Alright so I've listened to quite a lot of that list Batty, and these are the highlights for me so far:
- Deathcrush is easily the best album I've heard so far, really really like that one. "Chainsaw Guts****" is the most intense and brutal song I've ever heard.
- I.N.R.I. by Sarcó***o is a close second. While I sincerely think Cainsaw Guts**** is the single most intense song ever, I.N.R.I. takes the cake on the most intense album ever. Those beastly death growls are so ****ing sick.
- All of Bathory's first three albums are great. Now that I'm more exposed to what kind of black metal I like, these albums have kind of dropped out of favor for me, but they just don't have many flaws at all. They've got that perfect balance of lo-fi for the atmosphere, but it doesn't sound ****ty, it sounds really atmospheric, and those ambient tracks are really spooky. Also the sampling is stellar, like for the opening on "Call from the Grave" with the sounds of graves/tombs moving. I almost didn't notice that at first, but that's really cool.
- Hellhammer is really a hit or miss for me, though they have some good riffs.
- I just started listening to December Moon by Morbid and I'm still going through it, but it's pretty good. Got to love those beastly growls on "From the Dark."
