I revisited the first Batushka album the other day and it still absolutely slays. I'm still banging the "real Batushka" drum.

Funny that this video shows how much of a conservative I am, hahaha. Sorry for some missing information and my confusion. I've been sick for almost two months and by brain is still rewiring. Still hope you found some interesting bands to listen to! Cheers

Human Serpent Peste Noire Deathspell Omega (even though they formed in 1998 their full lengths for the 21st century is substantial for black metal ) Ungfell Sühnopfer Forteresse Véhémence Pensees Nocturnes Spektr Azelisassath Kriegsmaschine Cénotaphe a few that come to mind

Grima is the GOAT. Gleb and Max Sysoev are brothers and the geniuses behind Grima, Second to Sun, and Ultar. Gleb’s vocals are absolutely incredible, he’s probably my favorite black metal vocalist. Seriously listen to them, please. Tales of the Enchanted Woods, Will of the Primordial, and Rotting Garden are all phenomenal albums. Frostbitten isn't quite as strong, but still has a couple really good tracks.

I'm glad Harakiri for the Sky made it to the honorable mentions. My absolute favorite band of all time!

Great video. Love finding new stuff

I like these lists. Broadens my perspective. I know some nice bands from your channel, and this is one of the reasons I am subscribed.

I've seen Gaerea and Grima on a festival... it was so fucking insane I cannot even describe it with words

Great video! Aara, Craft, Darkspace, Deathspell Omega, Evilfeast, Faidra, Midnight Odyssey, Stormkeep, Vehemence and Warmoon Lord some fantastic modern black metal bands too.

Dude, yes! These are all on point and couldn't agree more

Hey, thanks for good recommendations over the last few weeks!

Not sure why I feel that you're like the best metalhead friend I never had. Even I feel nostalgic in most of your videos. I wish I was in Germany to hang out with you. Keep rockin', Farvann \m/

Glückwunsch zu 100.000 subs !! Geiler Kanal , immer coole videos, cooler Tüp !!

I fucking love your channel, Farvann 🤘🏼 I’ve been binge watching all your videos all day and learned a couple of good bands from you

I got to see Spectral Wound in June, the show was incredible. I also saw Hellripper from the honourable mentions list last month, the crowd was mental 😊

Happy that Grima made it to the list…. They are fucking awesome, saw them in Hamburg last year together with Kanonenfieber…. Awesome music and stage presence. They played with 3 guitars and no bass, that was crazy to see… Frank, gib denen echt mal ne Chance. Ist wirklich ne geile Band ;)

Great list. There are several bands listed that I love (Grima, Uada, Gaerea, Der weg einer Freiheit) and glad your audience knows great black metal when they hear it.

Congrats on 100k

Great list. Really like that these comments are going to be a gold mine of bands I might not have heard of. Thanks for all the recs everyone🤘

Thank you, many new great sounding bands for me to listen to and get out of the 90s era more.

Happiest to see Ellende on the list. Recently saw them live in Newcastle. Really hope they come back. Absolutely amazing stuff

I' d have Afsky, None, Thy Light, Los males del mundo and Mephorash on my personal top ten. There are many bands I didn't know on that list so gotta check them out. Well deserved silver medal, man! Congratulations!

Honestly I'm leaning more in to the atmospheric/melodic side of modern black metal, it was a bit nice to find a bunch of my favorite bands in that list, but the best thing is that now I have another bunch of new bands to listen, thanks Farvann!

Thanks for new bands dude,love your channel Regards from Channel Islands

Nice list. Turned me on to some bands that I've slept on.

Grima is something you should dive into. It’s a special kind of thing. Nice production (which you might not like) but, great cold and ethereal vibes with trancey melodies. Very catchy and atmospheric.

Great video man ! 🎉

so happy to see der weg einer freiheit here!! their entire discography is amazing

Interesting list for sure. Will go for Fluisteraars, Wolves In the Throne Room, Panopticon, Oranssi Pazuzu, Misthyrming, Ultha, Afsky, Krallice, Mgla and Ash Borer

Thanks! I am not a BM fan (sometimes listen Immortal and Satyricon). But I found some interesting staff - Uada sounds very good melodic and fast. Also Lifelover is good to hear!

