So black metal is more about feeling the vibe than understanding the lyrics right? I'm trying to get into black metal but I feel like I'm missing something.
So black metal is more about feeling the vibe than understanding the lyrics right...
just see the vocals as an instrument, a instrument that growls
>he listens to the lyrics
>in metal of all fucking genres
It's all just SATAN TRVE KVLT RITUAL MASTURBATE TO KILL MYSELF bullshit. Just see it as another instrument. A medium through which to carry a melody. Most of the interesting stuff is in the riffs and drums.
most good black metal usually is accompanied by good lyrics, anyone saying otherwise is a troglodyte
See
I saw it, you troglodyte.
lyrics do not matter in black metal, you can barely understand them anyway
keep telling yourself that
Black Metal is all about being edgy and hating people
Meh imo the history and culture surrounding the early days of black metal is way more interesting than the music itself. Just watch until the light takes us
lyrics don’t matter in 99% of genres
>caring about lyrics at all
How to spot a turbopleb
it does for those it do and it do not for those it don't
kys
it really isn't if you read the lyrics
sure
Reminder that black metal vocals arent called growls, screams, or shrieks.
Its croaks, you plebs.
The lyrics are just a vehicle for the vocal melody, don't worry about what the lyrics are just groove with it.
If you actually look up the lyrics you'll find one of two things a) edgy shit b) LOTR fan poetry.
wrong
>the lyrics don't matter but i will read them anyway
it's exasperated sighing
the lyrics are a bonus, they aren't necessarily important but the music is the most important thing
we've reached an agreement then
That movie kinda fucking sucked desu
honestly, just listen to bathory or other black trash, black metal itself is just a bunch of edgelords playing one riff for 7 minutes in the shittiest recording quality possible. For example this song is considered a masterpiece of black metal
youtube.com
whats wrong with it?
They are a bunch of larping faggots that took it way to far.
based euronymous
Darkthone have really catchy riffs.
it is you pleb
You have no idea what you're talking about
>have friend who makes black metal
>claims that you can't be into black metal and be a truly normal person
Is he right or was he being edgy?
It's the current defacto metal sound. Unless he liked it at LEAST 8 years ago he's just part of that bandwagon, so the latter.
He started his band like 12 years ago
well i'm into black metal and i'm a sperg
If you have to try to get into something its not for you
ITT: faggots who just saw lords of chaos
I am not ready for a new wave of shit heads.
Nobody cares. Die.
>more about feeling the vibe than understanding the lyrics right
I barely listen to any metal let alone black metal but this is basically the ultimate judge for me with how I assess any music with words
>it really isn't if you read the lyrics
If you read the lyrics you will realize that Black Metal is all about being edgy and hating people.
fuck off and listen to kpop then pussy
>replies in edgy and hateful fashion
this shit writes itself
Listen to this album everybody! It's good!
most of the bands are garbage so you just gotta try different ones and it's easy to spot which ones are interesting and not trash
not my fault you're a huge pussy
Lyrics are not music
no its not
Ellende, even the album after that, is very bland and has nothing on better albums
Black metal is often a misunderstood genre where the artist tries to convey a certain atmosphere or feeling that they were feeling, so often the lyrics do come out as edgy but if you get behind the melodies and are in the right state of mind it’s a beautiful genre.
Truly based, couldn't of said it any better user
When I'm sulking and listening to DSBM I like to read the lyrics. There's something therapeutic about reading someone's edgy misanthropic poetry that could have been written by a 10th grader.
I like it :). I'd consider them DSBM because of the wailing vocals and I really like symphonic black metal, so they're a nice blend to me. Do you have any symphonic DSBM to recommend?
I feel you dog. I also love (real) screamo for that exact reason.
This is my genuinely honest opinion. I really think that Black Metal is one of a number of metal subgenres that primarily exist for the sake of preference falsification (saying you like something to look cool, like scotch).
The only thing I've observed that separates black metal from modern death metal is all the satanic stuff and the Norwegian origin.
Whenever someone cites "true" black metal, it is always a venom song recorded on a cassette in the 80s that would sound like shit even if it wasn't produced by putting a cat orgy on a midi controller.
Don't force it. Just memorize some album/song names and tell people you like black metal and you are about as ahead as anyone else on the subject.
Or if you really wanna piss people off, say you like "Act of Depression" by Underoath. Its bound to trigger "true" black metal fans.
If yo want something edgier to listen to because you're in a bad mood, just surf around your suggestions or ask for recs.
Apex Predator is pretty good by Napalm Death, despite the fact that I would typically cite grindcore as another one of those metal genres that exists for the name dropping.
Good luck!
now this is some elaborate bait
this is b8 but I'm still mad
Gaytheists like you don't really get black metal though so what you say about the lyrics are null and void. You are a degenerate from the modern world, black metal lyrics appeal to an ancient spiritual mindset, a time when all men believed in gods, spirits and magick
Depression, hatred, hopelessness?
Well that escalated quickly
some of the lyrics are interesting but you really dont need to understand them to enjoy the music. especially since a lot of them arent in english
It's about riffs, poser. Leave the hall.
Yeah, Chainsaw Scumfuck says a lot about society.
go back to working on the next myfarog expansion, varg. you're wasting too much time on a degenerate, modern world website.
it's probably not for you
>caring about the lyrics
who /nsbm/ here? listening to some hate forest
Hating christianity and american imperialism in lyrics are not just being edgy but its a true expression of revolt.
Hate Forest is so, so good.
that's pretty standard thanks to the plan. actual edge/counterculture is hating muslims, jews, and leftism
Good lad
Pretty much all bands do that, fagola.
in all the time I've been listening to black metal, I don't remember hearing a single intelligeble word that wasn't in french, german or norwegian
scratch that, I remember Dead shouting "barbecue has just begun" on deathcrush
