As a general rule of thumb, I dislike the vast majority of Black Metal bands out there. It has nothing to do with the ideology and everything to do with the fact that I find the music to be unlistenable. The exception are bands that combine Black elements with another genre, be it Death Metal (Dissection, Naglfar), Progressive Metal (later Emperor) or bands with a Viking slant (Enslaved, Arcturus, Borknagar).
