As The title says it, this is a forum to discuss about your favorite one-man bands. and also a place where you might learn about new bands.

What is a one-man band might you ask?
well... its a band who consist of only 1 member. I think bands like that are great since you can clearly hear one's tought expressed through music without any contradictions. surely there are lots of 1 man bands that are very suckish but still I think one man bands are more suitable for Black Metal.

My Favorite band at the moment is Ad Hominem. With its war like riffs and and black atmosphere.
I am also alot into Kristallnacht and Satanic Warmaster aswell.


EDIT: I didn't really know where to put this thread so I decided to put it here even if most one man band are BM I am speaking of one man bands in general.

I think the words "Besides Burzum and Bathory" should be place in parenthises in the title of this thread.

Yes you´re right, to me Bathory and Burzum are the best one man bands, besides been pioneers their music is great and inspired other musicians in the genre.
I also like Falkenbach and sometimes Xasthur...

Estatic Fear is an 1-man band?? i don't think so... And i've never heard of any female member in EF ( not to count the guest singer in A Sombre Dance album)

If i am not mistaking, Estatic Fear is a one MAN band since A sombre Dance,their second album.

well, maybe you and i have different ways of defining the term '1-man band'. i call a 'band' '1-man band' when there is only a guy doing everything, he writes the music himself, sings the songs and plays ALL instruments. Back to this case of EF, i agree that after their debut there was only 1 member remaining in the band (Matthias) and he wrote all music and lyrics in 'A Sombre Dance' album. However, there were still other musicians playing in the album and as far as i know, Matthias did the guitar and piano parts for ASD while the drums, bass, flute, cello etc were done by different people. The roles of others are indeed very important though they were just guest musicians coming to the project and played the way Matthias wanted them to play. So, that's it, that's why i don't count EF as a '1-man band'

I always have been interested in Diabolical Masquerade. He had a great black metal sound. I'm sorry for the death of this awesome sound (not the man).

Since Vintersorg has one person too many I'd say either Bathory or Falkenbach. Love especially the epic atmospheric sound both bands have.

Certainly Burzum. A boring choice I know, but from the few one man bands I listen too he's the best without doubt. The evil atmosphere and insane howls does it all for me!

At the moment it has to be Dark Forest from Canada. The guy has immense skill. Tricked me into thinking it was a whole band for a few listens, top notch pagan/black metal.
