Intro
What is this? This is an attempt to list the Nether World's treasure of Black Metal releases. There are no assessments of the bands and releases included herein, just brief (wannabe-)objective descriptions. The list is a simple alpabetical listing of all the bands, with the bands' releases listed chronologically for each band. In addition, there is also an alpabetical list of compilation albums that contain a significant share of Black Metal tracks. This discography is maintained by Thomas Wolmer and copyright 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993 by the very same, which should not be any major deal as the information in it is free. Enjoy. What is Black Metal? In the beginning there was Venom. Then it exploded. In effect, this section is not as comprehensive as it should be. But one issue has to be addressed: There is not one generally accepted definition of Black Metal. Clearly, Venom was the first Black Metal band - they coined the term - and they played a (for its time) fast and raw form of Metal and sung about Satan & evil. Then came other bands who both played and sung about similar stuff, and everyone agreed that they were Black Metal too. But what about bands who just "sing about Satan", or just play this kind of music? It may not agree with what Venom says about what they intended long ago, but we here define Black Metal bands as bands who do both. Then there is the question of how much you really should label as Black Metal, musically. Many of today's bands you will find in this list do not sound much like Venom once did. Their music probably sounds more like what some of the retainers of the Black Metal throne (read: Bathory, Hellhammer) ended up playing. That is hereby defined as "good enough". And at last, this list includes a growing number of bands who have certainly left the original lyrical scope (or never even touched it). The majority of these happen to be Scandinavian and sing about Vikings and old Norse myths, but others focus on other pagan peoples and myths. Since these bands belong to the same scenes as the modern Black Metal bands and they in a way head for a similar atmosphere, they are included too. You may notice that various affiliations of some of the bands are listed. This is because some people may think that Nazis are nasty people and don't want to accidentally buy their albums, or that Church of Satan members are wimps, a disgrace to the scene, and should be brutally sodomized. Note that only official stances are listed, and if any information of this kind is incorrect please tell me as soon as possible.Key
The entries in the list look something like this: Artist: Country Year-Year # General comments on the band Name Of Release/Format/Year [Record Label(s)] (split release with who?) # Comments on this particular release ... If the band is currently active, there is of course no demise year. If the band has existed during several periods of time there are several intervals. Simple, right? If the format field is missing then the item is an ordinary full-length LP/CD/MC release; a non-full-length release is usually called an EP or possibly a MCD or 12" if that is the only available format. Inconsistencies in the notation would not surprise me. To save space, the record label names have been abbreviated; a key is available at the end of this section. As a final note, some might notice that the bands are not sorted as they would have expected. This is probably because Swedish alphabetical sort order is used, which most notably means that å ä ö comes last. Fewer should be surprised that digits come before alphabetical characters, that space comes before both, and that "The" in the beginning of names does not count. What exactly is deemed worthy of inclusion? Important: This list is not an attempt to list all Black Metal that has ever been recorded. First of all, I have restricted myself to only include bands that have released something on their own on vinyl or CD (or maybe on a label edited MC). That is, I do not include bands who have only recorded demos or have only been included on compilations. I would not have a chance to keep up with all new bands popping up and releasing a demo, so I am not even trying. Secondly, I only include "official" releases. This means that rehearsal tapes that have only been informally spread by the bands, and promo stuff for radio stations or record stores that have never been for sale, are not found in here. Although if a promo differs from the finally released product in some significant way, it may be worth a comment somewhere. On the other hand, bootlegs are included - they are, after all, publicly available. On the topic of "What is Black Metal?", see section I.I.II. What if I possess some knowledge that the keeper does not? Contact me at once! Without contributions from the other people, I wouldn't have got this list even close to where it is today. Anything you tell me (that I find likely to be true) will be included in the next revision. Bands and labels who have had their efforts included in the list (or should have) and who have first-hand knowledge about things are especially welcome to tell me how wrong I've