Blackened Death Metal

[Zephyrus]

This thread is for discussing all those bands who blend the two pinnacles of extreme metal into a dynamic sound that is evil and atmospheric yet brutal and technical. Blackened Death Metal can take so many forms, be it straight black metal with extra technicality, or death metal with black metal themes and techniques thrown into the mix. Bands in this category can include those like Behemoth who formerly played traditional black metal and evolved more and more into the death metal vein.

Blackened death metal is what I consider the ultimate hybrid genre, and I listen to many bands that fit the dynamic description:

Arkhon Infaustus
Behemoth
Belphegor
Dissection
Melechesh
Myrkskog
Naglfar
Zyklon

 

[~Neurotica]

Goatwhore, Sturmgeist (black/thrash)

 

[Vitor]

i like so much... my favorite bands:

Centurian
Angel Corpse
Hate Eternal
Behemoth
Rebaelliun (r.i.p.)
Miasma
Deicide
Calvary Death (r.i.p)

cool thread

(Not to derail thread, apologies in advance) .. God I can't stand Blackened Death Metal. Too accessible, and a compromise of what Black Metal is really about. Not my cup of tea at all - however, I did enjoy Behemoth when they came here, and would see them again (yet I can't stand their recorded material).

There's always been a lot of cross pollination between the two scenes, but most of the branded 'blackened death' is fucking terrible.

Blackened Death Metal is too accessible? I can see how Dissection and Naglfar's brand of the genre is more accessible, but that's for blending melodic death metal with black metal. Bands that incorporate more traditional death metal elements can't be more accessible than if they were just plain BM.

i love this stuff. behemoth continues to push boundaries. Arkhon Infaustus are the best thing to come out of France, and Belphegor just own. these bands continue to push there limits, adn at teh same time continue to amaze with great skill and profiency.

 

[panzerfaust666]

and those are only the first bands of this great sub-genre.

Yeah, I mean, Behemoth is really pushing the boudaries of second album Morbid Angel worship.

ooook. well i believe they do.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

behemoth doesn't sound like morbid angel at all

WTF are you talking about?

 

[panzerfaust666]

yeah agreed man. morbid angel is way different.super different, not even teh drumming can really be compared

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

I am a huge fan of morbid angel and behemoth, they were my first 2 extreme metal bands (along with death), and I don't see any similarity at all

 

[Scourge of God]

The only thing that is different is the shitty pro-tools production. The music is 100% Morbid Angel ripoff (like pretty much all Polish death metal).

I agree.

shitty pro-tools production? behemoth has flawless production

again, I don't hear that at all. They have a similar sound to Vader, but that's about it

 

[panzerfaust666]
