RUclips recommendations. :D I think an Agalloch song just popped up in my front page. I already listened to some really weird shit back then, so the blackish sounding didn't frightened me.
Erste Gehversuche vor über 10 Jahren mit Cradle of Filth (schäme mich ja schon), dann lange Pause. Irgendwann Venom, wieder Pause, Dark Fortress, dann ein Clip von Advent Rising, und plötzlich Mgla und The Committee. Und dann immer tiefer in den Kaninchenbau. Aber die Wurzeln auf meinem Weg zum Metal überhaupt, sind und bleiben Motörhead. First tried it with Cradle of Filth (sorry). Long pause. Then i got my hands on some Venom, another pause, then Dark Fortress, a clip of Advent Rising, and suddenly Mgla and The Commitee. And from this point, alwas deeper into the rabbit hole.

Today I told a guy, "remember that guy who killed himself and his picture was on the album? Well, this it the guy who killed the guy who took the picture of the guy who killed himself."
I went from black metal (after Dimmu Borgir released their Spiratual Black Dimensions album) to X-Japan. I still like black metal, but almost anything released after 1998 doesn't really worth it.
@@villepalmu348 I did try to listen to mgla 2-3years ago after someone made me this suggestion. It sounds like Burzum, which is very good. But, at my current age, 41yo, I mostly listen music for nostalgia (I have other stuff to do than listen new bands). 20years ago, I used to listen a polish black metal: Graveland. They did great stuff in the 90s. I definitely prefer the black metal from the 80s and the 90s. But, thanks for your suggestion.
"Morbidly" "Mayhem" i'm guessing it was an accidental reference there Dead (Mayhem's singer) had a pre-mayhem band called "Morbid", they released some cool songs, highly recommended
I’m Transilvanian. Seeing a Norwegian band release a record with “transilvanian” in it got me straight into black metal. (At first I didn’t understand why some Norwegian dudes were so interested in creating a record about a region filled with lovely people and sunny hills...and making it sound evil) P.S. Transilvania is such a lovely place. And the cuisine is great. Please visit us. Thx
"P.S. Transilvania is such a lovely place. And the cuisine is great. Please visit us. Thx" That sounds to me like Romania's version of a white windowless van and a bowl of candies. Nice try bud, but I'm not falling for it...again!
Interesting. I know it's a joke but I feel like I need to express my own opinion. I've got to met a good amount of people with a variety of tastes in music, including metal. What I noticed is that a tech death fan is in general, far less exigent than your average metalhead...This weird oxymoron happens because of the overwhelming effort that is put onto the brain. The overwhelming procession of the information tires it up requesting for peace and/or simplicity, thus, it's a natural response of the body longing for rest, in this case, the brain. So don't be shocked if you see a guy who listens to Obscura or The Faceless also listening a relaxing jazz, dream pop or lo-fi. Yes, I know people that do exactly that, and I'm one of them! Haha.
A kid I went to school listened to black metal, wore the attire, and was openly anti-religious. Growing up religious made it very taboo for me, but I was fascinated by it. I grew up in the woods. When I started listening to black metal, I understood the woodland atmosphere. No other genre of music provides such a feeling. I’ve always been drawn to the nature side of black metal rather than the anti-religious side, though I’m not religious anymore.
do you have any songs or bands you'd recommend in that particular area of black metal? I love the nature themed stuff, always looking for more to listen to
I’ll just name off some black metal bands I like, some might not fit the nature theme: Agalloch, Ash Borer, Wolves in the Throne Room, Krallice, The Ruins of Beverast, ColdWorld, Thantifaxath, Leviathan, Sun Worship, Yellow Eyes, Dodecahedron, Wodensthrone, Fen, Lunar Aurora, Der Weg einer Freiheit, Folkvang. I just picked some from a playlist I listen to frequently. Also, I’m not a European black metal purist. There are tons of amazing artists from the US. I can point you to some specific songs while I’m at it too: “In the Shadow of Our Pale Companion” or “Black Lake Niðstång” - Agalloch, “My Curse was Raised in the Darkness Against a Doomsday Silence” or “Descended Lamentations” - Ash Borer, “I Will Lay Down My Bones Among The Rocks And Roots” or “Thuja Magus Imperium” - Wolves in the Throne Room, “Dimensional Bleedthrough” or “IIIIIIIIIIIII” (13) - Krallice, “I Raised this Stone as a Ghastly Memorial” or “The Pythia’s Pale Wolves” - The Ruins of Beverast, “Tortured by Solitude” or “Scars” - ColdWorld, “The Bright White Nothing at the End of the Tunnel” or “Void Masquerading as Matter” - Thantifaxath, “Scar Sighted” or “The Remotest Cipher” - Leviathan, “Elder Giants” - Sun Worship, “In this Stillness” - Yellow Eyes, “Vanitas” - Dodecahedron, “First Light” - Wodensthrone, “Winter” - Fen, “Sterna” - Lunar Aurora, “Eiswanderer” - Der Weg einer Freiheit, “The Home Among the Stars” - Folkvang. I hope you find some new songs you like from this list.
I'm the same, I prefer the more Nature and Cosmic and beautiful classical side of Black Metal like with Atmospheric and Ambient Black Metal and Post Black Metal/Blackgaze. My favourite band is Petrychor.
