One of the top notch modern black metal bands which is also criminally underrated is Deus Mortem. They play very aggressive type of black metal which is varied at the same time with lots fantastic riffs, solos, vocal sections and slower parts as well. They released 2 full length albums so far, but their EP "Demons of Matter and the Shells of the Dead" exemplifies their style the best. By the way, I'm really glad you mentioned Cultes des Ghoules and Kriegsmaschine! They are another awesome bands from Poland.
Please, consider Blattaria (2017 ST). Sadly, this band received such little attention, and I think it is undeservedly underrated. Chaotic black metal at it's finest
Wyattxhim, great video as always. As someone that began to explore the more extreme acts of music after being primarily a prog rock/metal fan for most of their life ( Huge lifelong DT fan), your videos were my gateway into the black and death metal subgenre.
That’s pretty interesting to hear that your ethnicity is Portuguese (my home country). Not a lot of (good) bands we have here but maybe check out Decayed, Sirius, Genocide, Desire (personal favorite) or Arcanus Tenebrae. But yeah I still think the best stuff to come out of here is black Cilice n candelabrum.
Portuguese here. Really cool to know you have "Tuga" blood in you. Gaerea are probably the best black metal band from Portugal at the moment, they are roughly 10 years old, you should give them a chance, they are indeed good. Regarding Portuguese metal, yeah, most people only know Moonspell unfortunately. But we do have a very small and cool metal scene, bands like Besta (grindcore), OAK (black / doom), Grog (crust), and so on, have loads of potential! Greetings from Porto.
I recently discovered Lucifer's Child, a Greek black metal band that formed around 2013. They have a couple albums and a split album they did with Mystifier. They're pretty damn good, IMO.
Hi Wyatt. If you're interested in Portuguese bands, I recently discovered Angrenost, whose latest album was just released by the mighty Norma Evangelium Diaboli (a seal of quality).
hey Wyatt, could you do a video on the second/third wave of brazilian black metal? i could say it's kinda difficult to understand what stuff is happening in there because there is not a lot of info on much of the bands and members (unless you are participating in it i guess), i could give you some insides too in case you are interested in it!
Next year when I see you at les messe des morts, i’ll teach you how to pronounce all these french band names so you can be more pretentious when you say them
lol bro dont worry, i think ur a good dude. Its hard for me not sound like a dick when im asking u to pronounce a bands name in a french way. I was just fucking around. @@wyattxhim
Thantifaxath - this band never ceases to amaze me. Found them via Metal Music Theory channel, just before their latest album came out. I listen to Surgical Utopian Love and alwayls find some new aspects. And to add bands from the "similar" ground - Imperial Triumphant and Krallice. Svartkonst - love their classic swedish Boss HM-2 guitar tone and melodic parts.
Kaevum is the true highlight of the 21st century. Especially their lastest album Kultur, which is pretty much an equal to the best of Black Metal. In the veins of Nattestid Ser Porten Vid and Under The Sign of Hell, best of Black Metal still comes from Norway to this day, interestingly enough.
I love Human Serpent so fucking much. RIP. Akhlys and Thantifaxath are amazing bands as well. Good overall list. I'd add VI for the people who enjoy Deathspell Omega (check out Aosoth while at it). Other random suggestions I can think of at the top of my head: Gevurah, Ancst and Ultha
Can’t believe you haven’t included Urfaust in this list. Also, Oranssi Pazuzu are much more related to kraut rock (especially Can and Neu) than to Pink Floyd.
Svart-da-oo-fooss. Excellent list BTW, also appreciate the inclusion of Misþyrming, even though the Icelandic black metal scene isn't as hyped as it was before the 2nd Svartiđaudi album, they're still putting out excellent material.
My favorite blackmetal at this moment is wiegedood. 2 guitar players and a drummer and just absolutely menacing energy. Also live just out of this world highly recommend
Reverorum Ib Malacht, whom I've never heard, sounds like something I should not listen to. WTF is with those low background vocals. Its like they caged the original hecate enthroned singer and tortured him but kept the volume at 1/10. Weird and creepy .
Black metal is no longer relevant. Life demands a new metal genre. Not anti-Christian, but anti-woke. This will be the bomb of the 21st century. But modern musicians don't have the balls for that.
Judas Iscariot has been DONE for over 20 years already and KPN has been putting music out since like, 2000. The other band, I had never heard of until now, but they suck, and have been releasing music for 20 years already according to Metallum 😅
This is a very good list of bands. I love Akhlys, Arizmenda, Azelisassath, Black Cilice, Cult of Fire, Cultes Des Ghoules, Forteresse, Human Serpent, Misthyrming, Negative Plane, Oranssi Pazuzu, Thantifaxath, Ungfell, and Véhémence too. These bands incorporate a lot of other genres in their music and have tight songwriting as well.
