Black Metal (album)

	Black metal music
		Black metal generally consists of heavily distorted, extremely fast guitar playing, screamed vocals, and fast drumming.
		Black metal congealed in its current form through the influence of Norwegian bands such as Darkthrone, Burzum, Mayhem, Immortal and Emperor, who began with the earlier style and introduced elements from mainstream heavy metal, classical music and hardcore punk and popularized the style to a growing underground audience.
		Black metal enthusiasts also started to terrorize other notable "death metal" bands that were touring their country or in neighboring countries, on the basis of their lack of apparent "evilness".

	Black metal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The seeds of fl metal were planted in the early 1980s, known as the "First Wave", the earliest inspiration being that of the British band Venom.
		Although Venom cannot be credited as a true fl metal band or the sole founders of the genre, they were a major influence and one of the first bands to use Satanic and dark lyrical themes in their music.
		Black metal is generally held to embrace anti-christian sentiment, misanthropy, nihilism, Paganism, Satanic imagery, as well as in some cases racism and nationalism.

		The starting point for symphonic fl metal was the early-'90s sound of Norwegian fl metal, specifically the wing of bands that employed sorrowful, melodic keyboard lines as a counterpoint to their furious assaults.
		Black metal groups looking to push past the inherent limitations of the form began de-emphasizing the guitar and adding elements of progressive rock (primarily psychedelic space-rock bands like Pink Floyd) and goth metal, with its emphasis on chilling, eerie texture.
		The symphonic fl metal movement remains somewhat limited, partly because of its epic ambitions and partly because it isn't traditionally metallic, but its fascinating synthesis of influences made it an instantly identifiable alternative in underground metal at the turn of the millennium.

	National Socialist Black Metal (NSBM) SPLC Report
		The majority of fl metal fans, of course, are not threatening to burn down their neighborhood church and are not active neo-Nazis.
		Some metal bands were offshoots of punk rock and promoted independent thought and action, while others appealed to the dark side, pushing the envelope in their lyrics, performances and lifestyles to the edge.
		Another example of the confluence of Skins and fl metal is found in the racist Polish band Graveland, whose first album is "Heeding the Call of the Blood." Graveland is composed of a typical fl metal enthusiast, corpse paint and all, and a Skinhead.

	History Of Black Metal - Britannia Infernus
		Black metal is whatever you want it to be...just think of a number, double it and hey, presto, it's fl and inventive.
		Apart from the obvious Satanic imagery, Black Metal is an institution built on the rise of extreme metal in the eighties and solidified by the very real evil of the Norwegian Black Metal explosion of the early nineties.
		In all extreme metals sub-genre's' Black Metal is also one of thee few havens for right wing/ neo nazi purists who are thankfully few and far between and mostly emanate from the former eastern block countries.

	Freemuse: Malaysia: Islamic authority bans black metal
		Black metal culture is unacceptable for Muslims and can cause listeners to rebel against the the country's prevailing religion,” he stated.
		He did not clarify the penalties for being a member of a fl metal band, and also didn't clarify whether it would be regarded an offense to attend fl metal concerts.
		The issue of fl metal's affect on the country's mostly moderate Muslim population was brought to the public's attention after a New Year's Eve bust on a fl metal concert in Kuala Lumpur at a club in Jalan Kelang Lama, resulting in hundreds of unlawful arrests for suspected drug use and other crimes.

	Satanism and Black Metal
		Black metal finally went from an idea to an institution in June of 1992 when the Fantoft stave church in Norway was burnt to the ground, allegedly by Varg Vikernes of the one-man band Burzum.
		Though fl metal does fairly well in Europe, it failed to touch the mainstream in the U.S. This contributed greatly to its being a form of rebellion, for what is obscure and unknown is usually feared.
		Black metal is certainly not for everyone, evidenced by its position in the underground instead of the mainstream.

	Ultimate Metal Reviews - Expanding Horizons: Black Metal / Immortal
		Norwegian Black Metal is a term that is likely known to many metal fans.
		It is important to emphasize Norwegian because while Venom coined the phrase "Black Metal" with its 1982 release, the sound is considerably different to the brand of music that is considered Black Metal by today's standards.
		While the fans call them Black Metal, the band does not associate with the term for the most part because they do not feel their music needs to be labeled as anything other than Metal.

		A second wave of Norwegian bands followed, and the Swedish scene came to be dominated by the so-called "Gothenburg sound," which essentially married ultra-heavy but memorable riffs and death-style vocals to more traditional song structures and an audible influence from the New Wave of British Heavy Metal.
		When attention first focused on Norway's almost cartoonishly violent fl metal scene in the mid-'90s, Mayhem were dubbed its godfathers, but most of the critical accolades were bestowed upon Emperor, whose musical innovations have had more impact on the genre than any other band.
		Norwegian fl metal was rife with anti-Christian sentiment,...

	National Socialist Black Metal (NSBM) SPLC Intelligence Report Error List
		Black metal dictates a pride in ancient cultures, which can only exist by being distinct from all other cultures.
		Moynihan and Blood Axis, an industrial band with no ties to fl metal except Moynihan's journalism in "Lord of Chaos," have repeatedly stated they are not a racist, political or white supremacist band.
		There is no evidence that the people creating fl metal are not primarily fans, and secondarily ideologues, so it is evident that fl metal developed a fascist ideology rather than accepting one from external sources.

