it invented what would eventually become Black Metal's signature sound. The atmosphere is just so eerie and badass! And those vocals should send shivers down anyone's spine. Freezing Moon is a black metal anthem for a reason.
* No black metal list would be complete without a mention of {{Music/Darkthrone}}. [[https://youtu.be/WIQrGAAPv84 Transilvanian Hunger]]'s production may be awful, but it left a blueprint on Black Metal. It also gives off a cold, wintery vibe that just makes it so much better. True Norwegian Black Metal at its finest.
** A few years back,[[https://youtu.be/p4-rEj3C1NI Their second album, A Blaze in the Northern Sky]] was put on the National Library of Norway's permanent exhibition due to its significance to Norwegian culture and as a starting point for Norwegian black metal. The album had amazing lo-fi production that would soon be a signature characteristic of Black Metal.
* {{Music/Enslaved}}. Their first 2 albums contain some of the greatest progressive black metal ever made. [[https://youtu.be/coJ_O3YYcNY Viklingligr Veldi]] has lyrics about Norse Mythology and Vikings, much different to the usual Satanic lyrics. They were also a pretty big influence on Viking metal, so we gotta give them credit for that.
* Anything by {{Music/Immortal}}, but [[https://youtu.be/t0NRFMgFxi0 Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism]], [[https://youtu.be/mD_q2rV6b1M Pure Holocaust]], [[https://youtu.be/Qjg0qQIA09w At the Heat of Winter]] are generally considered their best albums.
* Satyricon's first three albums are their magnum opus. [[https://youtu.be/SikZJRmON-k Dark Medieval Times]] adds a bit of evilness into the genre, and has Folk elements to add to the sinister atmosphere. [[https://youtu.be/-7aaJJb6ep8 The Shadowthrone]] is just an amazing listen from start to finish, but the best of the best has to be [[https://youtu.be/HmXX1whZt64 Nemesis Divina]].
