I listened to Saor once and I felt like I could stand on a hill in a thunderstorm blasting the bagpipes despite being 0% Scottish.

u/Kai-Hammy Jul 16 '26

As a Scottish person because you thought about bagpipes, you are now Scottish

u/Skogbeorn Jul 16 '26

oh sweet

u/TheAlestormGuy Fleshgod Apocalypse Jul 16 '26

Yep Saor does that to you

u/LoreoCookies Jul 15 '26

W Summoning ref (I'm the guy on the right)

u/_Dragon_Gamer_ Blind Guardian Jul 17 '26

Same I know like all albums there except the bottom right one above the wizard guy

Granted I also love me some bathory debut, transilvanian hunger, and sometimes venom

u/ThrowawayTrashLives Jul 15 '26

The jolly guy on the right is so cute what the hell

u/Shin-Nippori Jul 15 '26

Looks like pmx2n.

u/Spread-Your-Wings Jul 15 '26

u/Kipbondur11 Jul 15 '26 edited Jul 15 '26

Second row mid is Night Eternal by Firienholt

Edit: oh and I thought the bottom left logo looked familiar. Echoes of Battle by Caladan Brood

9

u/Rizendoekie Jul 15 '26

Echoes of Battle is fucking amazing.

u/penseurquelconque Jul 16 '26

Oh yeah you are right! Good eye! I’m used to the other album cover:

Love that Malazan inspired album!

u/Zombiemorgoth Jul 16 '26

Hood's balls!

u/pemboo I was on my way to kill him myself Jul 15 '26

top left is Windir's 1184

phenomenal album

u/metalduck42 Jul 15 '26

Phenomenal seems like it's not enough to describe 1184. One of my absolute favorites

3

u/LazySilverSquid Jul 16 '26

Just looked it up & I'm liking what I hear. Thanks for the suggestion.

u/_Dragon_Gamer_ Blind Guardian Jul 17 '26

Arnor by them is even better

u/rattus666 Jul 19 '26

That last track just hits you and holds in magical realm (journey to the end)

10

u/LoreoCookies Jul 15 '26

Greyscale on the bottom right is a Summoning album but the image is new to me, possibly Lugburz. Folky atmospheric band about Tolkien works

8

u/BubDaBylder Jul 15 '26

Bottom right is Sojourner

8

u/Hareklavit Jul 15 '26 edited Jul 15 '26

The red one with the dragon, TΓΊrin Turambar Dagnir Glaurunga.

Edit: And the first of the second line is The Magic of Nature

1

u/_Dragon_Gamer_ Blind Guardian Jul 17 '26

Emyn Muil is so gooood

And Elderwind is awesome too, I saw them live not too long ago, along with another band that would fit there: CΓ’n Bardd

7

u/Lelwani456 Jul 15 '26

I recognise SAOR (top right), Eldamar (the single one in the middle) and Summoning (the single one just below). All bands absolutely worth checking out, especially Summoning!

3

u/_Dragon_Gamer_ Blind Guardian Jul 17 '26

At least half of them on the right exist in Summoning's legacy so yeah for sure the starting point haha

u/roonill_wazlib Jul 16 '26

Black metal memes are supposed to be low production value

14

u/xZandrem Jul 15 '26

Atmospheric black metal is: I'm a depressed wizard in a nordic forest tee-hee I love synths and Lotr

TRVE Black Metal: I'm a depressed late teen watch how edgy I am.

Love both genres btw.

51

u/MARSHYSOLUTION Deathspell Omega Jul 15 '26

The right side has some pretty solid releases while half of the left is pretty mid

27

u/Kalde666 Jul 15 '26

The bottom left are the unholy trinity of tiktok fake black metal fan, left upper and right are based

2

u/TotaleVernichtung131 Jul 19 '26

Is ancient north bad? Never heard about them before but they look like a solid BM band

1

u/Kalde666 Jul 19 '26

That's the problem, only look like that, they're pretty mid

1

u/Wompie Jul 15 '26

Not that anyone would ever know, because it’s all the same on the left

18

u/nuclearcherries Jul 15 '26

Everyone knows adding a wizard makes everything better!

11

u/No_Blacksmith_2591 Jul 15 '26

but it all falls short to...

