So I have been on a major kick with black metal of all kinds the past couple months. I've been listening to the genre for over 15 years now, my first exposure being Enslaved, but I've really dug in to it a ton recently. In this thread I thought I would share a new album each week, whether a past favorite or something new I've discovered, with the rest of you. I know the majority of those who post here probably don't listen to any black metal and that's ok. However, I know a few who listen to a lot of black metal, like Cyril, and some who have started dabbling their toes into the black metal pool, Katt, TAC, and Ariich.
I will be covering the vast majority of sub genres in black metal (Atmospheric, Melodic, Progressive, DSBM, Symphonic, WarMetal, Folk, Blackgaze, Blackened Thrash, Post-Black, Viking, Gothic, and Ambient). I probably won't cover too much if any first wave and/or straight ahead black metal. I'm more into the mixtures of sounds.
How this will work is, I will post a new album each week (most likely on Saturday/Sunday), and then we can all listen to it (those that are interested) and discuss it. If you are so inclined, you can give it a rating out of 10. I plan to keep a record in this OP of each album and the cumulative ratings it gets (assuming people actually want to rate it. If any of you have any other ideas for the thread, please let me know.
Another point, I do have a list of albums I will be posting put together already, but if you have any albums you would like to suggest to be featured in the thread, just send me a PM and I will sprinkle in suggestions at random intervals.
Sound good so far? Good.
