My only problem with your list (which is pretty good) is this: neither Morbid Angel nor Cannibal Corpse are black metal. Both are highly influential and good death metal, but they are not black.

To get a feel for what black sounds like, i'd recommend:
Burzum (except for the latest two albums, as they are both ambient)
Ulver, first and third albums only, the second is acoustic and the rest is experimental electronic music (it's all incredible).
Satyricon's first album "Dark Medieval Times"
Mayhem's "De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas"
Agatus
Gorgoroth

Also:
Dissection: Either of the first two full-lengths are amazing. Avoid Reinkaos
Emperor - One of the best BM bands ever. All good here.
Immortal - Same as above. Pure black early, then thrash inspired later. Hell of a live act.
Blut Aus Nord - either early or their latest release. Middle releases are iffy.
1349 - fast as hell and full of hate - not for beginning but a good band to get into eventually.
Marduk- Early stuff is good, later stuff depends on taste, but I don't mind it
Borknagar* - Consistently good IMO, but you can debate them
Windir* - fucking amazing band also, maybe more folk than black. They are great
Rotting Christ* - another amazing band, they are also fantastic. Both this band and Windir have great album catalogs. I would recommend Arntor for Windir, and Thy Mighty Contract for Rotting Christ to start off.

*folk influenced bands that are almost completely black metal, but have other influences. Still great though.

Welcome aboard, other newbie. It was fun writing this.

My friend Lukas (who is actually very metal-knowledgeable) told me that Reinkaos is their best, but i was like "uhhh are you sure?"

I still need to get it.

I still need to get a lot of stuff.

I think i'm going to get everything you recommended for blueneck.

Reinkaos, IMO, is more melodic death metal than black. Also, its poorly done. Regardless, it is my opinion, but I started with their black metal so the new stuff was very disappointing to me. Thorns of Crimson Death is an amazing fucking song, (off of Storm of the Lights Bane which is another great song) and nothing on Reinkaos comes close IMO. Ask Ghoulio :P.

That's a damn good list to start off with. I also forgot Xasthur and Judas Iscariot. Damn, there are a lot of good black metal bands.

Hey guys, go add my br00tl band A dying yetti

I'm back!
The Iron Maiden show was absolutely fantastic!
The best show I've ever been to!

I would upload the photos so you all can view them but Im too tired and might do it later.
For now I uploaded all the video footage I took.
Check it out here.

The only Thrash I really listen to these Days is Kreator and Megadeth, For the rest I just listen to Individual songs. (Metal Museum ftw)

Brilliant list you've got there! You've only recently got into metal and are already into all those bands? Wow.

I have no thrash metal bands to suggest since the others mentioned them already, but I second the recommendations you've been given.

Updated list of my favoritable(word?) bands (Just because I haven't posted here in a while and I feel this will trigger 12 following posts doing just the same. [Yes, some bands are listed twice.]) Also, no black metal exists on my computer anymore. Why? Had to flush stuff out due to computer lacking space; black metal bands seemed to be collecting dust so I let them go.

Anyway, the list:

Progressive Metal:
Dream Theater
Pain of Salvation
Liquid Tension Experiment
Symphony X
Green Carnation
Into Eternity
Opeth
Ayreon
Amaran's Plight
Edge of Sanity
Necrophagist (Technical/Progressive, no?)
Nevermore
Porcupine Tree
Redemption

Black Metal:
Rotting Christ
Dark Funeral
Behemoth (Anything before their latest album.)

Death Metal:
Decapitated (Not as much as before, rarely listening.)

Metalcore:
KSE (Very little)

Thrash Metal:
Annihilator

Avant-Garde:
Buckethead

Non-metal:

Progressive Rock:
The Mars Volta
Rush

Punk Rock:
Anti-Flag

You know that leet version of that Metallica song I did?

Should I do a leet-er version of a different song?

right, right. them too. I forgot them. I also forgot Carnivore and EARLY Annihilator. When I say early, I mean their first two albums.

Don't dismiss the Comeau albums (Waking the Fury, Carnival Diablos)

WHAT.

Well, Kreator is good but to say that they're the best is a bit biased. Persoanlly, I like mostly anything from "Endless Pain" to "Coma of Souls". I don't particulary care for anything from "Renewal" to "Endorama". "Violent Revolution" was good since it was a return to their older thrash style. Here are some of the thrash bands i would reccomend to anybody that's new to thrash.

Sadus
Hirax
Coroner
Sodom
Exodus (For their old thrash style, stick with anything from "Bonded By Blood"-"Tempo Of The Damned". "Force of Habit" has a different Exodus sound but still has thrash elements.)
Nuclear Assault (Stick with the older material such as "Game Over" and "Survive" because "Third World Genocide" wasn't too good but you might like it anyway :)
Death Angel
Dark Angel
Evildead
Destruction
Sepultura (most prefer their older material such as "Morbid Visions, "Schizophrenia", beneath The Remains, etc).
Artillery
Tankard

Artillery
Tankard

Forgot to add Overkill. Silly me!

Yeah, "Alice In Hell" is great and worth taking a listen.

Also, my school's talent show auditions are on Monday. However, my friends decided to be motherfuckers and tell me that my 'singing was off key', 'We don't need three guitarists', and 'You suck at drums.'

They did, however, let me contribute constructive criticism.

They also let me suggest songs to play, but those suggestions fell on deaf ears because they are playing some song by The White Stripes.

I proceeded to call them 'Pussies' and that 'I wouldn't want to be a part of it anyway'. And that I would kill them if they didn't win because of all the bitching about the song.

I didn't mean it of course, but that's besides the point.

Thats sucks man. For one of your freinds to say "you suck at drums" is a bit harsh. A freind that makes fun of something you're trying to accomplish is no friend. I used to have a few "friends" that made fun of me because I went to a seperate high school. Well, I graduated six months earlier than they were supposed to graduate. So, I had the last laugh.

To be fair, all I can do are blast beats and that repetitive 'bass-bass-snare' beat.

Ever been to Ireland? We make fun of each other for the tiniest things over here. I don't think any foreigner (there are exceptions of course) would last a day at my school.

Yes, I have been there. I'd have to say that it's a very beautiful place. Especially Dublin.

While that is true, my point is that we're a bunch of assholes. Not all of us, mind. But most.

Well, Your singing Probably IS off key, Havin' three guitarists to play The White Stripes is retarded, And You probably DO suck at drums, being 12 and all.

I play the drums Every now and then, My friend Dengzi has a kit, He can do fucking 200+ bpm on the double pedal, And The thing is, EVERYONE thinks they can drum, every single person in the universe, is certain, that they can kick ass at drums. (lol exaggerating)

However, You've got to keep rhythm/tempo whatever perfectly, and at high speeds, that can be insane.
The hardest song I can Do that with would be this , nothing insane, I can do about 170 on Double pedal on a good day.

They did, however, let me contribute constructive criticism.

They also let me suggest songs to play, but those suggestions fell on deaf ears because they are playing some song by The White Stripes.

You probably suggested some really "hard to play" but definitely not worth it musically shit, Aka Dragonforce.
