Columbus doesn't get a lot of good shows these days and I honestly can't remember what the last good one was (I did want to see Enforcer when they were here last week but I couldn't get out of work on time to justify it), so I always end up going to Dayton, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Detroit, or Chicago for shows anyway.

So I need some help. I have never been a black metal fan, at all. But I fell in love with behemoth's last two albums and I really dug the most recent deafheaven. I saw you guys talking about abbath, so I picked it up and I loving love it.

Now I want to start branching out a bit into Immortal but I have no clue where to start. Or some bands similar to this abbath album. I really like how catchy and hooky some of the riffs are, which would be a big plus to anything recommended. Normally I go for poo poo like black dahlia murder, carcass, misery index, lamb of god, I'm a little all over the place.

Edit. I also recently discovered...cthtonic? Not sure how to spell it, but the taiwanese band and they loving slay if it helps.

Seconding this. I lived in Cincinnati for a few years and drove to Columbus, Indianapolis, Louisville, Lexington, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Cleveland, etc. regularly for shows. That area of the Midwest gets crummy shows.

Also the Enforcer/Warbringer/etc show was excellent; Enforcer killed it.

If you like the Abbath album, check out Immortal's Sons of Northern Darkness and his I album, Between Two Worlds, that he also did with King. The material from the solo album wouldn't be out of place on that album either.

For catchy hooky riffy black'n'roll stuff, give Satyricon (their later material) a try.

This is really good poo poo. Kindly requesting you up your production to two songs per year.

EDIT: No seriously, I'm listening to your other stuff on Youtube right now and really liking the whole mixture of 80s with a 70s buzz/groove thing you have going on.

Power Trip was indeed cool and good, I could feel the Exodus worship. Glad I made it there on time through Jersey traffic to see them. Deafheaven after that was such a weird mood changer, I wasn't sure how they would be live in the first place. I enjoy their albums, and after their set was done I thought they needed to basically just play an entire album/most of one live without real pauses in between songs and have the whole performance flow together better basically like a Yob show.

Anthrax was so fun, I don't think many other bands can get the entire floor really moving through the whole show. I stayed through 4 songs of Lamb of God's set then left because the sound was pretty bad for them, was hard to hear the vocals or guitars most of the time, and neither my brother or I were really fans of them anyway.

We got to the venue around 8 because of traffic so we missed Power Trip. Deafheaven was, imo, pretty awful but I'd never heard their stuff before and maybe my ears weren't warmed up enough yet.
Anthrax was a lot of fun to watch, and I enjoyed a couple of Lamb of God's songs. I'd go again, was a good time.

Also, I was going to pass on the new Megadeth because I figured it would be like the last handful of albums, but since you all gave it such good reviews, I went out and bought it (you get a redemption code for a free vinyl copy if you buy it at Target btw). It really IS the best album Megadeth has done since Rust in Peace. I'm pretty shocked.

Welcome to the club... Start with Immortal's latest releases and work backwards, since their most recent are more death/black until you get to Pure Holocaust and Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism which are trve low fi blackest of black metal type poo poo.

If you like classic black metal sounds, Taake has some good poo poo, as well as Tsujder.

If you like Abbath's solo poo poo, you might also want to give Demonaz's solo album a shot since they're pretty similar with the black n roll sound.

if you like Abbath's vocal style, Ruin's "Spun Forth as Dark Nets" is pretty good.

If you like some blackened thrash in the vein of Behemoth, Absu is another fantastic band.

There's also have a black metal specific thread that you could probably look at for more recommendations since black metal isn't brought up too much in this thread.

Definitely! Thinking about it I think the only solo Dio I can't account for is Angry Machines because I don't have it. All in all he put out a lot of solid albums, but I think Sacred Heart might be the weakest one.

Have you listened to much Skeletonwitch? It's not exactly what you're asking about, but it's fun thrash with some black metal influence (on the first couple albums anyway) and based on your other likes, you might get a kick out of it.

Also, for thrash-ish metal with an Asian folk influence, you should definitely check out Tengger Cavalry.
