All of their other albums suck.

Burzum is interesting...


I second the first Emperor album! I just started getting back into black metal thanks to the nightly black metal show on Sirius. As a teenager, I was quite fond of the "first wave" bands, Mercyful Fate, Venom, Possessed etc. Although I wouldn't put the suck ratio at 99.9%, most of it is pretty bad. Satyricon, Burzum, Mayhem, Amon Amarth, and Satanic Warmaster certainly have their moments of greatness. I don't know if any, or all, of these bands qualify as "black metal" though.

A) It's usually one riff that isn't interesting whatsoever
B) It sounds so bad that I can't not be distracted by the lack of low end
C) They look like assholes

Black Metal, you are officially stupid

Ways that black Metal could be interesting:

A) Write songs with two parts
B) Let someone who knows what they're doing record you because you obviously have no idea as to what a record should sound like
C) Get rid of that make-up because you look like clowns that have unsteady hands


You really should listen to Ulver. Very different from most black metal. Some of their newer stuff is almost ambient. Their early material is more like traditional BM, but they have really progressed since then.

Question:

Does Sirius satellite radio utilize catchy DJ-name jingle sweepers between songs like they do on broadcast commercial radio? Because that'd be so totally fucking awesome if the Black Metal show were all

"JUD-JUD-JUD-RRRRRRGGHHHHHHOOOOAAAAAAHHHHAAAAIIIIIIISATANIIIEEE-CHUGGA-CHUGGA-CHUGGA-DOODLEEDOO-AAAAIIII"

[sung] "KEN NORTON! SIRIUS SAT-TEL-IIIIIIITE!!"

"JUD-JUD-JUD-REENERREENERREENER-AAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUGGGHHHH!!"
