[manosrock123]

[masterkilling565]

[blackandrej]

EMPEROR

[MrASE666]

nice video mate if only you put taake or ulver or rotting christ(HAIL GREECE)

[MademoiselleMab]

ok my turn to claim an absent band. satyricon's debuts?

[DraculleMihawk]

he forgot allot of Dark Fortress, Sodom, Venom, Dark Forest, Nortt, Xasthur, Atritas ... oh well

[ibereslaostia]

@DraculleMihawk Sodom is tharsh metal no blavk metal

[DraculleMihawk]

@ibereslaostia it is, but they're black metal too, First wave of black metal after Venom, go search

[Deadlycovers]

@DraculleMihawk Big difference between black metal and DSBM! Just want to mention that ;)

[matijajan]

Sarcofago, Blasphemy, Venom, Bathory, Mayhem, Absu, Celtic Frost, Hellhammer, Destroyer 666, Holocausto, Necroholocaust. Impaled Nazarene and Tormentor are aslo good.

[MrASE666]

only one problem: why burzum after bathory ? but the wholee video is PERFECT nice job mate

[lunarstrain235]

what about dissection?

[lxkasblackmetal]

mayhem debe estar en el top 3 por ser pionera,definidora de genero,miembro del inner circle noruego y su gran calidad

[lxkasblackmetal]

falta en los albums de gorgoroth el Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam

[alexbadila1]

Thanks for the list, man. I'll check out Summoning, Graveland, Mayhem, Darkthrone, and Burzum. Also, WHERE THE FUCK IS CELTIC FROST??!! THEY ROCK!!! :P

[metalbronie96]

wheres WOP?

[WikiHeba96]

Burzum !!

I love it not ONLY because of his music, but i just love him... i love Varg Vikernes \m/ !

[yeoldecouchpotato]

good selection. i was kind of disappointed to not see Sons of Northern Darkness up there on the Immortal list, but i guess you were going for their older sound. Burzum, Mayhem, Darkthrone, and Bathory, essentially the big four of black metal lol.

[WikiHeba96]

@yeoldecouchpotato i totally agree with you, but what do you think about Gorgoroth ? isnt it the biggest black metal band of all times ?

[yeoldecouchpotato]

@WikiHeba96 oh yea definitely gorgoroth is big and great, but these guys just seem to embody that early black metal sound a lot more.

[anyrock22]

@natnat5577 "He's" awesome not "they" burzum is a one man band

[TheMorbidAsshole]

Enslaved

Mayhem

Bathory



[maxio94]

3. Darkthrone

2. Burzum

1. Bathory ! \m/

[terninals]

thumbs up if u only clicked it because it said BATHORY!

[Adicone16040]

6 is the best! number of satan! 

[venom769]

Good list, although I'd remove Graveland and add Satyricon.

[PredLiveStream]

No mayhem? Good list though.

[6Vinteren6Rike6]

@PredLiveStream 3:43

[dasspase]

Poser

[SeaOfTrees78]

I can only get into two Burzum albums; Filosofem and Belus.

I just really can't stand his early vocal work.

[MrPeteripo]

the video is called top 10 BLACK metal bands...and the first band? viking metal ^^

[ADeadlierSnake]

@MrPeteripo Enslaved is black/viking. How about you do some research instead of hanging on every word someone on the internet says

[Swanton619OfDX]

@MrPeteripo Viking Metal is a Black Metal subgenre =P

[ironjustice13]

@cockvaginaballstits

It is evident from your foolish comment and ridiculous name that you have the maturity of a 3 year old and the combined intelligence of a decapitated newt so instead of wasting everyone's time by trolling on decent music, piss off.

[cockvaginaballstits]

all these bands are dick sucking fags and black metal is shit music for suicidal losers

[aarongtr180]

@cockvaginaballstits Obvious troll.

