The song Blizzard Beasts 2:12

Yeah

It's great. Way harder to do that than any tekdeaf

Except for like the necrophagist shred leads.

Why is Battles not very good, @diversity_is_racism ?

Honestly I'd say they're all about on par

First four anyway

I wouldn't say that at all

2nd and 3rd are a world apart from 4th

Immortal definitely with burzum had the strongest output.

Yeah

hvis/filosofem #1

Enslaved had a good run

pure/battles #2

But b list comparatively

Enslaved also has formulas. They're like Sacramentum level but I like Enslaved more.

Enslaved is very very good. But next to these two, nothing matches up.

The best two metal bands.

Immortal is Grotesque / At the Gates level

Idk they just had some of the best runs.

Immortal shits on both bands and make them look like losers.

Sabbath and Maiden did too.

Just some boners

Blunders thrown in.

Immortal alone is better than all heavy metal combined

Just Pure or Battles

@Nester LACK OF ACTUAL INTERNAL TENSION

SEEMS KIND OF LUKEWARM TO ME

better than all heavy metal and thrash combined.

LOVE THE FIRST, SECOND AND FOURTH

DO NOT MIND "AT THE HEART OF WINTER"

BUT IT IS LIKE CEMETARY

HIGHLY SENTIMENTAL

My buddy proved they rip off themselves in that to me.

It's all Miaden + earlier immortal riffs.

He sold the CD due to that

I don't understand that, @diversity_is_racism . Pure is a bit detached and whimsical. But Battles is extremely tense, as if it's barely holding together.

THE TOP TEN IN BLACK METAL ARE ALL FAIRLY COMPARABLE

And is being attacked from all sides perpetually.

CLEARLY BURZUM WINS THE GENRE

BUT OTHERS ALSO MADE GREAT WORKS, ALTHOUGH RARELY BEYOND THREE ALBUMS