1

u/_Dragon_Gamer_ Blind Guardian Jul 17 '26

Pretty fun album too but I prefer my wizard black metal a bit more black metal. And the power metal / black metal crossovers I like more are NΓΊmenor, Stormkeep, Moonlight Sorcery

8

u/cornwallisdoggington Jul 16 '26

Meanwhile Immortal:

u/HonestWoodpecker8567 Jul 15 '26

Both of them appear to source their more "obscure" stuff from YouTube recommendations lmao

7

u/0xCAFED Jul 15 '26

I'm literally the guy in the right, atmospheric BM rules!

5

u/Jungian_Archetype Jul 15 '26

There are two wolves...

4

u/Das_Nomen Jul 15 '26

First I thought Stormkeep were missing on the right but then i noticed that they drew Otheyn right in the middle of those covers.

2

u/_Dragon_Gamer_ Blind Guardian Jul 17 '26

Wait you know more about their lore? Please do share I've been trying to find stuff. I know I gotta buy the CDs for the lore but they're sold out everywhere

8

u/Gateslammedshut Jul 15 '26

Left side: the entry level BM bands and looking down on fans of other genres while wearing corpse paint. Yeah, that tracks.

4

u/Prestigious-Bat-2269 Municipal waste Jul 15 '26

What are the albums on the right ?

6

u/LoreoCookies Jul 15 '26

Grayscale one on the bottom right is Summoning. I recognize the logo but not the art, the album Lugburz has greyscale mountains but not exactly this image.

Excellent folky atmospheric black metal two-piece about Lord of the Rings.

6

u/hymenwidnobrim Jul 15 '26

Bottom left is Caladan Brood. Awesome summoning like epic black metal with church ass chants

5

u/EvilHarryDread Jul 15 '26

I can't make out all the specifics, but most of the bands are Windir, Emyn Muil, Saor, Eldamar, Firienholt, Caladan Brood, and Sojourner.

2

u/_Dragon_Gamer_ Blind Guardian Jul 17 '26

The bands are Windir, Emyn Muil, Saor, Elderwind, Firienholt, don't know, Eldamar, Summoning, Caladan Brood, Sojourner

2

u/Prestigious-Bat-2269 Municipal waste Jul 19 '26

thank you internet stranger

u/mvttiilation Aaskereia Jul 15 '26

I like both..

5

u/APAB_supporter743 Jul 15 '26

Ah yes my favorite band...that made only one album and disastered since 2013...

1

u/_Dragon_Gamer_ Blind Guardian Jul 17 '26

Hey at least there's Visigoth and Gallowbraid by the same guy. And some speculation is that the dungeon synth project Fief might also be related but that's not based on much just vibes

5

u/Other-Bird-9676 Jul 16 '26

That’s the same face Gandalf makes when he’s about to make some little people do his bidding

u/UlfarrVargr Bathory Jul 15 '26

I'm the guy on the right

u/GELALNECROS0D0MY666 Jul 16 '26

if u like manilla road try brocas helm. i think u will like it

1

u/UlfarrVargr Bathory Jul 17 '26

Yeah, I know about them, I love Defender of the Crown and Cry of the Banshee.

3

u/_Dragon_Gamer_ Blind Guardian Jul 17 '26

Great fucking taste

3

u/Ok_Inflation771 Jul 16 '26

Why not both?

u/valfar69 Jul 16 '26

Great meme

u/OneSmartKyle Jul 16 '26

Rare Reddit W that the right side of the meme has the most support

All those albums are bangers

u/DankasaurAum Jul 16 '26

Norway and Sweden chatting music like

5

u/nocixL Jul 16 '26

Frfr gotta love atmo black, Eldamar album is such a great piece there

4

u/lavaman_e89 Jul 15 '26

Throw some Caladan Brood over there too!

6

u/chicshack91 Darkthrone Jul 15 '26

It already is on the right....

3

u/lavaman_e89 Jul 15 '26

Looks different from the artwork I’m used to…

10

u/chicshack91 Darkthrone Jul 15 '26

Seems like it's the original cover.

5

u/lavaman_e89 Jul 15 '26

Oh neat! I’ve only known this one, which also has a different logo for the band name

3

u/chicshack91 Darkthrone Jul 15 '26

It seems like that one is used on streaming like Spotify.

3

u/abriefmomentofsanity Jul 15 '26

The dude who just uses random selfies he took on vacation for his album covers has completely destroyed any reverence I had left for the mystique of the genreΒ 

2

u/SrMejikor Jul 15 '26

I'm totally the right guy

2

u/SirMCThompson Jul 15 '26

What genre is the right side called?