Next time Minenwerfer, Sale Freux, Skyforest, and Thy Light will make the list. Incredible bands

Havukruunu are one of my favourites, I’ve been lucky enough to see them live three times in the last few years. They’re top dudes too! Lamp of Murmuur definitely make my top ten too, not just because the European touring band is Dödsrit, who also make my top ten 😂 I’m going to Fortress Festival in Scarborough UK next June so I’ll be ticking a lot of bands off those lists! Der Weg einer Freiheit, Gaerea, Mysþyrming, Wolves in the Throne Room, Blackbraid, Fluisteraas, Thy Light, Ultha, Panopticon, Lamp of Murmuur (again), Dödsrit (for the first time 😁), and loads more. And there’s still a few bands to be announced!

Very happy to see Sale Freux and Pensees Nocturnes in the honorable mentions... Fuckin great content man

Very proud to see gaerea on this list! Big hug from Portugal

Great picks! I would add the following (just my personal opinion after all): Tsjuder, Wayfarer, Agalloch, Winterfylleth, Watain, Imperialist, Blut aus Nord, Saor, Wolves in the Throne Room, Panopticon, Nightbringer, Deathspell Omega (in spite of the controversy surrounding their vocalist Mikko Aspa), Thantifaxath, Imperial Triumphant, Alcest, Amesoeurs, Les Discrets, Neo Inferno 262, Abduction, Gehinnom, Miserere Luminis, Harakiri for the Sky... The list goes on.

I'm surprised Whoredom Rife hasn't made it, incredible band that really capture the grandeur of mountainous landscapes without going overboard and keeping that heavy darkness imo. Regardless some of the bands in here that I've never heard of sound amazing and so this is a fantastic list for checking new bands out. Thanks Farvann!

He’ll o and greetings from Poland 🇵🇱 . Thanks Farvann r your channel

Nice video. I'd also mention Ghost Bath, Craft, None, Hulder, and Dawn Ray'd too. Definitely some of my favorites.

Wow. A whole video on the topic “What do you think about this and that band”?! 🤯You really know your audience. ;D Great video!

Good to see some familiar names ! You got no problem with showing GOATMOON and PESTE NOIR ? Went to see Grima live ...was a great show ! Frosbitten is really enjoyable with no pauses ! Spectal Wound also is a very good listen overall ! Cheers БРАТ !

Congrats for 100k subs

A fan of all but peste noire and uada. Def going to put Spectral Wound havuukrun on my list and give Ellende another try. Appreciate the video farvann! Horns up !🖤

Yoo congrats on 100k subs 🖤🖤

Great list, spectral wound is on one of my tight rotations. And I have much love for honorable mention afsky. if you're not listening already, you should be.

Gaerea is one of my favourite bands atm, but my current favourites have been Batushka, Uada, Stormkeep, Spectral Wound, Groza, The Suns Journey Through the Night, WITR, Lamp of Murmuur and Panopticon 🤘

Grima and Akhlys are actually my two fav black Metal Bands.Also it's a very good list,lot of really good bands.🤘

Sühnopfer, Coldworld, Evilfeast, and Reverorum ib Malacht, those 2000s black metal bands are unmatchable.

Congratulations! 100000 subs 🎉

I would have loved to see more experimental BM, as much as i loved to see Lifelover and DWEF (one of my favourite BM bands for the last 10 years) there are so much more. Enslaved, Oranssi Pazuzu, Hail Spirit Noir, Dodheimsgard (they are also one of my favourite bands) Shining, Deathspell Omega, Blut Aus Nord and so much more.

You sir earn my respect for the Teitanblood shirt alone. Hands down my favorite band ever, and I like all genres of music in general.

Saw Batushka and Spectral Wound live this year and they were both fantastic. Well earned positions... if only mgła would tour in the UK 😢

Love spectral wound! Cant wait to see them since i missed them at the last festival i was at

Passéisme, Serpent Column, Kostnatění and Thantifaxath would be some of my suggestions. Also a little surprised to not see Odz Manouk in the honorable mentions.

Thanks for the recommendations. Havukruunu became one of my favorite, if not my favorite FInnish black metal band in the last months. Also Moonlight Sorcery is a phenomenal band. Drudkh is one of the best from the 2000, same goes with Ungfell and Ellende.

