By the way, there are still some CD's available: durbatuluk.bandcamp.com/album/aus-anderen-augen

BM actually helps me sleep. It's not that it's boring, it's soothing in a strange, nihilistic way.

For me personally, BM helped me accept/embrace the darker sides of life instead of running away from it. Its like when you don't accept the "dark" side of life, your basically denying life itself. Meaning that not everything is just "rainbows and sunshine"

I think Black Metal specifically attracts people who carry a certain melancholy through life, who see a leafless tree in winter are struck by it's bare beauty revealed, people who love a cloudy, rainy day and feel joy at seeing the world without the blinding glare of the sun.

Black metal = ASMR for metalheads!

For me black metal is an escape and it’s a very intimate music, I only like to listen to it on headphones by myself because it’s very personal, not for other people to enjoy or dislike. Black metal for me is very comforting and embracing, and tells me it’s ok to feel negative and dark, and makes darkness feel much more familiar, comforting, romantic, cooler or very profound, depending on what kind of black metal I’m listening. ☺️✌🏻I’m listening to Horna & Behexen Split as I write this.

Black Metal is the only genre which can be agressive, pensive and beautiful at the same time.

I love this corner of the internet where intelligent people talk about their feelings in an almost poetic manner. It's such a rarity nowadays... and it's quite ironic that the love of such brutal, harsh music is what connects us all.

I started liking black metal in a very depressive period of my life. Back then, when I was around 20 I used to listen mostly to death and thrash. There came a time when I just felt lost, I was just living life as a university student without any goals in life and had trouble finding my identity in this world. I think the harsh coldness of black metal made me realize by contrast which aspects of life actually drew me to them and what I wanted my future to look like. It took some time and a lot of self reflection but I managed to overcome my inner struggles in the end. Even though I now know who I am and where I'm going, black metal will forever be with me as an old friend who helped me find myself in my darkest moments

Wholesome Farvann is wholesome. *everyone liked that*

to me black metal is like an escape, or a drug. like whenever you get frustrated or depressed just listen to good old 80s and 90s black metal and just let it all out while banging your head and screaming to the full moon lol

Black metal is like home so comforting I often find peace in the melodies. I lived in WA State and alot of the atmospheric tunes have matched the landscapes. There was a time in my life where the depressive bands helped me realize my pain was not that bad. Being a black metal head I realize that there is a lot of hatred for this music and I embrace it it may not be for all but I sure as hell know it's for me.

so far this is way more wholesome than i expected, and i like that, yes pls ❤🤘

i understand that black metal is not for everyone, but i still sometimes get sad about the fact, that many people can't enjoy such great and beautiful music. Black Metal really is like a drug sometimes and it makes me feel so happy while listening to it, which is ironic as it isn't happy music at all. But really it is awesome and no other genre of music or subgenre of metal can create the same feelings as black metal if you know what i mean.

Black metal has helped me mentally too, I actually feel more energetic and more powerful (?) when I listen to it as well I of course am open to other genres, but only black metal gives me all these feelings so strongly. Also, thanks for your awesome videos Farvann 🤘🏻🖤

I like that you used the word "romantic" twice. It seems to be a lost term in todays society.

I got into BM at 37 yrs old. I come from a place where ppl only really listen to reggaeton, trap, and Latin music (which is great also). A lot of my friends and family died during the last 3 years. BM helped me deal with it. Now I build guitars and basses from scratch. It reminds me of punk in a lot of ways. The spirt of BM really motivates me. I started watching your channel when I first got into BM. Thanks man. ✌️🤘🏼

Some of these comments are pretty deep. I am very open to lots of music, metal or not. I must admit though, black metal for me is a very atmospheric and personal thing. I really like getting into a certain frame of mind/mood when listening to it.

It helped me to stop smoking and alcohol. And it made me more open-minded about people, concepts, and actually if someone loves something it has to have some beauty in it, that's what blackmetal made me learn. Plus, to study for universitiy (my biology teacher is a black metal head) and to meditate. So, actually it made me try to push myself forward like a motivational whip.

