The best Sabbath album without a doubt is SABOTAGE.
Striborg’n
he's still not very good
Varg is gay and has AIDS.
I DEMAND BLASTINGS
picrel is somewhat on topic
Based!
Blasting
It's the logical conclusion of black metal. Naturally most won't understand it. Many will ignorantly dismiss it.
I wish Ozzy would get stabbed with a rusty knife
i like most of the stuff zoomers made go 'tiktok viral' pretending not to like stuff just because its popular is cattle behavior.
there's still a ton of good boomershit out there you guys have yet to discover. its kinda cool seeing some of these old bands get popular so late in their careers.
Great!
Artist: Darkthrone
Album: Panzerfaust

But enough about the Ultra listeners
QRD on Chuck Schuldiner?
oh shit that's the NSBM album that sounds like a Sonic the Hedgehog level

Good shit!
Yes, and they do it perfectly.

Bongman has passed away RIP
Ukrainian wheat fields and Soviet oppression themed black metal
Not listening!
Why does everyone say he died from AIDS then?
Went bald; got AIDS; died
Finist are actual trash so you aint missing much.
They're not even BM.
He gets mistaken for Lemmy
Death metal KILLS
Ok but Nokturnal Mortum and Drudkh suck too.
wrong on both counts, depending on the albums
Sounds like you're just coping. I assume you're a fan of death metal?
Are the first modern rock band and most influential band ever
Release first album to include gore on the cover en.wikipedia.org
Release first album to include occult figure on album cover (Aleister Crowley, Sgt. Peppers.)
First major rock band known for using psychedelic drugs and marijuana
Write the two first heavy metal songs (Helter Skelter, She's So Heavy)
First rock band to make Anti-Religious statements (John Lennon)
The song Helter Skelter directly inspires Charles Manson to kill 9 people
Cited as a major influence by Black Sabbath, who are commonly known as the progenitors of Metal
The Beatles are KVLT???
cause they think any death from pneumonia is AIDS.
Correct.
correct on both counts, not depending on the albums
I like one NM song ("Ukraina") but can't manage to like anything else. Maybe I'll give The Voice of Steel another go sometime soon. Drudkh I used to like but over time they just became more and more boring to me. The new album was trash.
She's So Heavy is the first doom metal riff ever recorded.
it's a meme cos people gossip that Chuck was a fag despite no concrete evidence other than "he was quite fruity" and "he regularly made music with other homosexuals"
implying death were a death metal band
harmonycentral.com
Uh oh deathbros... it's over for us isn't it? It's really over...
Says they're death metal on RYM.
what were they then

What kind of metal does JOHN CENA listen to?
>The song Helter Skelter directly inspires Charles Manson to kill 9 people
Totally debunked by the way. Read Chaos by Tom O'Neill. Manson was an MKULTRA stooge, was involved in human trafficking, creating CP and snuff films, and he and his Family killed a lot more people than what the official story says. Another good book is The Ultimate Evil by Maury Terry. It goes into Manson's involvement with the satanic Process Church of the Final Judgement, an apocalyptic death cult bent on ushering in the end of the world.
Charles Manson was a Serbian homosexual
Did anyone ask?
Big Match John is the ultimate autist
he doesn't know anything about metal right now, but give him one month, and he'd be recc'ing the most extreme, obscure, one-man bedroom BM bands from Siberia and telling us how our taste is shit
sarcasm
thanks! i know i'm missing some obvious inclusions especially when it comes to demo scene stuff, keep em coming.
not even BM
true. However, they are peak Power Metal.
Totally debunked by the way.