Nahh...you just need to search for your own „Black pearls“ Yep, there is a lot of boring or just shitty BM out there, but if you‘re searching carefully, you‘ll get to know a lot high-quality gems as well, there are a lot of talented and brilliant minds in BM
Truth, we didn't even call it black metal, it was all called satanic metal. it was bands like Venom, Bathory and Celtic Frost and the satanic panic was kicking off in the states. somehow i was cattled into a christian youth group gathering and they showed us a film about the trappings of satanic music. they played a clip of Black Metal by Venom and I went to the record store the next day and copped it. Satan got me apparently because I was 14, I'm 45 now and Black Metal is my favorite style of metal along with old school thrash.
@@EverythingDeadly I sit back and laugh at how "scary" those bands were to society in the 1980s. Imagine if a band like Watain happened in 1989 instead of 2009... 😄😭💀 (Another Old nerd timeline screw-up fantasy)
For me it was Darkthrone and Mayhem. I was already into thrash metal and death metal, so naturally, I felt black metal was the next step. Happy to say I love it! Thrash still has my heart though. First subgenre I actually got into and the major of my playlist is thrash.
I think it was Skyforest for me, I love the haunting voices filled in this „landscape-and-nature“ love At the moment my fave bands are Windir, Møl, Kalmankantaja, Evilfeast and Dwarrowdelf
I am actually surprised when people look strange at me when I tell them I listen to BM.. but then I remember that I thought exactly the same about 8 years ago.
For me Dunkelheit was first like noise (already listened to many BM bands), but after the third time something changed and I have seen the light (darkness).
Well, I'm Polish and the name of Bathory is quite present in my country's history as Stephan Bathory was one of our kings. So when I googled him for school reasons, by accident I stumbled upon an Wikipedia article about his niece, Elisabeth Bathory and read her story. And on the bottom of the page I saw the culture references section, where I learned that there's a band named after her. And since I was already getting bored with softer metal, I gladly welcomed Bathory and black metal into my life.
This is so true!! My drummer who passed recently helped get me into black metal with suggestions of bands while we practiced guitar. Then as time went on he told me how he was getting into classical and soundtrack music! Too funny. Miss you Eric.
Sorry, but i only go to Billie Eilish shows! Her vocals on 'Bad Guy' song are so extremely brutal, she beats Angela Goscow from Arch Enemy! If you disagree, you are a poser! Cannibal Corpse sell handbags! Dude, if you think that was serious, then drink some coffee. Here! ☕☕☕☕
@Claudia Solomon I only listen to Ambient, Atmospheric, Classical, Cosmic, Progressive, Technical, Synthwave Power Black Metal, anything else is just Pathetic and doesn't evolve your Conciousness to the 6'th Dimensional Platforms of the New Universe.
I had a girlfriend that recommended Silencer to me, I gave them a listen but I thought it was boring and nonsense besides the story of Nattramn so I forgot about It. Like a year later I entered in a bad time for myself and revisited Silencer, I remember the screams and the music somehow making me feel better and good with myself. So I started looking on RUclips for more Black Metal and discovered Burzum, Filosofem was the first Black Metal album that I heard from start to end. From then I started listening to more and more, I even have a solo project and I'm looking forward to release my first album
@@ANQ187 I like the classic "bad" sound but I think I will try to make it more understandable in the mix. The problem is that I don't have a good mic so my options are limited at the time. I'm already saving some money for better equipment
Same, I think Dunkelheit was really what started my appreciation of Black Metal. I was always a big Doom Metal fan (still am) and Electric Wizard was definitely a gateway of sorts into more harder underground, at the time, stuff.
For me it started with Behemoth, yeah, I know, I was big on death metal and Behemoth was a good inbetween gateway band. Now I'm heavily into the Icelandic black metal scene.
Holy shit man, this is sooo accurate. In 2009, a friend of mine showed me Silencer and Sterbend and I just couldn't listen to it. After a few years, these 2 bands became one of my favorites. I wish i could listen to some dsbm with him today, he was my only friend who used to listen to the genre. He passed away in 2016.
Try Nyktalgia, same members from Sterbend. Their stuff is considered top 5 in DSBM along with Thy Light, Xasthur. I recommend you Vinterland from Sweden, they have only one album, they are not categorized DSBM but its probably the best melodic black metal album ever and its very melancholic and sublime. Try it and let me know.
@@vulgrim909 Of course. Why not? I like Slipknot but I also like DSB, Death, Black, Doom Metal (etc.). I listen to a variety of different bands from different subgenres. 🤷♂️
Welch bittere Verzweiflung, Wut und Frustration du mit diesem "Grr" projiziert hast, lässt Eingeweide erfrieren und und mein Herz in schierer Begeisterung brennen. Welch auszeichnungswürdige Performance!!
I was in a horrific place in my life when I discovered Cradle of Filth, which while not black metal sent me down the path of darker music. Again, in another low point in life, I found bathory's blood fire death, which pulled me in an angrier and darker path than prior. Then finally I got into the deepest pits I could. Finally I found something that gave my rage a voice.