Years ago I was getting into black metal as I was starting to reconnect with nature again - the music helped me connect with my heritage and takes me back to a more spiritual time when man lived closer to the earth. I don't see the music so much as negativity but more as a tapping into something powerful and primal that exists within us. For me the chaotic intensity of the music balances with the calm and healing quality of the forest, and I can find meditation in both.

Black metal actually got me interested into instruments like guitar and some local folk instruments

I've been a metalhead since i was a kid, i've explored every subgenre, and normally throughout all my teenage years i would bang some death metal to cope with frustration and stress, but when ive reach my 20s things were different. I was a very pessimistic person, full of hate towards society, it all looked so dumb and stupid to me all the time, i became cold and cinic (basically a "doomer", as suggested by a friend of mine), so i decided to finally give this genre a try. Black metal was the only thing i didnt explore at the time and.. Oh man. I was surrounded by an atmosphere that resonated with the same ideas i had at the time. Anger, pain, hate, chaos, everything i was dealing with eventually went away by listening to black metal and meditating to it. It made me understand darkness is something human and everything i felt is natural but i should not let it take over me because i was constantly having conflicts with people around me because i thought everyone was stupid and not worth. Also I'm not praising black metal as if it was a psychiatric therapy, but i've became a much more chill and easy-going person since.

Black metal, IMO, is like a spell told through the ages. It feels old and worn. It’s also my head canon for why Black Metal has a similar sound yet is and can be different. 🤘

Im almost like this dude 0:36 I used to think electronic was only for clubs them found dungeon synth Black metal as a genere is surprise it doesnt have prestablish sound or set of rules from composition or how you want to sound even bands dont care if the even are going to sell a single album or top mainstreang charts The community is surprusly quite if you dont make something like lords of caos( as movie is bad but some topics where kinda interesthing) And the best part you will never run out of bands or musical scenes Greeting from argentina bro if i had the money whit no doubt will buy your album

Everyone: *has poetic and well thought out reasons for liking BM Me: idk, it just sounds fucking rad

In the context of all musical genres out there, black metal is just another one of them. It is not special, it is not about privilege or being/feeling that I am better than others. When I like ANY kind of music I like it because it speaks to me, it's close to my heart, it creates vibes which stimulate my neurons, my brain, and I feel comfortable even when the messages/lyrics seems negative. Blues, pop, acid techno, dark synth, classical music, etc. Doesn't matter what it is. And that's beautiful because the world needs diversity I think. Especially nowadays when so many really fucked up things are going on all over the world. Diversity means development. May all of you feel safe and take care, people!

1. Black metal made me love and appreciate myself. I suffered under heavy depression and self hate but black metal basically told me "Hey man there's a fuckin god in you/everyone You're worth to be here and you are worth it to get appreciation embrace that inner god and start fuckin loving yourself." 2. I already loved nature before I listened to black metal but it brought me even closer to nature and it's beauty. 3. Black metal teached me how disgusting reality but it also teached me that you should appreciate all the bad things since there's so much beauty in all these bad things that people don't see like death. I don't fear darkness and death anymore I simply just started appreciating these beautiful things.

This was very interesting! Thanx Frank! Love your channel! Love from Sweden!

Servus Farvann, ich finde dein Englisch ist über die Zeit wirklich deutlich besser und viel flüssiger geworden!

Atmospheric Black metal and Ambient Black metal has helped me immensely and I consider it to be an intimate experience as you can not only hear, but also feel the music in such a way that you can feel it speaking to you. I reccomend: Midnight Odyssey - Themes Of Forest Amd Firmament Ruadh - The Rock Of The Clyde Saor - Farewell Mesarthim - Isolate Elderwind - The Magic Of Nature Fjord - Midvinter Blötets Skaldersanger Fellwarden - Oathbearer Kalamankantaja - Waldensamkeit Crom Dubh - Firebrands and Ashes Lustre - Follow Us To The Stars Ringarë - Sorrow Befell Gratzug - Kunst Des Sterbens Aversio Humanititas - Behold The Silent Dwellers Thy Light - The Bridge Austere - When Even Tommorow Looks Away Heretoir - Fatigue Old Leshy - Pósród Monumentalnych Szczytów Ghosts Of Oceania - II Núll (AKA 0) - Null and Void Synodic - Infinite Presence In A Violent Universe Gris - il etait un forêt Obsequiae - Aria Of Vernal Tombs Elffor - Malkedant

