⛧ Black Metal

Black Metal is an extreme genre of metal characterized by atmospheric and dark music featuring tremolo picking, fast drumming (blast beats), and harsh, menacing vocals. The lyrics often delve into themes of grim nature, occultism, death, and anti-religious sentiment. The aesthetic of black metal is accentuated by a dark image, the use of stage makeup (corpse paint) that creates a sinister appearance, and a minimalist, cold soundscape.
