So black metal is pretty much prog rock but with drop tuning, distortion and guttural vocals, right?

No
Christian Morris
No.
Henry Cruz
no
Joshua Davis
Not whatsoever, is this bait? The only thing you even got right is 'distortion'.
John Allen
No
Jonathan Bailey
No
Jace Jenkins
no it's surf rock with distortion, blast beats and shrieked vocals
John Sanders

Zachary Cooper
I'm betting OP is not a native speaker and thought "guttural" just means "harsh vocals" lol
John Barnes
All metal has prog DNA in it. Sabbath was basically a prog band and it’s still one of the only popular music genres that regularly strays from verse-chorus-verse structures
Sebastian Thompson
A lot of BM artists were influenced by progressive electronic and EDM as well
Xavier Allen
literally only varg was
Mason Johnson
Attila, too. And considering stuff like 'Grand Declarations of War', it's not far-fetched to assume someone in Mayhem from 1996-2004 was into it as well.

lmao that was Varg
Christian Young
Epic, except you obviously know that Varg was in Mayhem for literally a few recording sessions and that's it.
Levi Campbell
I still feel the things like long extended solo’s and the way the songs break down between chorus and verse is very similar to prog.
William Campbell
Black metal is more like punk rock ethos with a metallic costume
William Martin
no
Black Metal is literally Hair Metal with more dabs
Leo Brooks
no. krautrock combined with shoegaze, but with metal riffs, drum patterns, and vocals and recorded on a 2 track in their mom's basements would be a more apt analogy/
Brayden Myers
Black metal barely has solos.
