Just like with death metal I have difficulty enjoying the plain vanilla genre, but I've heard subgenres and black metal mixed with other genres that I enjoy. So I guess sometimes.

My favorite genre. I traveled to Osaka this year to see Beherit and Blasphemy live, and Ive seen tons of classic bands in Texas over the past decade such as Varathron, Mortuary Drape, Demoncy, Emperor, and way more.

Yes, but I'm more of a symphonic black metal fan. The band Singularity comes to mind.

I don't understand the fixation on satanic themes with metal. Like all their cover art is demons and skulls and whatnot. Why do they all have to do the same thing?
This is where cool people write stuff.

It's edgy and fun. The edge is part of the appeal. The fact that the second-wave bands that really defined the genre in the 90s were largely from nice, cushy Scandinavian countries makes it even funnier.
Currently playing: Tales of the Abyss (PS2), Sands of Destruction (DS)

They dont, but the satanic stuff is cool imagery. The music is dark, so dark themes like death make sense.

Yes, not my favourite sub genre of metal but I still like it a fair bit. Haven't listened to much black metal or death metal lately though, been on way more of a heavy/power listening spree for the past while.

They dont

in fact black metal in particular is often focused on nature and the human condition

Sometimes but I haven't been able to get nearly as into it as death or thrash

Incidentally I listened to a lot of Immortal last night. Pure Holocaust and At the Heart of Winter. Classic.

I like first wave black metal. Stuff like Venom and Bathory.

https://youtu.be/0u-qmfUFeXI?si=OmqEbZVb6KZ1J5Ck

I also like some other metal genres mixed with black metal. Like this:

But straight black metal. No not really.

I can respect this, unless you count Darkthrone as straight black metal. A Blaze in the Northern Sky was partially straight black metal and black metal with death metal.

Yeah not really. Believe me I feel like I tried. I have that album as well as Emperor- In the Nightside Eclipse and every so often I give them a spin. It's not that I even hate them...I just feel nothing when they're done playing. I know that people love them and that's why I keep coming back to them every so often. I want to hear what they're hearing, but I just don't get it. I think it just might not be for me. I won't even bother telling you how I feel about Burzum....lol.

not a metal historian but i've heard a lot of it, especially early black metal, is a response to the religious happenings in europe at the time. a lot of music shares lyrical themes and content tho? par for the course to be influenced by something, make that something, and have similarities to that something. it's not just metal.

I'm really into black metal-inspired screamo like Orchid and City of Caterpillar and pg.99.

Ok maybe not "all", but whenever CE posts a metal thread it's full of that sort of imagery.

I stole my pfp from this experimental black metal band, Terra Tenebrosa. They used to be members in an old post punk band called Breach, which is probably the only reason I know about them. Both bands are pretty great.

is this an issue? religious? i don't even notice the satan stuff anymore. i'm not really staring at album arts all day or deciphering lyrics when i listen to harsh vocal metal.

i don't think these guys were quite black and roll but i thought of them and i miss them

Yeah, I'm more into death or thrash.

One comment I saw a long time ago was "If the vocals sound like The Cookie Monster, it's death metal. If they sound like a Ringwraith, it's black metal." ^_^

One of my favourite albums of the year is a black metal band from Canada.

It may even take the #1 spot. While I do like black metal, I can't remember the last time a black metal album was my AotY.

Spectral Wound - At Wine-Dark Midnight in the Mouldering Halls
