I'm sure everyone will give you more than enough second and third wave black metal, so let me shoot you some Bathory. Best black metal band in the history of your mother.

Here's a list of black metal tracks, separated by genre and period and what have you. Such separations are imperfect, but should help you narrow down what you like more easily:

1st Wave:
Hell Hammer - Eurynomos
Venom - Black Metal
NME - Black Knight

2nd Wave:
Blasphemy - Empty Challice
Sarco***o - Black Vomit
Beherit - The Gate of Nanna
Impaled Nazarene - Soul Rape
Archgoat - Goddess of the Abyss of Graves
Order from Chaos - The Edge of Forever

3rd Wave+:

"Punk and/or NWOBHM influenced"
Barbatos - 666 Deadly Omens
Midnight - Endless Slut
Absurd - Werwolf

"War Metal"
Conqueror - Kingdom Against Kingdom
Black Witchery - Command of the Iron Baphomet
Revenge - Parasite Gallows (In Line)


I'm not a huge fan of the Norwegian black metal sound.... as you'll likely find out. Still, this list should give an idea as to the versatility of the sound in the genre.

Aww yaaah

**** yeah, Prong! We totally need a headbanging emtoticon!

Love this album, bridges the gap between NWOBHM and thrash perfectly, its a shame this Canadian metal band doesn't get more credit.

When I'm in the mood for a no holds barred thrash assault, this and Bonded By Blood are my goto albums. The riffs might not be as catchy, and the vocals aren't as "good", but this album just goes for the throat as viciously as a thrash band can without having death metal influences.

they are playing in my city on August 1st.

Thought I'd give their album Midvinterblot a whirl. Nearly fell off my chair when this one started!!
