I'm from northern Germany, I got my kutte since 2008 and I listen to a lot of genres. But my favorites are:
- (Melodic/Epic) Black Metal in the vein of Windir, Emperor, Dissection, Summoning, Borknagar...
- Raw Black Metal: Carpathian Forest, finnish stuff (Sargeist, Horna, SW, Baptism and so on...), Ad Hominem, German bands like Leichenzug, Magog, Absurd, Halgadom, Camulos...
- Folkish Black Metal: Nokturnal Mortum, Khors, Temnozor...
- Death Metal in every way: Obituary, Lowbrow, Atheist, old Cryptopsy, Suffocation, Carcass... Especially Swedish stuff like Dismember, Gorement, Interment, Grave, Entombed, Carnage, Nihilist...
- Old Swedish Meloblack and -death: old In Flames, At the Gates, Sacramentum, Gates of Ishtar, The Moaning, The Everdawn, Dark Tranquillity...
Having my kutte since 2008.