I expected to see Lustre, Midnight Odyssey, Eldamar, Путь here, so I’m waiting for a video about the best atmospheric black metal!

I am very surprised with this list, I was not expecting to be like this but I'm glad because it's most of what I listen to

Some great recommendations in the list. Also shoutout to Gaerea. They're great. For Uada, the first album is a masterpiece and the following albums are fine but nearly on the level of the first.

Decent list, glad to see Spectral Wound here. I need to add three (?) more bands though: Misþyrming, especially their album Algleymi is nonstop brilliance, Harakiri for the Sky in general, (I love all their stuff) and Saor as well. Also, even if it's more experimental and changes style from album to album, but I have to mention Thy Catafalque, because it's my all time favourite and it's from my country. (+1 Wolf-Father album from Nidingr)

Glad to have found Grima and Havukruunu. I can suggest also Akathexis and Arkthinn ;)

hell yeah thank you so much for including gaerea, theyre the best, i also saw them live on august, really great band

Absolutely reccomend Wiegedood, insane black metal from Belgium!

Happy to See Life Lover get some love. Begrime Exemious for my 2000's Bethelehm was another great band that i dont hear often from others but 90's band still active i think.

4:23 Took me some time to realise that "Awowa" is actually "Aurora". Great video :)

Bro, I really recommend you "Second to sun", band from saint-petersburg. vocalist and bassist from grima play at second to sun too. Sorry about my english)

My favorites are probably these: Ellende, The Ruins Of Beverast, Farsot, A Forest of Stars, Aquilus, Spectral Lore, Shylmagoghnar, Horn, Eïs, Woods Of Desolation, Heretoir, None, Enisum I love these bands so much, and they are all extremely talented and amazing musicians ^^

One of my best discoveries was outlaw, or nahasheol from the same guy basically, highly recommend

Happy to see Ellende hit #3, they are an outstanding DSBM/atmospheric black metal band especially live.

I am actually pissed that NONE didn't get onto this list. Frucking amazing band. Also, this was a cool video, but some more detail on each of the bands would have been nicer. Although, this is your channel and everything is completely up to you, that would have been a good edition. Still, a very good video, as always!

Love Gaerea mirage is one of my favorite album if you have the chance to go seeing them live don’t miss that chance cheers from Canada 🤘🏼

Trhä and Sadness must be mentioned as well!!

As an Austrian, it fills me with pride to see Harakiri For The Sky in the list and Ellende even at number 3! Especially when you consider that Ellende is a one-man band. He also paints the album covers himself!

3. Wolves in the Throne Room 4. I ( only a project and not a real band, but still its awsome) 5. Lifelover 6. Valhexen 7.Urfaust 8.Leichenzug 9.Gaahls Wyrd 10.Shining damn its quite hard, most bands i listen to started in the 90th

I am a bit surprised Walknut is not included in the list I highly recommend you to check out their album “Graveforests and Their Shadows”

you introduced me to havukrunnu and havulinnaan is one of my fav BM album too

glad to see lifelover on the list, they are amazing.

Yeah I saw the Boris video where he said he watched Djevel with Fenriz, I was totally jealous 😆 I didn't know that about Lykanthrope being live singer with Krzystof, just saw them a few weeks ago too it was awesome 🤘🤘

These are good picks.

I saw Grima live. It was such nice concert. One of the best I ever seen. They build a big atmosphere and then crush it down with an unrelented force of blastbeat.

Shocked I knew a band you didn’t ! (Gaerea). I also like ANZV from Portugal… very small following for now

Good list 👌 👍🏻

Great list, but I think that "Sworn" from Norway would deserve a place in the ranking. Their recent albums are great, the last one "A Journey told through fire" is a blast.☺ Oh, and I would replace "Der Weg einer Freiheit" with "Imperium Dekadenz" because the latter creates one of the best melancholic, somber atmosphere of the whole scene. Their album "Dis Manibus" is hard to forget...

Great video! I'm genuinely surprised Forteresse didn't even make the honorable mentions list. They're easily in my top 5 of all time list. Also Kaevum not being there is surprising as Natur is one of the greatest BM albums of all time. Probably my top two BM albums are Metal Noir Quebecois from Forteresse and Natur from Kaevum. Both released after 2000.

