Italian Metal

Alright you faggots, nothing said "Italian death and black metal exclusively." So how about fucking Rhapsody, Luca Turilli, Elvenking, etc?

I didn't list a single black or death metal band, and I still listed the best bands, so there. ;)

I agree on Elvenking though, but only the first album.
 
It sounds like death-y black metal, kind of a DSO-like drawl in the slower sections, very "catchy" and well written songs with very dark and evil riffs. Doesn't even sound like humans playing it.
 
I knew it would sound something like Deathspell Omega once I saw the album title, song titles and album art. I remember saying that earlier.
 
I hate that term, but the categorization seems to work well since most of them have a somewhat similar sound and image.