Why are you reading your own posts?
Hey /metal/,
Adam Kalmbach here from Jute Gyte. I'm stoked to announce my new album, Entropia, dropping [June 1, 2025] via Jeshimoth Entertainment. This one pushes the microtonal black metal chaos further—think Mitrealität but with even denser riffs, warped electronics, and some unhinged ambient interludes. It’s a 70-minute descent into existential dread, inspired by Nietzsche, Ligotti, and the usual cosmic pessimism. As always, it’s a solo effort, crafted in my Springfield, MO studio.
Check the first single, “[Single Name]” on my Bandcamp [insert link or just say “Jute Gyte Bandcamp”] next week. Pre-orders are live soon, with vinyl and CD options. Let me know what you think—hope it fucks with your head as much as it did mine.
Stay dissonant,
Adam / Jute Gyte
India and Pakistan are going to war right now and both have nukes.

War metal isn't a real genre
I didn't list any war metal did I?
I listed classic heavy metal and thrash metal songs about nuclear war
Obsolete Deterrence
there's a brutal death metal song
I don't know any of the bands you listed but just wanted to remind everyone here. War metal isn't a real subgenre
you don't know Metallica, Black Sabbath, and Megadeth?
What genre is Blasphemy?
kek
You should have listed the bands with the albums, rookie mistake. You'll learn how to post here eventually though
Also reminder to not post any music here, just the album artwork
Black metal.
Fair enough.
But do you acknowledge the existence of Atmospheric Black Metal?
they're all songs from super tourist friendly bands.
how do you not at least know the Metallica song.
Yes, what about it? There are a few good atmoshit bands in my opinion. I like Wolves in the Throne Room and Alcest.
I miss her so much :(
Next time just be sure to include the band name with the albums. Thanks again!
Where the big boi riffs at
No need to be pedantic, but Alcest is usually grouped with the "post-black" bands these days.
Riffs are for posers. Real graduated metalchads go for percussion and slams.
graduated
I want GED riffs
Oh yeah. What about Paysage d'Hiver? They're pretty cool.
Listen to Slayer.
So if you realize that there is a difference between atmoshit and just “black metal”, then why do you refuse to acknowledge the existence of war metal?
bands OWE me riffs.
this is not up for negotiation
We hate Slayer here
War is a lyrical theme which doesn't make a subgenre
Nta. I totally think war metal is a genre. It's virtually indistinguishable from bestial bm tho.
For me it's Sharon.
War metal is not defined by its lyrical themes.
Oh yeah. What about Paysage d'Hiver? They're pretty cool.
Indeed, but I only listen to them in winter and all the snow has melted!
Don't care, still not a real subgenre. Just shitty thrash or whatever
War metal is a questionable subset of Black/Death. Why not just speak of Black/Death?
this is a Simone Simons general
Based I do the same. Spring and summer are for crunchier stuff.
She has good pipes.
Epica more like Epica fail.
Simone is a 10/10 goddess babe but unfortunately Epica suck.
Why not just speak of Black/Death?
Is Behemoth war metal? Of course not.
War metal has both a clear sound and aesthetic. To deny its right to existence is just pvre ignorance.
what's the song in the vid?
youtube.com
It's pleasant enough, but the lyrics stink.
War metal has grindcore elements to it. And a lot of string squeals and palm mutes and other really fucked up unorthodox guitar tricks. It's dirty and noisy and very, very fast.
If we allow War Metal to be a full blown genre, we must do the same to dozens more. Are you willing to grant the existence of 3000 metal genres? I, for one, think we should limit ourselves to the Canonical 12 Metals.
It's dirty and noisy and very, very fast.
Also, invariably of Canadian or Australian vintage. Odd that.
War metal retard is the one posting disgusting covers, got it
Don't forget NZ and Finland.
You think that altar chick is into it?
we should limit ourselves to the Canonical 12 Metals.
Out of curiosity... name all 12.
But why limit ourselves to genre descriptors? If I'm looking for a very specific sound, why should I be bound to such broad terms for further discovery?
youtube.com
Note the stage presence
at least post on-topic titcows
Dunno, reminds me of when I banged your mom so probably
Pretty cool music!
War metal has grindcore elements to it.
Why do you faggot core kiddies always thinking everything came from your faggots scene?
Hurr durr its le punk
Hurr durr le grindr core is totally metal my guy
Hardcore was so influential to metal, cant you hear the loud drums?
Shut the fuck up already you stupid ipa drinking cucks, no one cares about your shitty whiney core shit.
Avant-garde
Black
Death
Doom
Folk
Goth
Heavy
Power
Progressive
Speed
Stoner
Thrash
Beyond fucking based.
Uh oh melty
Don't be such a spastic. Drink some water and maybe have a toke or two.
Most of these subgenres are terrible though?
If I'm looking for a very specific sound, why should I be bound to such broad terms for further discovery?
If you're looking for a very specific sound, there's probably only like 10 bands with that sound, of which 5 stink. Why not just say "I like bands that sound like the band X", instead of talking about Psychedelic Doom Grunge, or whatever.
Kill yourselves

Both are amazing.
Anyone know when the new Trhä drops?
I don't know because I don't listen to poser garbage.
we don't care about RYM flavor of the month shit
Anyone else know?
Definitely in my top 10 of the year so far, who else listened to this? Definitely recommend in lossless quality too.

Waldo, the vocalist of the group, is a South African Grey Parrot doing harsh vocals referred to by the human members as "death-squawking".
True!
LF was a fucking master at creating true sinister black art!
I don't need to pinch, I've got IBS. More like a gush. That's how I would describe Trhans.
ARE BOOMERS EVER GOING TO JUST FUCKING DIE?
WHY ARE THEY ALLOWED TO KEEP SHITTING OUT ALBUMS FOR 50 FUCKING YEARS
The craziest part of this 3-way split is that Blessed in Sin has the best song.
Thorr's Hammer was formed in winter 1994-95 in Ballard, Washington by Greg Anderson & Stephen O'Malley. Runhild Gammelsæter joined the band during her stay in the USA as a Norwegian exchange student. They were active for only six weeks during which time they played two gigs, and recorded a demo and an EP. Thorr's Hammer disbanded with Runhild's return to Oslo, Norway.
IMAGINE!
Much respect to my nsbm brothers, but this is still the funniest album cover of all time.
They definitely ran a train on her
now she kisses her cuck husband with that mouth
The TRVE Thor's Hammer. Unironically a good album.
My wife.
Anyone know what happened to Capricornus?
An announcement on his forum in 2005 stated that Capricornus was experiencing "very serious problems and it is clear he will not be in a position to do any recording for the foreseeable future. For the moment he's out of the scene and cut all contact with most people."
Yeah that one is crushing and awesome. A different flavor of evil...
Was it Capricornus who plotted to kill Varg?
I am a weird NEET who doesn't really post on Anon Babble or listen to much music since I was a teenager, but my friends took me to a metal concert and this song was fuckin awesome
youtube.com
Like, image if she came to live in your house for a couple of months, as a budding exchange student.
His records still get repressed, but he is a drug addict, making it by.
Lame, I'm definitely a Anon Babbletard who doesn't just stick to metal.
It literally could NOT end in bestial, lustful fucking for hours on end
She'd be a cock sleeve all night long, keeping you warm
And that is very empowering and progressive
you belong in r/burzum it you believe he's gay
I keep searching for a source to the claim that Varg is gay and has aids. Yet every source I find objectively proves that he is straight, intelligent, and in fine health.
wearing clown makeup is gay
Varg has never worn clown makeup. You might be confusing it with corpse paint, which is a profound artist statement.
Goth is probably the worst metal subgenre
It's either vapid pop in disguise, orchestral corset-core, or weak ass meloshit chugga riffs with cheap ass keyboards and beauty-and-the-beast vokills
the only good albums in the genre are basically death/doom

Those britbongs crack me up.
London train passenger Robin Lee was arrested on suspicion of abstracting electricity on Friday, after using a plug socket to charge his phone in a carriage.
Robin told Newsbeat: "I got on the train. There was a plughole next to the door. A community support officer said, 'Do you know you're stealing electricity?'
Jute Geet
Correct.

