To me, black metal is inseparable from its ideologies, which are mainly rooted in hatred, nihilism, individualism, deep ecology etc. The music is its cathartic expression. If you're indifferent to these topics, it is better to put this genre aside and move on to something else.

Get Enslaved Ruun

I did and never really saw the big hype. It definately had its moments, but it ended up boring me.

Black Metal combines the aesthetic of classical music, which is the most enlightened form of human expression, with the pure human aggression that extreme metal most suitably expresses. The product is...perfection.

Haha, yeah the aesthetic of classical... right. I love Black Metal with all my heart, but really, it has nothing on classical. After analyzing classical music thoroughly in music classes I've had, I've really seen the genius of it.

...deep ecology...

forests???

 

[JoeVice]

if you don't like black metal, its because you don't understand it...much like any form of art...for the same reason, some don't see the genius in modern country music.

 

[Kenneth R.]

same reasons i gave for dm.

passion + intensity + dynamics + atmosphere

thank you for doing something about that asinine claim above.

 

[all_sins_undone]

why black metal?

ulver
enslaved
emperor
akercocke
and a few other albums by random artists

 

[S<issors]

Enslaved, Ulver, Emperor, Ackercocke and Satyricon will be duly checked out. And thanks for the warning, Derbeder, but I think my buddy's Manowar fascination already broke my brain.

By the way, I've actually heard some Ulver- seems like they got into electronica-ish stuff later in their career...?