BM & DSBM helped/helps me get through depressions/depressing stages. When I listen to BM my feelings getting calm. It keeps me going... I don't now.

I like the way you introduced all these topics. Great summary. Cheers

The different melodies and techniques black metal genre has definitely opened me up to other genres I never would’ve listened to before as well, such as synthwave and Japanese city pop.

Very quickly becoming one of my favorite youtubers, checked out your music on Spotify, good stuff man 👌

For all of my life there has been this internal screaming coming from deep within my psychology... One i could not explain or understand or share with other people. Which only ever kind of clicked once i got deeper and deeper into black metal. Like it spoke to something in me where nothing else in the world ever had. It can be so many things and has so much more depth than other genres of music. I started to listen to metal less, because i got bored with the superficiality of the DM i was listening to at the time. It reinvigorated my love for metal, and helped me understand myself and so better understand how i can and can't relate to others.

Great video, very nice to hear so many things I can relate to

I was always into thrash but in 2018 I got into death metal, and then late 2019, black metal. Now it's the genre I listen to the most. It makes me feel at home, to the point where most nights I'll fall asleep to some Burzum or Windir. It's just really nice finding music that pretty much encapsulates how I feel all the time. I know it's cold and desolate but... There's some beauty in that too. Black metal is like being given a blanket in a blizzard.

For me, black metal is a genre wich music don't need to be pretentious or something like that. A regular black metal musician don't care about what people will think of his (or her) music, it's almost like give a physical form to your feelings. By the way, the new Durbatuluk album is great. sorry for the bad english, I don't know if I wrote everything correctly hahahaha

in 2012 I started listening to black metal ... and I immediately understood that this genre is unique from the others ... through this music I came in contact with the inner darkness that I believe we all have inside us ... I learned to appreciate and enjoy isolation, solitude, nature and etc,.. black metal in my opinion has no boundaries ... great music has no genre ... black metal put me in an addictive world and as I explored it I loved it more ... especially the most atmospheric subgenres of black metal ...Greetings from Greece!!

I recently did a black metal photo shoot while we were camping for a friend out behind my house. I already had plans for camping out there, but then my buddy hit me up and it was a lot of fun hiking around late at night trying to get cool pictures. It was like the whole night was building up to those moments while hanging out around the fire cranking music. There's just something fun and mystical about getting into the spirit of black metal.

This is exactly like Doom Metal to me. I can relate to everything that you said. Even though Doom Metal is differenet musically but It seems that DM and BM have many things in common.

for me (a post blackmetal fan) listen to is just curious... sometimes it get's me inspired and sometimes it bring me the most alone I can feel. but always better than if I was with other things surrounding me(music, people..)

The time I fell asleep on my laptop while listening to Dunkelheit back in my university dorm room is when I knew this music could really resonate with me. I've fallen asleep to other BM songs but I don't remember which ones.

It is soothing, cathartic, evocative, gives me a sense of freedom.

I just got into black metal about a week ago and man i really do enjoy it. i used to hate it but it just happened one day and im happy it did.

Black Metal always makes me feel like i can take on the whole world again. If i feel bad the music always seems like an escape from my mental state and gets me to the point where i can enjoy my day again, no matter how bad it started

If my being were to dissolve into musical notes , black metal is what would come out of it ; it just feels natural , like it fits a sort of personal life music score in all its aspects rythms and styles ; the feeling that the romanticism artistic movement strived for goes so hand to hand with black metal it is uncanny and friggin awesome imo.

THANK YOU! SO INSPIRING!

