Who is the ultimate black metal band?

[Little Miss Chatterbox]

burzum r a godd black metal band

[B1U3 BOY]

For your information most modern black metal banRAB do have a extreme amount of melody.
It's kind of half of what black metal is.
Whether it's Guitar solos,KeyboarRAB, flutes,String arrangements or a good ole symphony in the mix.
(Even Mayhem have melodies!!!)lol :band:

[What It Do Homiez?]

yes, "lepelin" lyrics indeed...

[dang. its megan]

mostly death metal here, not black metal.

[wwe diva Maria]

Its not Black Metal than. sorta like old emo to new emo. Dimmu Borgir are Death Metal. Venom is Black Metal.
Burzum is Black Metal

[blahh :P]

Burzum are melodic as!!
What the hell are you talking about Black metal's all about melody, brutality and normaly dark, or gothic themes.
Even Venom had that stuff. :yikes:

[hello goodbye]

You are not listening to Black Metal than if it had melody.

Venom's album "Black Metal" contained nothing that could be considered melody.

Dimmu Borigr doesn't play inverted power chorRAB therefore = not Black Metal.

face it.

[Rebecca A]

Yeah, I thought Dimmu Borgir were death metal too.
So many sub-genres though it gets me confused.
Rise Against, by "inverted" power chorRAB do you mean the minor scale chorRAB, not the majors?

[Summmer.]

dimmu borgir,type 0 negative, mayhem, and coil

[Mr.RetroStar]

Opeth and Deicide are pretty black metal to me, but i see what you mean with MA and CC.
