I'll have to go with Icecross, Bathory, Opeth, Agalloch, Druid Lord, Novembers Doom, Burzum, Satyricon, Mayhem, Marduk, and Behexen.

Those are the only ones I can think of right now. :T

The topic didn't ask for more than one band.

If you are a false, don't entry, or you'll be burned and died!

I know, but it was difficult for me to chose just one.

Try. I wanna see what your Absolute favorite band is *, I'm sure you can narrow it Down to one if you think enough.




* - if it's anything other than Agalloch I'm gonna be vewwy vewwy mad.

Hmmmm.... Insomnium. :P
But don't get me wrong, Agalloch is pretty good too, but not as good as Insomnium. :P

What the hell? Insomnium wasn't even in your original post.

But I SUPPOSE that's okay, Insomnium's like one of my favorite bands too (top 10, maybe top 5 on a good day) so I'm only mildly angry

Yeah because it popped into my Head at the last minute. I told you it would be difficult.
And besides, I could understand if you got angry if I chose some shitty Deathcore band over Agalloch... Which will never happen. :p
Or Slipknot.

keep in mind this is just one old man's opinion here: 
1st wave:
Black Sabbath
Deep Purple
Cream
Kiss

2nd wave:
Venbom
Slayer
Destruction
Suicidal Tendencies

3rd wave:
Behemoth
Living Sacrifice
The Crucified