I talked a bit about what BM means to me, and about my circumstances in another comment section but I'll reiterate a little bit here. To me BM is magical. It's coarse and harsh but beautiful. To me, it's a very primal form of music. It's very "human" in a strange way. It's a reversion to a more primal and human state, a more traditional state (not really politically, though that could be related). It's such a spiritual form of music, and I absolutely adore it.

Hey man, got some questions you could answer for your next q&a if you’d like: -what is your end goal in life/what do you want to accomplish? -what was your first job? -were you popular in school/did you like high school? -favourite video game of all time? Hope those were some good ones.

Black metal is like the blades of grass breaking through concrete cracks in a big city. It's human nature desperately crying out to return to something more natural.

holy crap i really feel targetted 😂😂 so glad this channel appeared on my feed with that one vid about just black metal things

Black metal to me can be many things all at once. In some instances, it is beauty in nature or isolation. It can be personified as the harshness of life or existence. Or even a longing back to memories that's sort of like deja vu in a sense or just a reflection of your past self. It could be a feeling that you long to feel again or one that you are trying to reach. I think more than anything for me it's about our journey through life as perceived through our eyes. It can be dissonant, confusing, and even painful at times but it can also be very tranquil and almost nostalgic, like a moment of clarity in time where you appreciate the world around you.

nah, im still scared of the dark

Starting out with heavy music, I didn’t start with BM.. first was rock n roll, then heavy metal - death metal especially - then a friend kind of turned me on to Darkthrone, Gehenna, Inquistion, Burzum+++.. black metal is, as many others here portray, something magical and it takes me to a different mental lane.. the best moments I had was with loads of snow and cold weather, being drunk and walking home from town with loud BM in the ears.. it was like a trance in itself.

Your channel reminds me of those BM fanboyz from my hometown rock bar. They were always sooo special and misunderstood. Oh, the humanity!

For me is a meditation in a way, I listen to all kind of music, BM is just for being with miself

When I was young, my father was listening a lot of black Metal in the house. I started listening to black Metal recently and I feel like I always listened to black Metal

BM is the only genre I can listen while working (I work from home in IT). Near that I'm a Drum&Bass Dj and producer and can appreciate a wide panel of genre. My favourite BM band are: Midnight odyssey, Lustre, Eldamar, Summoning, MGLA, Immortal... I'm more in the melodic and atmospheric side of this genre. Thanks for your channel, I discovered it yesterday and have great time watching your videos (From France).

For me I feel BM is intertwined in my soul and is the most spiritual of all music IMO. I don’t feel special in the sense that I feel elite for being a BM head but I do feel special that BM chose me 🤘 Great video Farvann

Black metal actually helps me to focus. Everytime I have to write a paper, article, essay, what ever, for University (I am studing history) I am listening to black metal. Sometimes also to pagan stuff.

Eh there are like only 5 or 6 black metal bands that I enjoy, mostly while walking the wintering nights or starry nights alone in the wilderness, it is such amazing vibe, and it was one of a prime example of catharsis for me when I had "dark period" , but soon or later it fades from me, I can't only listen to black metal.

BM and doom gave me back my emotions, for the good and the bad. So long i had locked myself in rational thinking, that i forgot how it was to feel both love and sadness.

Black metal resonates deeply with my soul. Ever since middle school, I've been strangely attracted to melancholy and I was a great reader of poetry like Baudelaire. I've always listened to post-rock, which is still a genre I love, but something was missing. I needed more than just post-rock. My ex-girlfriend was (and still is) a black metalhead and suggested me several times to listen to a few bands and especially blackgaze projects. For some reason it took me years to finally give a try to black metal and blackgaze, and I regret it quite a lot. Funny thing is, I already listened to dsbm (especially Swedish dsbm...) but somehow I refused to acknowledge it. Now black metal is a huge but intimate part of my life. It embodies perfectly the melancholy, the spleen I've been feeling for as long as I can remember. I was always a naturally sad, quiet guy. Black metal is basically the music form of the poetry I drank myself with when I was in school. I'm so thanksful for this genre. I wish people could see further than the satanic stereotype of black metal. I know there are satanic bands, but the black metal I enjoy is the one about nihilism, misanthropy, melancholy, poetry, nature, finding beauty in the ugly sides of life.

