A LIST OF MOST ANTICIPATED 2021 RELEASES (BY KARINA NOCTUM)
(Our Norway-based contributor Karina Noctum compiled this list of forthcoming 2021 releases that she’s eagerly awaiting, with streams of advance tracks for many of them.)
2021 has just started and the news of upcoming releases by several bands I really like has been substantial. It has become one of the few highlights amidst these almost post-apocalyptic times with virus mutations running wild. I’m compiling a list of albums or EPs I look forward so I won’t forget anything since it’s already a lot, luckily. I would like to share this list here.
Most Influential Black Metal Bands
There were two waves of Black Metal. First one was from Britain, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland and Brazil, and the second one entirely from Norway.
Here are the bands who proved to be the most influential acts for Black Metal.

To my mind, Bathory are worth of at least sharing the first place with Celtic Frost, as I love both bands. However, I would put Bathory above, as Quorthon had more diversity. Rest In Valhalla.

Not BLACK METAL! They were an influential band but barely have 1-2 black metal songs. If their existence is solely on the basis of influence then why isn t Slayer at the top of death metal bands list since they were far more influential to the genre than any other bands and also have few songs reminiscent of Death Metal? Its absurd! Bathory is a Thrash/Viking/Prog Metal band nothing more. Stop worshipping the dead! Geez, I could even see Slipknot here what s wrong with y all?
