You wake up from a coma that started back in 2004. What music artist/band/group are you most surprised (good or bad,) by the direction they took musically over the last twenty years? (lemmy.world)

I still enjoy the second-wave stuff from time to time, but you're absolutely spot-on with what's been coming out in recent years. I'm really into groups that have kept the original BM music style but embraced modern production. A few that come to mind are Faidra, Spectral Wound, Asarhaddon, and Funeral Winds; fantastic bands that play "true" BM but have good recording quality.

Like you mentioned, the big change is just how many "crossover" bands there are, and I'm all for it. You didn't ask for suggestions, but I'm going to offer some of my favorites anyway:

Harakiri for the Sky - One of the best post-black bands.
Anomalie (shares members with Harakiri for the Sky) - BM plus what I can only call "tribal" elements.
Psyclon 9 (at least their older albums) - BM plus industrial/aggrotech.
Dawn of Ashes - See above.
Anaal Nathrakh - BM + grind + industrial + ?
Darkthrone (yes, THAT Darkthrone) - Blackened hard rock? I don't know what to call their new stuff, but it's not bad.
Gaerea - Radio-friendly BM
Kanonenfieber - Blackened melodic death metal? Maybe?
Afsky - Folk-inspired BM. Seems like this is a really popular combination.
None - DSBM, but with the exception of their filler tracks, more on the BM, less on the DS.
Ernte - Fairly traditional BM, but with female vocals.

I've heard a few of these but I'm saving the rest to listen to later! What Darkthrone was doing a few albums ago is now called "Black N' Roll" and it's its own awesome genre now!
