What is your definition of BM in one sentence?
what do you think sums up the sound of the music?


(edit) an addition to the question:

when you listen to a typical BM song
what images are conjured up in your mind?

also, do different BM bands evoke a different feeling/image or
are they mostly similar?

[Menelyagor_FH]

Thats two questions.

1. Individuality, Solitude, Hate, Death, Anti-religion.

2. Darkness. Thats how I like to feel when I hear it anyway.
Namby Pamby overly riffy happy sounding Black Metal is just gay

you can answer both in one sentence though.

[Menelyagor_FH]

Yeah, true that

Mine would be:

A wall of noise; raw, grim, lonely and full of hate.

[Menelyagor_FH]

If you had to sum it up in one WORD though, what would it be?

[arctic grave]

Fierce

[Heiden]

Insanity

[=LeviathaN=]

Pain!

I couldn't describe black metal in an essay, let alone a sentence.
