10 Best Black Metal Bands of All Time (As chosen by a Christian)

Well like the title says, im going to run down the best Black Metal bands. Now, before i start, everyone who reads my blog knows that I am a Christian, and most of these bands are "evil" in a sense and have engaged in activities that are against my beliefs. However, i am solely choosing these top 10 bands for their sound and how well they hold up through time. So, without further ado , here are my top 10 best Black Metal bands of all time. 

10: Carpathian Forest 

Although they use that stupid "Rough cut" sound, I believe these guys have talent and if you can get passed that all to familiar " Recorded with a 10 dollar yape recorder" than you will find a sort of diamond in the rough with these guys.

9: Judas Iscariot

One of the only known American Black metal bands, these guys have some talent that sound like the snowy mountains of Norway

8: 1349

A truly good BM band who has not recieved nearly enough popularity (if you can call it that) as they deserve. 1349 is one of those bands who should be among the top 10 in all BM lists but sadly are looked over. 

7: Antestor 

A Norweigion Christian BM band who is loved by Christians and Satanists alike. They were even produced by Norwegian BM legends Immortal

6: Mayhem

Although I will not hear the end of it for putting these guys so far up on my list, I believe they are not the best. Sure they have been around forever and a day but they are certainly not the best. Although that does not mean these guys do not have talent, I mean what other band do you know puts their Friends Suicide picture as their album cover?

5: Old mans Child

One of the first BM bands who thought, "wow this recording with a childrens winnie the pooh recorder is kind of retarded" these guys released some amazing tracks that definatly stand the trials of time, and is easily one of the best BM bands

4: Emporer

Another band who thought Dollar store recorders to record full 60 minuete albums was stupid. These guys have not released a album for awile, but still have some of the best BM sounds out of the 100,000 BM bands out there. 

3: Watain

Had to put the kings of nasty on here. I mean these guys bury their clothes for years at a time, then wear them in order to smell like the stenches of hell. Aside from their weirdness, they are a really talented BM band

2: Gorgorath 

One of the original Norweigion BM bands, these guys have had an amazing run and their sound is as heavy as the next Band, and can easily be one of the best. 

1: Immortal

Not only my favorite BM band, they are easily the best. They have stayed true to BM genre without straying from the path. The best part about these guys is the fact that they seperated themselves from the Norweigion Church burings and other anti christian acts which still curse many BM bands to this day. They decided to put their minds to the music rather than the look and fads of BM. Hats off to these talented guys 

Well there you have it, the best BM bands of all time. Now I know i didnt include good Ol' Dark Throne, or Burzum, or Bathory or even the Originators Venom, but in all honesty, those bands all changed from BM to another genre. Dark Throne left the BM scene to be a more punk oriented band. Burzum (Varg) became more of electonic ambiant music. Bathory went the Amon Amarth way and went toward melodic viking metal, and Venom went straight to thrash heavy metal. Sure they had a major impact of the genre but they did not stay and eventually said screw it, and left their metal genre behind. 

Retro Review: Thy Art is Murder - Hate

Deathcore bands are up and down for me. Some stay the same and some totally change their style, to a point where you do not even like them anymore. With that being said, there are deathcore bands that bring back that old style from the mid 2000's. Thy Art is Murder or Thy Art as fans call them, are an Australian Deathcore band which sounds exactly like that. They are a amazing band with massive potential, and I Hope that they do not change a thing like most Deathcore bands do. Their second album "Hate" which came out 2 years ago, is a great example of how hardcore punk and Cannibal Corpse style death metal, can live in pure harmony. This album is amazing and a must own for death metal fans. Each track gets more and more intense while keeping the pace and not slowing down for anyone. The lyrics are about one thing, Hate and particularly, hate toward christians, which is bad news for me. Never the less, I still enjoyed this album and I will be listening to it again.

Score: 9/10

Heaviness: 10/10

Infant Annihilator - The Palpable Leprosy of Pollution Review

Wow, just wow. Now before i begin, everyone who reads my reviews and blogs know that im a Christian. After i was searching around for new music, i came across Infant Annihilator. A two piece band from Europe, who made it in the deathcore genre by online support. The band themselves are funny and raunchy, so needless to say, their first album is exactly like that, raunchy. The song titles are extremly offensive so the band is not for the faint of heart. The album itself is actually not that bad at all, and in my opinion, better than Rings of Saturn ( another technical deathcore band). I was impressed by the heaviness of the album. This is as heavy as it gets folks. The energy is incredible and can be seen through each song. Overall, pretty good album by little punk kids from Europe.

Heaviness: 10/10

Score: 8/10

I refuse to post album cover due to the inverted cross on it. 

Retro Review: Hate - Solarflesh review

In a extreme up and down genre like Blackened Death Metal, few acts stand out as amazing, let alone just good. Bands like Behemoth or Goatwhore are the leaders in the genre. Then theres the underground stuff that has about 1 in every 100 that are good. That good one is Hate. They have been around for quite some time and have gained a small but significant following. Their most recent album Solarflesh, which was released in 2012, was an amazing album. I have rarely been able to listen to full death metal album without getting bored, but this album left me wanting more. Each song is unique in its own, and while not satanic like most black/death bands (thank God) , it feels dark and moody. I loved this album from start to finish, and if you love death metal, it is a must have. The only complaint  I have is the 3 minute intro, which was a little much for me.

Score: 9/10

Heaviness: 10/10

Those Who Fear - Death Sentence Review

Facedown Records has had some pretty good artists come through their doors. Some of which are better than others, and some are just damn amazing. Thats the case with the hardcore/metalcore act, Those Who Fear. Their previous album was a solid hit. Needless to say, their next album is even better. Death Sentence offers more intense breakdowns and positive and inspiring lyrical themes, often which deal with the struggle of life, and Faith. This record has it all, great song structure and beats, all combined with a good sense of fulfillment. Death sentence is a even more solid album then the first. I highly recommend you go get this album, and please, support the band and purchase one of their awesome shirts.

Heaviness: 7/10

Score: 9.5/10

Fallujah - The Flesh Prevails Review

Never have Beautiful and Death Metal been used in the same sentence, but congratulations on reading this review because that perfectly describes Bay Areas "Fallujah's" new album. The album is slam packed with symphonic melodies and intense death metal vocals and blast beats. While Fallujah is proving to be one of the top Death Metal acts of the decade, I was eager to hear what they had to offer this time around. The album shows maturity while keeping to its death metal roots. Every track is as unique and fullfilling as the rest. The album is by far Fallujah's best work yet. Oddly enough it is the ONLY death metal album you could possibly go to sleep to. I highly recommend if you are a fan of death metal, you pick up this album immediately, you will not be disappointed.

The only complaint i have is that the album is very short.

Score: 9/10

Heaviness: 9/10
