* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The uncanny nature of the music makes it absolutely amazing. The shrieking vocal style is guaranteed to send shivers down your spine, and the lo-fi production makes it TwentyPercentMoreAwesome. Some good black metal albums include [[https://youtu.be/WIQrGAAPv84 Transilvanian Hunger by Darkthrone]], [[https://youtu.be/Ee2K0y0B3NA Opus Nocturne by Marduk]], [[https://youtu.be/RSfd3UvfO_4 Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism by Immortal]], [[https://youtu.be/2axi_m0BD-oand In the Nightside Eclipse by Emperor]], [[https://youtu.be/PY9BO5VzsT4 Non Serviam by Rotting Christ]], [[https://youtu.be/qcS0CVJ1KPg Di Mysteriis Dom Sathanas by Mayhem]], and [[https://youtu.be/coJ_O3YYcNY Vikingligr Veldi by Enslaved]]
** Let's not forget the first wave of Black metal. Bands such as Music/{{Bathory}}, Music/{{Celtic Frost}} and Sarcófago were a major influence on the second wave of Black metal. [[https://youtu.be/6sf53EYdAyg Under the Sign of the Black Mark]] is an absolute classic, and (despite being an EP) [[https://youtu.be/KkWogF3ZpKA Morbid Tales]] is first wave Black metal at its peak.
** There is also lots of amazing black metal from Sweden. Here you got incredibly underrated bands such as Music/{{Dissection}}, Sacramentum, Vinterland, Dark Funeral and especially Music/{{Watain}}. [[https://youtu.be/aAIzUXr9WDY These]] [[https://youtu.be/UcdC4Pi-sRg four]] [[https://youtu.be/IKiqcG_npuI albums]] [[https://youtu.be/bCp6N7xjH-A alone]] are enough to give you chills.
** 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/DLacTbutMqg Scarlet Evil Witching Black]] is a fine example.
** Odium, a band that only dropped one album that just happened to kick lots of ass. Sad Realm of the Stars is an underrated cosmic black metal masterpiece. [[https://youtu.be/t2NT_0LQzbI Give it a listen]].
** Stormlord has their cheesy but amazing debut album [[https://youtu.be/zzeBJp1mR-Y Supreme Art of War]]. It's basically the manliness of PowerMetal mixed with the evilness of regular BlackMetal. The choruses on this album are also kickass! Especially on "Age of the Dragon" (BROTHERS OF FIIIIIIGHT! THE TIME HAS COME AT LAAAAAST! RAISE OUR SWORDS WITH PRIDE AND MIGHT, NAKED. STEEL WIL GLEAM TONIGHT! IN THE BATTLE WE SHALL WIN, FOR THIS GLORIOUS '''LAAAAAAAND'''!)
** 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!
** Satyricon's first three albums are untouchable. But [[https://youtu.be/NXL8U3F-pN4 Dark Medieval Times]] is on another level of awesome! It's literally one of the greatest black metal albums of all time. The experimentation of Folk and the Atmosphere is just perfect. If anything, it's old school Norwegian Black Metal done to absolute perfection.
** Anything by Old Man's Child. But particularly the albums [[https://youtu.be/DUCSbZFMgx4 Born of the Flickering]] (Which is an under-appreciated gem) and [[https://youtu.be/S-BV6FGrmy4 The Pagan Prosperity]].
** Windir. He was a musical and lyrical genius who tragically died in a snowstorm. Most of their albums consist of nothing but SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic, but one particular standout is the album [[https://youtu.be/k6GWdwkXqhw Arntor]].
** Khors is arguably one of the best black metal bands to ever come out of the Ukraine. The atmosphere on their albums is a mixture of [[CreepyAwesome creepy and awesome]]. It's like Burzum, but with 4 members instead of 1. [[https://youtu.be/2ad93mTm45Y The Flames of Eternity's Decline just happens to be their best]].
** [[https://youtu.be/PwL4LzPoa_4 Svartalheim by Ancient]] may be cookie cutter black metal. But that doesn't mean it doesn't kick ass! It has this freezing cold production that's just hard to hate.
** 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/m-1XPqysvkc The aforementioned Opus Nocturne]], [[https://youtu.be/ZskXIVgIkEE Panzer Division]] and [[https://youtu.be/8tK2I8Ghg5Y Those of the Unlight]].
** Japan can also do black metal: Sigh. They play Norwegian-style black metal with distinctly Japanese twist such as [[https://youtu.be/8vYIy9n62Pk Shoujahitsumetsu]].
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Some black metal bands tend to have genuinely nice band members. Abbath, the lead singer of Music/{{Immortal}}, is a very friendly dude. Some could consider him to be the Ozzy Osbourne of black metal.
** The main members of Music/{{Enslaved}} are also very chill individuals.

* HilariousInHindsight: If you're into BlackComedy, the amusing thing is the Pagans and the Satanists hate each other and the misanthropes hate everyone. Then there are Christians there with bands like Horde, who hates Satanists and misanthropes and at times Pagans. Neo-Nazi bands hate Christians and misanthropes and there are Red And Anarchist bands who hate Neo-Nazis, while Swedish and Norwegian black metal fans hate each other.
