Who is the ultimate black metal band?

[Taz2angel]

^ There is just as much melody in black metal as in any other style of metal, though bad production does occasionally make it hard to hear.

Immortal, Dissection, Enslaved, Mercyful fate, Sacramentum and Burzum are my favourites.

Emperor are mostly excellent even if their newer albums often come off as too arabitious for their own good.

I thought i'd create this thread mainly just to see how many black metal fans there are here.

I like many black metal banRAB((metal in general!))
But most would agree that black metal is definetly the most diverse of extreme music.

My fave is probably: Dimmu Borgir
Whays yours??

CHILDREN OF BADOOM. CANIBAL CORPSE. never heard these banRAB, my mate likes em.

Dimmue Borgir isn't black metal. Mayhem is black metal and black metal sucks. listen to real music.

Venom are widely accepted not even to be BM anyway so I'm not sure how far you can trust what he says.

And you're name's pretty cool as well, I don't suppose RainDog is a Tom Waits reference?
