That's death metal though, not black metal.
Another band of which I liked the music though the leader had some pretty dodgy ideas. Thank goodness that David Vincent left, Trey is the real reason I listened to that band anyway: he's a great guitarist.
Saw MA live a few times, quite OK. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Johnny - no, not really like Marilyn Manson - at least he admits that he's just putting up a freak show

Ooooh, you like Samael??? That's great! One of the few bands I actually still listen to on occasion - they've a quite original sound.
I've seen them live twice, great band! So cool you know them!
I even have two shirts of that band from ages back, I think they are still at my mother's place. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

I'm probarbly totally off here, but Danzig wouldn't be Black Metal?
If that's the case, then that's the only black metal band I listen to

I listen to Lord Belial & Bathory
Do they Count?

Dramnek_Ulk ... hmmm ive heard lord belial, another swedish band, i own one album, nothing great in my opinion.... dark funeral is better then (i own lord belial's - angelgrinder...)

and melusine, why did you stop listening to black metal, and what's wrong with the spelling in my sig?... anyway, never thought this topic would be such a Emperor discussion, and btw, how could i forget Emperor in my topic?... they sure deserve a note.... although they don't exsist anymore ....

their last album is surely a great piece......

hail black metal! as they say....

people's tastes in music change, simple as that

as for your sig, it's "religious", not "relegeous" [img]smile.gif[/img]

And it's beliefs, not believes.
Let's not go into correct usage of so-called medieval English because it'd be a lifetime job

Dramnek, I'd say those "count", yeah. [img]smile.gif[/img]

As for why I don't listen to it much any more, well, on occasion I still do. Just listening to it every day would probably drive me mad (with boredom, most likely). I grew tired of the whole ting for a bit, the whole scene surrounding the music. I have listened to different genres all along (though mostly either metal or atmospheric or gothic-like genres) and now I happen not to listen to black metal a whole lot anymore. These days about 70% of the music I listen to is classical, 15% is indie/gothic/rock (The Mission, Goldfrapp, The Breath Of Life, Muse, The Tea Party, Switchblade Symphony, London After Midnight...) and 15% is dark wave/ambient etc (Raison D'être, Arcana, Sanctum, Ildfrost, Pazuzu, Brighter Death Now, Wongraven...). Oh hang on, fit in a few percents of stuff like Angizia, Lacuna Coil and Nightwish in there as well!

It's not that I don't still appreciate the genius of a select few black metal albums (I still really like Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse, Enslaved - Frost, Burzum - Burzum/Aske, Cradle Of Filth - Vempire, Dimmu Borgir - Stormblåst, Darkthrone, Marduk, Samael, Satyricon's Shadowthrone, Dark Funeral's first) but I just don't feel the need to listen to much of it.

[lethoso]

might try some of the other bands mentioned tho.....
