What is the objectively best black metal album?

What is the objectively best black metal album?

Don't know but I'm positive it's not a deafheaven album

It's not the deafheaven album who's overrated, it's all the other metal albums that are underrated

The one I like the most and the contrarian opinion: Axioma ethica odini

I went through many bm phases; novice, trve, hipster, kvlt, etc., and for me it's between In the Nightside Eclipse and Dead as Dreams.
Not really a black metal album though, is it? Sounds like Opeth if their influences we more black than death, lol. If that's black metal, then so is something like To Mega Therion.

the shortest one, since it means less time listening to garbage

Seigneur Voland - Consumatum Est

looks like two idiots just standing there
what is this album cover

Its two idiots just standing there

Pretty much any album by Mayhem and Darkthrone could be argued to be the best. The genre is not even a genre, it's a musical protest of very personal nature started in a very specific environment by a select few individuals. The fact imitators and copycats continued to produce fake iterations of it just for money creating a trend in the process with the backing of major labels doesn't mean bm is said trend. If anything, it was/is against all trends, including that one. That's why most originators jumped ship the moment they saw what kinda retards were calling their bullshit "bm". Posers can never get what true bm means nor understand the difference I'm pointing out, either. It's both infuriating and funny to witness.

for me, it's mirror in darkness

Pretty much any album by Mayhem and Darkthrone

Yeah bro totally, Grand Declaration of War/Total Death is the best.

Axioma ethica odini

I prefer Ruun or Isa

The case can be made.

And don't "bro" me, you soulless piece of walking garbage.

Browsing by "Top" on RYM is useless, you can have a 5-star album with only 1 rating. If you want to see what albums people consider relevant the option "Popular" is better

Yeah, totally. And black metal is such a special kind of music that it transcends categorization/genrefication. Totally, bro.

This one. But it's very out there and eclectic, so it isn't representative of the genre as a whole.

Ildjarn or Зapeвoм Haд Пpaхoм by Forest

Post metal has destroyed archaic black metal

Great album, but I prefer Gods of War

I gave it a listen and it was good, thank you dude

This, their second one
or picrel

Forgive me for correcting you, but you did not even post the best PdH album.

RYM just gets worse and worse. First they changed the weighting system back in 2021 or so and then inventing useless sub-genres every day and now FUCKING DEAFHEAVEN is the top black metal album of all-time? What a fucking joke. Site peaked in 2019/2020 it's only been downhill ever since.

Only a retard cares about the general rating. Spend an evening "adding" accounts with similar taste a build a friends list with opinions that matter.

maybe, or maybe this

You might be right. K&I does what takes Winterkalte 3 hours in 40 minutes.

It's 2 hours

Only poseurs will disagree.
