Black Metal newcomer

[TheRaven760]

At last years Ozzfest I saw my first black metal band at a live concert, Cthonic, which is where my interest in black metal was first peaked. I was later on invited to go see a Dimmu Borgir headlining show, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I was wondering if there were any other good Black metal bands out there,. If someone could give me a name I'll gladly look into it.

Emperor, Watain,and Wolves in the Throne Room are my personal favorites.

I second all of these bands, and would add:
Satyricon
Immortal
(old) Mayhem
Dissection
Ominous Grief
Taake
Abigor
Windir
...And Oceans
(old) Samael (new Samael is good, but it's industrial)
Burzum
Diabolical Masquerade
Arcturus (newer stuff is a bit more avant-garde)
Sigh (except for Gallows Gallery)
Peste Noire
Marduk

If you want some viking type stuff, try Borknagar, Enslaved, and Bathory

[Dark_Metal_Angel]

There is also Gorgoroth,  Nattefrost, Bloodthorn, Slagmaur, Isengard. just a few of many Black Metal bands!

My favorites are Emperor, Bathory, and old Mayhem. they've already been mentioned but those are my favorites. I don't mind some Dimmu but I don't listen to them that often really.

if you're going to check out ...and oceans though make sure you check out the old stuff. the new stuff is like cock rock or some shit.

[THEBURNED]

i triple suggest diabolical masquerade though, if you like chthonic.

very theatrical. somewhat similar to chthonic, but a lot better.

Cock rock? More like industrial/electronic. I don't know why so many bands tend to do this (looking at Burzum, Ulver, Samael etc here).

While I also need to recommend:

Waitain
1349
Thyrane
Thy Primordial
and Summoning

What have you thought thus far?

[Creator_1]

I think jimbob pretty much covered it, I emphasize 1349 and their CD Hellfire, I love it I love it!
I didn't see Dark Funeral or Naglfar in his list, check it dude!  But there's plenty of underground Black Metal, you gotta just look for it.

You didn't see Dark Funeral because I personally dislike them. Naglfar is good though

Bummer, I really like Dark Funeral.  Why don't you like them?

They just tend to over do it and focus on the image more than the music imo.

I think Dark Funeral do dwell more than is necessary, but I still enjoy their music.

If you liked Chthonic and Dimmu Borgir, then I'll recommend some pretty highly symphonic/melodic bm.

Ceremonial Castings
Alghazanth
Dragonlord
Traumatic Voyage
Radigost