Truth is that I started with bands like Bullet for my valentine and slapnuts, but then I discovered Bathory(I dont remember how) The first somg I listened to was Call From the Grave. It has been 4 years since then Ive discovered so many bands and so many sub-genres. Thanks Quorthon for these curse called being a metalhead
This is so accurate. I first got into black metal with Dissection as I was a huge fan of Gothenburg Melodic Death Metal at the time and I kept hearing their name. Once I discovered Emperor that opened everything up to me.
I crossed the black gates for the first time with My Journey to the Stars. I almost felt like the song was made for me. Black metal made me stronger and confident.
My friend Kevin introduced me to Wintersun in 8th grade. Showed me sadness and hate. I was enjoying the instrumentals and I was surprised when the vocals came in, I remember thinking it was kind of funny, I laughed at him I was like “you like that?” And he was deadass, “yes I like that.“ And I found it intriguing. I kind of explored on RUclips a bit, I found immortal and behemoth, gorgoroth and cradle of filth, some of the bigger names bands that use rougher vocal styles. I know that’s not all black metal, but that’s where I started. And I was pretty happy with the content I found there for years, a lot to digest. And RUclips autoplay brought me to burzum one day and I was blown away by the rawness and coldness and intensity, I fucked with it heavy. Spent awhile focused on burzum, like a year probably and then one day I remember telling someone I like black metal and they asked what bands do I like and I realized I really only listened to a couple of black metal acts. So I made a point of doing some more exploring. Got sucked into Xasthur’s whirlwind, literally nonstop listening to him. Holy fuck that guys music is a trip. Long story but yeah I had to ease into it I guess. I didn’t start with Xasthur that’s for sure 😂 Now I let Spotify autoplay and it shows me all kinds of good stuff I haven’t heard before.
I started with classic metal Megadeth, Metallica, Pantera, SOAD this stuff, then my girlfriend at the time told me "You that love blasphemy and latin, try this band, blood, goat heads, lyrics about satanism. I don't like them but you should try". So I tried, Gorgoroth obv, then Behemoth, Mayhem and Belphegor. A big and wonderful trip, now are four or five years I listen to black metal and damn I'm very glad to that girl
Oh damn,that video is totally me like when I first listened to metal I started with band like slayer,slipknot etc. when I listen black metal for the first time (darkthrone-kathaarian life code) that's scared the shit out of me, I'm like wtf is that . 2 Months later when I attempted to listen second time I liked it now I'm black metalhead and I have black metal page on instagram. This video made my day , Thanks!
A good friend of mine first recommended me the Belus album, from Burzum, but bored me as fuck the first time. Still, being a massive shoegaze fan, catched very soon with albums like Filosofem and Det Som Er Gang Var, and De Mysteries Dom Sathanas. It's such a romantic and expressive genre, which often gets misjudged.
This is so freaking accurate. Now I'm the old one telling my nieces (who are now in the Slipknot phase): "after nu-metal comes death metal, then black metal, then you become old and you end up listening to folk music and instrumental soundtracks." (Classical music accepted too).
On high school at 14 years old Rammstein fan boy i was introduced to Dimmu Borgir, some weeks later i change the industrial looking into this fetish panda with peeks and chains hahaha black metal is cool
Honestly I saw this a few months ago when I first got curious about black metal and I never noticed the melody in the song It sounds significantly less angry than it did the first time
For years I've listened only to De Mysteriis, but not even that much. Then, a couple of years ago, my cousin, who brought me into metal, put Transylvanian Hunger on the CD player in the living room. I loved it instantly. That experience made really interested in Black Metal, but I had to wait until my cousin (yes, he did it again) talked me about Mgła. Since then, BM is what I listen to most of the time.
My own journey into appreciating black metal was similar, but more self inflicted. We had this program on MuchMusic here in Canada called Loud, which I always used to tape on VHS (because I'm old LOL). One night, they played the video for Emperor's "Loss And Curse Of Reverence", and I fucking HATED it... and yet there was something about it that I couldn't put my finger on that fascinated. I kept going back and rewatching the video, never really enjoying the song but getting more and more fascinated. A year or so later, I wound up stumbling across In The Nightside Eclipse at a used cd store and was like "Oh, it's those Emperor guys, I'm going to give this a chance" and boom, it finally clicked, and led to me exploring the genre further. Now I absolutely love Loss And Curse, and Nightside Eclipse is still my favorite black metal album to this day!
It went like this. Amon Amarth -> Bathory -> Mayhem -> Burzum -> Darkthrone -> Gorgoroth -> Svartskaldr. I had never heard a genre that described my own thoughts so perfectly.
At first, I only liked the First Wave, with bands like Bathory, Hellhammer, Vulcano, Tormentor (and prided myself in not liking "shitty Norwegian Black Metal"). Then one day I decided to give A Blaze In The Northern Sky a go. It took a bunch of listens before I started to appreciate it, but once I got it, it just snowballed. It was mainly the atmosphere, the coldness, anger and melancholia that sucked me, a somewhat introverted and isolated teenage metalhead, in. Nowadays I can't relate to BM like I did before. I don't feel the same and my life has changed a lot for the better, but I sometimes still find myself longing for the beautiful, cold and isolated atmosphere of Black Metal...
