Midfield
f***ing hellAll metal is diabolical and listened to by people who were bullied at school. There’s no other explanation.
Love a bit off Dimmu, Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia and Death Cult Armageddon are fantastic albumsBlack metal and Death metal are not the same at all. Different guitar styles (death metal is often tuned down to D standard and has very technical riff patterns, black metal features full chords and tremolo picked riffs and many repeating patterns), different drumming styles, black metal features a lot of ambient sections etc. Only a few people burned churches down
Best black metal bands imo if anyone hasn't heard them....
Immortal
Burzum
Emperor
Dimmu Borgir (early stuff)
Summoning
Satyricon (early)
Darkthrone (first album is death metal)
Mayhem (pre first album demos featuring the vocalist Dead are the best)
Bathory
They are all old bands, some good newer ones
Grift
Hermodr
Myrkur (lots of folky elements)
Theres a YouTube channel 'Atmospheric Black Metal', you get some great stuff on there.