NSBM is allowed to be fun
His melodies he wrote for Seigneur Voland and Kristallnacht are still untouched almost three decades later.
I heard he is putting out a new Kristallnacht album soon
Smoking shatter and blasting this. It's the ultimate weed rock album in my opinion.
nice of Liz to show her off her cute 'lil titties
They broke up noooo
Maybe she'll make metal now
There are a multitude of myths surrounding this cult act. Among them are: Midget singer It is a gypsy whose vocal performances are achieved by being tortured and electrocuted by band member All

Chinese metalheads
I'm thinking based
Literally every Devin Townsend song makes you feel like you're traveling through the universe, into worlds that only an exceptional genius could create. Epic and based.
Metal and rock music are illegal in Xina.
Herman Li is Chinese actually and Dragonforce is great
Any Star Wars metal albums?
so basically he cant even wear that sick battle vest to a show? so sad

I didn't know about this so I googled it and it turns out you're only sorta correct in that whilst not explicitly illegal it is heavily controlled and censored. I also learned that Metallica was forbidden to play "Master of Puppets" during their tour in China, which makes no sense since it's an anti-drug song.
Thank fucking Christ I live in America I'm free to listen to listen to Christ raping metal all I want.
I still miss strapping young lad :(
heavily controlled and censored
I'm thinking things have probably changed a little in recent years. Also, there's lots of regional autonomy when it comes to these things, so they probably crack down hard in some places, but not others.
I love City, should I check out the other albums?
fake news
You need to listen to SerpentZA.
Listen to Alien & The New Black, Ignore everything else
(Self-titled is lackluster, debut album is shet)
I do
I know China is a shithole, but Morbid fuckin' Saint still played a show in Beijing 11 years ago
missing out on this
youtube.com
be me
listen to your link
Not really missing out then are we?
not a Star Wars specific album but Star One has a song about Star Wars, in addition to a bunch of other science fiction stuff.
youtube.com
not my favorite Star One song, but it's decent. I fucking LOVE "Sandrider", which is a song about Dune. I also love "24 Hours", a song about Escape from New York, and "The Eye of Ra" is a fucking banger about Stargate. I just love Star One in general. Great fucking band.
ignore City, their best album
This genuinely wounded me.
I know I'm the smartest poster here (not a very high bar thoughbeit) but in case you guys hadn't realized yet, the reason we don't posts links here is to minimize the arguing and shitting on bands/subgenres because let's face it, the metal we don't like (as individuals) fucking sucks
Also why Jute Guy never posts links to Jute Gyte or Ehnahre or Deathsmell Omega
Thank God we still have this album to discuss
based Star One enjoyer
I wish Ayreon was that heavy
Relisten to City again, then Listen to Alien & The New Black*

why are melodeath and meloblack the best metal genres?
can anyone help me find this song i heard on the radio today, it was one of those like 2010s hard rock/metal type songs where you can barely understand what the dude is saying because his voice is so overly gruff. but i made out "dancing with the dead"? at one part and the chorus kept ending with "on and on and on". anyways there was like a minute and a half guitar solo that was pretty sick but i can't find it so if anyone knows pls fill me in thanks so much!
Melodeath sucks
if it was terrestrial radio then the website of the station should have on their playlist. should be relativity easy to find it. hell if it's an actual radio station then you should be able to call and find out.
Love this album like you wouldn't believe lil bro
True fact: rust in peace was almost named Swim in Poo

why is Kerry King hated here?
I like both of Slayer's OG guitarists
Geez imagine his chin pony tail tickling your taint while he's gobbin your knob?
One side hates Kerry, Jeff Hanneman, Anselmo, and Varg for dumb political reasons, because they think they're chuds. Personally I couldn't care less about a person's politics if I like their music.
Like that ass lick from Machine Head whinging on about Phil Anselmo being a Nazi, try writing a classic album like Vulgar instead of whining about fake political nonsense.
