Apology accepted! I too know well the occasional importance of the morning sacrament.

On topic, i actually checked out a band that i read in the music thread on these forums regarding favorite bands, the band was Absu , i acquired their latest album and gave it a listen and although i cant make out all the lyrics quite yet, their latest album at least seems to revolve around mythology and occult magickal aspects.

Its worth a listen, and apparently its black metal.

Heres a link if you/anyone is interested.

Warez BB Org Link (Yes its safe)

ABSU is Black Metal enough, though they traditionally refer to their style as Mythological Occult Metal (if I remember correctly.

oh BM thread - nice

we do - but we're offline yes, Emperor and Burzum are kvlt and really don't need an introduction since they are probably the first that you'll listen to when you start with black metal - here's one from Burzum for my peace of mind:
YouTube - Burzum - Dunkelheit (Excellent Quality)

Umbral Presence - Caelethi I

"Agios o Satanas"

"To you, Prince of Darkness and Lord of the Earth
I dedicate this Temple:
Let it become, like my body,
A vessel for your power
And an expression of your glory!"

...another good band to check out that had a hand in the early Norwegian black metal scene is Old Funeral, though they're more deathy sounding.

Venom invented the term black metal though they themselves are not.
YouTube - VENOM - 01-Black Metal
Immortal is probably my favorite Black Metal band.
YouTube - Immortal - Blashyrkh (Mighty Ravendark) - GOOD QUALITY
