Black Metal is the complete twist of this forum sadly. Nearly everything black metal is, power metal isn't. I love black metal though.

It's actually one of the greatest genres of all time, but few people recognize its artistic brilliance. It turned metal around, when everything was just focused on speedy chords, pentatonic solos, and lyrics based on the norm. Black Metal came in and gave metal a certain atmosphere, added keyboards, made the guitars a certain sound, not a certain tempo, and used topics so out of question at the time as lyrics.
It was cosmic... The grimness and the focus on melody and atmosphere, not just tempo, was essential to make metal rise into many forms today. Just listen to this brilliance.
Those shrieks chill you, as if Ihsahn himself was in your presence. It's no thrash metal, this is what i'd call the metal that speaks to the soul.

However, black metal is usually (on purpose) recorded to sound like shit. And 99% of the black metal I've heard has ZERO emphasis on melody. Pretty much only have heard one black metal band i like (Arthemesia) and it's not even considered 'real' black metal This is not counting viking/black metal bands.

Lol, because 99% of black metal bands are too busy trying to be "trve" I don't hate Dimmu because they're creative and at least their black metal's got some decent melodies. So what if they're not "trve", black metal isn't an elite club. Lol.

You speak truth! 'trve metal' of any type is usually inferior to bands who branch out I believe.

Should just change the name to the black metal thread.Ya i sometime hate it when a band records on purpose with poor production but some can pull it off nicely.Just because the older bands sounded like that doesn't mean all black metal has to sound like that forever.I mean the older bands didn't really have a choice in the matter...oh well heres a few bands i've been listening to lately
