A
list of recent black metal albums that have gained a high regard. I
discounted 2017 so all albums were released between 2006 - 2016. The
only other requirement I imposed was one released per artist. All albums
are in the top 100 for black metal on RYM. Vote for your favourite. Full titles for some of the options where I ran out of room: Drudkh - Кров у наших криницях (Blood in Our Wells) (2006) Peste Noire - La Sanie des siècles: Panégyrique de la dégénérescence (2006) Inquisition - Ominous Doctrines of the Perpetual Mystical Macrocosm (2010) Blut aus Nord - Memoria Vetusta II: Dialogue With the Stars (2009) |

| I have a high regard for some of them like Enslaved, Melechesh, Mgla and Inquisition and have heard other albums by quite a few of the bands listed but probably haven't heard enough on that list to cast a meaningful vote. I'm going to check some of them out though. |

I've got a better selection to vote on here, with 10 out of 25 heard. The one that immediately jumps out at me is Drudkh...one of a few albums I've recently purchased as part of a spree on black metal classics, so that's where my vote goes. All the other albums I bought were much older. ------------- Earn Money Online (NOT a scam): https://premium.gg2u.org?referrer=adg211288" rel="nofollow - GG2U https://adamsfilmcorner.quora.com/" rel="nofollow - Adam's Film Corner on Quora |

Panopticon is the only one I've heard, but it is excellent. |

| Agalloch is the only one I've heard, but it's awesome, so I voted it. |

An observation: Out of every poll I made for this series, black metal was the only genre where I got a top 25 out of the RYM top 100 albums. Every other chart was dominated by older stuff. Doom came close to managing it with me going down to number 108 to make a top 25 though. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, but it confirms a suspicous I've had for a while that black metal is that rare sub-genre that really does still have something new and special to offer, while other genres like trad and thrash, better loved though they might be, have long peaked. |

I think black metal has a lot looser definition than other metal genres, so its more open to experimentation, expansion, and innovation, and so yes, still has new things to offer and new boundaries to push. It could also be because it still attracts a younger audience than other genres, who are less accepting of what the big name bands and best albums are supposed to be, so keep redefining it. A very interesting observation though. |

It's definitely got a broad scope and is one of the genre's with the most defined sub-genres within it (they are more than we have tags for here for certain, notably blackgaze). |
