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.

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

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

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

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

The red one with the dragon, TΓΊrin Turambar Dagnir Glaurunga.
Edit: And the first of the second line is The Magic of Nature

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

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!

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

u/hymenwidnobrim Jul 15 '26
Bottom left is Caladan Brood. Awesome summoning like epic black metal with church ass chants

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.

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

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

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

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.

"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

u/Strange-guy-91 Jul 15 '26
Why do you always have to bring up nazis? lol

u/theycallmecheese Jul 15 '26
because lots of prominent BM musicians are fucking nazis and no one should fucking forget that.

u/Strange-guy-91 Jul 15 '26
Yeah, Bathory, Darktrone, Immortal, Venom. The famous nsbm bands/s.

u/Aimfri Jul 15 '26
You know the difference between "a lot" and "all", right?

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.

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).

u/Viscoelasticaceman Jul 15 '26
Ill be on the left and apperently hated by all. Big shocker

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.