I see you got the focusrite, wise choice!

BM is something personal to me, that became part of my core. The sound of BM is like a place for my soul to rest. The blast beats of the drums, reminds me that I'm alive, the vocals that are like a cry of hopelessness or a scream of defiance towards the modern world and on top of that the coldness of the riffs that touch the soul. I love as well the live gigs of local bands where I gather with friends, have some drinks, mosh a bit at the sound of the blasts beats, and be together - alone. That sounds strange because I actually didn't start listening straight up to BM. I've started to listen metal music with genres like pagan black (Primordial, Belenos, Hordak and many more) and viking/folk metal (Ensiferum, Wolfchant, Finntroll and many others) and some melodic death metal (Amon Amarth early albums), in early to mid '00. Before that I wasn't listening to music that much. For me Pagan Black and Black metal are a bit different despite some bands are only lyrically toward paganism and musically straight black metal. After I get into those genres I got very in dept into the scene (probably having more than 1TB by 2008-2009 related to those genres and fair amount of CDs in my collection), browsing the internet, collecting bands like people collect post marks from all over the world. I was heavy into pagan religions from all over the world, tribalism and such. That way I found so many great bands from different cultures. How this is related to black metal (my touch with the more mainstream bands - for BM standarts) you may ask. Simply I was gate keeping myself from the genre because I was ignoring the classic 2nd wave of BM (Norwegian scene) considering most of them as lyrically inspired by satanism (which is not away from the truth), that I've always opposed (I'm anti-christian and for me Satanism is part of Christianity) and I've considered lame. So mistakes were made, but later in life I started to open more for traditional black metal themes - darkness, solitude, hatred, nihilism, misanthropy and even satanism. Since I stopped gatekeeping myself I've quickly started promoting black metal to my friends that were into more typical metal. What I've learn from my take was - don't gate keep others from great things like that and don't be elitist for music taste (despite considering it a lot more than that). oof that became a long post. Interesting that few days ago I listen your EP from a facebook BM group that I'm in and tonight I got some of your meme videos recommended and had an impression that this is BM meme channel and when I checked videos I saw that :D. Great EP, keep with the great work.

My black metal started from old school Metallica and Maiden ..and The Cure..and then fell deeply in love with Agalloch ..rip.. then progressed..thats a good theme for your next video

There are bands like Equilibrium which blend BM (especially the first 2 albums), and they often sound positive.

Farvann saying "hope you're good, bro." Lifted me out of my three year off and on depression.

Q&A :what do you think about Shining(swedish one)?

I dont like to run but when i have been doing sokme running, fast pased black metal really fits the activity. especialy if you are running in a wooded environment

I love raw recording. Probably because my drum set mic setup sounds like no other mic setup ever. It’s so gritty.

There's black metal for positive moods too! The more you dig, the more you find! :) Like Vanvidd that mixes uptempo folk in their black metal! Even some legit LOVE songs like fuel the flames by ANCIENT.

Holy shit, my comment showed up and at the beginning. Thanks Farvann.

Exactly since I found black metal now I can see the beauty of dark side of nature

love your videos! lml

this.... it's so true like that kid from Dethgasm said *METAL* made you feel like you're not so alone

I listen to black metal when im sad or crying because it's the only type of music that expresses how i really feel.

I was never a BM fan before. I'm mainly a melodic death and techdeath metal kind of guy. My first BM was Twilight of the Idols by Gorgoroth. Then after that, I stopped listening to BM altogether. But after I had discovered Aara's So Fallen Alle Tempel, I thought "wow, this sounds so fierce yet so pensive. It sounds so despondent and relaxing at the same time. How do they do that?" Ultimately, I fell in love with atmospheric black metal and other black metal bands.

