Question for Black Metal fans

[TradeMarck]

im a big fan of suffocation and deicide.

Lately, I have been getting into some Black Metal banRAB like Dimmu Borgir and Old Man's Child. Some people say they are among the best Black Metal banRAB out there (though Dimmu Borgir has been sucking of late), whereas others completely bash them and label them as the ****tiest banRAB ever, next to Cradle of Filth (Yeah, CoF are awful, even I don't like them).

So clear it up for me. Any Dimmu Borgir fans here? Are they good or bad? And please don't say they suck because they sing about Satan. I am no Satanist, but I can enjoy the music without bothering about lyrics.

Thanks.

For All Tid, Storrablast (Original Verison, and Enthrone Darkness Triumphant are their best efforts

if you want other melodic black metal check out:

Dissection
Lirabonic Art
Sacramentum
Tvangeste
Apotheosis

[The Ocelot]

although both of those banRAB are great, there not black metal, there DEATH METAL!

I like Dimmu Borgir. I don't have a clue what genre they fall into, and I don't particularly care. I just like the music, in part because the singer sounRAB like a dying frog. I like the big symphonic sound in some of their songs. They aren't amazing musicians or anything, but they've got a powerful sound.

oh my mistake :laughing: ..i dont like to genre define banRAB, i just like what i like. i call it music.:hphones: but my mistake nonetheless

I think they're pretty all right. You also got listen to Satyricon, Gorgoroth, and of course Celtic Frost.

But there is a HUGE difference between the two.

Like if it was the difference between Death and Brutal Death than I'd see your point, but both styles share guitars, drums, and that's about it.

Very different styles.

I like them. They make good music, I don't care if they are popular or not.

You should listen to Emperor.

I have listened to Deicide, but I prefer a more Melodic Style of Death Metal (Amon Amarth is my favorite Death Metal band), so I am not into them much. However, Satan Spawn, Kill the Christian and Sacrificial Suicide are excellent songs.

I am into Black Metal now though. Got Emperor and Celtic Frost, ****ing awesome. \m/
