@@wowno5763 lol of all the bands you could haver pulled out, i'd say they are by far the best, consistent and productive bands of the black metal bunch.
i agreed with you until you said Burzum and Mayhem. Burzum is a f*ing hype and doesn't deserve all the attention he gets. Most of his albums aren't even remotely BM. As for Mayhem, the band should have ended with Euronymous. He was the heart of it. Mayhem without him makes no sense. It would have been legendary and deserving of a position in the top 3. But they wanted to keep going and ruined the legacy. Now they're just a gimmick and people go to see them only because of their past glory.
┼ Mayhem ┼ yeah whoever the dude is at Loudwire that picks the video clips for these should be shot. Dude fucking sucks and clearly doesn’t give a shit about what’s actually shown in the videos, just that it’s a video of whatever band it is he’searching up on RUclips real quick to get footage of
Really? Enslaved over Bathory? I can respect Darkthrone and can understand Emperor, but fucking Enslaved? Really? Also, no Gorgoroth or Venom? Fuck this list.
+Oliver Hayhoe To be honest, Venom really isn't black metal. They may have coined the term, and really brought the black metal theme to ground, but if anything, they were closer to thrash metal.
It’s a strategy to have you watch the video to find out, even though they don’t include the song titles. If they included the bands/songs in the description, some people might not watch - I think.

To be honest I only like the Dead era Mayhem, but Burzum is always good. And all that stuff Varg did after he got out of prison is pretty amazing, especially when you smoke some weed and chill out to that ambiental sound.
@@kostka8152 wrong wrong and wrong my friend. He only wroted some of the lyrics from the last song and wroted maybe 1 or 2 riffs and thats it. The whole album was musically created by euronymous(with a help from hellhamner obviously) and dead wroted most of the lyrics before his suicide.
A best Black metal band list without including VENOM and CELTIC FROST is an incomplete and inaccurate best black metal band list. A little respect please.
Shaun Martin to a casual listener like myself the whole genre seems to owe its success to Mayhem. In a genre as theatrical as black metal I think the antics outside the musical aspects are important. They were pioneers, interesting characters and they gave the genre the notoriety it still has to this day. Many of the milestones of the early scene are linked to Mayhem, and by running Helvete they facilitated other early artists.
I’m also a Slayer fan. Your list isn’t bad at all! My list is somewhat similar.. 10: Gorgoroth 9: Marduk 8: Emperor 7. Enslaved 6. Ulver 5. Shining 4. Venom (not a huge fan, but I respect their impact.) 3. Bathory (same as venom) 2. Diagnose: Lebensgefahr (More atmospheric than Black Metal, but it has its attributes.) 1. Silencer (don’t hate me for this, but they represent true melancholy and horror in a very well manner.) Honorable Mentions: Mayhem, Darkthrone. (Not a big fan of both, just they made a huge impact.)
Bathory, Mayhem, Immortal, Burzum… all bands that got me into black metal. Favourite metal song however, is by Windir funnily enough, and the song’s called Journey to the End.
Being influential doesn't mean being the best/most interesting, although I can deff agree on the Bathory pick, "The Return" is the first true Black Metal record, ever.
Confessing how sinful I've been. All these years on youtube I just type in "black metal playlist" and let it autoplay while I study or work.. not knowing bands or song names.. Good thing that came out of this quarantine is that it makes me do individual search on those bands/songs now lol 😁🤘
+Larry Ebensteiner Venom started the genre ass hat, along with Mercyful Fate, Celtic Frost and Bathory. Every true black metaller will tell you that without those bands the genre wouldnt exist
but VENOM IS NOT BLACK METAL i know they coined the term but they arent black metal at all, they just named their album black metal, they started the name, Mercyful Fate and Celtic Frost influenced BM music-wise
Venom defined what black metal was all about, satanic lyrics. All bands whose themes revolved around satanism were called black metal bands during the 80's. BATHORY and Celtic Frost help establish the sound and Mercyful Fate just plainly kicks ass.
..behemoth use to be black metal not anymore thy are clealry more in the death metal relm and venom just coined the term. They were most certainly just a heavy metal band. 1979 were talking here
person who made this list clearly had a very shallow knowledge when it comes to black metal and basically listed the most well known bands within the genre, so rather boring list considering how much more interesting stuff there is available when you dig a little deeper.
+SolarBaits Tbh loudwire doing a black metal list is a joke seeing they'll just pick the most popular. BUT, don't you think black metal is ABOVE this kind of thing in general?
Top three: #1 Darkthrone #2 Mayhem #3 Bathory Oh and I just recently discovered Tormentor, which is Atillas original band from Hungary.. I don’t know how this band somehow slipped under my radar. They were absolutely awesome and if it weren’t for the fact that they didn’t produce much material, (only one album that I’m aware of) I would absolutely have them close to the top of this list also. Atillas vocals with Tormentor were far superior to anything he’s done with Mayhem imo.
1. Dimmu Borgir (trve kvlt, some may not know this one) 2. Lordi 3. Psycho Synner 4. Deathspell Omega 5. Bullet For My Valentine 6. Insane Clown Posse 7. Kiss 8. Alice Cooper 9. Nickelback 10. Bathory (gotta pay respect to the pioneers)
The title says bands, and lets be honest, Burzum its not a band. Also...WATAIN? They are great...but common, Gorgortoh, Satyiricon, Old Mans Child, ULVER, Even Dimmu Borgir in their best times (3 first records) would fit better.
1: Emperor 🤘😈🤘 -Best song: With Strength I Burn 2: Mayhem -Best song: Dark Night Of The Soul 3: Flukt -Best song: Fortapelse 4: Dissection -Best song: The Somberlain 5: Entropic Awakening -Best song: Covenant of The Condemned 6: Immortal -Best song: Withstand the Fall of Time 7: Darkthrone -Best song: En Vind Av Sorg 8: Burzum -Best song: Det Som Engang Var 9: Batushka -Best song: Yektenyia I-IV 10: Dimmu Borgir -Best song: The Insight and The Catharsis Honorable mentions: Bathory, Shining, Satyricon, Thorns, Gaahl’s Wyrd, Mgla
@@quinn.0 Yeah, Attila is probably my least favorite Mayhem vocalist, but he has an unique voice that fits Mayhem's music. Just because his voice sounds strange, doesn't mean that he is a shit vocalist
1. Burzum 2. Bathory 3. Darkthrone 4. Mayhem 5. Mgla 6. Dissection 7. Emperor 8. Deathspell Omega 9. Inquisition 10. Blut aus Nord My personal faves off the top of my head, if I had to write it down again the rankings would probably be different each time.