[BlackDagor28]

@cockvaginaballstits you don't know anything about music...¬¬ you are the typical man that listen screamo shits and you cry every day of your fucking life... (:

[cockvaginaballstits]

@BlackDagor28 haha typical butthurt fag :) black metal and screamo are shit music :D

[abbath1586]

Dissection

[gunkert1]

FUCKING MAYHEM!!!!!!

[DimaBorzykh]

Immortal rules!

[awinterb]

Dissection?

[hades2012hhh]

Immortal

[FabuMusic]

Nice selection

[DeathrasheR1987]

In my opinion ''Live in Leipzig'' is an album of importance of Mayhem, you forgot it in your list....

[gojiramonamarth]

how can bathory not be #1?

[DraculleMihawk]

@gojiramonamarth Couse its Venom or Dark Fortress, or even Sodom

[jeromeriedl]

@gojiramonamarth because taake is number one ass hole, not burzum

[mayhemmaniac134]

@gojiramonamarth dats soooo true...\m/

[lod340]

Venom?

[NeosEtnies]

@lod340

venom black metal my ass. venom has nothing to do with black metal. nothing but that album's name. it was bathory who invented the sound of black metal as we know it today. venom is a cool band but it has not a thing to do with black.

[lod340]

@NeosEtnies are you fucking kidding me Venom's work was crucial to create the genre

[NeosEtnies]

@lod340

yes..the name. "black metal" that's it.

Venom is trash metal, not black.

[killerdeathmetal18]

@NeosEtnies back then it would have been classed as black metal.

just like slayer would have been classed as death metal

[Netbat63]

IK Behemooth is Blackened Death metal, but it's black more than death, so it should be in first place.

[AndrewBell]

very helpful list for beginners

[XxAnEvilWafflexX]

Mayhem, Burzum, and Blut Aus Nord ;)

[IvanChernomort75]

1. Bathory

2: Burzum

3: Emperor

4: Dimmu borgir (old stuff)

5: Summoning

6: Immortal

7: Darkthrone

8 : Mayhem

9: Satyricon

10 : Windir

[larawora]

fuck burzum varg is pussy and bathory is the best black metal

[666fuckoffandie]

i didnt care for the list but at least you didnt put cradle of filth in!

Long live Immortal!

[marilynknotborgir]

black metal is a genre i prefer extremely underground. its the only genre that i prefer this way.

[AmOnDeathBreath]

In greek blackmetal there are several bands of importance ( not only rotting christ ) such as Ravencult , Naer Mataron , Necromantia , Thou Art lord (Sakis was one of Thou Art Lord) , Nightfall , Legion Of doom , Agatus ! Black winter! Lykaionas! τι στο διαολο !!!! υποστηριξτε και λιγο το συνολο της ελληνικης black! μην λετε συνεχεια για τους rotting...!

[SOYNAPOLEON]

el qe hizo este video se debe matar por decir qe IMMORTAL es blacktrash ,est5a banda es black huevon asi que debe ser un descartado metal por decir eso......

[843andrew]

these songs make me want to spank my black cat

[ruteparedes]

thanks a lot. I'm new to the genre and appreciate your suggestions and info.

[Seaknifed]

Thumbs up! if you think Cradle of Filth is Gay

[AndrewBell]

@Seaknifed thank fuck somebody said it

[Seaknifed]

@AndrewBell No Thumbs up. Lol i think every watchers of this Video are cradle's fan. Sad :/

[Seaknifed]

Great List. Summoning is my Number 1 !

[manosrock123]

where is ROTTING CHRIST?? :O

[stp52x]

Mayhem is epic!

[wrestlingfan12321]

i thought graveland was partialy nsbm?

[coulthard1984]

@wrestlingfan12321 well,it is known between fans that there are some aspects on it :P but his stated that his main work is pagan metal xD

[AmOnDeathBreath]

very intresting bands on your countdown! it very special video sinve there are both hstoric black metal bands and other that I (personaly) do not usualy see in other countdowns!nice work bro \m/

[larawora]

burzum is best black metal ever

[levyundead]

Burzum is back!

