Looking for specific lyrical themes in black metal.

[TheInsane]

Im on the search for some new black metal. However I do not wish for the lyrics to be suicidal, national socialist or over the top satanic (not the anti-cosmic bs either).

I believe Darkestrah's "epos" deals with the tales of a lake in mythology and Negura Bunget deals with old transylvanian mythology and nature so essentially that is the kind of stuff Im looking for.

Horn, Walknut, Kroda, Festung Nebelburg.

Lunar Aurora and old Ulver were the first two I thought of.

 

[waif]

old Behemoth perhaps.

 

[Seditious]

Folk/Black Metal FTW

Månegarm
Moonsorrow
Taunusheim
Thyrfing
Wolfchant
Wyrd
XIV Dark Centuries

The new album of Keep of Kalessin, Kolossus, is about this regular dude who kicks the gods' asses, then becomes one himself.

Hm... I wouldnt call that album black metal though. Its kind of thrashy in the way that gothenburg death/thrash is thrasy and some blasts and stuff thrown in. Black metal influences, yeah maybe, but not black metal.

Lunar Aurora

No, Lunar Aurora's lyrics aren't about mythology and stuff.

 

[Vitor]

try windir or forest of souls

I mainly want lyrics that doesnt deal with suicide, "over the top" satanism (it can be hnted but I dont want lyrics ala dark funeral) or national socialism. It doesnt have to be about mythology or nature those were only examples.

I'd love some seriously deep philosophical lyrics if that exists in black metal. I havent been following the secene since the late 90'ies pretty much.

October Falls - The Womb Of Primordial Nature
A Forest of Stars - The Corpse of Rebirth

Great lyrics for both of these bands, and a very unique sound.

Yes, because their lyrics aren't about things like the mysticism of the moon and winter, with specific references to spirits and shadow people. Oh, wait. They are and you just don't know what you're talking about, as usual.

One question though, why do you want specific lyrics?

One question though, why do you want specific lyrics?

Im tired of certain themes and trends in black metal so I'd like to explore new stuff that may have some more seriousness to it (not lyrics just done to be "evil" or to be "true black metal").

Kind of like when I graduated in death metal from Cannibal Corpse towards stuff with better (read: more meaningful) lyrics.

Lyrics isnt everything but good music put together with good lyrics is always better than good music with bad lyrics imho.

Then try, Odium(Nor) - The Sad Realm of the Stars

You know, i fuckin hate you, but i am not the type of guy that hates females in general, instead i fuckin care for them, but you're just an ignorant bitch, i don't know what i have done to you, but you have this bossy feeling against me, when i post something, you always quote, and say something stupid, as if you know better than me.

You're the one who came into this thread and told me that I was wrong when I wasn't. It's not like I started this conversation.

But it's not the first time you're bitching. You're still a newbie to the forum, just be kind and obey old members.

jesus christ shut up

I'm sorry. I didn't realize that your join date means that I have to take orders from you even when you're clearly wrong in arguments that you started. I'll try to remember that next time you stupidly state incorrect information and call me wrong.
