Noise. A good definition of it.

Loud noise. A better definition.

This type of music is based entirely upon distortion and double bass drumming. Take this out and you only have weird inhuman throaty noises for vocals which try to convey political and social rebellion for the pseudo rebels who are actually unpopular loners and who want to "be different".

Also practices related to killing animals and burning religious books, which if seen objectively, have nothing to do with music whatsoever. Most of them also have something to do with satanic cults which is again a cover up for loners who cant get laid and blame god for it. And yeah, the people performing this noise have to put on make up. Nobody knows why.
Vocalist : Aaaaarrrrghh...laaarr...faaaaaaaaa....(incoherent throaty growling noises)

The worst genre of metal and probably all of music out there besides rap and country. All black metal is is just a gimmick. It's a genre of metal where talentless people with a guitar and drumset can get a record deal and produce awful noise. It usually consists of losers who dress up like goths. The band must use the following: very shitty recording and mixing, absolutely no form of bass, a very distorted incorehent treble guitar, shitty drum beat, and a vocalist who sounds like he's a vulture or vomiting(must always be incoherent at all costs). Black metal gives metal a bad name and should be abolished. I have no clue why people actually like it. Look you fucktards just because a band gains some popularity doesn't mean they sold out. It just means more people appreciate them and their fanbase is growing. Bands like Burzum are underground for a reason, because he is so fucking bad.

My friend told me to download Burzum, so I did. At first I thought it was a joke band, just a spoof on metal. The guy sings so bad he actually coughs in his songs because he sucks. I looked him up and found out he is a real band. What the fuck is wrong with you people?
Out of all the awful bands that is black metal, Venom, is the one I can really enjoy. As a fan of metal, this is a disgrace. They should just rename Black Metal to crap metal, because it's just that, crap.

Shitty, piss poor production, metal. Listened to by goths or people that are far too "evil" to be caught listening to death metal. Most hate any bands that are "untr00" (ex:dimmu borgir).

Cradle of Filth it an prime of example of true black metal
haha, just kidding, but seriously, black metal blows asshole.

you will catch black metal bands wearing queer ass corpse paint, lots of leather with spikes/nails everywhere, and leather guard to hold in their enourmous unholy gut, a pentagram,inverted cross necklace, and a huge belt/knee pads with inverted crosses on them. satan doesn't even like these queers.

A typical blackmetal bandsname will be something like "abolished" or "dark garden" or "satan's children" or some gay shit always with a logo you can't read for shit with needless distorted letters with an upside down cross hanging from the bottom or one of the letters put over a pentagram.

again you must remeber black metal is extremely homo-riffic.

The worst form of music ever. Not to mention the so called "black metal" clothing people wear.
"Do you like black metal?"
"Nah. I hate wearing those stupid robes"

A bullshit genre of what some people consider music. The lyrics consist of random screeming about satanism, death, macabre, ect. Band members are decked out in black leather (lots of it), spikes, nails, studds, fudge-packer paint (oops, I mean "corpse paint"), ect. The fanbase is full of non-comformist, gothic, satanic, nazi fucks. Black metal fans should find Jesus and find some deacent bands such as The Doors, Pearl Jam, Widespread Panic, Keller Williams, Ani Difranco, The Dave Matthews Band, The Grateful Dead, Tori Amos, Xavier Rudd. The list goes on and on of non-angry or satanic bands. So, all black metal fans out there, go fuck yourselves!!!
Black metal fan: Let's go burn down a church and fuck some nuns.

Human Being: Die you sick fuck!!!(shoots black metal fan)

The evil twin of death metal. Black metal is the music of the unforgiving and those who are devoted to magic and or Satan. Black metal is far more dangerous than death metal because unlike death metal, black metal can cause temporary retardation, instant need for Satanism, the need for shrooms and other trip drugs, the want to burn a bible, suicide, murder, slowly tearing yourself apart, and fear of the dead. But those immune to it sometimes find it more appealing and beautiful than normal death metal. WARNING! NEVER BACKMASK BLACK METAL!
Give an emo kid this shit and you'll be cleaning flesh and blood forever. Most preppies generally hate this music because their friend tore their head off while it played. Most kids that backmask black metal end up inside out and morbidly raped by their own tongue.
See death metal if you want more info.

What was once fantastic music enjoyed by a handful of rabid loyalists that has become more of a fashion statement recently that a music. Disenfranchised Caucasian kids flock to this as it is predominantly Caucasian and gives them an outlet to feel superior to the other kids that actually have futures. Remember, watch MTV2 and Metalapocalypse (if I said it wrong, good!), shop at Hot Topic, and play Guitar Hero III and soon you'll be more "black metal" than your friends who are also desperately trying to embrace this disgraced music by wearing Cradle of Filth and Dimmu Borgir shirts every time they step out of the house!
PoSeRkId: Hey, cool shirt! Is that a black metal band?

BitterOldMetalhead: No, jerkass, it's an independent film I'm directing.