Personally I get a lot of hopeful vibes from certain songs by dissection, immortal and agalloch. I think the melodies they use sound a lot happier than most other black metal bands. The same thing goes for old man's child and such

Reason I fell in love with black metal Athame - beholding the daughters of the firmament. Hungarian band burzum cover plus I'm from Birmingham England so u know tolkien sabbath and priest

I love the Bm band Departure chandelier and I really want a copy of "Anti-Christ rise to power" but it physically doesn't exist anymore and I haaaaaate it.

i think when that guy was talking about being the one to own one of two tapes ever released by a band, i dont think he was comparing himself to others. i think he was pointing out he was the only one to be able to experience another person's music, like if your friend writes a song and only shows it to you

Black metal gave me what punk couldn't and vice versa

"welcome to black metal" The best sentence that i've listened today

Amazing video farvann....

I will share what black metal means to me: For me I had fallen in love with a handful of songs by Mayhem, Darkthrone and some other black metal bands. I always listened to any type of music but my favorites have always been: Rock, Metal and some Rap from when I was a teenager, the same songs I always listened to. There are at least a few songs in every random genre and subgenre that I love. I would have never said the black metal was my favorite genre. It was generally always 80'sish rock and just all types of rock in general with some metal and some extreme metal here and there. But now I can say hands down black metal is my favorite genre and it's about all I can listen to, for good reason which I will get to. I was bored and I watched Lords of Chaos a few weeks ago. Of course I had known the famous Mayhem story since I discovered the band eight years ago but two years after that movie's release I thought it looked lame and most people on youtube including people from all the bands said it was shit and they don't want to watch it, so I didn't feel like it either. But I genuinely enjoyed the movie a great deal the first time watching it. Everytime they played Freezing Moon and other songs I loved it. It's rare for a movie to use any one of the select songs my picky nature has fallen in love with from any genre and when it's randomly in some movie I will probably really enjoy the movie. The movie was of course dark and disturbing etc. etc. as that true story obviously was but it was also a band movie about starting a band and making music. I have been playing electric guitar for about a year and a half and in that time I've learned tons of different riffs and songs I have loved from folk music to rock to metal to death and black metal a bit. After watching Lords of Chaos I changed my amp to make the guitar sound like black metal. Learned the song Freezing Moon first of course lol and a bunch of other black metal songs. Then messing around on guitar I found I wrote a good riff and now I've written several and I'm going to make my own black metal music! I have never been so passionate about anything. Also a week after seeing Lords of Chaos I decided to try and read the Satanic Bible. I really enjoyed it. I read the first half in one night and the second half the next day. I have considered myself a Satanist and proud of it and happy about it ever since. I can have spiritual experiences and feelings while listening to particularly Satanic black metal. I was raised to be very Christian/religious as my father is a pastor but I never got those oh I love Jesus feelings he makes me feel so good from church, prayer, christian music and least of all the bible which I have always considered simply about the most boring book in the world. So black metal is my favorite genre. It's about all I can listen to anymore. I listened to a bit of rap and rock over these past few weeks and... I quickly started fantasizing about where's the black metal and changed the song. This comment is incredibly long so if you read to this point I feel like you deserve a little award or something. I will cast Satan's blessing generically over all of you. I had been single for two years and at 28 years old have had horrible luck with dating, almost all of the few women who were interested in me treated me like shit and left me very quickly. Since becoming a Satanist I have used the magic spells in the book to make myself irresistibly attractive to all women and after meeting two quickly shortly thereafter I cast a spell to make both of them unprecedentedly in love with me. I'm sure that sounds crazy to you. Believe me it sounded crazy to me my first time reading the Satanic Bible, I agreed with almost all of the first 70 percent of the book and then it just talked about magic til the end and I was very skeptical. But What it really is is not magic. It is powerful law of attraction, belief, self confidence and positive thinking/visualization all things that have been demonstrated to give us more success in life and particularly with women. But it's fun to pretend like it's magic and the forces of darkness are out there working to make what I want to have happen, happen. Anyways I'm in love with black magic and Satanism and possibly one of my girlfriends and life. Bless you all. I just need to say one more thing. I want people to understand the heart and essence and meaning of black metal both in my opinion and it seems the opinion of many of you and many of the best bands in the genre. First I will say what black metal is not. Black metal is not: Being emo. Being depressed. Definitely not having low self esteem. Wanting to hurt yourself/die/kill yourself. A source that should give a true fan of it any more pain. Black metal is: Power. Believing in yourself. Following your own path. Nature, Satanism, Luciferianism-you know possibly any or none of these things depending on the band/song. Happiness. Loving yourself. Living your best life possible by the rules that you set. Always doing what you know is right. The bands that have it right are: Darkthrone, Burzum, Behemoth, Gorgoroth. All very happy, powerful, self actualized people I could never see slowing down or killing themself. That's just my take on black metal. You are welcome to have your own. If you enjoy it listen to it. If it's bad for you, you probably shouldn't listen to it. Of course black metal was always intended to be so offensive and distorted that only a minority of people could actually really listen to it. I don't think the internet has changed anything. Inherently most people ultimately can't listen to it. Thanks for reading. Have a great day.

