The Appeal of black metal?

like 75% of the metal heads here at GT listen to this stuff, its so slow boring and repetitive.

Why not listen to melodic death metal?

Not exactly sure, not a big fan of the genre. The only band i have heard was Immortal, and they were ok. I prefer progressive metal though

That "dose" sound boring because it sounds like any other viking metal band.

Half of the melodic death metal subgenre is barely even death metal. And how is black metal slow in the slightest (especially compared to melodic death metal)? It has many different forms, just like death metal (I prefer death over black and doom myself, but I love them all).

Dissection - Thorns Of Crimson Death (Melodic Black Metal)

Dimmu Borgir - In Death's Embrace (Symphonic Black Metal; newer stuff is just symphonic metal)

Marduk (just learned this song on bass; occasionally called "brutal" black metal because they started trend of having a very thick sound in black metal; I love Marduk's absolutely ridiculous lyrics and songs)

Enslaved - Path To Vanir (Progressive Black Metal)

Emperor - Into The Infinity Of thoughts (Black Metal)

1349 - Nathicana (Black Metal; occasionally called "brutal" black metal as well)

Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas (Black Metal cIassic)


Not to mention the numerous other subgenres, like DSBM.

To me that sounds like a bunch of people overplaying al there instraments with no actual beat or melody.

Sorry

Well all genres of music can be considered 'repetitive', it's just your perception of it. Black metal is soothing to me, it's very emotional and requires alot of emphasis on 'soul' and less on the technicality of the music (though some bands are very technical). It's not for everyone either, the vocals can be a big turn off, but I grew to like it:).

I don't see it either, I like progressive metal the best,

Because devil worship is COOL! I've personally never seen the appeal in it either, the only black metal band I've come close to liking was Nocturnal Breed, and my main complaint with them was that their singer was abhorrent(they would've been a good thrash band if they had a different singer judging from the three songs I heard by them), and Satanic lyrics are the point of black metal if my definition's right...=/

Sorry but yes, i prefer music that has well played instraments Wolls

The appeal is in the strength. You cannot be a black metal musician if you're weak. The lyrics and music have to give the listener strength.

I havnt tried hard to find any, but i think my time would be better spent tying to find other music from genres i like insteed.

Black metal is about the atmosphere.

I genuinely hate melo death, but like some black metal (Agalloch, Bathory, Emperor). Can't explain why, just sounds good and satisfying.Neon-Tiger

Well see when i listen to metal it feels like they only want to play there instraments fast and loud, which seems to take away from the beauty that music can be, but thats just me.Wolls

Black Metal is far more entertaining and great to listen than "Melodic" Death Metal.

It is harder to get into thats for sure, but once you achieve a taste for it, its something you'll love and prove rewarding for your ears.

Also, Melodic Death? No thank you, I'll stick with "Death" Metal instead...

See i liked it sorta, until the guy started singing so low that you couldnt hear him over the god awful sound that the guitar made. I think basically we look for different things when it come to music.

I dont know what you like but im more of a Alt rock mized with alot of The Beatles :)

Because it's an offshoot of Gothic metal. So i can understand why people like it, but it's not really my style.

I started off with two bands in order to get into Death Metal, and that was simply Amon Amarth, and Deicide.

That was my stepping stone.

But even then Death Metal never turned me away when I first heard it, I loved the way it was composed along with the sound of it.

Black Metal was harder for me to get into, but once I found Bathory it simply paved the way for me...

If you don't like a genre or can't get into it but want to you just force yourself by playing it in the background or in the car.

Think the album Loveless from My Bloody Valentine. If you don't care for shoegaze you'll probably hate it at first. Then you get used to it and you can make up your own mind. Maybe I was a little off topic.
