Black metal is a distinct genre from death/thrash/hardcore etc., so in recognition of that fact, let's have a bm general.
What are your top 5 albums? Here are mine (topsters not working for me rn)
>Gris - Il Etait Une Foret >Burzum - Det Som Engang Var >Ulver - Bergtatt >Drudk - Blood In Our Wells >Paysage D'Hiver - Self-titled

>Black metal is a distinct genre from death/thrash/hardcore etc How so? Hardcore sure, but that's punk not metal.

>Black metal is a distinct genre from death/thrash First wave black metal was literally just thrash and "black" and "death" were often used interchangeably in the early 90s.

>inb4 "first wave isn't trve/is different for some bullshit reason
March 20, 2018 - 08:54
>More ambience >Less riffage >More blastbeats >More chord progression-based >More lo-fi >Different vocal style
etc.
Sure, there are similarities such as acoustic interludes and whatnot, but bm & dm or thrash are obviously different.

First wave *is* different though, to what most are referring to conventionally as black metal.
Post your top 5's pls (need some new shit)

>in the early 90's No they weren't. By the 90's 2nd wave black metal was already a thing, and very distinct from, and opposed to death metal.

>"black" and "death" were often used interchangeably in the early 90s Continuing this.

Holy fuck you autists. Post some albums

Differences though those may be, I fail to see how they're greater than the differences between the other subgroups of metal.

i feel like you're not a metal listener
they're literally the widest apart

Not really. Sure, Marduk isn't going to sound like Saint Vitus, but neither will Cryptopsy. I just don't know what makes BM just not another subgenre

This board is fucking hopeless

Just because Black Metal and Death Metal are similar and were used somewhat interchangably when the scene was first developing doesn't mean they aren't distinct genres.
