Hey, I'm curious to know what makes you people listen to black metal? how did you started listening to it?
1st black metal song you listened? Is there any band that as finished that you wish them to come back?
What do you think about the future of black metal?

I love all in black metal, the ideas, the atmosphere, the vocals, drums etc... I started listening to black metal when a friend of mine gave me gorgoroth - pentagram to listen. I loved it and i went right over to a store here and bought the album, since then I have bought many Black metal albums from bands like immortal, nokturnal mortum, darkthrone, carpathian forest and many more. the 1st song i listened was "under the pagan megalith" (awsome track from pentagram).
I am really excited about the idea of immortal re-union, they are one of my favorite bands, I love all their albums (but specialy pure holocaust )
About the future, i think the good bands will always remain but new bands are needed and i don't see excelent new bands.
Here in Portugal we have bands like Lux Ferre, In Thy Flesh, Opus Draconis, Corpus Christii and more, in my opinion they are great but they don't have support to go on and this is happening all over the world.

Please post your opinions and stories



Cheers!

Don't take it too serious.
I know people do, lol.
But belive me. If the music, if the atmosphere would be the biggest reason, more people would listen to more other bands, you know? The Euro-Murder-Story is in my opinion 70% of why people listen to Burzum. End of Story

Well, I assure you I listened to him for his music and atmosphera (which includes lyrics and message).

Black Metal for me is just that, an atmosphera that you can't find in any other music, I refer obviously to the so-called True Norvegian black Metal bands, Black Metal nowadays is just not the same.

Burzum Rules.

There are two black metal bands on earth I do like.

VON, reason why I like it: It's fast, it's poor & brutal.

Drudkh, reason why I like it: All I say is Autumn Aurora...

I get your point mate, and I do agree that Burzum would ofc never be as famous as it got without the killing of Euronymous. That however mean nothing to me. I like the music of Burzum, especially Hvis Lyset Tar oss, wich is a rather unique album. I do realise that there is a fucking scary amount of Burzum clones nowadays, some really really good. But imo none of them is "better" than Burzum, this does ofc. all comes down to personal taste, and my taste obviously prefer Burzum's music over *insert random clone*.

With that said I can garantee you that I only listen to Burzum because I love the music, the lyrics and the atmosphere.

On a sidenote I would like to add that Autumn Aurora is a fucking masterpiece, and I agree to 100 %.

bad reason

Oh well, why I listen to black metal..because I enjoy it? A lot of the black metal bands sound mediocre to me(or it is just because I have listened too much to them haha), but there are a few bands that I really like. Not because of some deeper meaning or anything, I just enjoy them. I can give deeper explanations for seperate bands, but for black metal in general. I just enjoy that kind of music.

My music taste did involve in this genre. I used to be able to bear more bands than I do now. Maybe because black metal is a genre that is only fun for a few years. After that you are kinda forced to try other genres, since black metal just become boring. Trying the same thing over and over again does get annoying after a while.

not really. The album is atmospheric, but not in an impressive way. It is too repetitive, the songs are too similar. The album is fun for a month or so, but after that I got really bored with it. Drudkh aren't that great as so many people claim they are. Maybe it is just not my type of black metal.

@Blackgir. That's just the way I think, about any other black metal release I heard so far.
Though I must admit, I once heard a Demotape by Misanthropy, and it was, impressive.

Sounds fair enough, everyone has their personal opinion. Cheers.

doesn't really make sense, imo.

Drudkh and Burzum sound nothing alike.

Tommy tee could you expand this opinion of yours? because I fail to see how does drudkh want to sound like burzum. shure, both bands play atmospheric bm but does that mean that every band that plays this style of bm is a burzum wanabe now?

Nattens Madrigal was the first Black Metal album that I heard and Ulver was the first Black Metal band. Later, I also felt in love in sounds of Darkthrone, Burzum, Immortal and many more...
I love Black Metal, its magic, passion, feelings... I can not describe it exactly by using words... I can only say that For me, I can called something art (in this forum - Black Metal), if that was born in dark, misty, melancholic place by using REAL humans pasions and desires... not nessesary evil ones... But evil, dark aspects of human live, for me are in the best way to describes our nature! Why? Because light borns in the DARK!

I listen to black metal because of the almost chilling atmosphere of some of the songs. Of course, I listen to well I'm falling asleep, and I can sure say, it does put you in a trance-like state.

Every so often you get a headbangable riff and some BM drummers have good styles, but mostly I listen for the atmosphere.

The lyrics are another reason why I listen to BM. Black Metal lyrics actually have meaning, which is something that some bands in other genres lack.

Overall, I'd have to say that Black Metal is my second favorite genre, next to death metal.
