NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Black Metal (album)

Black Metal is the second album by Venom, and the origin of the term "black metal". It was released in 1982. It is considered one of the most important albums to the extreme metal movement, most notably the emerging thrash metal, death metal and black metal scenes of the 1980s and 1990s. However, it should be noted that the album's musical content is different than what is nowadays considered "black metal". ImageMetadata File history File links Venomblackmetal. ...

Black metal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (3036 words)
	One views fl metal as a very specific form of music that must adhere to a particular 'style' in order for it to be a part of the genre; while the second considers the lyrical and philosophical/political ideology of the music to take more precedence in defining the genre itself, rather than 'style'.
	Black metal enthusiasts also started to terrorize other notable "death metal" bands that were touring their country or in neighboring countries, on the basis of their lack of apparent "evilness".
	War metal is a fl metal offshoot sub-genre that, since the release of a now infamous split between the bands Black Witchery and Conqueror, has been used to describe a certain sound; although the title was first coined by Holocausto from Brasil on their 1987 LP Campo De Exterminio.

Behemoth - Black Metal (415 words)
	There are four tunes here of which one is a Bathory "tribute" soundalike, leaving two solid fast fl metal songs and one more epic tune where Nergal, the egomaniacal force behind this band, informs us that he played all of the instruments and not just guitar.
	Of these remaining fl metal songs, they are fast and simple in the style of Immortal's first album, using riffs that develop across languid song structures that preserve an emotional state for dissection in the simple bends of a few riffs.
	Little about this album will please the fl metal purist, as it reveals its inner desire to explore metal in older styles, but the strength of its riffs and some of these more vibrantly aggressive songs qualifies it for repeated if infrequent listens.