I read the story in a magazine and then bought a cheap mp3 copy of the entire burzum discography in local market's town (piracy), then I listen to darkthrone, mayhem, and so on. At the beginning I didn't understand it but then I got empathy with the concept, the cold sound and everything, and now I'm a full obsessed black metal freak. Those guys were very radical and revolutionary, in a time of highly technical and commercial development in metal sound, they instead looked back and brought the ancient sound of underground metal music, particularly from the 80s, taking out in the process a new whole level of cold grimness and darkness.
Honestly Metal and Classical are my favorite music genres. I love rock too, but in terms of intensity, it is more in the middle. Metal and Classical are the two opposite ends of the musical spectrum. A perfect balance~
When I was first becoming a metalhead, I accidentally started with black metal... I was watching my fav yt channel's guitar playthrough, Dimmu Borgir's Raabjorn Speiler Drogenheim Skodde and thought it was pretty good - checked out the first album he rated on his music blog that was from my country, and it was awful. Hegemony by SAMAEL. Just noise and static. Looking back on it, idek how I thought it was just noise, there's so much rhythm.
I find that a liking for certain metal subgenres comes from whether or not you feel it in the moment. If you don't feel the emotions that the music connects to, then you won't FEEL the music, if you get my meaning.
This is really how it happens tho lmfaoo I find it so weird that you’ll listen to something and initially think it sucks, but something just keeps drawing you back to it until you like it.
i remember i saw a meme of varg vs euronymous with war by burzum as the background song, by that time i only listened to deftones, korn, slipknot and maybe metallica. but i went immediately to search that song in Spotify because the sound of that riff was just like an eargasm to me. then I started to pick interest in the mayhem lore and the inner circle bands, i remember that Transilvanian hunger was the first black metal album i fully listened too but then I didn't listened to it like for a month, then i would remember little random parts of the songs and after a week black metal was literally the only thing that I enjoyed listening
How i became a black metal head *random metal guy on youtube* says: Jesus Tod by burzum it's a cursed song or something like that Me: Oh okay *i start listening the song* Me: oh it's strange but somehow i like it *my mind continues repeating the riffs* Me: holy shiet i really love that song, lemme check more stuff the i became a black metal head :D
Honestly this very video. I've watched your channel for a long time as an avid Deathmetaller because your videos are relatable to me even though I never really got into Black Metal. Not that I never tried, it's just it never really clicked... Until I saw this video and heard that riff at the end. "Holy Hell what a riff" I thought to myself which ended up with me checking out The Cult Is Alive, and I've gotta say it's a fucking great album from front to back. You brought me to the first ever Black Metal album to truly resonate with me. Thank you \m/
I came to Black Metal over Atmospheric Black Metal like Caladan Brood, Gallowbraid, Dzo-Nga and others. First it's noise but then you learn to hear the emotions and melodies behind the instruments. Now im stuck with Imperium Dekadenz, MGLA, UADA and stuff like that. :)
Lol, I feel kind of guilty watching this video because it's true on my part. It was Burzum and Darkthrone that introduced me to black metal. Panzerfaust album was my very first experience until it grew so much on me and led me to find some more black metal stuff. Great video, man! :D
I'm a late convert; I was 42 or 43. I was totally fed up and annoyed one day, wanted to listen to something loud and brutal that *wasn't* Slayer, so looked up Black Metal on RUclips. Ended up watching the 'Black Metal Satanica' doco, liked what I saw/heard, checked out some bands classed as BM, and the last 5 years is history. Yes, I am old enough to have been around in the late 80's/early 90's and although many of my friends were into metal, we didn't have any knowledge of the Norwegian Black Metal scene until its implosion and the infamous Kerrang! magazine piece, which by then was a bit late. Obviously, it wasn't being played on the radio at the time, and there were no streaming services or similar to check it out; I guess something about it appealed though and the concept of the scene stayed in the dark corners of my head.
when i was a kid my local humor mags mention a few metal bands in some of their skits.. years later i search on the internet upon the names and the rest is history... thx sir for paving the path
Yeah, that's pretty much right. Middle/high school was Bullet for My Valentine, System of a Down, Korn, etc. Then I start dating a black metal chick in college, but I didn't get seriously into it until after we stopped dating. She put me on the folk metal path, which led to Windir and Moonsorrow.
It took me years to appreciate Black Metal. I honestly don’t agree with most the ideals espoused within the genre but something about it as an art form always pulls me in and in recent years it’s become one of my favorite metal genres.
I remember listening to Transylvanian hunger for the first time and I thought it was terrible, but then I heard blaze in the northern sky and loved it. I never fully appreciated Transylvanian hunger until like a year later and it blew me away.
I got into black metal and started searching for good bands. I live in finland and there's like 70+ bands here alone. I'm gonna be retired and there's still gonna be bands I havent listened. You always discover something new...
The way I got into black metal was a few months ago. I was on Twitter and randomly came upon a page called Gandlfr the White. Its a cool page about TTRPG's and Paganism. I read some comments on his tweets. The people kept calling him "Varg" and "Varg Vikernes". I looked up Varg Vikernes and saw Burzum and Mayhem. I got completly caught up in the history of everything and then ultimately fell in love with the music, and then many Black Metal bands.