got things. When telling me about a new band to be added, please be elaborate. "You haven't included Xyxgorgulk!" is not a very helpful message. Tell me about releases, the years and the labels, and what the band sounds like. To make things easier for me, put the string 'METALLIST:' in the subject line of emails containing information that's supposed to go into the list. Yes, capital letters and a colon, ':'. Thank you. Is there more of the same kind? The first known list of this kind was The Heavy Metal List From Hell, created in 1991 by one but maintained by Travis Johnson during the major part of its short life. It covered Speed/Thrash/Death/Black Metal but was abandoned in mid-1992. However, it became the direct ancestor of The Deathgrind Metal List and even before its demise it had inspired the creation of other lists. These list are believed or even known to be alive: Kept by Thomas Wolmer : The Black Metal List The Doom Metal List [will be co-kept by Miika Kuusinen ] Kept by Bill Vogel III <70534.3023@compuserve.com>: The Deathgrind Metal List [originally kept by Thomas Wolmer] The Rapcore List Spitting Blood [a Black Metal/Death Metal/Grindcore compilations list] [Bill was planning a Industrial Metal list too?] Kept by Ed Lewandowski : The Black Ambient/Atmospheric List & The Black Metal Side Projects List Kept by Philip Wang : The New Wave Of British Heavy Metal List The fates of these list are uncertain: Once kept by Erik Welty : The Progressive Metal List [there was an earlier list by the same name] Once kept by Serge Dubakov : The Speed Metal List [there has been rumours of a rival Speed Metal list] Once kept by Brian Long : The Canonical Grind/Noise/Stench/Crust/Porn/Shit/Blurr/Sludge-CORE List Where to find it? Both lists maintained by me (Thomas Wolmer, remember?) are posted in the appropriate Usenet newsgroups and arbitrary mailing lists when they are revised, and also mailed directly to those who have managed to tell me to. On the World Wide Web, the latest versions can be found at , in raw text versions and also in HTML versions thanks to the combined efforts of Matthias Baas and Miika "Mega" Kuusinen . I also try to have links to all other lists there. The lists can also be found on CompuServe, thanks to Bill Vogel III. Look in the File library/Heavy Metal section/Rocknet forum. There is also a simple email file server. Send a message to with the subject 'send blacklist' or 'send doomlist', no more, no less, and you will get the latest revisions mailed to you - make sure your return address is correct in the headers of you mail. Do not bother writing anything in the body of the message - no one will ever read it. As a last resort you can send me an ordinary email and kindly ask to have the lists sent to you. Or you might run into me on the IRC, EFnet Europe, channel #Metal or #BlackMetal, and get them DCC:ed. Although I'm rather seldom IRCing these days. Legal stuff Not much really. This document is freeware, you are allowed and encouraged to copy, spread and make it publicly available, provided that you do not charge any money for it and do not alter the list in any way. Use the information in it in any way you can think of, but when you quote straight from the list, I would appreciate if you mention your source. As said, you are not allowed to spread versions of the document with any of the text changed or deleted (like this information text). If you want any changes made, tell me, OK? Word: Tradition.

Bathory: Sweden 1983- # Quorthon started the band in March 1983 together with two other guys. # Initially they played Motörhead-influenced rough Metal much like early # Venom. The line-up didn't last long, and after one demo and two tracks # on a compilation album Quorthon kicked the two others, as they weren't # into the things he wanted to create. With this the music changed to # become also very Venom-like but much "Blacker". With no stable members # except Quorthon the band fought through their first three albums, until # Quorthon in late 1986 finally gave up the idea of having a "real" band # and decided to continue all alone, getting help from friends and # contacts when needed. By now Bathory had by far left the Venom cloning # and "Under The Sign Of The Black Mark" would later become the banner # under which modern "Northern" Black Metal bands would gather. Quorthon # also felt that there was time for a change in the music and imagery of # the band. For the next album he went more towards "battle hymns" type # epics but the real shock came with "Hammerheart". Viking romanticism # presented in clear vocals to high-toned solemn tunes. The following # album continued the slow-paced march towards ancient times, now also # with classical influences and impressive acoustic guitarwork. # Then came a sudden turn towards late eighties' Speed/Thrash Metal, # although the latest release is from the Viking era. # Quorthon, only has also made a solo album which is NOT Metal at all # (it's grungy rock and as such not bad at all, in case you wondered) and # a second one is coming. Future Bathory material is supposed to be unlike # anything released before, but still Metal and still heavy.
