Great video! Aara, Craft, Darkspace, Deathspell Omega, Evilfeast, Faidra, Midnight Odyssey, Stormkeep, Vehemence and Warmoon Lord some fantastic modern black metal bands too.
Human Serpent Peste Noire Deathspell Omega (even though they formed in 1998 their full lengths for the 21st century is substantial for black metal ) Ungfell Sühnopfer Forteresse Véhémence Pensees Nocturnes Spektr Azelisassath Kriegsmaschine Cénotaphe a few that come to mind
Grima is the GOAT. Gleb and Max Sysoev are brothers and the geniuses behind Grima, Second to Sun, and Ultar. Gleb’s vocals are absolutely incredible, he’s probably my favorite black metal vocalist. Seriously listen to them, please. Tales of the Enchanted Woods, Will of the Primordial, and Rotting Garden are all phenomenal albums. Frostbitten isn't quite as strong, but still has a couple really good tracks.
Grima is something you should dive into. It’s a special kind of thing. Nice production (which you might not like) but, great cold and ethereal vibes with trancey melodies. Very catchy and atmospheric.
Not sure why I feel that you're like the best metalhead friend I never had. Even I feel nostalgic in most of your videos. I wish I was in Germany to hang out with you. Keep rockin', Farvann \m/
I' d have Afsky, None, Thy Light, Los males del mundo and Mephorash on my personal top ten. There are many bands I didn't know on that list so gotta check them out. Well deserved silver medal, man! Congratulations!
@@mikeycfc4638 i missed fen unfortunately, i caught the wrong train from gateshead and ended up arriving at the venue just as they finished 🤣 and the vocalist for ellende really knows how to hype and audience he was incredible, got some amazing pictures of him too.
@@Escar2000 ah man that’s really unlucky. Fen were surprisingly great as I’m not big on their albums besides the newest one. And yeah I agree his crowd interaction, while subtle, was great. Wasn’t too impressed by Harakiri unfortunately, wasn’t a fan of the vocalist having his back to the audience and standing off the stage for most of it. I get it’s for theatrical reasons but what can you do. Very odd when he jumped into the crowd, finished the last song and immediately fucked off out the front door as if he’d left his oven on. I did manage to speak to their main man and got a pick from him, spoke to an Ellende guitarist too. Stood by the barrier in front of the stage for a while after cos I didn’t wanna leave
@@mikeycfc4638 yeah was very strange when he jumped in hahahah he pushed me out of the way and fucked off 🤣 finished early too wasnt very pleased but still a good time, harakiris guitarists are chill though hahahah
Happy that Grima made it to the list…. They are fucking awesome, saw them in Hamburg last year together with Kanonenfieber…. Awesome music and stage presence. They played with 3 guitars and no bass, that was crazy to see… Frank, gib denen echt mal ne Chance. Ist wirklich ne geile Band ;)
I got to see Spectral Wound in June, the show was incredible. I also saw Hellripper from the honourable mentions list last month, the crowd was mental 😊
I am actually pissed that NONE didn't get onto this list. Frucking amazing band. Also, this was a cool video, but some more detail on each of the bands would have been nicer. Although, this is your channel and everything is completely up to you, that would have been a good edition. Still, a very good video, as always!
Good to see some familiar names ! You got no problem with showing GOATMOON and PESTE NOIR ? Went to see Grima live ...was a great show ! Frosbitten is really enjoyable with no pauses ! Spectal Wound also is a very good listen overall ! Cheers БРАТ !
Great list. There are several bands listed that I love (Grima, Uada, Gaerea, Der weg einer Freiheit) and glad your audience knows great black metal when they hear it.
As an Austrian, it fills me with pride to see Harakiri For The Sky in the list and Ellende even at number 3! Especially when you consider that Ellende is a one-man band. He also paints the album covers himself!
3. Wolves in the Throne Room 4. I ( only a project and not a real band, but still its awsome) 5. Lifelover 6. Valhexen 7.Urfaust 8.Leichenzug 9.Gaahls Wyrd 10.Shining damn its quite hard, most bands i listen to started in the 90th
My favorites are probably these: Ellende, The Ruins Of Beverast, Farsot, A Forest of Stars, Aquilus, Spectral Lore, Shylmagoghnar, Horn, Eïs, Woods Of Desolation, Heretoir, None, Enisum I love these bands so much, and they are all extremely talented and amazing musicians ^^
Honestly I'm leaning more in to the atmospheric/melodic side of modern black metal, it was a bit nice to find a bunch of my favorite bands in that list, but the best thing is that now I have another bunch of new bands to listen, thanks Farvann!