1)Dead - Euronymous' Mayhem
Still, great list
Awesome List! My list would be: 10: Dark Funeral 9: Marduk 8: Ulver 7: Enslaved 6: Burzum
5: Gorgoroth 4: Emperor 3: Bathory 2: Darkthrone 1: Mayhem
I’m also a Slayer fan. Your list isn’t bad at all! My list is somewhat similar..
10: Gorgoroth
9: Marduk
8: Emperor
7. Enslaved
6. Ulver
5. Shining
4. Venom (not a huge fan, but I respect their impact.)
3. Bathory (same as venom)
2. Diagnose: Lebensgefahr (More atmospheric than Black Metal, but it has its attributes.)
1. Silencer (don’t hate me for this, but they represent true melancholy and horror in a very well manner.)
Honorable Mentions: Mayhem, Darkthrone. (Not a big fan of both, just they made a huge impact.)
The Darkthrone song is 'Under a Funeral Moon'.
sveik-Official bless your soul ive been trying to find the name of that song for like 20 minutes in this stupid comment section
LOVE YOU MAN
Bathory, Mayhem, Immortal, Burzum… all bands that got me into black metal. Favourite metal song however, is by Windir funnily enough, and the song’s called Journey to the End.
Top 3 should have been Darkthrone, Burzum, and Dead-Era Mayhem.
Hit the nail in the head. Good man.
couldnt be more right. with bathory at 4
Thank you!!!
This is the only correct answer
mayhem nowadays sucks
That 2004 mayhem show sounded like shit
yeah fuck maniac
number one is supposed to be black veil brides.
this list sucks!
Daniel Hyatt 🤦♂️
SynysterWxlf661 he is *TRIGGERED* can't measure a jokes
No I was just glad this was a joke lol. Some people actually believe they are bm.
What the fuck ? Are you think BVB is Black Metal AND they must be number one ? xDD Why there are many 15-years old kid in here ?
Hahaha
Satyricon, Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth, Darkthrone, Ulver, Daemonarch, Dark Funeral, Ancient...
dimmu and cradle arent black metal anymore
Watain????
@@Kristian89 dimmu are
Gorgoroth, Nargaroth...?
@@Kristian89 they are symphonic black metal.
1- Bathory....
immortal or darkthrone
Burzum is shit, Bathory and Darkthrone are the best
burzum is ok, but still immortal
immortal is a comedy in its own.....
The vocals in Burzum were what made it cool but yeah the music was nothing too special
Where is Satyricon!?!?!?
I'm guessing its because they went more towards rock & because they are considered cheesy.
@@Rebel_71123 wtf are u talking about?
Their early stuff was black metal, they're more black'n roll these days
@David Gibson Come at me bro, you ain't afraid to take on a cringelord are you?
@David Gibson Hey I didn't a word about liking Satyricon or black n roll, I'm just saying it for the people who aren't familiar about it
Venom, Bathory, and Mercyful Fate. Without them black metal wouldn’t exist. That’s why they’re my top 3
Imperium Celtic Frost
@@Armando.Sepulveda Or if you wanna go a bit more back, then Hellhammer
Being influential doesn't mean being the best/most interesting, although I can deff agree on the Bathory pick, "The Return" is the first true Black Metal record, ever.
Mercyful Fate are more heavy metal, however Bathory should definetely be first
But none of them are pure black metal. For example, without the Beatles metal wouldn't exist but you don't exactly go around calling the Beatles metal
Idk much about black metal but I do know that burzum should be way higher on this list
To be honest Mgla and Drudkh should be on this if they do 20s.
They don't even know who Mgla is. Other bands should have been on this list, like Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, Behemoth, Rotting Christ...
You know it's a shit list when burzum and mayhem are 8th 7th
And no gorgoroth
The footage of darkthrone playing live is the most kvlt thing I’ve seen🖤
My top
1.Mayhem