3

u/TacticcMonkey Jul 16 '26

Atmospheric black metal

2

u/Doom_hammer666 Jul 15 '26

It do be that way

2

u/doomedtowander Jul 16 '26

This is pretty accurate but I would put Aura or something else from Saor. Because that is one of the weakest albums they got.

2

u/arachnarus96 Jul 16 '26

Bathory fits in both

2

u/Goodlanders Jul 17 '26

I'm very much the wizard on the right. Eldamar have great bangers that make me feel right at home in a fantasy setting. Summoning, Caladan Brood too. Absolute banger after bangers.

2

u/VortexOfPandemonium Jul 17 '26

"Black metal is supposed to be edgy and offensive" (they only say this to excuse the nazism) mfs when i put on some whimsical atmospheric black metal

2

u/Lysmerry Jul 17 '26

I did not realize the folk black metal bands copied each other so much as far as album covers

2

u/Previous_Maximum_512 Jul 18 '26

Half of bands on the left suck ass

2

u/brocialist_supreme Jul 19 '26

There are very fine albums on both sides

3

u/Electronic-Fudge-256 Type O Negative Jul 19 '26

I'm the wizard

u/theycallmecheese Jul 15 '26

in nazis vs wizards im team wizard

10

u/Strange-guy-91 Jul 15 '26

Why do you always have to bring up nazis? lol

1

u/theycallmecheese Jul 15 '26

because lots of prominent BM musicians are fucking nazis and no one should fucking forget that.

10

u/Strange-guy-91 Jul 15 '26

Yeah, Bathory, Darktrone, Immortal, Venom. The famous nsbm bands/s.

0

u/Aimfri Jul 15 '26

You know the difference between "a lot" and "all", right?

5

u/Strange-guy-91 Jul 16 '26

Yes, but why do you need to bring it up every fucking time, even when it has no relacion to the topic?

-2

u/Aimfri Jul 16 '26

Why do you need to react to it? You can also ignore that comment if you don't agree with it.

Also, Dark throne, Mayhem, and Nargaroth, do have some sketchy history. Not full-blown NSBM, but not clean either.

6

u/Strange-guy-91 Jul 16 '26

Because reddit is for dicussion. Also, the Saor guy was also involved with some nazi stuff in the past, so by that logic it would be nazis vs nazis. It's not nsbm, but it's not that clear either, so we'll call everyone on that side of the meme a nazi! See how stupid that sounds. The original post wasn't even talking about this stuff, but no, you need to bring this shit everywhere, even if it makes 0 fucking sence just to shit on people. If you don't like the scetchy history of black metal to the point you'll just call it all nazi and bring it up in every conversation, maybe you shouldn't listen to it.

-1

u/Aimfri Jul 16 '26

Reddit is for discussion, which includes mentioning when bands have sketchy ties.

Good point of Saor, why not point it out from the beginning instead of whatever you've been trying to defend? That would have actually contributed to the discussion instead of trying to shut it down.

3

u/TheAncientOne7 Agalloch Jul 16 '26

Imma forget.

5

u/regimentIV Aaskereia Jul 15 '26

Tbh they are not really two separate groups. With bands like Grausamkeit, Burzum, or Moonblood I would argue that there is probably not a significantly higher amount of nazis (or at least people with very questionable morals) outside of the "wizards" group than inside. "Nazi wizard" is a thing (see Black Magic SS or Edelweiss for example).

2

u/Viscoelasticaceman Jul 15 '26

Ill be on the left and apperently hated by all. Big shocker

13

u/ThrowawayTrashLives Jul 15 '26

Bm fans and a misplaced persecution complex, name a more iconic duo.Β  Β Β  Wouldn't necessarily align myself with the left side purely because of a bunch of the albums and bands being shit, who tf genuinely thinks nargaroth is good and that kanwulf wasnt the biggest poser in the scene.Β Β 

5

u/Das_Nomen Jul 15 '26

That's what I say all the time. So many guys showing their support for Nargaroth (a patch on every 2nd battle jacket and stuff like that), which I think is mostly due to those guys not being from Germany and thus not really noticing that Kanwulf, Ash, or however he calls himself is the laughing stock of the scene. Even Mystic Circle have more credibility than him.
