Maybe I just don't like black metal, but I find it hard to believe that people actually want to listen to this.

That ain't black metal sir, Black Metal didn't exist before 1992
Parker Sullivan
first off, that's not black metal.
second off, listen to pic related instead. it's better than sodom's entire discography and it singlehandedly defined the aesthetics for black metal. yes, even before bathory.

Not the OP, but I don't think you guys understand how the first wave of black metal worked.
Before the Norwegian "second wave" scene, black metal was basically an informal term for any metal bands that felt evil, dark, dirty, and nasty. Some bands we now just consider thrash, like Sodom and Sepultura, were often called black metal, and they're still key influences on that genre. The term was used so loosely, that in the loosest sense people even applied it to Slayer on occasion. If you'd told people that Hellhammer and Bathory were black metal and Sodom and Sepultura weren't, people would've looked at you funny.
Also, I keep seeing people saying Destruction were the best German thrash band, but I legit don't get it, I like Sodom, Kreator, and Tankard way more than them. Then again, I also like Testament more than any of the big four.

i thought you were dead euronymous. either way, go away

>makes a joke calling me Euronymous in response to explaining that lots of thrash bands were informally considered black metal
>Euronymous was literally the guy who made black metal exclusionary, and dictated what was and wasn't black metal
Confirmed for not knowing anything about black metal

First wave black metal is the only good wave of black metal
Aiden Powell
I don't disagree that Sodom is proto-black metal but imagine thinking google is the authority on what is and isn't black metal. yngmi
Jayden Robinson
It's thrash metal
Connor Johnson

Isaac Bennett
Yes it is.
It says so right on the front cover, clear as day, for all to see.
VENOM-BLACK METAL!

this is what ive figured out so far

Sodom is shit and unironically one of the worst 1st wave BM bands. This is a far more definitive piece of German 1st wave BM.
This user has the basics pretty much covered but I could also add on Messiah as another great starting point

Parker Cook
it's thrash metal, period
Brayden Green
First wave is a meme
Not black metal
Dominic Gutierrez
these guys suck too
Adam Campbell
Voivod's first album sounds a lot like Venom, yet is rarely mentioned. Is it too punk? I think it fits perfectly between all those first wave bm albums.
