Blackgaze is a subgenre of metal music that combines elements of black metal and shoegaze. It is characterized by a heavy, distorted guitar sound, often with tremolo picking, and a dreamy, atmospheric soundscape. The vocals are usually screamed or shouted, and the lyrics often focus on themes of darkness, despair, and nihilism. The drums are usually fast and intense, and the bass is often distorted and heavy. Blackgaze is often seen as a more accessible version of black metal, and has gained a large following in recent years.