My favorite black metal bands are Mist of Misery, Burshtyn, Lamp of Murmuur, Khold/Tulus, Mephorash, Wolves in the Throne Room, Lifelover, Pure Wrath and many more
Great picks! I would add the following (just my personal opinion after all): Tsjuder, Wayfarer, Agalloch, Winterfylleth, Watain, Imperialist, Blut aus Nord, Saor, Wolves in the Throne Room, Panopticon, Nightbringer, Deathspell Omega (in spite of the controversy surrounding their vocalist Mikko Aspa), Thantifaxath, Imperial Triumphant, Alcest, Amesoeurs, Les Discrets, Neo Inferno 262, Abduction, Gehinnom, Miserere Luminis, Harakiri for the Sky... The list goes on.
This is an amazing list and full of a lot of my modern era favourites. I'll have some catching up to do on some of the others as well so thanks in advance for that!
Bro, I really recommend you "Second to sun", band from saint-petersburg. vocalist and bassist from grima play at second to sun too. Sorry about my english)
Here are some I like: Autumn Nostalgie, Faidra, Sickle of Dust, Minenwerfer, 1914, Firienholt, Order of Nosferat, Ethereal Shroud, Marrasmieli, Together to the Stars, Caladan Brood, Emyn Muil, Belore or Can Baard
Interesting list for sure. Will go for Fluisteraars, Wolves In the Throne Room, Panopticon, Oranssi Pazuzu, Misthyrming, Ultha, Afsky, Krallice, Mgla and Ash Borer
I'm surprised Whoredom Rife hasn't made it, incredible band that really capture the grandeur of mountainous landscapes without going overboard and keeping that heavy darkness imo. Regardless some of the bands in here that I've never heard of sound amazing and so this is a fantastic list for checking new bands out. Thanks Farvann!
Greetings from Germany Your Ranking is very interesting, thanks that you make this. Sorry for my bad English. My Top Ten 10. Le Dernier Adieu - Nordicwinter 9. Alpenpässe - Minenwerfer 8. The Ashes of Light - Lustre 7. Stella Polaris - Goatmoon 6. Songs to Leave - Forgotten Tomb 5. Fimbulwinter - Satanic Warmaster 4. Arrival Of The Plague Bearer - Order of Nosferat 3. Summoners of the Serpents Wrath - Sarkrista 2. Silent Legs Inter Arma - Mavorim 1. Erhabenheit - Gratzug
Havukruunu are one of my favourites, I’ve been lucky enough to see them live three times in the last few years. They’re top dudes too! Lamp of Murmuur definitely make my top ten too, not just because the European touring band is Dödsrit, who also make my top ten 😂 I’m going to Fortress Festival in Scarborough UK next June so I’ll be ticking a lot of bands off those lists! Der Weg einer Freiheit, Gaerea, Mysþyrming, Wolves in the Throne Room, Blackbraid, Fluisteraas, Thy Light, Ultha, Panopticon, Lamp of Murmuur (again), Dödsrit (for the first time 😁), and loads more. And there’s still a few bands to be announced!
I would have loved to see more experimental BM, as much as i loved to see Lifelover and DWEF (one of my favourite BM bands for the last 10 years) there are so much more. Enslaved, Oranssi Pazuzu, Hail Spirit Noir, Dodheimsgard (they are also one of my favourite bands) Shining, Deathspell Omega, Blut Aus Nord and so much more.
For those who like to discover "hidden gems" in BM - the band called Arnaut Pavle from Finland. Very fast, very rough and aggressive. Their song Carpet Bombing Nazareth is 1:44 of pure hell energy. Something opposite to 8 minute long atmospheric BM ballades.
Gaerea is one of my favourite bands atm, but my current favourites have been Batushka, Uada, Stormkeep, Spectral Wound, Groza, The Suns Journey Through the Night, WITR, Lamp of Murmuur and Panopticon 🤘
Thanks! I am not a BM fan (sometimes listen Immortal and Satyricon). But I found some interesting staff - Uada sounds very good melodic and fast. Also Lifelover is good to hear!
