RYM's Top 20 Black Metal Albums Of The 1990's

It was in the 90′s that black metal truly gained infamy. No longer just a dark form of music, it became something that a few misguided youth acted upon.  There were some larger than life characters. Crimes were committed in the name of it. Truly the art came to life. Here is how the folks at www.rateyourmusic.com ranked the top 20 black metal albums of that decade. These are not my personal selections, but it’s hard to argue with most of these.
