Suggestions
Hello, and forgive me for throwing in a text post. I was wondering what you guys would recommend for a newcomer! I just got into black metal about 6 months ago, and I’m digging it, mostly Mayhem and Darkthrone and Bathory, so nothing super out-there or unknown. I’d love some recommendations for good bands!

You know, this will sound dumb, but that hadn’t occurred to me! Any good Celtic Frost album to start with? Otherwise I’ll probably rip through them chronologically this weekend!
Although it's not as fun as recommendations from friends irl, if you start listening to music in YouTube, the algorithm can be quickly trained to suggest stuff you'll like. But throw in some hyper-pop or Andean flute music to keep it guessing.
And Bandcamp is still one of the few ways to best support smaller acts.
