Black Metal: The Expansion Pack
Black Metal: The Expansion Pack
My initial rendition was looking at the USBM scene. Next I opted to dive into where it arguably all began… Norway. My most recent exploration was into Switzerland’s scene. Rather than repeatedly coming up with a new list, I thought I would blow it all up and start anew. This list will serve as my comprehensive findings on a country by country basis. It will allow me to move on more quickly rather than having to keep a small select group of bands on my Apple Music search history. This is not intended to simply start laundry listing every single band from across the globe. Check back to see what is the next to be explored.

I barely know any of the US bands listed here. But the cover artworks almost make me giddy with anticipation! I feel like there's a treasure trove of black metal here! Thanks for listing these ... time to dive in!

Posts: 447 Written by Roman Doez on 16.04.2024 at 15:21 Thanks for the list of recommendations! I will try to make my way through. Abigor was a band I clearly slept on for far too long. Excellent stuff there.

Posts: 447 Written by Guib on 17.04.2024 at 02:34 A few have been added! Thanks for checking the list. Feel free to provide suggestions. The new Liminal Shroud is fairly good. Spectacular production. The bit of clean vocals on it lost me a bit though.

What defines "Nidrosian"?
---- My "blackened synth metal" solo project: maladomini.bandcamp.com. Whenever I write something funny, weird, or pretentious... I learned English by playing Baldur's Gate, okay?
