Essential Albums - Black Metal


Festival We have been running down the essential heavy metal albums over the last couple weeks and today is time for Black Metal. This list will be the most controversial as black metal is so polarizing among its fans. There are more black metal bands in the world than any other genre of music and some think the more underground and raw the better. Personally I need a little more on the production end than three guys in the forest at midnight recording with a single track tape player.
Special thanks to Shamed, BrutalN00dle, thegauntlet, deathofthesun, and mattosaur for help with the list.
