It's funny how in black metal discussions Emperor is never even mentioned because they're so superior to everyone else that they're basically not even considered part of the genre anymore.
Anyhoo, here's my take on french black metal:
uh, no. it's because emperor unfortunately is not at the top three of elite black metal bands, which are in order: burzum, darkthrone, and immortal.
emperor, are second-tier, sorry to say. they may be of the same generation, but in my opinion, not as important as those first three.
disagree. Immortal are 2nd tier imo, mainly due to Abbath’s vocals, and a pretty huge DM influence in their sound. Though opinions and assholes, ya know?
Norway
Yeah definitely. The earlier stuff is pretty great. And I actually really like NortherN Chaos Gods. Abbath leaving was a godsend(ha!) for this band. His solo stuff he is doing is garbage imohaha, i hear ya. though man, pure holocaust is a genius black metal album. though i do agree that they went more death metal with blizzard beasts.
