Yeah, second wave black metal (i.e. the Norwegian black metal scene) isn't really my favorite, with the definite exception of Burzum. Takes itself far too seriously, and has a strange obsession with confusing being inaccessible with quality. But first wave BM like Bathory, Venom, and Hellhammer are pretty much the apex of aggressive metal IMO. Simple, raw, and evil as ****.