Always give newbies a chance! It's about support and not about feeling superior.
How did you get into Black Metal?
Agalloch
First bands i listened to were mayhem and darkthrone, but i'm pretty sure they're the bands most people start on
RUclips recommendations. :D
I think an Agalloch song just popped up in my front page. I already listened to some really weird shit back then, so the blackish sounding didn't frightened me.

I can point you to some specific songs while I’m at it too: “In the Shadow of Our Pale Companion” or “Black Lake Niðstång” - Agalloch, “My Curse was Raised in the Darkness Against a Doomsday Silence” or “Descended Lamentations” - Ash Borer, “I Will Lay Down My Bones Among The Rocks And Roots” or “Thuja Magus Imperium” - Wolves in the Throne Room, “Dimensional Bleedthrough” or “IIIIIIIIIIIII” (13) - Krallice, “I Raised this Stone as a Ghastly Memorial” or “The Pythia’s Pale Wolves” - The Ruins of Beverast, “Tortured by Solitude” or “Scars” - ColdWorld, “The Bright White Nothing at the End of the Tunnel” or “Void Masquerading as Matter” - Thantifaxath, “Scar Sighted” or “The Remotest Cipher” - Leviathan, “Elder Giants” - Sun Worship, “In this Stillness” - Yellow Eyes, “Vanitas” - Dodecahedron, “First Light” - Wodensthrone, “Winter” - Fen, “Sterna” - Lunar Aurora, “Eiswanderer” - Der Weg einer Freiheit, “The Home Among the Stars” - Folkvang.
I hope you find some new songs you like from this list.
I'm the same, I prefer the more Nature and Cosmic and beautiful classical side of Black Metal like with Atmospheric and Ambient Black Metal and Post Black Metal/Blackgaze. My favourite band is Petrychor.
Im very religious, Christian. However love Black Metal. I just avoid the satanic themed black metal thats it. Leviathan is the ish
@@Randinator As a new fan of black metal, thank you for the recommendations even though they werent for me :)
black metal fans be like: music is bad but you get used to it
Nahh...you just need to search for your own „Black pearls“
Yep, there is a lot of boring or just shitty BM out there, but if you‘re searching carefully, you‘ll get to know a lot high-quality gems as well, there are a lot of talented and brilliant minds in BM
also applies to weezer fans

Try jute gyte, the album “oviri”, that shit took me a week to get used to.
Truth, we didn't even call it black metal, it was all called satanic metal. it was bands like Venom, Bathory and Celtic Frost and the satanic panic was kicking off in the states. somehow i was cattled into a christian youth group gathering and they showed us a film about the trappings of satanic music. they played a clip of Black Metal by Venom and I went to the record store the next day and copped it. Satan got me apparently because I was 14, I'm 45 now and Black Metal is my favorite style of metal along with old school thrash.
Oh man, I've haven't listened to Celtic Frost in forever. That's next on my playlist.
@@EverythingDeadly I sit back and laugh at how "scary" those bands were to society in the 1980s. Imagine if a band like Watain happened in 1989 instead of 2009... 😄😭💀

Death, Black and Thrash. My 3 stages of grief.
YES
Switch out thrash for doom, and that’s how it is for me
What about Grindcore and Funeral Doom?
Black and Doom are my 2
That's how it is for me as well. But I also love classic rock and also prog rock as well.
Burzum and Darkthrone is the first step.
For me it was Darkthrone and Mayhem. I was already into thrash metal and death metal, so naturally, I felt black metal was the next step. Happy to say I love it! Thrash still has my heart though. First subgenre I actually got into and the major of my playlist is thrash.
For me it was Ulver and Anaal Nathrakh, hahaha.
For me it was Burzum and Windir
I think it was Skyforest for me, I love the haunting voices filled in this „landscape-and-nature“ love
At the moment my fave bands are Windir, Møl, Kalmankantaja, Evilfeast and Dwarrowdelf
In the beginning I hated burzum. First bands I liked was bathory, darkthrone and mayhem fo sho. Emperor made me fell in love with the style no doubt
Him: "That's just noice!"
Also him: *Death poster on the background*
:D
Death is much more accessible than Transylvanian hunger, and on every album after leprosy they’re not even full death metal

I starded listening burzum and i heard dunkelheit i was like "wow tf this is just too good"
lol same started with freezing moon and dunkelheit
For me Dunkelheit was first like noise (already listened to many BM bands), but after the third time something changed and I have seen the light (darkness).
Same man. I found Dunkelheit like 4 years ago, liked it, but moved on. Picked up Mayhem and learned the history, and I went on from there.
T U K E when I first heard Dunkelheit it blew my mind.
Same xD found Dunkelheit in the middle of the night
Well, I'm Polish and the name of Bathory is quite present in my country's history as Stephan Bathory was one of our kings. So when I googled him for school reasons, by accident I stumbled upon an Wikipedia article about his niece, Elisabeth Bathory and read her story. And on the bottom of the page I saw the culture references section, where I learned that there's a band named after her. And since I was already getting bored with softer metal, I gladly welcomed Bathory and black metal into my life.
