What is this filth?

I still listen to both and recommend them all of the time! I don't really consider Cradle black metal, and Dimmu is black metal lite.

Now I want to listen to Sacrilegious Scorn and Born in a Burial Gown!

Cradle of Filth and Dimmu Borgir do not represent Black Metal well. They have quite a different emotion associated.

Cradle Of Filth - Nymphetamine Fix

DIMMU BORGIR - The Serpentine Offering

vs.

Këkht Aräkh - Wanderer

Havukruunu: Tavastland

I’ll check it out.

Blut Aus Nord is my current favorite, they've been evolving yet still staying within the black metal feel (in my opinion) and are amazing.

Anything by the vocalist Noise is good as is the same with Naas Alcameth

Panzerfaust

Akhlys is really good but the vocalist unfortunately has ties to nazi circles so pirate his shit if you listen to it

Kriegsmaschine/Mgła

I stumbled upon Dimmu Bongir a short while ago, did not dissapoint.

Read that again, it's not a typo.

I never even knew Cradle of Filth were considered black metal but according to Encyclopaedia Metallum, their neither-early-nor-late material is symphonic black metal. Think I'll give them a second chance!

If I had to single out a few, it would be Blackbraid from the US, Vermilia from Finland, and Praznina from Serbia. Vermilia and Praznina made up like 90% of my listening a few months ago.

There's an interesting documentary about black metal on Netflix (at least, the last time I checked). I didn't find it on a quick web search, so not sure the title. It platforms Varg Vikernes, so maybe it's worth avoiding now cause he's a nazi fuck. But if you look past that, it interviews some key characters in the scene. I knew next to nothing about the genre going in, so it was fun.

Here's one black metal track that I found on my own. Supposedly the vocalist is an Arab woman. I've read that maybe it isn't sincere, but probably a lot of black metal isn't.

Janaza - Burn The Pages Of Quran (Anti Islamic Black Metal)

مهما طال الليل

Here’s Arabic Heavy Metal that’s actually good https://youtu.be/bc2OmHp5V9U

Nymphetamine Fix would most likely be considered one of the top songs (which is a shortened version of the original...) Wouldn't be a bad starting point.

I wasn’t expecting microphone cunnilingus, but this was good indeed. Thanks!

No, that's way longer than the one I watched. One thing that stood out about the film was that the long-haired musician from one of the bands did a phone interview where he was cheerful and gracious near the opening. It was counter to the image of black metal and made an impression on me. I don't mean overly cheerful, but just polite.
