Here are the 11 best progressive black metal albums of all time!<\/p>\n
Like death metal, black metal<\/a> is probably not a subgenre you\u2019d immediately think would work well with elements of prog rock. Yet, as our list of the 11 best progressive black metal bands of all time<\/a>\u00a0showed, any<\/em> musical mashup can be awesome if it\u2019s done well. How, you might ask? By running through the 11 best progressive black metal albums ever! Although progressive black metal got going around the mid-90s, it didn\u2019t cement itsEm ascension\u00a0until the early 2000s, so we\u2019ll warn you now that there\u2019s nothing<\/em> here from the 20th century. Obviously, we\u2019re still talking about bands that began back then \u2013 such as Emperor<\/a>, Borknagar<\/a> and Sigh<\/a> \u2013 but we\u2019ve chosen only works that released post-2000. (Hopefully, that adds intrigue and mystery regarding which ones we did<\/em> include.)<\/p>\n As usual, our choices were based on both our personal preferences and what the consensus seems to be with fans. Nevertheless, we know some of them will get you fired up in good and<\/em> bad ways, and we\u2019d love to know how your list would differ from ours!<\/p>\n So, put on your corpse paint<\/a>, bake your black metal cookies<\/a> and prepare to scream, shriek and get atmospheric as we run through the 11 best progressive black metal albums of all time!<\/p>\n These progressive black metal albums masterfully meld desolate shrieks, chilling atmospheres and elaborate instrumentation!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Jordan Blum<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n These black metal bands prove that you don\u2019t need corpse paint in order to be beautifully brutal!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Jillian Drachman<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n These 11 bands know that brutality is only amplified by the presence of beauty.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Jillian Drachman<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

As a result \u2013 and because we recently looked at the 11 best progressive death metal albums of all time<\/a> \u2013 now\u2019s the perfect opportunity to examine why<\/em> those progressive black metal\u00a0bosses (alongside others)\u00a0are so remarkable.<\/p>\n