This is so true!! My drummer who passed recently helped get me into black metal with suggestions of bands while we practiced guitar. Then as time went on he told me how he was getting into classical and soundtrack music! Too funny. Miss you Eric.
Hey kid, want to listen to some Emperor?
Kid: Uh ok

Pretty much what I'm going to do sometime with my mate.
@Claudia Solomon I only listen to Ambient, Atmospheric, Classical, Cosmic, Progressive, Technical, Synthwave Power Black Metal, anything else is just Pathetic and doesn't evolve your Conciousness to the 6'th Dimensional Platforms of the New Universe.
I had a girlfriend that recommended Silencer to me, I gave them a listen but I thought it was boring and nonsense besides the story of Nattramn so I forgot about It.
Like a year later I entered in a bad time for myself and revisited Silencer, I remember the screams and the music somehow making me feel better and good with myself.
So I started looking on RUclips for more Black Metal and discovered Burzum, Filosofem was the first Black Metal album that I heard from start to end. From then I started listening to more and more, I even have a solo project and I'm looking forward to release my first album
I want to recommend a band: Mourning by Morning. You can find the album on youtube.
@@ANQ187 I like the classic "bad" sound but I think I will try to make it more understandable in the mix.

Old school Amon Amarth actually has some BM sounds

haha ich dachte von dir kommt ein Kommentar zum österreichischen T-Shirt
@@Farvann steht da guat des laibl ;)
Same, I think Dunkelheit was really what started my appreciation of Black Metal. I was always a big Doom Metal fan (still am) and Electric Wizard was definitely a gateway of sorts into more harder underground, at the time, stuff.
I misread your name as Satahnas instead of Ananas lol
@@woodenhoe lol! I have to admit, Futschas Sathanas does not sound that bad ;)
For me it started with Behemoth, yeah, I know, I was big on death metal and Behemoth was a good inbetween gateway band. Now I'm heavily into the Icelandic black metal scene.
“And too cold”
*Proceeds to commit several eargasms*
Holy shit man, this is sooo accurate. In 2009, a friend of mine showed me Silencer and Sterbend and I just couldn't listen to it. After a few years, these 2 bands became one of my favorites. I wish i could listen to some dsbm with him today, he was my only friend who used to listen to the genre. He passed away in 2016.
Try Nyktalgia, same members from Sterbend. Their stuff is considered top 5 in DSBM along with Thy Light, Xasthur.
I recommend you Vinterland from Sweden, they have only one album, they are not categorized DSBM but its probably the best melodic black metal album ever and its very melancholic and sublime. Try it and let me know.
I got into Black metal because of a band called "Shylmagoghnar"

I was in a horrific place in my life when I discovered Cradle of Filth, which while not black metal sent me down the path of darker music.
Again, in another low point in life, I found bathory's blood fire death, which pulled me in an angrier and darker path than prior.
Then finally I got into the deepest pits I could. Finally I found something that gave my rage a voice.
Cradle is amazing
It was probably good to have the Filth to come home to after another disappointing day at work
@@Katechon1349Richmooooond
Truth is that I started with bands like Bullet for my valentine and slapnuts, but then I discovered Bathory(I dont remember how) The first somg I listened to was Call From the Grave. It has been 4 years since then Ive discovered so many bands and so many sub-genres. Thanks Quorthon for these curse called being a metalhead
It was that very same album that got me into black metal back in the 90s. Then I got obsessed with it. Funny videos bro.
it's pretty much how i got into bm but with early behemoth and mayhem instead
Yeah! Behemoth was a big influence for me when I was 17 - 19 years old
This is so accurate. I first got into black metal with Dissection as I was a huge fan of Gothenburg Melodic Death Metal at the time and I kept hearing their name. Once I discovered Emperor that opened everything up to me.
Gothenburg Melodic Death Metal is very specific, but I do know a band that fits in there and it's my second favorite band of all time.
I crossed the black gates for the first time with My Journey to the Stars. I almost felt like the song was made for me. Black metal made me stronger and confident.
My friend Kevin introduced me to Wintersun in 8th grade. Showed me sadness and hate. I was enjoying the instrumentals and I was surprised when the vocals came in, I remember thinking it was kind of funny, I laughed at him I was like “you like that?” And he was deadass, “yes I like that.“ And I found it intriguing. I kind of explored on RUclips a bit, I found immortal and behemoth, gorgoroth and cradle of filth, some of the bigger names bands that use rougher vocal styles. I know that’s not all black metal, but that’s where I started. And I was pretty happy with the content I found there for years, a lot to digest. And RUclips autoplay brought me to burzum one day and I was blown away by the rawness and coldness and intensity, I fucked with it heavy. Spent awhile focused on burzum, like a year probably and then one day I remember telling someone I like black metal and they asked what bands do I like and I realized I really only listened to a couple of black metal acts. So I made a point of doing some more exploring. Got sucked into Xasthur’s whirlwind, literally nonstop listening to him. Holy fuck that guys music is a trip. Long story but yeah I had to ease into it I guess. I didn’t start with Xasthur that’s for sure 😂
Now I let Spotify autoplay and it shows me all kinds of good stuff I haven’t heard before.
