The genre has grown to be very diverse since its inception, so it can be hard to make generalizations beyond that, but its defining musical charactaristics tend to include fast tempos driven by blastbeat drumming, high-pitched electric guitars that are often played with tremolo pickingnote A guitar-playing technique where a string is struck multiple times in quick succession, creating a rapid-fire line of notes, long and/or unconventional song structures, dark and dissonant melodies and chord progressions, and high-pitched shrieking vocals, usually with lyrics concerning anti-Christianity, Satanism, paganism, nature, misanthropy, depression or fantasy. Black Metal musicians are also known for their theatrics, often donning creepy-looking face paint and Scary Impractical Armor for live preformances that are saturated with dark or satanic stage imagery to enhance the music's "evil" qualities. However, one should keep in mind that these are just very broad descriptors, and many bands in the genre can experiment with or fall outside these generalizations. The genre is also infamous for the aggressively low-fidelity recording quality that characterized the sound of many of its most famous bands. This was largely unintentional in the beginning, more a product of early bands' deeply underground existence nessecitating very DIY production and distribution of their records (a cassette deck and a cheap tape recorder lying around was often all they had to work with), but as Black Metal grew in popularity, this lo-fi sound of its pioneers became a defining element of the raw and harsh sound. This is not a constant however, as plenty of other Black Metal bands, particularly newer ones as well as those who play more theatrical variations such as Symphonic Black Metal, prefer more conventional high-fidelity production and instead try to articulate the 'raw' qualities through the music itself. The roots of black metal stretch back to the early 1980s, with Venom's 1982 album Black Metal obviously being the Trope Namer and one of the key Trope Makers of the subgenre's sound and image alongside other bands of the era like Bathory, Hellhammer, Celtic Frost and Mercyful Fate. Who exactly was more important among these acts in creating Black Metal has been a long-running Base-Breaker in the metal community, so be warned. That being said, Bathory is most recognized as the genre's prime mover even if Venom predated them, since Bathory established many of the characteristics of the genre that would define subsequent imitators. A "second wave" started in the late 80s/early 90s, with bands such as Mayhem, Darkthrone, Burzum, Immortal Emperor, Dissection, Rotting Christ, and Varathron. This tends to be what most people think of when they hear the term "Black metal", since the bands of this era became the most popular (which is rather ironic considering how obsessed they also were with being intentionally unappealing to the mainstream) and the most infamous. Most modern black metal was built upon the groundwork laid by bands during this time period, and it began its worldwide spread starting with American bands such as Von and Profanatica popping up. Following a series of church burnings associated with black metal musicians and the murder of Euronymous of Mayhem by Burzum mastermind Varg Vikernes, the Norwegian black metal scene received considerable attention from the mainstream media, which is where much of the genre's infamy originates. Immortal is arguably the last of the major "Second-Wave" Norwegian Black Metal bands to still play black metal; most of their closest musical contemporaries left the genre altogether, as Darkthrone metamorphosed into a Traditional Heavy Metal/Crust Punk outfit while Satyricon gave up the genre in favor of "Black Rock", a fusion of black metal and hard rock. Enslaved, who resisted classification as a black metal band from the start, around the turn of the century started performing black metal-influenced progressive metal, which purists would not consider to be "true" black metal but nonetheless gained them a worldwide audience. Members of Immortal themselves formed a "new" band (adding two members) in 2006 named "I" and released the critically-acclaimed album Between Two Worlds, which was one of the foundations for the "Black Rock" sound into which other bands (notably Satyricon) augmented their music; however, I has been inactive for over a decade as of this writing. As the genre proliferated after gaining a worldwide audience, many started