Black metal is an extreme subgenre of heavy metal music. It often uses fast tempos, shrieked vocals, highly distorted guitars played with tremolo picking, blast beat drumming, raw recording, and unconventional song structure.
During the 1980s, a few thrash metal bands formed a prototype for black metal. This so-called "first wave" included bands such as Bathory
, Hellhammer
, Celtic Frost and Sarcófago.
A "second wave" arose in the early 1990s, spearheaded by Norwegian bands such as MAYHEM
, Burzum
, Darkthrone, Immortal. This scene developed the black metal style into a distinct genre.
Black metal has been met with hostility from mainstream culture, mainly due to the MISANTROPHIC and ANTI-CHRISTIAN standpoint of many artists. Moreover, a few of the genre's pioneers have been linked with CHURCH BURNING
or MURDER. For these, and other reasons, black metal is often seen as an UNDERGROUNG form of music.
Black metal guitarists usually favour high-pitched guitar tones. Typically, the guitar is played with much use of fast picking..When writing music, guitarists often use scales, intervals and chord progressions that yield the most dissonant, fearful and ominous sounds. Guitar solos and low guitar tunings are rare in black metal.
The bass guitar is rarely used to perform stand-alone melodies. It is not uncommon for the bass guitar to be inaudible
[4] or to homophonically follow the bass lines of the electric guitar. Typically, drumming is fast-paced and uses double-bass and/or blast beat techniques; although basic drumming is not uncommon.
Black metal songs often stray from conventional song structure and often lack clear verse-chorus sections. Instead, many black metal songs contain lengthy and repetitive instrumental sections.
