Blackened Death Metal 

Blackened Death Metal is a subgenre of metal music that combines elements (ideological or otherwise) of black metal and death metal. Blackened Death is usually confused with black which is understandable however there is a noticeable difference between black and blackened death. Blackened death metal may commonly utilize lower tuning than used in conventional black metal however still uses the trademark alternatively picked minor chords. You really could think about it as black metal with more bass or lower pitched black metal. Blackened death is also usually far more satanic in lyrics and imagery than standard death metal and it is also a little more thrashy. Blackened death metal is an excellent hybrid genre because it combines the most evil with the strongest and puts it into one animal, so to speak, resulting in the most serious possible music that everyone would find either scary or badass with no amusement whatsoever.
Belphegor and Behemoth are some of the most prominent Blackened Death metal bands.

There needs to be more Blackened death bands out there.

blackened 

A thrash metal masterpiece by Metallica from the album "...And Justice for All". The lyrics are about the consequences of a nuclear war (nuclear winter, thus Blackened.)

It's interesting to note that James Hetfield plays this with downstrokes only... requiring intense stamina to play this and MoP live in the same night.
Metallica opened up with Blackened last night... crazy song!

blackened shrimp 

Added permanently to the menu of all locations in and around the Gulf of Mexico through the remainder of the decade. Maybe longer.
Waitress (motioning toward the live catch display tank): "In there? Why, that's our own blackened shrimp - caught local and delivered 'fresh for these waters' just this morning. Now, how would you like that prepared? Original UK recipe or Cajun Style?"

The drum part to this song is so intense that any mortal man, other than Lars Ulrich himself, who plays this song during a jam session will notice that his or her legs fell off halfway through the song. the guitar part require 3 hands to play
Yoko: What's with the wheelchair and leg injuries?
Douche-fag: What legs? I tried playing "Blackened" by Metallica and my legs fell off.

Blacknowledgement 

This is the process by which a Black person acknowledges another black person's presence in a social environment where black people are scarce or otherwise absent. These environments include places and events like: lacrosse parties, ice hockey games, early morning classes, Russia and The Ku Klux Clan Annual General Meeting.

Blacknowledgement is a show of solidarity and support indicating to another black person that you understand their social anxiety and feel their inner torment.

A blacknowledgement can be executed using anything from a simple nod to a well executed six part, click and snap, integrated handshake. In less friendly situations, a blacknowledgement may be used as a territorial gesture. It can be used to signal to another black person that you are the resident black person in that environment and that they should cower off and find non-black friends of their own.
