#ThursdayFiveList asks for songs that are the definition of the genre with; #GenreQuintessence. Let’s challenge for myself: all subgenres of #BlackMetal!

Venom - Black Metal; let’s start with the very definition of the genre. Though now I’d call it #ProtoBlack https://song.link/t/63889382

Immortal - All Shall Fall; For me this is what #ScandinavianBlack sounds like https://song.link/t/106185779

Satyricon - Mother North; While this sounds more like 'trve kvlt' black https://song.link/t/68002628

Yellow Eyes - Warmth Trance Reversal; This is top tier #USBM https://album.link/t/137000743

Hellripper - The Nuckelavee; All hail the king of #BlackAndRoll https://song.link/t/260749573

Here's my entry for the #ThursdayFiveList theme of #GenreQuintessence songs that you think are a prime example of that genre.

Today's #ThursdayFiveList theme is #GenreQuintessance

Five tracks that perfectly represent their genre, that make you go "yup, that's definitely [that genre]" when you hear them.

They can be as famous or as obscure as you like, music that defined a genre itself, or a perfect reification of an established form by a later musician.

You can choose five perfect examples of a single genre, or showcase the epitome of a different genre with each choice.

EDIT: #GenreQuintessence, correctly spelled this time, is also today's hashtag.
