Here's the scenario:

You and your friend are talking about music and Black Metal ends up getting into the conversation. Your friend hasn't really had much exposure to metal and he asks you "what the fuck is black metal?". Instead of taking the time to give him/her a verbal explanation, you go over to your stereo and turn on a Black Metal song and say "that, my friend, is black metal". What is the song you just turned on?

Remember, this is BLACK METAL! NOT symphonic black, Black Death, thrash black, depressive Black Metal, progressive black, or any other subgenre. We're talking about TRUE and PURE BLACK METAL! ALSO, you cannot make a list of songs or choose a single album, it has to be ONE SONG and one song ONLY! The benefit of this thread? Just to fulfill my curiosity of what songs people would choose.......GO!

In this scenario, I'd be sooo tempted to pick up a glass of Red Wine, take a sip and then say ".......satan."and speaking of Gorgoroth, that's exactly the band I'd whip out... just not with Gaahl on vocals.

I don't think that the term 'pure black metal' really fits the best of what Black Metal can do, so I'm not going to go for that. Leviathan and other favourites of mine incorporate a lot of neat experimental things that make for the most endearing and timeless black metal.
