Okay okay, you guys have probably noticed me getting a little more into The Black Metal type music, I haven't found anything on my own that i like, i've searched the the depths of Youtube Hell, and just can't find something i like the sound of, so maybe you could help me out?
as you may know, i like:

Symphonic/Orchestra additions

Growls opposed to high pitched, but mid pitched sreams are cool

HIGH production quality

complexity

groove

^ any Black Metal bands with this?

"Raise your swords up High!,

Wait...what? You want to get into Black Metal with bands that have HIGH Q records and are highly technical? Sure...they do exist but I doubt how much you'll like them.
Here take some of my suggestions: not that lo-fi but no HQ either and they are somewhat the more popular BM bands. Just start with some Norse bands and the old school. I'm not going to post a whole history of BM here, I made a selection of those who came first to the mind. Just going to post some of their most well known stuff.

Carpathian Forest


Emperor


Enslaved


Mayhem


Satyricon


Bathory


Hellhammer


Celtic Frost


Gorgoroth


Burzum!!


Hades Almighty


last one, Darkthrone






My honest excuses if not all bands fit to your description but you should try them out. Same honest excuses to the mods, I know my post is a bit long

The codes are slightly changed, seems like some vids don't display. nvm that, just search the bands mentioned about

You a probably looking for some symphonic black/death

I remember having fun once, it was terrible...

You saved the day, Mini

I remember having fun once, it was terrible...

Casually , i need to suggest greek bands to advertise my country a bit

You might know them already , if not , you should really check out Rotting Christ .
This should do it as an example :




In a completely different style , very symphonic ( i think its the only band out there with the Cretan Lyre ) , Aherusia .

oh he ought to be an admiral, a sultan, or a King
And to his praises we shall always sing
Look what he has done for us, he's filled us up with cheer
Lord bless Cha

Woo, archon, you stole it right from my mind. i was about to post these too