i miss the winter silence when you just not hear a thing. in a late nights thats cold as f

If i feel like crap there is nothing better to cheer me up than gorgoroth. It also helped me to go through rough times

I mostly listen DSBM and Blackgaze. So for me black metal feel like drowning in a river, can't breath and then I get to surface again, the world look a bit prettier. I think it help my metal stage a lot, and express my feeling.

Well i can say i like nearly every metal genres and some other genres like classic rock and oldschool pop

I want to get into black metal but I can't get past the ultra lofi production, I understand thats kind of the point and part of what people enjoy, but yeah. One album I do really like is Abigor's fractal possession!

Nothing has taught me to know myself better and liberate my soul other than BM. Showing you the essence of being, as a whole Person embracing darkness and not rejecting it like they taught us

Hi mate. Greetings from Chile 🤘

Black metal is a catalyst..If you have the proper reactants in your mind,it will cause a reaction and bring upon a positive change in you so that you enjoy solitude and start loving life and interpreting stuff wisely. For the others who lack the reactants..it doesn't do as much other than soothing or terrifying listeners

For me music needs to make me feel something. That is very important to me.

Metal is many different things thrown together. Black Metal is a stripped down version of Metal. But Black Metal has shown me the concept of 'extreme' is a relative thing. BM is a prism to the visceral onslaught that is Metal. Like a deep breath on the coldest winter day, Black Metal can be both refreshing and punishing. The duality of the two force a perspective that both elevates and freezes your soul. The only sense of superiority from Black Metal fans is we see the beauty in the ugliness. and the only Metal heads that rarely branch out to other styles of Metal and music are Power Metal fans. Love the channel dude!!

I somewhat feel like I jump from Death Metal to Black Metal over and over again. Don’t know why. I really love both genres very much. I think it just depends on my mood sometimes. I’ll listen to DM when I’m in a more energetic mood and I’ll listen to BM when I’m in a chill mood. I’m not sure. But it’s all Metal and that’s what only matters \m/

At the beginning I thought BM is completely the same as Death Metal. Only because I searched dull for Black Metal and listened to the first Song which appeared xD. And it's true, I'm so open like never before to other genres. To describe a Feeling or what Black Metal is for me, it's such a cold music but it give me a warm feeling, as example, you taking a really cold shower and you finish and step out. The cold water still runs over your body, but you aren't freezing you just feel a comfortable flame inside in you. Hope all who read this, could followed me.

For me I just enjoy most genres of Metal (kind of hate Metalcore with a couple exceptions) whether it's mainstream like Metallica or Avenged Sevenfold, or something less known like Turisas, Battlelore, Cruachan, or maybe something people might find odd like Pirate Metal with Alestorm and Storm Seeker, or Goblin Metal with Nekrogoblikon. To me if it's good Metal that I enjoy I'll listen the subgenre is just semantics really.
