Austrian Black Metal

Austrian Black Metal is a subgenre of extreme metal music that originated in Austria in the early 1990s. It is characterized by its fast tempos, raw production, and aggressive, often misanthropic lyrics. The genre is heavily influenced by the Norwegian black metal scene, and is often associated with the early works of bands such as Abigor, Summoning, and Pazuzu. Austrian black metal is known for its dark, atmospheric sound, and its focus on themes of death, despair, and the occult.