2. Burzum

GORGOROTH?
BEHEMOTH?
HUrrICaNe Behemoth are loosely black metal. They are mostly death metal.
Blackened death actually
mark egipto Blackened Death is a subgenre for Death Metal.
Confessing how sinful I've been. All these years on youtube I just type in "black metal playlist" and let it autoplay while I study or work.. not knowing bands or song names.. Good thing that came out of this quarantine is that it makes me do individual search on those bands/songs now lol 😁🤘
No Gorgoroth, No Behemoth, No Venom... I can't even...
venom and behemoth arent even black metal
+Larry Ebensteiner Venom started the genre ass hat, along with Mercyful Fate, Celtic Frost and Bathory. Every true black metaller will tell you that without those bands the genre wouldnt exist
but VENOM IS NOT BLACK METAL i know they coined the term but they arent black metal at all, they just named their album black metal, they started the name, Mercyful Fate and Celtic Frost influenced BM music-wise
Venom defined what black metal was all about, satanic lyrics. All bands whose themes revolved around satanism were called black metal bands during the 80's. BATHORY and Celtic Frost help establish the sound and Mercyful Fate just plainly kicks ass.
..behemoth use to be black metal not anymore thy are clealry more in the death metal relm and venom just coined the term. They were most certainly just a heavy metal band. 1979 were talking here
person who made this list clearly had a very shallow knowledge when it comes to black metal and basically listed the most well known bands within the genre, so rather boring list considering how much more interesting stuff there is available when you dig a little deeper.
+SolarBaits YES!
+SolarBaits thanks... i cringed so hard at mayhem..
+SolarBaits Tbh loudwire doing a black metal list is a joke seeing they'll just pick the most popular. BUT, don't you think black metal is ABOVE this kind of thing in general?
I agree with you
Somber 666 black metal is not popular
I wish Dead would rejoin Mayhem :(
Dead is dead.
Abhinav Srivastava dead dead in the bed
I was thinking about digging up Dead's corpse and make myself a shirt out of his torax.
... That's brutal.
Dead is God
It's Candy Time Boys and Girls but was cremated...
Top three: #1 Darkthrone
#2 Mayhem
#3 Bathory
Oh and I just recently discovered Tormentor, which is Atillas original band from Hungary.. I don’t know how this band somehow slipped under my radar. They were absolutely awesome and if it weren’t for the fact that they didn’t produce much material, (only one album that I’m aware of) I would absolutely have them close to the top of this list also. Atillas vocals with Tormentor were far superior to anything he’s done with Mayhem imo.
Bathory should've been #1
in my opinion.
1. Dimmu Borgir (trve kvlt, some may not know this one)
2. Lordi
3. Psycho Synner
4. Deathspell Omega
5. Bullet For My Valentine
6. Insane Clown Posse
7. Kiss
8. Alice Cooper
9. Nickelback
10. Bathory (gotta pay respect to the pioneers)
Your lists are too cute...😁😆
I think you forgot behemoth and gorgoroth
Behemoth is blackend death metal.
+Andrew Wilson early behemoth was black metal soo lol
+SpIKe6535 whateaver a black metal list isn't complete without Gorgoroth.
Marino Oliveira very true sir and mayhem
+Marino Oliveira This black metal list is faaaar from being complete...
You don't have Gorgoroth on this list, which is bad because this band is one of the most important along with the same Mayhem and Burzum

8-Behemoth
7-Immortal

immortal should be in second... burzum not even in the list!
Oliver Hayhoe he defended himself this is not a murder it's self defence wich became to murded
dimytar georgiev HE STILL KILLED A MAN
+Oliver Hayhoe hahaha, go listen to punk rock then, if you want to listen some bitches withouth balls, bye.
The title says bands, and lets be honest, Burzum its not a band. Also...WATAIN? They are great...but common, Gorgortoh, Satyiricon, Old Mans Child, ULVER, Even Dimmu Borgir in their best times (3 first records) would fit better.

you're an absolute normie, good bands yes but all entry level
also are you kidding? attila was the worst mayhem vocalist
@@quinn.0 I have my opinions just like you.
@@quinn.0 Yeah, Attila is probably my least favorite Mayhem vocalist, but he has an unique voice that fits Mayhem's music. Just because his voice sounds strange, doesn't mean that he is a shit vocalist
I started to laugh when I read Dimmu Borgir being present in your list. Plus, you said, their best song, a song within their sold-out era. lol
bathory should be #1 on any list worth shit
