Icelandic Black Metal is a subgenre of extreme metal music that originated in Iceland in the early 1990s. It is characterized by its fast tempos, shrieking vocals, and dark, often Satanic lyrical themes. The genre is heavily influenced by Norwegian black metal, and is often associated with the Nordic paganism and Norse mythology. Icelandic black metal bands often incorporate traditional Icelandic instruments such as the langspil and the hurdy-gurdy into their sound. The genre is known for its raw, lo-fi production and its emphasis on atmosphere and emotion.