The acting is so immersive great video
I started with classic metal Megadeth, Metallica, Pantera, SOAD this stuff, then my girlfriend at the time told me "You that love blasphemy and latin, try this band, blood, goat heads, lyrics about satanism. I don't like them but you should try". So I tried, Gorgoroth obv, then Behemoth, Mayhem and Belphegor. A big and wonderful trip, now are four or five years I listen to black metal and damn I'm very glad to that girl
Then, you should marry her... 😇
I was obsesed with Tsjuder at the begining, they were for me the most trve and cold norwegian black metal, and i still feel them deep in my heart
Oh damn,that video is totally me like when I first listened to metal I started with band like slayer,slipknot etc. when I listen black metal for the first time (darkthrone-kathaarian life code) that's scared the shit out of me, I'm like wtf is that . 2 Months later when I attempted to listen second time I liked it now I'm black metalhead and I have black metal page on instagram. This video made my day , Thanks!
Kathaarian life code was my first too
A good friend of mine first recommended me the Belus album, from Burzum, but bored me as fuck the first time. Still, being a massive shoegaze fan, catched very soon with albums like Filosofem and Det Som Er Gang Var, and De Mysteries Dom Sathanas. It's such a romantic and expressive genre, which often gets misjudged.
Lol that happened to me... First time I listened to black metal felt afraid ... And now I love it
This is so freaking accurate. Now I'm the old one telling my nieces (who are now in the Slipknot phase): "after nu-metal comes death metal, then black metal, then you become old and you end up listening to folk music and instrumental soundtracks." (Classical music accepted too).
I started listening to Black Metal to get rid off my noisey neighbours . It worked after 4 months they moved , and i fell in love with the genre .
On high school at 14 years old Rammstein fan boy i was introduced to Dimmu Borgir, some weeks later i change the industrial looking into this fetish panda with peeks and chains hahaha black metal is cool

Impaled Nazarene Ugra Karma, I was 13y, still my fav album

For years I've listened only to De Mysteriis, but not even that much.
Then, a couple of years ago, my cousin, who brought me into metal, put Transylvanian Hunger on the CD player in the living room. I loved it instantly. That experience made really interested in Black Metal, but I had to wait until my cousin (yes, he did it again) talked me about Mgła. Since then, BM is what I listen to most of the time.
My own journey into appreciating black metal was similar, but more self inflicted. We had this program on MuchMusic here in Canada called Loud, which I always used to tape on VHS (because I'm old LOL). One night, they played the video for Emperor's "Loss And Curse Of Reverence", and I fucking HATED it... and yet there was something about it that I couldn't put my finger on that fascinated. I kept going back and rewatching the video, never really enjoying the song but getting more and more fascinated. A year or so later, I wound up stumbling across In The Nightside Eclipse at a used cd store and was like "Oh, it's those Emperor guys, I'm going to give this a chance" and boom, it finally clicked, and led to me exploring the genre further. Now I absolutely love Loss And Curse, and Nightside Eclipse is still my favorite black metal album to this day!
It went like this.
Amon Amarth -> Bathory -> Mayhem -> Burzum -> Darkthrone -> Gorgoroth -> Svartskaldr.
I had never heard a genre that described my own thoughts so perfectly.
At first, I only liked the First Wave, with bands like Bathory, Hellhammer, Vulcano, Tormentor (and prided myself in not liking "shitty Norwegian Black Metal"). Then one day I decided to give A Blaze In The Northern Sky a go. It took a bunch of listens before I started to appreciate it, but once I got it, it just snowballed. It was mainly the atmosphere, the coldness, anger and melancholia that sucked me, a somewhat introverted and isolated teenage metalhead, in.
Nowadays I can't relate to BM like I did before. I don't feel the same and my life has changed a lot for the better, but I sometimes still find myself longing for the beautiful, cold and isolated atmosphere of Black Metal...
50% of 90s kids who got into black metal, including me, say the same story:" Cradle Of Filth."
Same here
That's how pretty much anyone gets into any type of music really.
I read the story in a magazine and then bought a cheap mp3 copy of the entire burzum discography in local market's town (piracy), then I listen to darkthrone, mayhem, and so on. At the beginning I didn't understand it but then I got empathy with the concept, the cold sound and everything, and now I'm a full obsessed black metal freak. Those guys were very radical and revolutionary, in a time of highly technical and commercial development in metal sound, they instead looked back and brought the ancient sound of underground metal music, particularly from the 80s, taking out in the process a new whole level of cold grimness and darkness.
Honestly Metal and Classical are my favorite music genres. I love rock too, but in terms of intensity, it is more in the middle. Metal and Classical are the two opposite ends of the musical spectrum. A perfect balance~
I learned about Black Metal through memes
Same tbh
Had to pause the video at 0:34 to go listen to Transilvanian Hunger.
When I was first becoming a metalhead, I accidentally started with black metal... I was watching my fav yt channel's guitar playthrough, Dimmu Borgir's Raabjorn Speiler Drogenheim Skodde and thought it was pretty good - checked out the first album he rated on his music blog that was from my country, and it was awful. Hegemony by SAMAEL. Just noise and static. Looking back on it, idek how I thought it was just noise, there's so much rhythm.