[anssari1]

lol.wtf ? scary :D

[coulthard1984]

and Windir #3

[coulthard1984]

Bathory #1 Enslaved#2 :)

[radzio777]

Burzum is overrated comparing to bathory. Quorthon was great and influential composer and his style has evolved through the years and music has changed after every album. Varg just play black metal. nothing more.

[metalord97]

where are rotting christ??????



[spikedavid64]

hey man doesn anyone kno where i can download some mayhem?

[kalmegadensiferum]

bathory!

[LeadSailsIsTheTheory]

Bathory should be #1 in my opinion.

[ADeadlierSnake]

@LeadSailsIsTheTheory Well then its a good thing this isnt your video then

[Blackfrost149]

Also, Dark Funeral, Trelldom, and Watain are very good. Although I don't understand why I never liked those ones. Anything with Gaahl is good

[Blackfrost149]

Mayhem and Gorgoroth should both be higher. Also Graveland should be replaced with Dimmu Borgir. I know you're all gonna say Dimmu Borgir sucks but they are make some good music and they are an excellent example of symphonic black metal. Also, Merlin, Wolves in the Throne Room, and Judas Iscariot are good.

[EpsilonVector]

Love the Burzum "albums of importance" section: pretty much everything he did before going to prison.

[DarkAlistair]

Dimmu Borgir and Gorgoroth

[Melsoooon]

Bathory > all

[Mikeskiboshskiisme]

are there any black metal bands that use low pitch growls instead of high pitched growls?

[mancubius]

Yeah ,great list faggots ! You forgot to include Justin Bieber! Trololololol :D

[Sloranyth]

Dissection should be on this list otherwise a great list =)

[clickinman25]

Freaking hate death metal

[daltonplaysthesax]

my llist (no particular order): Leviathan, older Deathspell Omega (new isnt that bad just isn't really black metal), Nyktalgia, old Old Man's Child (Born of the Flickering album), Trist, Make a Change... Kill Yourself, Hypothermia, Taake, Xasthur, old Satyricon. my list is kind of depressing

[666PeterH]

Where are the 2 best (swedish) black metal bands DARK FUNERAL and MARDUK?? This list sucks

[ChronicInsanityBand]

Mine Would be 1. Gorgoroth, 2. Burzum, 3. Mayhem, 4. Dimmu Borgir, 5. Immortal, 6. Trollech, 7. Darkkirchensteuer, 8. Cradle Of Filth, 9. Nargaroth, 10. Satyricon.

[MrHobobum1]

Were the fuck is deicide? Or venom! There lik the fuking creators of black metal !!!

[ApocryphaAbaddon]

@MrHobobum1

Deicide is Death Metal and Venom is Thrash Metal.

[TheLilMischief]

Black metal is famous coz of Mayhem's coolest controversies

[outlawformetal614]

bathory.1 burzum.2 drudkh.3 mayhem.4 ulver.5 venom.5 gorgoroth.6 destroyer 666.7

totalselfhatred.8 circle of ouroborus.9(kind of) immortal.10

[outlawformetal614]

@HellRiver92 yeah i agree but some are way more influential and stuff than others

[HellRiver92]

i fuckin agree with your video just put bathory first he gave black metal its touch(identity)

[chedgooch]

[DeviaNZe]

Bathory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GoatsexKvlt]

I´m sorry, Emperor was there :p

[MetallicaBlitzkreig]

@DistortedBrian Black Metal is way better than your fucking deathcore. Listen to some real metal?

[xxbahpsxx]

MAYHEM'S THE BEST!

[DistortedBrain]

Black Metal is Deathcore's autistic cousin.

[aarongtr180]

@DistortedBrain Deathcore is the laughing stock of the metal community. "Yeah, let's play in Drop Z and do nothing but chug on the lowest string 'cause we can't write songs and we're so br00tal". Get that shit out of here.

[DistortedBrain]

@aarongtr180 Umad bro?

[fallen6968]

@DistortedBrain are you a douche bag? Why are you using the term 'U mad bro' on a black metal comment thread, don't talk like an aeropostale prep. I see them enough in society as is is today.

