Ill admit i dont understand the genre. Personally the only black metal bands i like are those that experiment, like Solefald, Arcturus, Bethlehem, Enslved etc. The proceeding paragraph contains my own personal thoughts and understanding of this "troo" black metal scene.
I have understood it to be a genre rife with shoddy production and musicianship trying to evoke a nihilistic pagan call to action, with heavy nazi or nationalistic undertones. Some bands do it well, like Nokturnal Mortum, Temnozer, or even old burzum. Most bands seem to be parodies of old darkthrone, mayhem, and dimmu borgir releases, and instead of writing decent music, they rely on image, and their message rather than decent music. Someone has to tell me why Fullmoon and Graveland and other bands in this spirit are worth a shit, I can barely hear the music, its ounds like its on a 8 track. From what i do hear, it sound pretty standard and relying on its underground cult nazi appeal rather than the music itself.
So is this a correct assumption of "troo" black metal?