Thanks for the recommendations. Havukruunu became one of my favorite, if not my favorite FInnish black metal band in the last months. Also Moonlight Sorcery is a phenomenal band. Drudkh is one of the best from the 2000, same goes with Ungfell and Ellende.
Great video! I'm genuinely surprised Forteresse didn't even make the honorable mentions list. They're easily in my top 5 of all time list. Also Kaevum not being there is surprising as Natur is one of the greatest BM albums of all time. Probably my top two BM albums are Metal Noir Quebecois from Forteresse and Natur from Kaevum. Both released after 2000.
Decent list, glad to see Spectral Wound here. I need to add three (?) more bands though: Misþyrming, especially their album Algleymi is nonstop brilliance, Harakiri for the Sky in general, (I love all their stuff) and Saor as well. Also, even if it's more experimental and changes style from album to album, but I have to mention Thy Catafalque, because it's my all time favourite and it's from my country. (+1 Wolf-Father album from Nidingr)
the lists (including the honorable mentions) is like a day cruising through bandcamp trying to pick up something new, one of the great things about black metal choices abound
I'm so thankful for you making a video like this because I always love discovering "new to me" music, and as someone who is mostly stuck in 80's proto black metal and 90's bm from many parts of the world, post-2000 bands are a huge blindspot for me. LOL Like I wasn't shocked MGLA ranked so high because they're seriously one of the best bands in the whole genre, Batushka is also an overall favorite of mine, but most of these bands are quite new for me
Great list, spectral wound is on one of my tight rotations. And I have much love for honorable mention afsky. if you're not listening already, you should be.
I saw Grima live. It was such nice concert. One of the best I ever seen. They build a big atmosphere and then crush it down with an unrelented force of blastbeat.
Passéisme, Serpent Column, Kostnatění and Thantifaxath would be some of my suggestions. Also a little surprised to not see Odz Manouk in the honorable mentions.
Nice Teitanblood shirt!!! Other Honorable Mentions in my opinion: Dumal Aosoth Sinmara Death Worship Martrod Skaphe Tarnkappe Veles Diocletian Tetragrammicide Grafvitnir Nordjevel Esoctrilihum (sp) ... and many, many more lol
Happy to See Life Lover get some love. Begrime Exemious for my 2000's Bethelehm was another great band that i dont hear often from others but 90's band still active i think.
Grima is not the LOTR reference. I've been at their show and asked one of the founding members about the name, he said it's their original idea and it's just a coincidence, but they respect LOTR. Seems like they didn't even know about Grima Wormtongue existing when they came up with that name.
Great list, but I think that "Sworn" from Norway would deserve a place in the ranking. Their recent albums are great, the last one "A Journey told through fire" is a blast.☺ Oh, and I would replace "Der Weg einer Freiheit" with "Imperium Dekadenz" because the latter creates one of the best melancholic, somber atmosphere of the whole scene. Their album "Dis Manibus" is hard to forget...
Some great recommendations in the list. Also shoutout to Gaerea. They're great. For Uada, the first album is a masterpiece and the following albums are fine but nearly on the level of the first.
Yeah I saw the Boris video where he said he watched Djevel with Fenriz, I was totally jealous 😆 I didn't know that about Lykanthrope being live singer with Krzystof, just saw them a few weeks ago too it was awesome 🤘🤘
I revisited the first Batushka album the other day and it still absolutely slays. I'm still banging the "real Batushka" drum.
💯
Litourgiya is indeed a masterpiece.
Litourgiya is an absolute masterpiece and as you should! Bang that drum
Great album, cringe band
@@herkusmontas Please elaborate on the cringe part
Great video!
Aara, Craft, Darkspace, Deathspell Omega, Evilfeast, Faidra, Midnight Odyssey, Stormkeep, Vehemence and Warmoon Lord some fantastic modern black metal bands too.
Deathspell doesn`t count ;) Founded in 1998 , so øldskøøl 😁
Ever heard of Asagraum?
Faidra and Stormkeep rocks!
@burningpentagram666 oooh, didn't know that. Thanks for letting me know.
@@burningpentagram666 that band is a snooze fest
I'm glad Harakiri for the Sky made it to the honorable mentions. My absolute favorite band of all time!
Same! One of the first black metal bands that caught my interest.
