I don't know what's the hype about Black Metal?

[The_Evil_Gentleman]

Yeah! I heard couple of black metal songs and I found them very raw, man! I like death metal and other stuff, but I don't know why people like BM so much it sucks! Heard Burzum, CoF, Old Man's Child, Mayhem and others but it didn't impress me. There are no solos for God's sake. The vocals suck big time.

Is anyone with me?

No.

Black Metal is not about
-solos
-headbanging riffs
-technicality
Black Metal is about atmosphere and in some cases it has good composition.
It is quite normal not to get into BM at first listen and even not at the first few listens.
Listen to UIver's Bergtatt.

Perhaps this will help you either to enjoy it or to decide that it is not your thing...

Atmosphere
Minimalism
rhythm
Darkness
