Lyrical themes with composition and instrumentation define a genre .For instance in black metal,lyrics mostly have Anti-Christian, Misanthropic, Satanic, Luciferian, and Pagan basis.
Any of these alone dont define a genre in my opinion except maybe in NSBM.The difference is only in lyrical themes, which usually deal with NS ideals, racism, paganism, pride of heritage or nation, and hate.

Well, they define subgenres such as pagan black metal, satanic black metal etc. |

I guess you could to so if you want to. I've experienced a minor difference between them, though. Pagan black metal tend to have slower melodies and have folk influences, whilst satanic black metal is faster and more raw. |

But what if a band played slower, folk influenced melodies in the "Pagan Black Metal" style, but sung about Satan?

Then the lyrics would lead it to be satanic black metal, simple as that. |

Ok, this is getting offtopic. Everyone move discussion to the Satanic Black Metal VS. Viking/Folk Black Metal thread!

Windir was great. I've never been a fan of Finnish folk metal, though. Finntroll seemed a bit "unserious" last time I heard them, but that might just be me. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
