Black Metal

Black Metal is a subgenre of heavy metal music that originated in the early 1980s in Europe. It is characterized by fast tempos, shrieking vocals, heavily distorted guitars, and often dark, occult-inspired lyrics. The genre is often associated with Satanism, paganism, and anti-Christian sentiment. Black Metal bands often employ a "wall of sound" production style, which emphasizes the use of multiple layers of distorted guitars and drums to create a dense, chaotic sound.
