A little too melodramatic for my tastes. Black metal is just too operatic and overblown, in my opinion. I prefer straightforward death metal like Meshuggah or Carnal Forge. The closest I can get to black metal and still take it seriously would be something like Opeth. Anything beyond that just seems silly to me.
yeah there is a thin line in black metal where some of it gets a little pretentious
as far as hard shit goes i stick with Converge.
and slow doom metal like neurosis or isis.
Dimmu Borgir
Hybrid Mode
