Murder Music - Black Metal 

TheStig ZeroZeroZero as is proper black metal

the narration too :-)

Kvlt quality

PRHILL9696 cradle of filth isn't black metal, only there first album is

Chelsea Volkina Maybe they are not completely black metal, but they are still fucking awesome!

At one time Cradle of Filth was black metal. And a damn good band.

+Chelsea Volkina I agree with you,Cradle of Filth is a joke.

PRHILL9696 Just because somethings loved and wealthy doesn't mean its good. I can rip your statement to pieces on a lot of things that are "good and wealthy" and still be bad,not just music related.

+Robert Munro I got into it when i got my hands on a vinyl from the band Nargaroth in 91? 92? i was 13-14 at the time. I still love the "primitive" oldschool underground style Black metal and i´m still buying Albums from Indie Labels every month too. ;) It´s like an addiction that i have to collect them all ^^

+Robert Munro Actually, the bands that are mention on that report called bullshit on that article, they blew the whole thing out of proportion and exaggerate a lot of facts to make them look like a bunch of baby killer satanists.

Jack Tejada what the fact that some artists were jailed for murder and church burning very exaggerated

Starscream I agree

Starscream I was thinking the same thing. They truly influenced BM. Did she call them death metal?

Hunter Campbell I think she only said that they played Death Metal, which they did initially. The unique twists they added to it is what influenced Black Metal, until later on when they decided to go Viking. Bathory never actually referred to themselves as Black Metal, the fans did, and those fans formed the iconic Norwegian bands.

Wow thanks for the info I never knew. Haha kind've reminds me of Darkthrone with their first album

In the nightside eclipse is the true definition of black metal. Incorporating keyboards and synths in just the right way to make it so atmospheric it's almost a sensory overload. Early Emperor is the greatest form of black metal that has been made.

Do a keyword search for "Extinction."

i think someone needs to tell you 5 years later that you talk a lot of dmbfck shit! and your comment is retarded as fck too thats it🤙

Satan's accountants

COVEN , Jinx Dawson es la Reina !!!

+Chris Kimmel Nope. You're wrong, in some way.

+Chris Kimmel I think he's actually an idol in the community, he talk the talk and walk the walk, the rest were just copycat crimes. I mean, the dude is still in jail. Much respect.

+Jack Tejada You're also wrong, in some way.

Varg killed black metal. He exposed it to mainstream which was intended to be underground. He killed the real creator of the trve black metal- Euronymous which controlled black metal. Then he went to jail for 15 years. Same for Faust from Emperor.. There was no control left, everyone have done anything they wanted with the Euronymous new guitar playing technique...

Well, we should not forget to look from other perspectives, and remain open minded, you're right, but, still more research is needed until you will find the bottom of "that" story.

Black metal is a pragmatic term. I think the Black part of it is about the imagery and lyrical content than where they come from. The fans can be too elitist in BM. Then complain when it never changes.....

More symphonic rather than gothic

I would say MC5 were more metal than Blue Cheer.

Much prefer tentacles of horror and tenth sub levels of suicide

Leviathan is what truly got me hooked on black metal

tsjuder- unholy paragon

Black sabbath by black sabbath, the best band ever

Vikram Shankar Music then she clarified.. at least not when they first started

Varg did it to promote his band since no one seemed to like his project. Varg was also the guy who would wear Venom's shirt without liking the band, so his satanic image was totally influenced by Euronymous who actually created and headed the scene.

I never said they were...

Yes, they made metal, I never said they were BLACK Metal..

Oh deer..

+PRHILL9696 Please get over yourself. Sabbath were the first, and thus every metal band since owes them respect. Did they invent black metal? No, others have created and perfected their own styles of metal and been pioneers in their own right, look at hammerfall or iron maiden of course for power metal, or death, morbid angel and autopsy for pioneering death metal, candlemass and witchfinder general and solitude aeturnus for doom, hell tool took metal and made it into their own signiture sound. Look at punk even, it was considered outsider music and generally speaking in order to be considered punk it needed that low-fi simplified sound. Then bad religion released suffer, which is regarded as the first ever melodic punk album.

+PRHILL9696 You keep thinking that brother. Just curious, which band do you believe best exemplifies black metal? To me that true sound that makes you feel as if you are on a frozen mountain peak, in the dead of night, with the glow of the pale moon...etc....etc...would be Emperors early full album releases, In the nightside eclipse and Anthems to the welkins at dusk, (Nightside being the pinnacle of all black metal albums in my opinion) And Arcturus' Aspera heims symfonia.

Goatwhore i think off the northern darkness tour dvd

I'm sorry but you're an idiot if you think that. Venom gave the genre it's name, it's lyrical concept, it's stage appearance, it's vocals (altho not as harsh as later bands) Even Bathory's first album shares name of songs and lyrics with venom's black metal album. Even hellhammer/celtic frost who are from Switzerland said they were inspired by venom. You are basically saying, the two biggest influences on Nor/swe black metal [bathory, celtic frost] who both were influenced by venom have nothing to owe to venom..lol

mccabedylan Well I bet they also listened to things like classical music or the beatles or whatever, that doenst mean the beatles gave birth to black metal

yea son, you are wrong.

richard salvator i'm wrong ok..It's easy to tell that bathory's first album is a clear copy of venom's black metal. They share lyrics and names of songs. Even the lead singer of Enslaved said it's stupid to not call venom black metal. But I guess you know more than him...

mccabedylan First off, show some tact. I hope you're not in grade 3. Second, sure it started with them, but the idea simply originated. Mantas specifically said they were more storytellers than spreading a message. Norwegian black metal obviously took inspiration but they really took it to the level of being about message rather than music. Venom was specifically about music and about personal meaning. Norwegian black metal is really what made the genre notorious for being about ideals, messages, etc. Venom wanted to be original in the way that most artists do, but Norwegian black metal took that to a pathological standpoint. Venom definitely should be credited for originality but I think they have little to do with the goings-on of Burzum, Mayhem, etc. Venom didn't have members murdering each other and taking pictures of their friends' suicides for album covers. It's sort of like Black Sabbath being an original metal band. Of course they were, but it's difficult to compare them to modern metal.

at around 6:00

You have right,Black Sabbath do not have nothing whit BLACK METAL,its just rockblues music.Pathetic coment black sabbath is god of black metal, bullshit of people who thing like that !!!!!!! For me are God Mayhem,Emperor,Dark funeral .... Black Metal !

Gotta love the yazz floot....

@@dragandragon2911 thays not black Sabbath its Black Widow from the Black Mass album.

To quote CM Burns EEEEEEVIL

The sound and feeling. When you hear the saturicon vocal say that, then you know that the definition of black metal does not really have a recipe.

And ODB

Not dark enough he was just alluding to the occult

neuroleptika o

agreed

Yea its all on until the light takes us.the doco narrator on this one is well worth watching

Black metal definition should only come from those wnho make black metal.

***** iconic lol

***** I'm anything _but_ politically correct. I was actually curious about it.

***** You're assuming that I took it as offensive, when in fact I just thought it was stupid and childish. It's the kind of thing I'd expect from a kid. You're just as free to say it as I am to think it's stupid.

***** sheesh you two sound like long lost siblings..

***** Heh, "throwing around insults". That's funny, judging by your previous comments.

No. Into the Infinity of Thoughts

Black metal has the coolest lyrics

Antithetical to everything Black Metal stands for

White metal maybe?

Venom is thrash too

Death is heavier no doubt but black metal is more extreme in content and message