@@Jimmy-n6j Very funny way to insult my username. Because I don't feel the need to upload videos and would rather just comment. Wyatt has got me into many bands, many of such mentioned in this video.
@@astrometal1994 Véhémence is very good. I got introduced to them in 2022 when they dropped Ordales. Very good medieval black metal and proof that the French scene is one of the best.
Hey wyatt, i bumped into you at a concert in iceland in the stairwell of the venue and we both looked so shocked that i couldnt really spit it out at the time but i just want to thank you for helping me and so many others gain more knowledge about the music they love. Hope you had a great time in iceland with your wife, Big Love
Some of my favorites are Imperial Triumphant, Thantifaxath, Suffering Hour, and The Axis of Perdition. Ahklys is also very good, though I need to listen to more. I'll give a side shoutout to Decoherence, a wild dissonant/industrial black metal band that's been gaining a little traction. Speaking of Icelandic black metal, I really enjoy the scene there. Bands like Svartidaudi, Almyrkvi, Andavald, and Skaphé are all pretty wild. I have about the least "trve" taste ever, I'm all about the off-kilter experimental stuff
Are you kidding me? Portugal had a huge underground. Decayed, Fili Nigrantium Infernalium, Corpus Christi, Inner Helvete, Sumum Malum, Infernus, Lux Ferre, Epping Forest, Azagatel, Bloody Tears... shit, Desire, Coldness, Morte Incandescente, Stuprum Dei, Flama Aeterna, not to mention the atmospheric or folk stuff like Sangre Cavallum, Inverno, Karnoss, Wolfskin. Not sure how things are nowdays because life happened and I left the scene a while ago (thanks for showing me Black Cilice), but the scene was very healthy in the 90's and turn of the century.
Swartadauþuz menas blackdeath in english and Svartadöden in swedish. The wierd symbol, þ is pronounced like TH in the word “thing” or “think". His stage name in its original form is pronounced Swartadauthuz.
For anyone completely lost about why there is not a single piece of information anywhere on the whole internet about "Reverend E. Mck", the name of the band is "Reverorum Ib Malacht"
Manybyrne, Odraza, Manni (technically its a continuation of Manes, but its also two separate bands), Ultha, Knokkelklang, Porenut, and Dodsengel, and of course the band behind the best Atmospheric Black metal album of all time Walknut are all my top recommendations. Going to check some of these out! Also don't you love that no one can talk shit about wearing a Burzum shirt anymore unless they would be as willing to admonish someone for wearing a Kanye shirt? Its kind of a beautiful fuck you to society!
@@wyattxhim I don't know what needledrops are. All I know is that a person wearing a Burzum shirt these days is either a nazi/idiot or an edgelord who thinks he is making some clever against-the-grain statement, but in reality just loves the smell of his own farts.
@@vitnemec8365judging by your subscriptions you absolutely know who I’m talking about so don’t play dumb . Wears a Burzum shirt these days ? As in I’ve had the shirt for quite a handful of years now and it’s not like Burzum was never controversial to begin with so congrats on figuring this out in 2024. End of the day it’s just a shirt dude and the fact that you’re trying to find some moral high ground over it is just pathetic.
sorta long time viewer of you wyatt, since around 2022 atleast you made me find alot of bands i listen to now cheers and does anyone know the background music because the link leads to a deleted page
Awesome list! A couple more 21st-century bands I love are Lamp of Murmuur and Mephorash. Lamp plays some bread-and-butter second wave stuff, but with undercurrents of other genres that are pretty refreshing (the only exception being the latest release, which was a very overt tribute to Immortal’s At the Heart of Winter). Submission and Slavery is the fan favorite album for a good reason, and I hope the goth rock twist is a style that they’ll return to in the future. As for Mephorash, after a bit of a rough start, they’ve really come into their own with their last three full lengths. They play a very orchestral and borderline ceremonial kind of black metal, kinda like Cult of Fire, Batushka, or some of Behemoth’s work. What makes Mephorash stand out to me is how well the songs flow into each other and how cohesive their sound has become - 2023’s Krystl-Ah sounds like it was recorded almost immediately after 2019’s Shem Ha Mephorash, which in turn sounds like an extension of their 2015 album.
