metal metal

[kid cue]

my good metalhead friend lent me a handful of music and i've been digging: Sepultura, Slayer, Morbid Angel, Cradle of Filth, Dissection, and the first Metallica album. a lot of thrash but i was especially intrigued by Cradle of Filth and Dissection, black over thrash. have a long long list to peruse, but does anyone have any black metal recs? don't say Tool.

Oh man, Dissection are great! Not too fond of Cradle of Filth they are kind of heavy metal + goth rock mix with way too many keyboards :P I'll make you a list, mind you I have not heard everything. For now check Watain!!

Anyways I was playing WoW when I read this as you know Black Metal is my new obsession, I am buying records like crazy but I am pretty new to this stuff myself.

--Black Metal Bands
Darkthrone - Transylvanian Hunger
Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas
Gorgoroth - Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam
Marduk
Watain - Rabid Death's Curse and Casus Luciferi
1349
Satyricon
Deathspell Omega - Kenose and Si Monumentum Requires Circumspice
Emperor (too many keyboards for my taste, i have to listen to the old stuff)
Burzum - The first 4 records
Xasthur - any
Leviathan - any
Striborg - any

yeah, that friend of mine adores Mayhem and Marduk and Emperor. i listened to an old scratchy Gorgoroth demo of his and it was deliciously (if scarily) evil. thanks man!

a lot of the black stuff i heard was on this sweet compilation Nordic Metal--track it down!

Also check Immortal, they are like the 'KISS' of black metal. Completely riddiculous but fun as hell to listen to

[EuroZeroZero]

Blind Guardian.

Best fucking metal band alive

You know this album is a classic supposedly. I have to track it down, it is out of print though

Your friend has awesome taste

Im not sure if this is metal or not coz i cant classify it as easy i can with electronic stuff but check these out becuase they rock.

Cutting Pink With Knives - Oh Wow
The Locust - Plague Soundscapes

Pig Destroyer - the most awesomely absurd name I've ever heard. Still not heard them but my friend who unleashed this t-shirt on us one crazy morning at my house swears by them.

ps,
The t-shirt is awesome, imagine being wasted with friends and seeing your mate take of his top and be wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with Pig Destroyer with this angry wee white face