That's really gay
Psychonaut 4 (a band in honorable mention) made a song with harakiri for the sky, the name is fiqrebi mtsukhrisa
Human Serpent
Peste Noire
Deathspell Omega (even though they formed in 1998 their full lengths for the 21st century is substantial for black metal )
Ungfell
Sühnopfer
Forteresse
Véhémence
Pensees Nocturnes
Spektr
Azelisassath
Kriegsmaschine
Cénotaphe
a few that come to mind
Dude, i love your Videos. Keep going and maybe make another ice Berg ;)
Kriegsmachine but not Mgla? Typical Wyatt lol
Hell yeah Suhnopfer
@@Syko1985 Dude Mgla was in the video, that's probably why he didn't write it here
@@themanonguitar3398 it's his own list, and he listed bands that are in the video anyway, so that logic doesn't hold up.
Grima is the GOAT. Gleb and Max Sysoev are brothers and the geniuses behind Grima, Second to Sun, and Ultar.
Gleb’s vocals are absolutely incredible, he’s probably my favorite black metal vocalist. Seriously listen to them, please. Tales of the Enchanted Woods, Will of the Primordial, and Rotting Garden are all phenomenal albums. Frostbitten isn't quite as strong, but still has a couple really good tracks.
Saw them once live, one of the best Shows i ever was
FUCKING TRUE .saw them live two Times already,Gleb might be the best black Metal Singer I know.🤘
Second to sun is shit! I've been to their consert and it was awful
@@Jonas-du9cc Absolutely agree, they're rly good
Ultar is awesome
I've seen Gaerea and Grima on a festival... it was so fucking insane I cannot even describe it with words
Gaerea are from Portugal, they are okay, you should listen to Gandur though, they are awesome, from PT as well :D
Grima is something you should dive into. It’s a special kind of thing. Nice production (which you might not like) but, great cold and ethereal vibes with trancey melodies. Very catchy and atmospheric.
Best album to try first?
@@gavinr4214 literally any of the 5 they have, but probably the first one is more of a demo-record compared to what they pulled later
Not sure why I feel that you're like the best metalhead friend I never had. Even I feel nostalgic in most of your videos. I wish I was in Germany to hang out with you. Keep rockin', Farvann \m/
I' d have Afsky, None, Thy Light, Los males del mundo and Mephorash on my personal top ten. There are many bands I didn't know on that list so gotta check them out. Well deserved silver medal, man! Congratulations!
Happiest to see Ellende on the list. Recently saw them live in Newcastle. Really hope they come back. Absolutely amazing stuff
Same here, that newcastle show was incredible.
@@Escar2000 Ellende stood out for me. Their vocalist pointed at me like 4 times so that was great 😂 Fen were very impressive too

Their other project, Second To Sun, is so much better (for me).
Glückwunsch zu 100.000 subs !! Geiler Kanal , immer coole videos, cooler Tüp !!
I got to see Spectral Wound in June, the show was incredible. I also saw Hellripper from the honourable mentions list last month, the crowd was mental 😊
at Nottingham? Was cool to see them in a pub.
@@Tom_- at London’s Black Heart :)
Next time Minenwerfer, Sale Freux, Skyforest, and Thy Light will make the list. Incredible bands
Bro Alpenpässe by Minenwerfer is such a great pick.
Cant go wrong with Thy Light
Feuerwalze was so good, def in my top 3 albums of 2023
Man, I fucking love Thy Light
Another one for you guys to check out if you haven't already is Imperium Dekadenz. Big time sleeper
I like these lists. Broadens my perspective. I know some nice bands from your channel, and this is one of the reasons I am subscribed.
I expected to see Lustre, Midnight Odyssey, Eldamar, Путь here, so I’m waiting for a video about the best atmospheric black metal!
No kidding... Lustre is legit. He legitimately makes some of the most beautiful music I've heard
Happy to see Ellende hit #3, they are an outstanding DSBM/atmospheric black metal band especially live.
@@Farvann Listen we all know Durbatuluk earned #2 legitimately and honestly, you're too humble Farvann.
Trhä and Sadness must be mentioned as well!!
Sadness got me through the worst year of my life. I owe Damian my life. I hope on day I can tell him.
I am actually pissed that NONE didn't get onto this list. Frucking amazing band.
Also, this was a cool video, but some more detail on each of the bands would have been nicer. Although, this is your channel and everything is completely up to you, that would have been a good edition. Still, a very good video, as always!
None is a one Man Project!
