What makes you listen to black metal?
Hey, I'm curious to know what makes you people listen to black metal? how did you started listening to it?
1st black metal song you listened? Is there any band that as finished that you wish them to come back?
What do you think about the future of black metal?
I love all in black metal, the ideas, the atmosphere, the vocals, drums etc... I started listening to black metal when a friend of mine gave me gorgoroth - pentagram to listen. I loved it and i went right over to a store here and bought the album, since then I have bought many Black metal albums from bands like immortal, nokturnal mortum, darkthrone, carpathian forest and many more. the 1st song i listened was "under the pagan megalith" (awsome track from pentagram).
I am really excited about the idea of immortal re-union, they are one of my favorite bands, I love all their albums (but specialy pure holocaust
)
About the future, i think the good bands will always remain but new bands are needed and i don't see excelent new bands.
Here in Portugal we have bands like Lux Ferre, In Thy Flesh, Opus Draconis, Corpus Christii and more, in my opinion they are great but they don't have support to go on and this is happening all over the world.
Please post your opinions and stories
Cheers!

Black metal creates a really unique atmosphere, like no other genre is capable of. I mean stuff like Emperor, Burzum and Dark Throne but also Negura Bunget, Enslaved and others. There are just loads of bands that I don't like that just play really fast and chaotic and it doesn't have the atmosphere I'm looking for. So you gotta look for the good stuff.

Black and death metal are the only ones in metal where I'm optimistic about their future. Altough a couple of genres can surprise me sometimes like heavy metal or progressive metal. Regardless, its a lot better in variety than melodic death or fucking thrash

Nothing fresh that would make someone say "Whoa I need to listen to more black metal". Well until this year at least. Death metal is the same way. Tech death has taken over but I find it to be bloody boring. They just need some fresh blood. Which is why i'm stoked on all this new spawn coming out of the doom and sludge field of things. Holly shit is that genre progressing. Luckily it's bringing in a ton of mixed genre black metal bands. 2016 was just a good year for metal in general.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 20.12.2016 at 16:54 QFT People seem to forget that pretty much ANY genre of music is filled with copycat bands that all sound the same. Hell, a new sound becomes a genre when enough groups start doing the same thing and solidify the style as something distinct. As far as I can tell, any genre gets its fair share of stale, trite bullshit when it has had enough time to develop.

Well, weather, winter, snow, eternal darkness, midnight sun, nature, autumn rain, summer rain and all nature things,. also depression, true BM is like journey, it has atmosphere if you hold CD, booklet, you can follow it and let it go, simply let it go, all shit what live offers you and what sucks, suicide, or BM, I chose BM, and don't give up, fight to survive. All negative factors of life even this is why I listen to music generally. You can leave this world, stay in own fantasies. Let it go, get energy and emotions to get back in real life. I hardly listen st. ann bands in BM, Something what DerRoz wrote in his reviews

Written by Blasphemonk on 25.09.2017 at 13:00 Well after all MTV, VH1 and all beginner era end whit bands as Ac/Dc, Nirvama, Judas Priest, maiden and all beginner staff, 1th extreme band I found out was Cannibal Corpse, Death, and few other DM bands as I was maybe 17. In beginning I liked dm, then at age 19 I discovered BM radio, and I still was more DM fan, but at age 23 somehow,I found out DM is nothing special, BM was more as destiny, journey, place to be, because nature I live in. Then I liked DM but prefer BM, HM, DM, TM, nowadays I hardly listen DM, DM must be joung man game, houng band whit good master and mix in studio. Nowadays I can enjoy DM classics, fropm late 80'a, early 90's but genre don't mean much to me.

Started to finally listen to black metal while I was living in Canada, during the winter, went perfectly with the snow.

What makes me to listen BM? Simply: awesome relations between music, melodies (beauty) and rawness, darkness (chaos) elements. Those specific proportions make one of a kind harmony. This is why BM is so absorbing. My first BM album was Ulver - "Bergtatt".