I gotta say man, in my Black Metal listening, which has been fairly lengthy I guess, i can handle a bit now. Not a lot of it gets to me or disturbs me, but that Ahklys...that was really intense. It actually made me ask myself if I should keep listening to it or to stop. Of course, I cant resist and I will have to experience it again. But it makes me nervous to think of "going in there" again. 😊
Another band I found which is a bandcamp find is a band called HHWWAUOCH. They’re part of a collective called the Prava kollective. Just extremely dense and chaotic black metal. Very bass driven. This project is the one that stands out to me the most of the collective
@@wyattxhim I'm especially familiar with Vat gëlénva!!!, which is an album that helped me getting into the genre: really raw atmo-black that has quite a warm sound, especially thanks to that lovely cheap sound of the keyboards. Damián Antón Ojeda (the person behind the project) is also known for the blackgaze project Sadness (which I have yet to check out).
Necropole, Azelsgard, Mons Veneris, Morgal, White Death, Circle of Dawn, Noenum, Warmoon Lord, Blood Red Fog, Depravement, Ornaments of Sin, Ultra Silvam,
You should get the Burzum-ception shirt of Kanye wearing his Burzum shirt. Also Akhlys fucking RULES. I love how punchy and bright the production is, especially with their last album Melinoë. Same guy that does Cattle Decap productions.
The last few years in particular have given us some excellent bands that are certain to gain traction in the coming; Scarlet Empyrean, Suicidechain, Arbor, Faith, Vereist & Self Execration to name a few... Definitely all worth a listen.
Actually Portugal has a well known black metal scene, and, strangely, Portugal is pretty good at experimental hip hop, such as Colonia Calunia, Notwan and record producer Vulto.
Aosoth, sinmara, svartidaudi, wormlust, andavald, naðra, zhrine, enevelde... I think black metal is more than alive and is still evolving and changing, thanks to the new projects that keep rising, challenging and expanding the genre sounds.
I’m one of those assholes that says “if it doesn’t sound like it was recorded on an answering machine underwater it ain’t black metal to me”. I can’t stand clean production lol
I hope you won't mind if I suggest two marvelous bands from the Balkans. Both are worth checking out, IMO. Those are " prognan" and "ravens" (gavranovi - originally written in Cyrillic letters) .
thats an illegal shirt please hand it over
Nope!! 👎
Says who? Cry about it 😎
@@BloodMythos 99.1945% sure it was a joke
Burzum Shirt + Meguiar's Wheel & Tire Cleaner; have your wheels looking NICE 😙👌.....
Bro what are you talking about? I'm pretty sure that merch came from Kanye West
Nice list. I've been enjoying Nornir from Germany and Blood Countess from the UK.
One of the top notch modern black metal bands which is also criminally underrated is Deus Mortem. They play very aggressive type of black metal which is varied at the same time with lots fantastic riffs, solos, vocal sections and slower parts as well. They released 2 full length albums so far, but their EP "Demons of Matter and the Shells of the Dead" exemplifies their style the best.
By the way, I'm really glad you mentioned Cultes des Ghoules and Kriegsmaschine! They are another awesome bands from Poland.
Please, consider Blattaria (2017 ST). Sadly, this band received such little attention, and I think it is undeservedly underrated. Chaotic black metal at it's finest

If you have not already, consider listening to the Tliltic Tlapoyauak compilation it is black twillight circle bands and there is a lot of variety.
Hi Wyatt. If you're interested in Portuguese bands, I recently discovered Angrenost, whose latest album was just released by the mighty Norma Evangelium Diaboli (a seal of quality).
That's totally random but could you make a video covering sludge metal or bands in this genre?? I'd love a video like that from you

You need to check Kaevum and Deus Mortem. Easily my favorite BM bands of this century.
Necrochamber and Crimson Moon
Véhémence is fucking amazing
Good list, actually i think Obsequiae is much better than Vehemence if you looking for a good medieval sounding black metal
Suprises you didnt mention Gaerea considering they are the best known Portuguese Black Metal band from the 21st century, not a fan?
Some of mine are imperium dekadenz and ringare

Can’t believe he didn’t mention Krallice
I actually found out about krallice a while back. Their album diotima made me fully believe they need to make some kind of soundtrack.
Gaerea is from Portugal. New one too, they're known out there (I prefer Black Cilice though ;))
obrigado!
Can’t believe you haven’t included Urfaust in this list. Also, Oranssi Pazuzu are much more related to kraut rock (especially Can and Neu) than to Pink Floyd.
Would The Ruins Of Beverast be considered Black Metal enough?That band has been really consistently excellent for the last 20 years.
Aquilus also is a perfect project specially debut album is so damn good

@@mylerwilson4879 They are no more sad and pathetic than Per "Pelle" Yngve Ohlin and John Andreas Nödtveidt, whose fate is the definition of weakness.