@@BanselHanselCorrect me if I'm wrong, but I don't think NONE is a one man project
what do you mean “none”? he just listed 18
Good to see some familiar names ! You got no problem with showing GOATMOON and PESTE NOIR ? Went to see Grima live ...was a great show ! Frosbitten is really enjoyable with no pauses ! Spectal Wound also is a very good listen overall ! Cheers БРАТ !
Great list. There are several bands listed that I love (Grima, Uada, Gaerea, Der weg einer Freiheit) and glad your audience knows great black metal when they hear it.
Grima and Akhlys are actually my two fav black Metal Bands.Also it's a very good list,lot of really good bands.🤘
WHAT? THEY ARE NOT FROM NORWAY?
Goodbye!
40 year old virgins
Melinöe is an absolutely unhinged album. Amazing
Sühnopfer, Coldworld, Evilfeast, and Reverorum ib Malacht, those 2000s black metal bands are unmatchable.
coldworld is so crazy good
Reverorum Ib Malacht is arguably the most original sounding black metal band going at the moment
Coldworld is so outside what i normally like in black metal, but melancolie 2 is a brilliant album
Coldworld!!!!
My exact thoughts on them as well. only discovered them by sheer luck
As an Austrian, it fills me with pride to see Harakiri For The Sky in the list and Ellende even at number 3! Especially when you consider that Ellende is a one-man band. He also paints the album covers himself!
that man, lukas, is truly a special artist - the music and his paintings go so well together. i hope to see them live in my country one day
Great video. Love finding new stuff
3. Wolves in the Throne Room
4. I ( only a project and not a real band, but still its awsome)
5. Lifelover
6. Valhexen
7.Urfaust
8.Leichenzug
9.Gaahls Wyrd
10.Shining
damn its quite hard, most bands i listen to started in the 90th
Shining formed in 1996
Saw Batushka and Spectral Wound live this year and they were both fantastic. Well earned positions... if only mgła would tour in the UK 😢
Hahahaha
I saw mgla and batushka within 2 months of each other here in the Netherlands a year ago, both fantastic bands and atmosphere
My favorites are probably these: Ellende, The Ruins Of Beverast, Farsot, A Forest of Stars, Aquilus, Spectral Lore, Shylmagoghnar, Horn, Eïs, Woods Of Desolation, Heretoir, None, Enisum
I love these bands so much, and they are all extremely talented and amazing musicians ^^
Aquilus is top 3 black metal acts for me, it just feels so grand
As a Melbournian I got to see Aquilus back in August. They are so under appreciated in Australia, it pains me. They were phenomenal live.
You gotta check out auðn, so good
Woods of Desolations is one of my favorite bm bands.
@@entityentropic214 i live in sydney but god am i jealous. ill have to come down eventually to see him
4:23 Took me some time to realise that "Awowa" is actually "Aurora". Great video :)
Dude, yes! These are all on point and couldn't agree more
Congrats on 100k

Great picks!
I would add the following (just my personal opinion after all): Tsjuder, Wayfarer, Agalloch, Winterfylleth, Watain, Imperialist, Blut aus Nord, Saor, Wolves in the Throne Room, Panopticon, Nightbringer, Deathspell Omega (in spite of the controversy surrounding their vocalist Mikko Aspa), Thantifaxath, Imperial Triumphant, Alcest, Amesoeurs, Les Discrets, Neo Inferno 262, Abduction, Gehinnom, Miserere Luminis, Harakiri for the Sky...

so happy to see der weg einer freiheit here!! their entire discography is amazing
Bro, I really recommend you "Second to sun", band from saint-petersburg. vocalist and bassist from grima play at second to sun too. Sorry about my english)
Here are some I like: Autumn Nostalgie, Faidra, Sickle of Dust, Minenwerfer, 1914, Firienholt, Order of Nosferat, Ethereal Shroud, Marrasmieli, Together to the Stars, Caladan Brood, Emyn Muil, Belore or Can Baard
Interesting list for sure. Will go for Fluisteraars, Wolves In the Throne Room, Panopticon, Oranssi Pazuzu, Misthyrming, Ultha, Afsky, Krallice, Mgla and Ash Borer
Absolutely reccomend Wiegedood, insane black metal from Belgium!
Very proud to see gaerea on this list! Big hug from Portugal
Wow. A whole video on the topic “What do you think about this and that band”?! 🤯You really know your audience. ;D Great video!
