deriving from the defintions of spiritual blackness and heavy metal music, black metal is evil, anti-Light, lyrics sang and/or shouted over neo-classical nordic and islandic music played by a band of musicians that contains guitars, bass, drums, keyboards/synthesizers, and many other various orchestra instruments. it's origin is unknown. also referred to as viking metal or ice metal.

Complicated, intense, fast-paced instrumentals. Often accompanied, but not always, with references to death and satan, probably to give the band an excuse to use some really good sounding guitar riff they heard somewhere. Some people can't tell one death metal song from another, but they probably rarely ever listen to it.

a sad excuse for metal music makes people believe that all metal is screaming and people who wear too much black and want to cut your head off. Take the devil sign to extreme and actually worship the devil will usually have odd hair and odd faces
anything that sucks and screams alot like deatttttttttttthhhhhh is on the way YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The most irritating genre of metal to ever grace this planet. The bands steal from Iron Maiden's and Dio's catalog and add cheesy Lord of the Rings and other fantasy bullshit to their music. The music consists of a bunch of repetitive power chords, some guy who does a shitty job at falsetto vocals and sounds like he's getting raped in the ass, and a bunch of other transvesdites. Possibly the most hated genre along with nu-metal, metalcore, and emocore.

The devil's music! By the power of the Lord our God and all his followers we will banish this... Heavy metal, this breed of horrid dissonance! In it's place we will put in significant, more family oriented heavy metal and rock bands, such as the John Coltrane Trio, or Smashmouth! Thank God that bands such as Iron Maiden or Slayer have been banished forever and will never see the light of day again. At least this new metal (nu metal for some of you more trendy followers) and emo have taken over the genre in the eyes of the public, and that those who watch MTV will not be affected. However, there is still a population of those who still listen to this horrid music, so we must be strong and have faith. THE END IS NEAR, REPENT, REPENT, AND FOR GOD'S SAKES DON'T GROW YOUR HAIR OUT.
