Are there any "Under the Sign of the Black Mark" worship bands out there?

It's by far my favorite Bathory album and really just one of the greatest albums ever to me. It's pure black metal. Love the raw aggression while at the same time having this epic feel to it. Like a crazy dude screaming blasphemy from on top of a mountain.

Are there any albums similar to it, or any bands that have dedicated their style to that album? Example, Thulcandra wosphipping Dissection.

Thanks in advance!

Wolves of Desor - “Mountain’s Grand Majesty” (2025)

From their latest demo “The Witch of November.” I found it this morning while scrolling through my Bandcamp feed and thought I’d share it with you all.

New release by Veneficus Sarcina - Sorcerer's Burden

This album by my favorite Black Metal Artist delves into soundscapes, channeling a Celtic Frost-inspired approach while drawing from the second wave of Black Metal. Each track weaves a raw and atmospheric experience, balancing eerie melodies with crushing intensity.

Deep Lake Trespass lyrics

Does anyone know why the lyrics to the Darkthrone song Deep Lake Trespass are unavailable? It's become a personal favourite but I can't find the lyrics to them online. I even checked my CD copy and that page just has a pic of a lake on it.

Question for everyone

My friend showed me a video of a band wearing masks (Scandinavian I think) where they were by a river playing. There’s a lot of aerial shots of the broken ice on a river. Does anyone know what I’m talking about?

Iconic Corpse Paint.

Hello. Im doing an art project, and I wanted to get some suggestions. What are some of the most iconic corpse paint designs? I'm talking, if you saw it painted out flat, you'd be able to recognize it.

Doesn't necessarily have to be black metal artists. So, King Diamond is an example I'm already considering.
