Post subject:  Venom, Bathory, or Celtic Frost?

I have recently been trying to get into old death and black metal. Just around 2 or 3 monthes ago I would talk about how much I hated these genres, but with bands like Amon Amarth, Death, Children of Bodom, PainmuseuM, and Morbid Angel have introduced me to the goodness of death and black metal. Now I have been reading a lot about Venom, Bathory, and Celtic Frost and I want to know wich of the three is more popular and better. Now for each band I have only heard 1 song for Bathory, 1 song for Celtic Frost, and 2 songs for Venom. I like Venom the best so far, but I would other peoples opinions. :twisted:

I don't mind being asked. BATHORY by far! All first five albums are great. Next up is Celtic Frost with their first three ones. I like Venom too, but I don't find them as great as Bathory and CF.

Definitely Bathory. Venom aren't to be taken too serious.

I haven't heard much by Venom, or Celtic Frost, so I voted Bathory. I love listening to them when I drive to work in the morning when the sun hasn't come out yet.



"Hammerheart" is a brilliant record.

No fucking way is The Return a highlight for Bathory.

Under the Sign or Blood Fire Death are both infinitely better if you're going for something comparable to the other bands, and Hammerheart is a must-have, the band's masterpiece.

When you want to try your first black metal band, I'd suggest:
Ulver - Bergtatt
Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
Darkthrone - Transylvanian Hunger

I suggest you dig into what predated it later, this will give you a better idea on what BM sounds like than Venom for example.

Its a toss up between Bathory and Celtic Frost, but I think I'll go for Bathor

i vote BATHORY!! my personal favourite is Blood Fire Death.

what do you guys think of Bathory's "Requiem"? it's thrash and with a raw (not BM raw, just, you know, raw) sound and stuff. i like it, even if some songs are a bit similar-sounding.

Celtic Frost is nice, of course.

to be honest i don't like Venom.. lots of respect and all, but no, defint«itely not my cup of tea.
