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
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
@Nester BARELY HOLDING TOGETHER = DRIVEN BY RHYTHM AND TECHNIQUE MORE THAN CONTENT
FITTING WITH ITS RELATIVELY RUSHED NATURE
But is something like Onward to Golgotha black metal?
Like the first 10 seconds of At the Stormy Gates of Mist
It's certainly closer than all of USBM.
Same with the first three Morbid Angel.
Like climbing up a mountain pathway and almost being overtaken by the wind
