Is it safe to say Emperor is the best black metal band ever? Yeah? Okay, thanks.
No, because they only put out one full length black metal album.
Pfff. Once you invent black metal, basically any variations that result are you expanding the limits of the project that you created.
Emperor didn't invent black metal, come on now.
Listened to ITNE a few times in the last few days, and nothing out of that original Norwegian scene can touch that album. I know I'm technically wrong. But I'm so right.
Well, I kind of disagree; ITNE is one of the all-time best, but there are definitely some worthy contenders from the era.
Mayhem - De Mysetriis is definitely close. As is Darkthrone - A Blaze In The Northern Sky, Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss, Satyricon - The Shadowthrone, too, just to name a few of the better known examples.
