Black Metal Help

[Nick_to_the_face]

Inspired by a recent thread, I have been trying to look into some more black metal. I already listen to Bathory, Destroyer 666, Dimmu Borgir, Dissection, and some of Immortal's stuff, but I need more.
Any suggestions??

Morbosidad, Perversor, Goatpenis, Blasphemy, Bestial Warlust, Blasphemophagher, Sarcofago, Barathrum, Revenge, Von, Satanic Warmaster, Nyogthaeblisz, Bone Awl.

Sup fellow KC bro!

Essential first wave:

Bathory (all of it's good, but it's really only black metal up to "Blood Fire Death")
Venom (Welcome To Hell, Black Metal)
Hellhammer (Demon Entrails is a comp. of everything from them)
Celtic Frost (Morbid Tales, Emperor's Return, To Mega Therion)

Essential second wave:

Mayhem (Deathcrush EP, De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas)
Burzum (Det Som Engang Var, Hvis Lyset Tar Oss, Filosofem)
Darkthrone (A Blaze In The Northern Sky, Under A Funeral Moon, Panzerfaust)
Emperor (In The Nightside Eclipse) probably my favorite black metal album from this period
Gorgoroth (First three albums: Pentagram, Antichrist, Under The Sign Of Hell)

From there, you can branch out and find a lot that you like.

Emperor
Abigail Williams
Absu
Borkanager
Leviathan
Marduk


That will keep you busy for a while.

you are bad at recommending bands for genre newbies!

It doesn't have Apocalyptic Raids, which rules.

I'd skip Burzum and Emperor.

I'm just trying to steer him in the right direction!
I.e. not what most people on here will tell him to listen to.
And all those bands rule

Well yeah, they're good, but if Jeff asked for an introduction to extreme metal I wouldn't go and tell him to listen to Anaal Nathrakh!

Why not?
I'd have loved it if someone recommended me awesome bands when I started listening to metal, would have saved me listening to a lot of shit.
Plus you could easily make the argument that Blasphemy, Sarcofago and Von are essential classic black metal which should be used to get into the genre, they just happen to be much more hateful/awesome/powerful than the boring standard Norwegian styled black metal bands people will recommend.

I was gonna include Sarcofago, but I'm more into starting people off small. Granted, I was introduced into extreme metal first, but I think I'm a rare exception!
