This is a list of my 20 favorite BM albums ever. Apparently Mystifier and Moonblood are too kvlt to be on Metal Storm at this time, but both are incredibly fucking awesome. Moonblood played Epic Black Metal and are the undisputed gods of horrible lo-fi production, with one of their rehearsals rumored to have even been recorded in a bathroom. Mystifier is another quite good BM band, who are from South America and play in a similar vein to that of Sarcófago, old Beherit, and old Sepultura, and is some of the most evil material I have listened to in a long time.

1. Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss

2. Bathory - Blood Fire Death

3. Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas

4. Blasphemy - Fallen Angel Of Doom

5. Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger
