Genre
Black Metal
Black metal is extreme metal's coldest strain: shrieked vocals, tremolo-picked riffs, lo-fi production, and atmosphere prized over groove. The early-1990s Norwegian second wave — Mayhem, Emperor, Darkthrone — fixed its sound and its mythology.
Black Metal on Riffiter: 43 albums from artists including Behemoth, Dimmu Borgir, Emperor, ranked by popularity and community ratings.
