Bathory - Blood Fire Death

The elder among the men looked deep into the fire
and spoke loud with pride:
"Tomorrow is a fine day to die"

Blood Fire Death is Bathory's finest hour. An album of relentlessly epic thrashy black metal dripping with Norse paganism, this album is widely considered the birth of the Viking Metal genre. It's a metal essential.

Notes:

You Baka Gaijins didn't think I turned into a weeaboo did you? I still hate animes so that excludes me from being a weeaboo.

Anyway, Monarque re-released the Ad Nauseam demo with a three new tracks and this shit is awesome! What did you expect, Monarque from the Quebecois scene after all.

Pure Hateful Black Metal with a bunch of melodies thrown in the mix.

Deathspell Omega - Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice

"If you seek His monument, look around you."

The mystic Latin of the title, the grotesque artwork, the blatant Satanic themes; Deathspell Omega might appear at first glance to be another copy-cat Black Metal band, but with this album they marked themselves out from the scene. Structured like a 1970s concept double album, each 'side' opens with a prayer- to the Morningstar, of course. This serves to prepare the listener for the prog and avant-garde influences that they incorporated into their traditional Black Metal for this record, rightly recognised as one of the most important recordings in modern extreme metal. Perhaps not as good as the EP which followed, but certainly worth a listen.

Deathspell Omega - Kénôse

Deathspell Omega are one of the best Black Metal bands ever, period. They take the raw ferocity of the likes of DarkThrone, but combine it with a complexity and ambience that would unsettle even the most sooty of Norwegians. This is modern Black Metal as it should be; uncompromising, yes, but not unintelligent. The Kénôse EP is an appendix to the preceding album, Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice, but is in many ways superior. The band show a greater control and understanding of their direction, and the avant-garde and progressive elements are more closely interwoven with the fabric of the music.
