You talk like someone who hasn't explored the genre at all and has just checked out Immortal videos on youtube.Godflesh Fiend wrote:Oh ok....make that 101%![]()
I do admire Black Metal for the hilarious factor though.
Get 'Diadem of 12 Stars' by Wolves in the Throne Room, 'Genevieve' by Velvet Cacoon and 'Autumn Aurora' by Drudkh (and I haven't even named my favorite black metal band and album yet) and until you do any such thing, you are not allowed to have an opinion on black metal.
Black metal is by far the most adventurous type of music metal has had to offer so far. Moreso than Neurosis, or Godflesh or god knows what else. No type of music can have majestic, beautiful melodies and combine them with aggression like black metal can and there is no music that can be as soothing as noisy as black metal is.
Meh, may as well mention the band/song that makes everyone love bm:
