Favourite type of Black Metal

As a companion to my death metal poll, here is a black metal version.

I didn't actually know about a couple of these options but they were mentioned on the MMA pages so I thought I'd list them. I also included a few notable hybrids.

And yes the Black Metal option itself means the basic, traditional form of the genre as started in Norway. Not so called first wave black metal than could mean anything.

Mine is atmospheric black metal.

Damn it, I formgot to put in Psychedelic Black Metal to cover bands like Hail Spirir Noir.

Atmospheric followed by AG for me (two very different styles)

Very rarely do I listen to black metal, but if i do, it is Ved Buens Ende, which is said to be post black metal, or avant garde if you like.

I like the black metal stuff made by Mories de Jong a lot - De Magia Veterum and Cloak of Altering. It's technically avant black but quite unique and I don't really like other avant black bands except for A Forest of Stars which is "kinda" avant. I like some post-black like Fen, but most of the movement leaves me cold. So, hell if I know!

I had to draw the line on the options somewhere, but yes, that probably should have been there...

Okay you caught me, I forgot another one. I should have just added an Other option it seems.

It seems like you can actually vote more than once on this poll so I voted for both normal black metal and atmospheric black metal.

Ignore him  Ashley, Kim will have you adding blackened glam metal next

I actually thought that option was a to let people change their vote rather than vote on more than one.
