Nice. Baroness reminds me a
lot of Pelican,who, come to think of it, just released a double album this week. If anyone wants to buy me a late birthday present...
With those bands, Cambo, I'm surprised you don't know Kyuss backwards and forwards. Every album is great, but as a whole, I'd have to say the best is ...And the Circus Leaves Town.
\m/ How is it that I didn't know they did an entire Moby Dick concept album? I am speechless.

Oh hell,
Leviathan is probably their best work! Tell you what, I'll promise to familiarise myself with Kyuss if you promise to give that album a few spins before their concert!

Oh, and if the early Mastodon sound appeals to Syl or anyone else, check out NZ band Beastwars! I have this album on record, and it's thunderous:
Beastwars- Dune

I'm picky when it comes to symphonic stuff, as it's not usually my thing.
I debated with myself about posting the Immortal funpiece first. My trvv kvlt intensity level depends on the day. Sometimes it's all blacker than black grimdark, sometimes flutes and bagpipes à lá Skyforger's all-acoustic album Swordsong.
Maybe try Thyrfing for a harsher atmosphere?
Einherjer's a classic Viking/black band whose newest album Norrøn was pretty damn good.

Quite liked Mortals.
I'm off to see Crimfall/Moonsorrow (example posted earlier) to Helsinki in one and a half weeks. The FennoGaelfest consumed my budget, so let's see how I'll fare with the cheapest nightbuses I could find...
Bonus: werewolf metal!

Frostheart, have you heard Panopticon? One man folk/black metal band, but quite different to what "folk metal" usually sounds like, as the folk music is drawn from Kentucky rather than the frost bitten winterlands
. Basically it's bluegrass meets Scandinavian black metal, and it's all kinds of good:
Panopticon- Capricious Miles

I live in the frostb1tten kvlt winterlands and speak the heathen tongues as well (not to mention wearing a horned helmet even in bed...) so of course I will bombard the thread with Viking metal.
The song wasn't bad, something I might listen to while walking in the brutal gelid gloom with a flashlight and ice studs strapped to the soles of my boots. I'll look up more stuff from him.
There's a new Alestorm album out by the way (best accessible via Spotify...). Better quality than the one where they traveled back in time to fight Vikings. The song "1741" has a 8-bit nintendo opening and somewhere they sang about an undead squid...
Savo metal!

And some Celtic (growlies I listened to while hiking in Ireland against a hefty rain/wind combo):

I'm picky when it comes to symphonic stuff, as it's not usually my thing. Dimmu and that other band you posted were ok, but in my mind the true (or trve
) symphonic black metal classic is Emperor's
In The Nightside Eclipse.
Emperor- I Am the Black Wizards
As for female fronted bands, here's an all-female black/sludge band, playing it as nasty and guttural as you could wish for
Mortals- View From a Tower
Good choices. I'm not much into black metal (not much since the glorious days of Venom) but Emperor "Wizards" is essential.
The Immortal song is also nice, though I prefer "A Sign for the Norse Hordes to Ride". I sa them live in 2007 at a festival. The sound was very disappointing, like an ipod in a cookie jar.
Taake is another (controversal) black metal band I used to like.

I consider myself open minded, but I could not see anything of value in the Wizard song. I guess I'm not into the "heavy stuff."
This is about as heavy as I go:

Yusss love, love, LOVE King Crimson. Favourite albums are Discipline, Three of a Perfect Pair, Lark's Tongues in Aspic, and of course Court of the Crimson King.
Black metal surely isn't for everyone Z, even the open minded
. There's quite a range of stuff here though, the stuff I posted in response to Syl is generally more accessible, so feel free to cast that open mind elsewhere over the thread. I'm of the opinion there's metal everyone can enjoy, at the very least most people can get down with Iron Maiden.

The Moonsorrow concert became wild enough to grant me my first drenched in beer experience. Having sticky malts all over my hair failed being so pleasant, though. I wonder what I get sloshed upon with next Friday...
They began with one of their half an hour long epics:

This was when people got wild and spillage may have occurred. One guy near me brandished a looong drinking horn. Overcompensation?

This classic seems to be the audience's favorite:

I should listen to more Type O Negative, loved the "Everything Dies" song you posted in the Depressive thread.
Neurosis kick ass! I especially like
Through Silver in Blood. Have you heard ISIS? They were heavily influenced by Neurosis, but incorporate even more post-rock flavour, a la Godspeed You! Black Emperor or Explosions in the Sky.
ISIS- The Beginning and the End
Do you have any more punk-y stuff for me? A genre I've been meaning to investigate beyond the Sex Pistols and The Clash.

Hey Cambo, there are some pearls out there. Sometime in the mid 80s I grew tired of all that pagan/true metal/what's your fucking attitude mentality of metal mand switched over to NYHC (New York hardcore) and British Oi punk.
Some old (and new) stuff I love:
NYC HC Gods:
Agnostic Front - Gotta go
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Mn1WN5yeag
Agnostic Front - Riot, riot upstart
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwsB1VP6mVs
NYC HC Übergods:
Sheer Terror - Here To Stay (Reunion gig)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEloN-_z_kA
Carnivore - Sex & Violence
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUxiEveOFVQ
Type O's front man Peter Steele (R.I.P. bro) old band. Controversial, but hard to beat. Peter died in 2010. The world lost a great musician (listen more to Type O and you'll see) but I lost a friend.
A sadly disfunct band from NYC I loved:
Deathcycle - Religion is Mind Control
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JakVPCTvbDM
So true:
Modern Life is War - Dead Ramones
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6U3vRGyE8w
Some
British Oi punk classic from the 80s
Menance - GLC
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vAa5wzbhaI
GLC stands for "Greater London Council"
The Last Resort - Violence in our Minds
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OM13p2klGOI
Not exactly punky, NOT British, but still great.
Death by Stereo - Porno Sex Drugs Lies Money And Your Local Government
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LZKHrb5d_c
(A bit like the hardcore version of Faith No More)

Listened to Venom's 'Black Metal' in the car on the way to work this morning.
So badly recorded by modern standards, but such a great album!

A new genre gradually being added to my library: crust punk. It's angry, misanthropic, nihilistic. It mixes guitar tones from sludge and broken glass vocals with speed and aggression. I likey-like.
Dystopia- Self Defeating Prophecy

does this belong here?
Scraping Foetus Off the Wheel
Clothes Hoist
Cold Day In Hell
Theme from Pigdom Come
Pigswill
Anything!
listen to
Anything! first. I still sing it in the shower. changing one word because it bothers Julie.

New discovery. Going to see these fellows in Helsinki next week. Raw-sounding pagan black, excellent for the onset of the polar gloom.

Probably the most relentless and extreme album of recent times. They really wanted to make a statement with this one, having the audacity to call their death metal album
Death and in their promo material claiming it would "correct the misconception that death metal is music." They backed up their bragging with one hell of a ferocious release.
Teitanblood- Burning in Damnation Fires

My Dying Bride