I'm surprised Whoredom Rife hasn't made it, incredible band that really capture the grandeur of mountainous landscapes without going overboard and keeping that heavy darkness imo. Regardless some of the bands in here that I've never heard of sound amazing and so this is a fantastic list for checking new bands out. Thanks Farvann!
Nah, whoredom rife is boring

Havukruunu are one of my favourites, I’ve been lucky enough to see them live three times in the last few years. They’re top dudes too! Lamp of Murmuur definitely make my top ten too, not just because the European touring band is Dödsrit, who also make my top ten 😂 I’m going to Fortress Festival in Scarborough UK next June so I’ll be ticking a lot of bands off those lists! Der Weg einer Freiheit, Gaerea, Mysþyrming, Wolves in the Throne Room, Blackbraid, Fluisteraas, Thy Light, Ultha, Panopticon, Lamp of Murmuur (again), Dödsrit (for the first time 😁), and loads more. And there’s still a few bands to be announced!
Lucky indeed!! They’ll never come to California lol so I’m jealous
I would have loved to see more experimental BM, as much as i loved to see Lifelover and DWEF (one of my favourite BM bands for the last 10 years) there are so much more. Enslaved, Oranssi Pazuzu, Hail Spirit Noir, Dodheimsgard (they are also one of my favourite bands) Shining, Deathspell Omega, Blut Aus Nord and so much more.
Thanks to the Roadburn, i'm a Oranssi Pazuzu's fan too
For those who like to discover "hidden gems" in BM - the band called Arnaut Pavle from Finland. Very fast, very rough and aggressive. Their song Carpet Bombing Nazareth is 1:44 of pure hell energy. Something opposite to 8 minute long atmospheric BM ballades.
You sir earn my respect for the Teitanblood shirt alone. Hands down my favorite band ever, and I like all genres of music in general.
Gaerea is one of my favourite bands atm, but my current favourites have been Batushka, Uada, Stormkeep, Spectral Wound, Groza, The Suns Journey Through the Night, WITR, Lamp of Murmuur and Panopticon 🤘
Thanks! I am not a BM fan (sometimes listen Immortal and Satyricon). But I found some interesting staff - Uada sounds very good melodic and fast. Also Lifelover is good to hear!
Thanks for the recommendations. Havukruunu became one of my favorite, if not my favorite FInnish black metal band in the last months. Also Moonlight Sorcery is a phenomenal band. Drudkh is one of the best from the 2000, same goes with Ungfell and Ellende.
Great video! I'm genuinely surprised Forteresse didn't even make the honorable mentions list. They're easily in my top 5 of all time list. Also Kaevum not being there is surprising as Natur is one of the greatest BM albums of all time. Probably my top two BM albums are Metal Noir Quebecois from Forteresse and Natur from Kaevum. Both released after 2000.
Man of good taste
Decent list, glad to see Spectral Wound here. I need to add three (?) more bands though: Misþyrming, especially their album Algleymi is nonstop brilliance, Harakiri for the Sky in general, (I love all their stuff) and Saor as well. Also, even if it's more experimental and changes style from album to album, but I have to mention Thy Catafalque, because it's my all time favourite and it's from my country. (+1 Wolf-Father album from Nidingr)
Saor is an absolute gem, they're the type of band I'd recommend to anyone regardless of wether they're metalheads or not.
thats a whole lot of crap
Very happy to see Sale Freux and Pensees Nocturnes in the honorable mentions... Fuckin great content man
Congrats for 100k subs
glad to see lifelover on the list, they are amazing.
I am a bit surprised Walknut is not included in the list
I highly recommend you to check out their album “Graveforests and Their Shadows”
the lists (including the honorable mentions) is like a day cruising through bandcamp trying to pick up something new, one of the great things about black metal choices abound
Furia, Massemord (Pol) and 1914 :) great list btw
I'm surprised that Coldworld is not even mention at all, and Lifelover is in the last place, that's the 2 of my favorite bands.
Yeah. This is because we all do not have instagram etc. I would definitely have named both.
Thank you, many new great sounding bands for me to listen to and get out of the 90s era more.
I'm so thankful for you making a video like this because I always love discovering "new to me" music, and as someone who is mostly stuck in 80's proto black metal and 90's bm from many parts of the world, post-2000 bands are a huge blindspot for me.

Great list, spectral wound is on one of my tight rotations. And I have much love for honorable mention afsky. if you're not listening already, you should be.
