Tbh kinda Surprised Hellhammer/Celtic Frost isn’t on this list. Bathory definitely should have at least one of the 1st 4 albums in the top 5. I think you could switch places with Weakling or Agalloch for that.
My top 3 would be Echoes Of Battle by Caladan Brood, Melancholie by ColdWorld and either Écailles De Lune by Alcest, or if you don't consider them black metal then Hjørungavågr by Utstøtt
In all honesty a lot of really good choices. I’d rate Emperor’s In the Nightside Eclipse as the number 1 best one. It’s also good that they got that Weakling album Dead as Dreams. That band only made one amazing album then dipped. I also approve of Agalloch, Enslaved, Bathory, Windir, Dissection, Burzum, Mgla, Nokturnal Mortum, Drudkh, Deathspell Omega, and the Ruins of Beverast being on this list.
With metal album charts I tend to generally agree with the Rym rankings than either Sputnik or Metalstorm. Metal Archives doesn't really have a top rated charts feature just polls at the end of the year. But yeah RYM community generally has a similar taste in metal as me LOL but for a spontaneous top 10 for me 1. Burzum- Hvis Lyset Tar Oss 2. Emperor- In The Nightside Eclipse 3. Darkthrone- Transylvanian Hunger 4. Drudkh- Autumn Aurora 5. Burzum- Filosofem 6. Bathory- Blood Fire Death 7. Immortal- Pure Holocaust 8. Dimmu Borgir- Stormblast 9.Dissection- Storm of The Lights Bane 10. Ulver- Bergtatt Maybe swap some of these around with stuff like De Mysterium or Under Sign of Black Mark or even Anthems to the Welkin but this is a spontaneous ranking so this is my list TODAY and tomorrow I would prob write a slightly different one lol
Hey Questy ! So cool that you make a video about RYM ! What's your username in there out of curiosity ? Would be glad to see your ratings and follow you ! Interesting video as always :)
I am surprised there is no Inquisition, Negura Bunget, Bethlehem, or Summoning. Each of those bands have had at least one album that excelled, maybe even classics.
Paysage D´Hiver is great but there are so many black metal albums before 1995 which deserve a higher rank. These Rym Top lists are so strange, especially the Death metal top list.
I wish RYM let yellow bannered albums chart, or at least have an option for it to be in the charts. A lot more Nokturnal Mortum, GBK, and Peste Noire would be high up on the chart
NSBM will never receive mainstream critical praise or acceptance, and rightly so. Deal with it. Doesn't mean you can't listen to it and enjoy it. Just don't whine because most people won't touch literal Neo-Nazis with a 100 foot pole. The only exception to this is Burzum of course, but then again the only thing Neo-Nazi about Burzum is Varg's dumbfuck ideology and political beliefs; none of Burzum's music, lyrics, song titles, artwork etc. have ever reflected this.
If the other albums weren’t yellow-bannered (RYM users will know what I mean), I feel like Nokturnal Mortum would make up a tiny bit more of RYM’s list. Goat Horns especially.
@@wheelsofmercuryVerity and Weltanshauung/Myrovozzrieniye aren’t controversial though. Goat Horns is a great album and probably the least controversial of their early material.
@@mindful2864 Weltanschaaung totally is a controversial record, though! It’s got some very, uh… not so nice things about Slavic people in there. Still very well structured and performed, though. Goat Horns and Verity aren’t controversial in the slightest.
@@wheelsofmercuryI honestly had no idea that Weltanschauung was even controversial. I thought the band stopped having controversial lyrics after Nechrist. The lyrics on Weltanschauung may be interpreted as Ukrainian nationalism but not exactly national socialism.
Hipsters dominate RYM which is why Deafhaven and Weakling are ranked so high. RYM is good for finding music but the reviews are not completely accurate. Though it depends. I can understand why artists like Bob Dylan and Kendrick Lamar are important and influential and people like them but their music does nothing for me. And many great metal albums on the site have mediocre ratings.
Too much feckin Darkthrone in here. Meh... Storm of the light´s bane should be number one, followed by Immortal or Inquisition´s Nefarous dismal oration. Missing strongly Marduk in this top 40.
Filosofem is so overrated. The previous albums are much better in my opinion. Also Agalloch is great but doesnt fit in comparison to the other. Weakling and Deathspell Omega is also overrated in my opinion.
@@wheelsofmercuryI agree. Never got why people call Agalloch black metal, especially since their influences are early Katatonia, Ulver, and God Speed You, Black Emporer.
Agalloch was really the best of more modern black metal. They deserve to be up with old classics. Them, Nokturnal Mortum and Mgla are my top 3.
No dimmu or satyricon? What the fook
Make more RYM videos. It's also good to watch for people new to genres.

Hipsters don't like HH/CF, that is why

Where the heck is Summoning??
Summoning definitely deserves a mention, especially for Minas Morgul.

The top 2 rightfully at the top 2.
No Blut Aus Nord? Heresy.
Blut Aus Nord definitely deserves to be on this list.
The Mystical Beast Of Rebellion has been one of my top 5 most listened to and favorite black metal albums for a long time, so I agree.
Agalloch and Weakling have been high for a while on there - real oddity
Hey Questy ! So cool that you make a video about RYM ! What's your username in there out of curiosity ? Would be glad to see your ratings and follow you !

The greatest black metal album is In the Nightside Eclipse. No contest.
do a panopticon ranking lad Austin's dropping in a few days
I have the Weakling logo tattooed on my leg

Or at least have a toggle on and off option for those types of albums. I still understand why RYM does it, though.
I like all those bands but I understand why RYM doesn’t want to include them. They don’t want to have a bad image associated with them.
@@mindful2864 ^ bingo

@@wheelsofmercury I have no idea. They and whoever else makes a divide on them only further keep shooting themselves in the foot and rightly so.
You should do the prog metal list; Dream Theater isn't even in the Top 40 on RYM LOL
The Mantle isn't on the list because it doesn't have a black metal related primary genre.
If the other albums weren’t yellow-bannered (RYM users will know what I mean), I feel like Nokturnal Mortum would make up a tiny bit more of RYM’s list. Goat Horns especially.
They would still be lower on the list due to their controversies, though.

Questy trying out the Andrew Tate haircut again! Top G!

No panzefaust? , no to mega therion?
tldw: good albums but put them in chronological order
No Sargeist? Nonsense
Ashes is way better than the Mantle
I prefer marrow and pale folklore to both 😉
Are you female?
I am surprised no one ever talks about Covenant- In Times Before The Light and how great it really is
Filosofem is so overrated. The previous albums are much better in my opinion. Also Agalloch is great but doesnt fit in comparison to the other. Weakling and Deathspell Omega is also overrated in my opinion.
Agallloch is kinda like half neofolk, half metal.
@@wheelsofmercuryI agree. Never got why people call Agalloch black metal, especially since their influences are early Katatonia, Ulver, and God Speed You, Black Emporer.
Give yourself 10 years when you first heard it and come back. I swear you will go full circle mate.
