Brad's Top 20 Black Metal
Albums of All Time
(In
no particular order)
I figure of all my lists, this will be the most controversial as it is so
hard to think of what and where we define the category of black metal.
Also I feel that of the musical styles I cover this is the one people feel
the most passionate about. As usual I am only using one album per band
though I may feel that certain bands would have many albums on this list
otherwise and I am not including bootlegs or demo recordings otherwise an
artist like VON would certainly have made it as well as Hellhammer's Satanic
Rites CD.