8:31 is there a Kanonenfieber inside joke from Farvann's part that I missed?
I fucking love your channel, Farvann 🤘🏼
I’ve been binge watching all your videos all day and learned a couple of good bands from you
I saw Grima live. It was such nice concert. One of the best I ever seen. They build a big atmosphere and then crush it down with an unrelented force of blastbeat.
Sad to see that Mork and WTTR didn’t make the cut, great bands imo - but pretty hard to top what’s on the list
Passéisme, Serpent Column, Kostnatění and Thantifaxath would be some of my suggestions. Also a little surprised to not see Odz Manouk in the honorable mentions.
Can definitely state that Passéisme and Thantifaxath are both absolutely wild in the best ways.
sznur , none , thy light , gospod , silhouette , vermilia , kævum , fosk , blood abscission , violet cold ... i think all of these bands deserve an appearance there
Nice Teitanblood shirt!!! Other Honorable Mentions in my opinion:
Dumal
Aosoth
Sinmara
Death Worship
Martrod
Skaphe
Tarnkappe
Veles
Diocletian
Tetragrammicide
Grafvitnir
Nordjevel
Esoctrilihum (sp)
... and many, many more lol
Forgot to mention Black Cilice.
Glad Ungfell made it to your honorable mentions list. Great band, they tie in that folk element without it being cheesy.
He’ll o and greetings from Poland 🇵🇱 . Thanks Farvann r your channel
Happy to See Life Lover get some love.
Begrime Exemious for my 2000's
Bethelehm was another great band that i dont hear often from others but 90's band still active i think.
hell yeah thank you so much for including gaerea, theyre the best, i also saw them live on august, really great band
Love spectral wound! Cant wait to see them since i missed them at the last festival i was at
Liked and subbed because Der Weg Einer Freiheit was mentioned.
Mgła deserves to be in second place, cuz the best one is of course Durbatuluk...❤
Lol... hahaha
Have you heard Akhlys?!
I didn't see your videos before but when I opened it the first thing came to my mind was "whether Mgla will be in the list?" :D
Grima is not the LOTR reference. I've been at their show and asked one of the founding members about the name, he said it's their original idea and it's just a coincidence, but they respect LOTR. Seems like they didn't even know about Grima Wormtongue existing when they came up with that name.
Great list. Really like that these comments are going to be a gold mine of bands I might not have heard of. Thanks for all the recs everyone🤘
One of my best discoveries was outlaw, or nahasheol from the same guy basically, highly recommend
Great list, but I think that "Sworn" from Norway would deserve a place in the ranking. Their recent albums are great, the last one "A Journey told through fire" is a blast.☺ Oh, and I would replace "Der Weg einer Freiheit" with "Imperium Dekadenz" because the latter creates one of the best melancholic, somber atmosphere of the whole scene. Their album "Dis Manibus" is hard to forget...
It was a surprise to see that Farvann put Sleep Token as his #1 band, but I get it
you introduced me to havukrunnu and havulinnaan is one of my fav BM album too
Listening to all metal from 1990 until now my favorite bands
Grima
Wolves in throne room
Akhlys
Helleruin and Drudensang are my top 2 picks!
Some great recommendations in the list. Also shoutout to Gaerea. They're great. For Uada, the first album is a masterpiece and the following albums are fine but nearly on the level of the first.
Drudkh, Kekht Aräkh
Love Gaerea mirage is one of my favorite album if you have the chance to go seeing them live don’t miss that chance cheers from Canada 🤘🏼
It amazes me how nobody mentioned The Spirit, unfortunate they're so unpopular yet they are so amazing.
Amazing band, was at their London show and it was truly excellent
I am very surprised with this list, I was not expecting to be like this but I'm glad because it's most of what I listen to
For some reason ellende has never crossed my radar, need to get on that and give them a listen! Fun list
Try Scherben 💪👍 and the music clip for Abscheid
Glad to have found Grima and Havukruunu.
I can suggest also Akathexis and Arkthinn ;)
So Lykanthrop is the vocalist for the *real* Batyushka? I’d add Advent Sorrow & Eskapism to the list 👍🏻
That's a very good list, but ma boys are seriously missing Autumn Nostalgie
Yeah I saw the Boris video where he said he watched Djevel with Fenriz, I was totally jealous 😆 I didn't know that about Lykanthrope being live singer with Krzystof, just saw them a few weeks ago too it was awesome 🤘🤘
