Black is the night, Metal we fight
Power amps set to explode
Energy screams, magic and dreams
Satan records their first note
We chime the bell, chaos and Hell
Metal for maniacs pure
Faster than steel, fortune on wheels
Brain hemorrhage is the cure
For Black Metal
Black Metal

Black Metal
Lay down your souls to the gods Rock 'n' Roll
Freaking so wild, nobody's mild
Giving it all that you got
Wild is so right, Metal tonight
Faster than over the top
Open the door, enter Hell's core
Black is the code for tonight
Atomic force, feel no remorse
Crank up the amps, now it's night
Black Metal

Black Metal
Lay down your souls to the gods Rock 'n' Roll
Metal tenfold through the deadly black hole
Riding Hell's stallions bareback and free
Taking our chances with raw energy
Come ride the night with us, rock hard and fight
United my legions we stand
Freak hard and wild for us, give up your souls
Live for the quest Satan's band
Let's go!
Against these odds, Black Metal gods
Fight to achieve our goal
Casting a spell, leather and Hell
Black Metal gods, Rock 'n' Roll
Building up steam, nuclear screams
War-heads are ready to fight
Black leather hounds, faster than sound
Metal, our purpose in life
Power amps set to explode
Energy screams, magic and dreams
Satan records their first note

If you know him, you know why. Black Metal.

A genre of the Heavy Metal category derived from Thrash Metal through such bands as Venom, the main early defining differences between it and its father-genre being tremelo picking and 'blast-beats'; drum beats played about twice the speed as the traditional trash metal base beats (32nds as opposed to 16ths).
Taking major influence from Bathory and Venom, the ganre became largely associated with Norway through the work of Mayhem, Burzum and Dark Throne, many of the later bands categorised into the black metal genre being influenced by these three bands, and many of these bands being from Norway themselves.
Spawning from thrash metal as black and death metal did, they ran parallel. Eventually the two genres became commonly associated since they both implemented tremelo picking, blast beats, and invariably screamed vocals much of the time. This was taken into influence by some bands and the genres eventually interweaved with some projects such as Dark Throne, Profanatica, and late Emperor.
Other movements of the genre since its rising in the Norwegian metal scene have been melodic/symphonic projects such as Cradle of Filth and Dimmu Borgir, and more underground movements such as the Black Legions, which as a collective are as yet universally nameless.

Anyone who is into black metal. Black metallers often are known to appreciate Black Metal, norway, philosophy, classical music and sometimes Satan (usually it's just the band members who do the whole Satan thing.)
Although Black Metallers are considered nasty people to be around, they aren't often around due to the lack of live performances from bands. Very few bands perform live and when they do I can admit the fans go crazy but look at the anarcho-punk scene or the american rap scene? The only difference is the fact Black Metallers keep it far more underground.

Everyday joe: I don't like the idea behind this "death metal" music of yours
Black Metaller: It's called black metal and how can it be harmful if you never even heard of it?

One of the rarest forms of metal, found in the mountains of Norway. Discovered and first forged by the blacksmith Burzum.

A subgenre of heavy metal. Characteristics of black metal include typically high-pitched screaming vocals, tremolo picked guitars lacking bass and emphasising treble, and blastbeats (quadruple time drum beats). Unlike its sibling, the more thrash-based death metal, black metal concentrates more on mood and melodies (primal as they may be) instead of riffs and heaviness. The line between death and black metal can often be hazy, which is why categorizations are not really that important.
"Hmm, do I want to be mindless MTV-watching retard and buy a 50 Cent album, or a person who listens to good, well-composed, uncompromising music and buy a Dark Funeral CD."