[DistortedBrain]

@fallen6968 Y u creeping all the comments brah? my comments not even on the front page. u mad?

[fallen6968]

@DistortedBrain you forgot to say bro after 'u mad' ;) and i'm perfectly calm dude

[Netbat63]

@aarongtr180 ...What? Uggghhh........ok, let's see first of all, this is called BLACK METAL, second not all Deathcore bands do that, third Deathcore is a good metal genre in fact the only bands that suck are the ones such as BMTH, and those faggly ones, not like Suicide Silence, Whitechapel, Impending doom, fourth, dude, drop z? i mean, Umad bro? DistortedBrain is right lol, u really are mad.

[aarongtr180]

@Netbat63 Considering you have BFMV and Papa Roach in your favorites, I'm having a hard time taking you seriously. Come back with at least a semi-decent taste in music and we'll talk. And yes, I am pissed off, because black metal bands with talent are getting less praise/exposure than deathcore bands with no talent.

[Netbat63]

@aarongtr180 Yes, i do have them in my favourites, you know why? I once liked them, now i only listen to 4 or 5 metalcore bands, good ones like Killswitch Engage, and not like those faggots that sing Waking the Demon i just dont like them anymore i opened my eyes, and papa roach i started to like them 2 years ago, and stopped less than an year after that so... i only listen to Death Metal, Deathcore, Those metalcore bands i said, and some other stuff.

[super123jason]

where is venom??? where is emperor???? where is dimmu borgir??? WHERE IS F*CKING CRADLE OF FILTH man???? omg!!! worst black metal list ever!!!! really bad...!!!

[stewy1897]

@super123jason lol just lol

[adrian123263]

@super123jason Cradle of FIlth isn't black Metal LOL

[EraOfBloodtv]

@adrian123263 Well not any more... principle of evil made flesh on the other hand...

[spikedavid64]

@adrian123263 then what are they"?

[GrotesqueKevin]

@adrian123263 So your going to tell me that "The Principle of Evil Made Flesh", "Vempire or Dark Faerytales in Phallustein", & "Dusk... and Her Embrace" are not Black Metal Albums? hmm I wonder why "METAL-ARCHIVES" considers them "Symphonic Black Metal" then? Your either an idiot or you've never actually heard COF.

[adrian123263]

@GrotesqueKevin LMAO!!!! Dude, Cradle Of Filth changed, they're not black metal anymore. Look it up anywhere, LOL. I wouldn't have 9 thumbs up if they were black metal, don't you think?

[GrotesqueKevin]

@adrian123263 Yeah, Didn't you notice how I mentioned their first three albums?

Your original comment didn't say "Cradle of FIlth isn't black Metal anymore" it just said they weren't black metal at all. Cradle of Filth is black metal, besides their new material, that's just shit metal.

[1TheMidnightSun1]

@super123jason Why do you want those mainstream "black metal" bands like Dimmu Borgir? You really think they're better than the one's on the video... my goodness

[super123jason]

@1TheMidnightSun1 man i dont "want" them......the truth is that it's not bad to be mainstream.....actually it means that people begin to love you and respect you more than other bands......everyone loved all this bands before their big succes....when they finally became mainstream people just started to flame them.....just accept the fact they get publicity and stop acting like someone who is "too sophisticated" to listen to bands like dB!!! get real pls

[GoatsexKvlt]

@super123jason Cradle of filth isn´t black metal, but yeah, where´s venom, emperor and the old dimmu borgir?

[TheExplodingPumpkin]

[EurynomuSlut]

@ksekolo8reutis Mayhem is the best. 

[KennyRobbers123]

I hate when songs have long ass openings

[GeminoSmothers]

@KennyRobbers123 then you hate black metal.

[KennyRobbers123]

@GeminoSmothers ehh I'm just not into it then. The long openings just kinda of drag on to me

[KennyRobbers123]

@GeminoSmothers I mostly listen to deathcore 

[GeminoSmothers]

@KennyRobbers123 black metal video! haha
