BLACK METAL

Black metal is dark and fast music using melodic development to express its themes. Of all the metals, this is the most communicative with the modern listener, expressing nihilism and a heroic anti-social assertion of the self. Evolving simultaneously with death metal, this genre includes all of the technique and rhythmic intensity of the former with more emotive and comprehensible poetic communication within the music.

House recommendations: Averse Sefira, Burzum, Emperor, Ildjarn, Antaeus, Graveland, and Sacramentum.