A very small band I discovered on a local festival about a year and a half ago is "Daemonesq" (the 'ae' sometimes is the danish version but I don't know how to type that on a German Keyboard and the website and the youtube channel e.g. are just written with a normal 'ae'). They're a female-fronted Black Metal band (don't judge them on that yet, give it a try, Raeginas voice is pretty dope and not what u might expect thinking of female-fronted metal) founded in 2020 and have only released a first EP called "The beauty of letting go" yet. However, they did have some live experiences at e.g. "In Flammen", "Metal Frenzy" and "Rage Against Racism" and some recordings of these gigs do exist here on youtube. They had been on Spotify for quite some time but seem to have either quit that or intentionally made their way off of Spotify. However, all of their songs can be found on KZfaq or bought on their website / bandcamp both as files or on CD. Edit: I just realised that their last acitivity was over a year ago, so I don't know if they decided to quit or are just inactive for a while. Couldn't find any statement about that.

Havukruunu I actually found out about through your channel, I think after something like 3 -4 skit videos Havukruunu started showing up in recommendations. Nocturnal Depression in the honourable mentions I can see because that is definitely an acquired taste you have to already be down the rabbit hole for that one. 20 minute long songs & of course Intermezzo from the Soundtrack for a Suicide:Opus II with the Columbine 9.1.1 call…chefs kiss as the kids say. With Lifelover they broke up out of respect for the member who passed away I can relate back in college the band I was in back then we lost our drummer & our friend to suicide & it just felt weird playing those songs without him. So we all agreed to end that band.

Here are some I like: Autumn Nostalgie, Faidra, Sickle of Dust, Minenwerfer, 1914, Firienholt, Order of Nosferat, Ethereal Shroud, Marrasmieli, Together to the Stars, Caladan Brood, Emyn Muil, Belore or Can Baard

I saw Grima in Brno this year. And also Ellende in Žemberovce in Slovakia. Really atmospheric stuff. I can recommend you a band from my country (Slovakia). It's called Krajiny Hmly. They play pagan black metal and have really melodic stuff. I hear there a lot of riffs inspired by Slovak folklore music. Great band! 🤘🏻🔥

Furia, Massemord (Pol) and 1914 :) great list btw

For those who like to discover "hidden gems" in BM - the band called Arnaut Pavle from Finland. Very fast, very rough and aggressive. Their song Carpet Bombing Nazareth is 1:44 of pure hell energy. Something opposite to 8 minute long atmospheric BM ballades.

maybe it's just me and simply because I seek out so many of them (or the algorithm suggest them to me) that I have no overview of the bigger picture, but it seems like Germany and Austria became really big in the past few years in the BM scene, Harakiri for the Sky, Ellende, Firtan, Grau, Karg etc all released some great music. I think most are even under the same label, AOP.

Recommend to check out Nordjevel, Mork, Tilintetgjort and Zustand Null if you wanna check out some newer extreme metal from Scandinavia

Glad Ungfell made it to your honorable mentions list. Great band, they tie in that folk element without it being cheesy.

Aquilus, Forest Stream (formed in 95, but albums released

Woods of desolation is on the List 🤘🖤🤘😀

Sad to see that Mork and WTTR didn’t make the cut, great bands imo - but pretty hard to top what’s on the list

My favorite black metal bands are Mist of Mystery, Burshtyn, Lamp of Murmuur, Khold/Tulus, Mephorash, Wolves in the Throne Room, Lifelover, Pure Wrath and many more

i can predict that you will do a 100k special Q&a if im not completely wrong, what is your favorite immortal album

i actually really liked stormlord post 2000s almost more than the stuff from before that, it seems most people dont really even know about them or at least i never hear people talk about them, also i really enjoy abstract void even though i guess they are blackgaze synthwave but whatever, nice list by the way

I saw Djevel live in Poland this year, pretty good but I didn't know it's Faust band. Still waiting for Mgła or Derph's Batushka near my hometown to see them live, especially Mgła because it's my fav bm band.

im glad none made it to the end list

Theres some damn many its hard to make a list like this. Also no mention of Vothana??
