Favorite First Wave Norwegian Black Metal Act.

i still love the weird free shit but most jazz i listen to now is the basics

I grew up on super-trad pre-bop (dad played piano in a jazz combo but was pretty reactionary [is even more so now] about most bop & everything after), got into free stuff with ESP discs in the mid-nineties, now mainly dig the west coast style

tempted to edit the thread title to "Favorite First Wave Norwegian Black Metal Act. (a jazz thread)"

DO IT

or change the poll options to your favorite jazz icons

i got into trad BM as a result of somebody (scott prob) talking up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98GXT6tvzs8 on some thread about most changed artists over time.

burzum marsalis xpost

or change it to "Favorite First Wave Norwegian Electro-Dribble Act."

just keep believin'

I was just in a fritkot (belgian french fry shop) and a dangerous looking dude entered while I was waiting. His arms and neck were full of skulls and pentagrams and he was wearing this T-shirt, which I presumed was for a band:

On the back, it said "Alchemy 1977" - which seemed pretty old for a satanistic metal band I'd never heard of, so I looked it up and it's this Goth parafernalia thing! LOL! I wish I'd known so I could have laughed and pointed at him instead of coolly nodding like I did now. :-/

super furry animals are one of the best black metal outfits on the scene today IMO

last minute of 'receptacle for the respectable' amirite

I'm leaning towards Immortal: frosty production, mad riffs and fanatical, single-minded attitude. You get to the end of an album, and just want to play it all over again.

Also, this:

That Setherial album is really good btw. Thanks for the tip.

"I have tons of respect for Immortal because they never let the quality control slip. Darkthrone, Mayhem, Burzum, Emperor, Gorgoroth etc all have multiple examples of utter lameness while these rediculous looking clowns tossed out seven albums in a row without a single weak track."

Which is kind of funny cuz aren't the Immortal guys basically Johnny-Come-Lately scene hanger ons? Weren't they just former death metallers who realized that this was the better bandwagon?

Immortal was the first Norwegian BM band to record an album, so not really, no.

(even though it sounded more like Bathory than anything else)

(actually second album, A Blaze was a few months earlier)

(dumb question from a ignoramus:

what distinguishes black metal from death metal? is it just more fancy?)

less fancy

really? cuz this song has some sorta folky/fancy breakdowns...(the youtube you posted)

man i wish i could hang with metal singing post-87/88 thrash :\

Death: growl
Black: shriek

Except when not.

other BM bands that are awesome but not first-wave or norwegian: negura bunget

not really, can be either fancy or distinctly non-fancy.
DM: brutal heavy crunchy downtuned low-pitched grunts, very percussive/riff centered
BM: trebly, raw, high pitched shrieks/rasps, centered on melodic 'flow'/atmosphere

Raw in black metal case is also distinctly lo-fi in a lot of cases.

thx y'all!

ah yeah this sounds more i'mma crazy ass spooky banshee coming to haunt your shit and less i'm a growly monster from the pits of hell

but like i said for some reason it's hard for me to dig metal vocals that aren't i'm a dude from the bay area wearing tight ass jeans and big white high tops vocals

best of non-Norwegian Norwegian Black Metal:

Look both up on wikipedia, you'll see more common elements than differences. A blind test would complicate things even more in some cases.

Immortal "Battles in the North" - vocals sound like higher pitched death metal style.

Or Popeye.

Plague core: black death metal. :-)

okay I'm listening to it right now ... and just heard several Popeye vocalizations ... lol.

siegbran, what's your favorite french 90's bm? i'm looking for buying suggestions. or maybe you hate the french. some people hate the french. cuzza the war or something.

Isn't there a thread on French Black Metal?