I find that a liking for certain metal subgenres comes from whether or not you feel it in the moment. If you don't feel the emotions that the music connects to, then you won't FEEL the music, if you get my meaning.
This is really how it happens tho lmfaoo I find it so weird that you’ll listen to something and initially think it sucks, but something just keeps drawing you back to it until you like it.
i remember i saw a meme of varg vs euronymous with war by burzum as the background song, by that time i only listened to deftones, korn, slipknot and maybe metallica. but i went immediately to search that song in Spotify because the sound of that riff was just like an eargasm to me. then I started to pick interest in the mayhem lore and the inner circle bands, i remember that Transilvanian hunger was the first black metal album i fully listened too but then I didn't listened to it like for a month, then i would remember little random parts of the songs and after a week black metal was literally the only thing that I enjoyed listening
1:40 i felt that anger

Honestly this very video. I've watched your channel for a long time as an avid Deathmetaller because your videos are relatable to me even though I never really got into Black Metal. Not that I never tried, it's just it never really clicked... Until I saw this video and heard that riff at the end. "Holy Hell what a riff" I thought to myself which ended up with me checking out The Cult Is Alive, and I've gotta say it's a fucking great album from front to back. You brought me to the first ever Black Metal album to truly resonate with me. Thank you \m/
I felt so represented hahaha
But the older guy in the video was my older personality of myself showing me our path into metal.

That was one of my first tracks, too. I think the very first was Carnage by Mayhem.
Such a great song. My favorite Burzum song along “Ea lord of the Depths”☠️
I came to Black Metal over Atmospheric Black Metal like Caladan Brood, Gallowbraid, Dzo-Nga and others. First it's noise but then you learn to hear the emotions and melodies behind the instruments. Now im stuck with Imperium Dekadenz, MGLA, UADA and stuff like that. :)
😂😂😂😂😂😂ugh so angry, let's give that cd another chance. Why not.
Lol, I feel kind of guilty watching this video because it's true on my part. It was Burzum and Darkthrone that introduced me to black metal. Panzerfaust album was my very first experience until it grew so much on me and led me to find some more black metal stuff. Great video, man! :D
So true. Thats how i first listened to black metal, and it was Immortal's Pure Holokaust. And has always been my favorite BM rekord ever since.
I'm a late convert; I was 42 or 43. I was totally fed up and annoyed one day, wanted to listen to something loud and brutal that *wasn't* Slayer, so looked up Black Metal on RUclips. Ended up watching the 'Black Metal Satanica' doco, liked what I saw/heard, checked out some bands classed as BM, and the last 5 years is history. Yes, I am old enough to have been around in the late 80's/early 90's and although many of my friends were into metal, we didn't have any knowledge of the Norwegian Black Metal scene until its implosion and the infamous Kerrang! magazine piece, which by then was a bit late. Obviously, it wasn't being played on the radio at the time, and there were no streaming services or similar to check it out; I guess something about it appealed though and the concept of the scene stayed in the dark corners of my head.
when i was a kid my local humor mags mention a few metal bands in some of their skits.. years later i search on the internet upon the names and the rest is history... thx sir for paving the path
2:44 I genuinely got excited after hearing that darkthrone reference
Most accurate representation of how I became a black metal head.
Yeah, that's pretty much right. Middle/high school was Bullet for My Valentine, System of a Down, Korn, etc. Then I start dating a black metal chick in college, but I didn't get seriously into it until after we stopped dating. She put me on the folk metal path, which led to Windir and Moonsorrow.
It took me years to appreciate Black Metal. I honestly don’t agree with most the ideals espoused within the genre but something about it as an art form always pulls me in and in recent years it’s become one of my favorite metal genres.
Perfect selection
I remember listening to Transylvanian hunger for the first time and I thought it was terrible, but then I heard blaze in the northern sky and loved it. I never fully appreciated Transylvanian hunger until like a year later and it blew me away.
17, my first contact of black metal music was "With strength I burn", proudly went down the path since then.
My progression into black metal.
- Enslaved (thanks to metal- a headbangers journey)
- burzum
- dark throne
- mayhem
This is literally me, i feel ashamed of not liking music so i listen to it over and over until i like it
Crediting the Rudy Ayoub Acting School, I see you're a man of culture as well ^^
i got into black metal literally a week ago today and im so obsessed it was the freezing moon that kickstarted everything
I got into black metal and started searching for good bands. I live in finland and there's like 70+ bands here alone. I'm gonna be retired and there's still gonna be bands I havent listened. You always discover something new...
The way I got into black metal was a few months ago. I was on Twitter and randomly came upon a page called Gandlfr the White. Its a cool page about TTRPG's and Paganism. I read some comments on his tweets. The people kept calling him "Varg" and "Varg Vikernes". I looked up Varg Vikernes and saw Burzum and Mayhem. I got completly caught up in the history of everything and then ultimately fell in love with the music, and then many Black Metal bands.
burzum - filosofem - this is an album where I fall asleep when I have a bad day or want to relax and surprisingly wake up refreshed - seriously
that's so truly man
i remember that day when i heard about woods of ypres-against the seasons and my life changed immediately
Funny things that I get into Black Metal through Folk/Doom Metal and Post rock. I don't think anyone have the same path like me though.
