Black metal is a popular genre of extreme metal and the fanbase that follows the genre is growing all of the time. As with anything in history, it evolves from something else and changes as it grows. There were many bands in the 80s and early 90s that were the roots of black metal, but these 5 bands are extremely important in the history of blackmetal. There are others, but in my opinion without these bands the genre would not be what it is today. I am sure some people will disagree with this list since there are other bands that were very influential to the genre, but in my opinion these 5 bands were essential to what the genre is today.
Mercyful Fate
Von
Hellhammer (later known as Celtic Frost)
Venom
Bathory