		And, as far as the Norwegian media are concerned, when it comes to Black Metal all roads lead to Mayhem, whose terrible and bloody history eclipses the debauchery of even the most hardened rock bands.
		With his long, dyed fl hair and a tuft of beard that curls underneath his chin which he is for ever absent-mindedly stroking, he looks like a Black Metal dandy.
		Vikernes gave a gloating interview in which he claimed that the Black Metal scene, having effectively declared war on Christianity and Norwegian society, was responsible for some eight church burnings so far and intended to continue its campaign of terror.

		The epithet, "True Norwegian Black Metal," may not apply to Immortal in its current incarnation, but the fact remains that the classification never truly fit the Bergen-based outfit anyway.
		Where Damned in Black's mid-paced heavy metal-influenced fl metal was catchy but lacked a definite edge, Sons of the Northern Darkness, penned after the title of Immortal and Marduk's infamous two-part jaunt across Europe in 1994-95, displays a more vitriolic Immortal, one that isn't afraid to show its fangs and unpleasant demeanor.
		Moreover, when fl metal is performed with this level of conviction and talent, it's not difficult to hear why Immortal have basically marched forward into their own musical space.

	Metal-Rules.com: Concert Reviews - Mayhem & Rotten Sound
		The Norwegian fl metal legends Mayhem have always been known for quite a controversial, frightening and above all shocking reputation for gigs and of course for the non band activities during their career.
		But before the Norwegian fl metal legends were allowed to get on the stage to declare the war of deathcrush, the domestic crust grind core outfit Rotten Sound opened the night by unleashing a real grinding terrorizing set and definitely pulverized the audience.
		But it could be bet the audience mostly came down to witness their stage show and of course the fl metal legends themselves in action more than listening to the stuff.

	Mayhem - Inhuman Black Metal
		Resurrectors of Black metal they with Bathory evolved the style from oldstyle power-chord carping (Venom, Celtic Frost) to newly nihilistic and feral styles of simplicity and oblivion while not yet shaking the pervasive heavy metal influence of older bands.
		Clumsy fusions of undefined heavy metal ideas mixed with the hardcore and industrial concepts of dissonant entropy, these songs are riffs first and as development form that simple concepts of violence.
		Without advancing beyond the first generation of fl metal except in gestures of future musicality, Mayhem innovated a style which inspired many others and their primary contributions of rhythm guitar remain unmatched today for severity and concussive resolution.

	Black metal history
		Black metal isn't as far and away as you may think it is...Actually, you may even know one fl metal band, even though you think you don't...
		VENOM had already started to use satanic and blasphemous lyrics, like today's fl metal, and were the first ones to use it this way...A lot of bands had Satan in their mind at that time, but it wasn't the same with them.They were just trendies who had fun selling albums...
		Today, fl metal bands come from all over the globe, but at one time, it was almost unknown to individuals out of the frozen landscapes of Norway and Sweden.

	Ancient - Black Metal
		Most of us in the present time cannot imagine this band not being terrible overblown gothic heavy metal, but they were once great, and this compilation of 7" tracks and the undernoticed EP "Trolltaar" from 1995 is convincing in establishing the strength and vitality of this second-wave Norwegian act.
		Staying within fl metal and straying toward a filtered and nearly technically-credible sound, Ancient venture closer to mainstream music with a Uriah Heep styled concept and aesthetic in roomy songs which borrow from rock and blues to flesh out their ballad-structured lyrics.
		Trying to take fl metal in a gothic direction with melodramatic, theatrical narrative to epic styled metal, Ancient extend the concept which was stretched thin on their last album past the breaking point.

		It was the official Norwegian Black Metal drumkit until I bought it, I believe: It was probably the best drumkit anoyone in the early Black Metal scene had at their disposal, so that was the reason it was hired by so many bands.

	Darkthrone Biography/Discography
		The band was originally formed in 1986 as a death metal outfit by Ivar Enger (guitar), Dag Nilsen (bass) and Gylve Nagell (drums), under the name Black Death.
		Skjellum and Enger then famously decided that death metal had become "too fashionable" and engineered a complete change of style and image to become a fully Satanic fl metal band, complete with corpse-paint, warp-speed riffing, high-pitched cackling vocals and the expected sinister keyboards.
		The sleeve notes also contained the dedication "This album is for the Norwegian Black Metal Mafia", which aroused a little controversy owing to the church-burning activities of a semi-mythical group of Oslo vandals called the Inner Circle at the time.

		Starting in the early Eighties as a gimmick-flavored synthesis of classic Metal's dark, horror-film aesthetics with raw thrash music, Black Metal has evolved into a widespread, harsh-sounding subgenre whose lyrics and imagery invoke occultism, misanthropy and severe anti-Christian sentiments.
		In Norway, a small but fervent underground Black Metal scene quickly grew violent around 1992, as members of well-known bands in that country became involved in a wave of church burnings, suicide, and murder.
		Norwegians Dimmu Norgir rock big arenas and occassionally cover Accept with a dramatic, ballad-esque Black Metal that is extremely funny to listen to.

		Originally, Poland's death metallers Decapitated was supposed to be involved in the tour, but pulled out for various reasons and were replaced by Manatark.
		Next was the Estonian Manatark, being a little bit mysterious, but an interesting dark/fl metal combo at least for me. The opening 2-3 tracks appeared to be interesting, but the excessive running time of most of the other songs more or less ruined the main interest toward the band's darkish material.
		The Norwegian fl metal cultists apparently were willing to rely more on their fl metallic Armageddon approach by doing a set covering their long career on this long European tour.
