These haven't been posted here yet I don't think... there hasn't been too terribly much death metal I've been really excited for this year, but these are two that I'll buy immediately once released.
I don't listen to many metalcore bands similarly, but the ones i do listen to usually get the most head time from the metal bands I listen to. As I lay dying, trivium, haste the day, and killswitch engage pretty make up all of it.
Not a fan of killswitch's new album, as I lay dying is a dead band, and haste the day broke up. So trivium is the only active metalcore band I listen to and it took a very long while to get used to the new style of silence in the snow

It is not the only genre of metal I listen, it is just my most listened to out of those 4 bands. I do listen a little bit of every genre like thrash, death, nu, groove. But I would never get into black metal, the bands I listen to are primarily for the vocal style, lyrical themes, and guitar riffs I enjoy which unfortunately black metal does not fulfill for me

Judge the songs on the playlist after hearing them, not before.
(My entire purpose of creating that playlist was to showcase how diverse black metal is. It's even more diverse than the other metal genres! You'll hear song structures, riffs, etc. from all the other metal genres in there.)
I have tried to get into the genre before but it just wasn't for me, I listened to some of the songs you posted and didn't enjoy them, but I haven't heard that specific playlist. I will try it...
Here's your black metal playlist! I shared a similar list in the past. This one is more extensive, but still only scratching the surface of a grim frostbitten glacier on one accursed planet in a universe of blackness. (lol) Be sure to listen through it all in order without skipping anything. Take your time. There's no rush. You'll probably want to save the link to this post somewhere. Once your "training" is complete, you will have a much better grasp of how diverse this genre truly is, even when it comes to the evolution of a single band. I encourage you to explore the discographies of the ones you like. And if you want to hear what the music really sounds like (or at least something closer to it, since all headphones and speakers will ultimately limit that), get your hands on lossless files. Even the best YouTube links sound awful in comparison.
rotting christ- did not enjoy the vocal or instrumental style at all
antaeus- similar, and the satan themes are getting pretty stale
shining- the instrumentals are actually pretty good, but I do not dig that vocal style
slugdge- they sound more familiar as the death metal, better guitar work than most black metal I've heard but it isn't my cup of tea
Old Man's Child- reminds me of folk metal, but like I've said previously, I do not dig that vocal style
dominion III- electronic black metal
dragonlord- better instrumentals, again do not dig the vocals
kroda- cry me a river meets folk metal!
DHG- do not understand the theme here, but nice piano interlude
lengsel- does not fit for my ears, and the my vocal complaint is getting stale
summoning- the vocal centric black metal really does not help me
abigor- the satan centric theme and the instrumentals/vocals really do not get to me. Weeping Midwintertears was better and had a theme I could find
limbonic art- I think I am repeating myself too much
I listened up to here and like I said, the style of black metal does not correlate to me and my impressions are getting stale to read, I don't even listen to any extreme sub genres of metal. The thrashiest I get is megadeth and the most death metal I get is dethklok

Blood Fire Death is the first album I always suggest when someone's not familiar with black metal, low success rate, granted, but out of any genre I feel that one's among the hardest to get people into. I love Bathory and I miss Quorthon.
I absolutely love the guitar work from dethklok but many bands like children of bodom have vocal styles I just cannot get into. I will look at in flames

The first one is a playlist I put together with one track from each of their major releases, showing how they started out with a raw sound and evolved into something much more mainstream. In addition to melodic death metal (which they did in the '90s), they have done melodic groove metal, melodic metalcore, alternative metal, alternative rock, etc.
On that note...In Flames have a new live album coming out next month.

That's great. I so do agree that much of the 2nd wave is based on the stuff. After all these years I hear Bathory everywhere. Seriously everywhere! Dark Funeral, Immortal...............the list is almost endless though only the very few who KNOW understand it all.

This stuff is so simple. It gets perplexing if everyone gets myopia.
Let's just say that a newer listener is not going to like 75% of Black Metal Vocals. So what, we were all like that unless our parents were 5150 goths and played screaming sheet for us when we were in our cribs. All of us went from smooth vocals to the Black Metal screams, but for some it takes 10 years. Strangely I almost feel like our brain starts to ignore the vocals? But they are suppose to be anguish, hate, sadness and anger. THAT is IT. Take it away and we have nothing in the bag to hold.

I remember when that came out, it was a big deal. My favorite hobby was finding the Black Metal CDs folks would hide in the Classical Music Section. If I was maybe a nicer person I would have left them there. Still why were they there? Much has been stated about satanic cults making beautiful items to be sold in the Christian store only to be somehow cursed with hex energy for the Christians to take home and put in their house. Was it just a joke for the nice Christian Classical listener to find a Burzum CD with the symbol of Blasphemy to be shockingly seen?
I always thought they were there for a future retrieval when the finder had more cash?
