Since lemmy is still a small place, and there’s not too many of us yet here (what, 12?), I thought I’d create a thread for intros to keep things a bit lively. Introduce yourself in the comments and in the spirit of the community throw in your favourite Black Metal band or gig or smth.!

Don’t know if anyone is interested in this kind of stuff, but might as well throw it there.

    For myself, I’m a Finnish metalhead alternating between living up north in Oulu and down south in Tampere. More of an avantgarde guy, so prefer more melodic stuff usually, but well, seems like every avantgarde band has an awesome black metal debut album. (Looking at you, Solefald!)

    Currently mostly banging to Cult of Fire which has been a favourite now for a half a year or something.

      Avant garde? What are some of your favorites? More Dodheimsgard and Arcturus or Portal and Imperial Triumphant vibes? There’s a wide spectrum of styles that fit even within that niche of a niche. Cult of Fire is really good, especially that album. For me Urfaust hits many of the same notes.

        Definitely more Dødheimsgard and Arcturus. Transcending Bizarre?, Solefald, In the Woods…, (and maybe Nechochwen if that counts) are among my favourites. Diablo Swing Orchestra too if I go a bit more on a tangent.

        I’ve never gotten that much into Urfaust, it’s pretty good and I don’t mind listening to it but I rarely put it on myself for some reason, not exactly sure why.