experimenting with the typical conventions of black metal and incorporating influences from other forms of music beyond metal. Thus, the labels of post-black metal avant-garde/experimental black metal emerged to describe bands such as Arcturus, Sigh, Solefald, Borknagar, In the Woods..., Ulver, Fleurety, Agalloch, Peccatum, Ved Buens Ende and others. Although they are all very diverse and individualistic in terms of style (some of these bands are additionally classified as everything from Progressive Black Metal to Neofolk), they are united in their tendency of taking black metal's dark and chaotic sound and brooding atmosphere and applying it beyond the frontier of metal.note A caveat should be noted about the term "post-black metal", as in recent years it has come to have two distinct meanings which are not interchangeable; the older meaning of the term represents to black metal what Post-Punk does to punk, namely using elements of black metal for purposes which are not necessarily themselves "black metal", while the newer meaning of the term refers to a fusion of black metal elements with Post-Rock. While some bands fit under both meanings of the term, a rather large percentage do not. Metal bands of other subgenres such as Death Metal and Speed Metal have also taken to lifting elements from black metal and incorporating it into their own sound, which has given rise to "Blackened" sub-subgenres such as Blackened Death Metal and Blackened Speed Metal among many others. Thanks to a focus on Satanic (or just anti-Christian) lyrics and imagery among some of the most popular black metal bands, the mainstream media tends to frown upon the genre, but themes of fantasy (ie. Tolkien), paganism, and folklore are also common, as are explorations of mental struggles such as depression due to black metal's inherently somber sound. Some black metal bands also base their lyrics around politics, and reflecting the extremity of the music, the political ideologies expressed are usually extreme too - either fascism or Nazism with "National Socialist Black Metal" (NSBM), or more recently, leftism and other forms of radical egalitarianism with "Red (and) Anarchist Black Metal" (RABM). Black metal rarely features rigid verse-chorus structures, generally favoring a more abstract style that features extended musical sections and repetitive guitar riffs. Guitar solos are rarer in black metal than in other metal genres, although there are plenty of exceptions (i.e. Peste Noire, Drudkh, Shining, Enslaved, etc.; in short, the more musically progressive a black metal act, the likelier they are to feature guitar solos). As mentioned above, black metal often features very lo-fi, primitive recording quality reminiscent of the early days of the genre, although some bands favor more professional recording techniques. While the high-pitched harsh vocal style of black metal (a Type 3 Metal Scream) is nigh-omnipresent across the genre, many bands still feature clean vocals, used either in conjunction with more extreme vocals or occasionally as the primary vocal style. Low-pitched death growl vocals (Type 2) are exceedingly rare, and when they do appear, it's almost never for the full song. Unlike most other artists from other forms of music, there are many black metal bands who do not play live. In fact, many black metal "bands", such as Burzum and Xasthur, are one-man studio projects, and as professional-quality music recording and distribution have become more and more accessible with personal computers and the internet, the majority of black metal acts from The New '10s onward have been solo projects. Even many bands with full line-ups also prefer to avoid playing live. However, those black metal bands who do play live are also known for their theatric live shows that often play up the evilness and gruesomeness of the music, with the shows of bands such as Mayhem and Gorgoroth being particularly notorious (once Gorgoroth played live on Polish TV on a stage surrounded by barbed wire with severed pigs' heads impaled on stakes and surrounded by life-size wooden crucifixes with blood-splattered nude female models in hoods tied on...something you definitely won't see on U.S. prime time television). Watain probably outdoes other bands on this: their shows are famous for pigs' blood being sprayed all over the place. Not to be confused with Living Colour, who are African-American metal. (If you want an example of a band that qualifies as both, however, Zeal & Ardor might be your thing.) |

The Furnaces of Palingenesia (2019) is a scathing deconstruction of totalitarianism along the lines of Nineteen Eighty-Four. The many examples of self-aware irony it contains were a large clue on this count even before the Bardo Methodology interview clarified their intentions. Furnaces argues that humanity's innate corruption means that government by humans will inevitably lead to corruption and chaos, a message that is certainly compatible with anarchism.note To be fair, Deathspell Omega also express scepticism of violent revolution, but most modern anarchists do not advocate violent tactics, so there is not necessarily a contradiction with anarchist thought here; however, they also describe humanity as an intrinsically violent species, suggesting that they doubt such a state of affairs will ever occur. Regardless, this album, particularly in the context of their 2019 interview, fits in this category more or less by the process of elimination; having ruled out all systems of government as intrinsically corrupt, there is really only one place to go. | |

L'Acephalenote Although they've never precisely made a secret of their political sympathies (they're literally named after a secret society formed by the French leftist Georges Bataille - already mentioned as an influence on Deathspell Omega, incidentally - and Stahlhartes Gehäuse is based around the band's critique of capitalism, bureaucracy, and industrialism by way of the German sociologist Max Weber), these have become much more explicit with more recent releases like "Mortem" and the Self-Titled Album | |

Shining (Norway, from Blackjazz onward; more than a slight case of Genre-Busting, as they also incorporate elements of Industrial Metal, fusion jazz, and numerous other styles. Blackjazz marks the point where their material becomes consistently metal-oriented; before that, most of their material was acoustic jazz or Progressive Rock, although their live shows had always incorporated quite a lot of metal influence, and a few songs on In the Kingdom of Kitsch You Will Be a Monster and Grindstone also qualify as metal, though not black metal) | |

Blut aus Nord note most of their lyrics have not been released, but the story of Fathers of the Icy Age centres around vengeance for an act of attempted genocide, which arguably places them in this category; band leader Vindsval has also expressed explicit opposition to nationalism and racism in interviews and stated that he is ideologically aligned with bands like Wolves in the Throne Room | |

Among second-wave Norwegian bands, the main ones who consistently avert this trope are Enslaved, who write almost exclusively about Nordic history and mythology, and Immortal, whose lyrics concern an imaginary world called Blashyrkh, plagued by war and suffering and ruled over by the mighty Ravendark. Both bands could also count as Token Good Teammates, since they were never involved in any of the arson, murder, or other questionable activities some of the other scene members got into, nor have they ever expressed sympathy for fascism or other questionable political ideologies. | |

It is also perhaps worth pointing out that the actual sincerity of bands who use this in the genre can vary widely. Some of them, such as Mayhem under Euronymous, Deathspell Omega, and Gorgoroth, are 100% sincere theistic Satanists. Others, such as later Mayhem and most of the first-wave bands, are using it mostly for shock value, or, like King Diamond, are the non-theistic variety of Satanist and thus don't actually believe in the existence of God and Satan. | |

Arcturusnote Note, however, that most of their albums after Aspera hiems symfonia have almost nothing to do with black metal apart from the band's ancestry. The only song between that and their initial breakup that could legitimately be called black metal is "Radical Cut" on The Sham Mirrors. Apart from that, barely any of the songs even have harsh vocals. All of their work is awesome however. Their work since their reformation has brought in more black metal influence again. | |

Sepultura (first couple of releases; changed to Death/Thrash Metal starting with Schizophrenia then Groove Metal on Chaos A.D. and Nu Metal starting with Roots, and finally a mixture of all three from Dante XXI onward) | |

Cradle of Filth (Genre Popularizer; although the more extreme metalheads and the band themselves dispute this, Cradle of Filth is perhaps the most popular symphonic black metal band in existence, and maybe the most popular black metal band period, even if they do represent a more polished and goth-influenced variation of the sound) | |

Jute Gyte (an incredibly prolific project; depending on the release and even on the track, his work can also qualify as noise, ambient, electronic, or a number of other genres, but probably the majority of it has at least one foot rooted in black metal. Starting with Discontinuities, he began basing his music on 24 Equal Divisions of the Octave [i.e., with an extra note halfway between every half-step of the traditional 12-note Western scale], which made it even more avant-garde and arguably heavier than it was. Overall, this is probably one of the heaviest acts on this list) | |
