What are your favorite black metal subgenres and why? What are your least favorites? I personally don't like post black metal and blackgaze but I love bestial black, blackened thrash/speed, first wave and second wave.

my favourite genres are blackgaze, tharshened (???) black metal and symphonic
least fav i think its dsbm, idk why
then it would be rabm, the idea is good but they dont have any good riffs tbh and it feels like a forcced opposite odf nsbm

my faves are vampyric bm, black speed (diff than black thrash but i like that too), DSBM, war metal (if that counts here), folk bm, viking bm, and probably TNBM/second wave tbh
not into rabm. i think the idea is interesting conceptually but havent found a band thats actually good. anarchist wolves was kinda decent but thats it. if i wanted to listen to politics i would just put on SOAD
not really into whatever the genre is that mixes pop and bm style vocals... banshee, jazmin bean, whatever. just not into it

Honestly anything with a Focus on melody, like Dissection or Windir i just love the atmosphere that it creates
other than that probably 2nd wave, Black Thrash (proto-BM) and some Ambient Stuff like NONE is really fucking good

i mostly listen to folk black metal, but i also really enjoy anything that has a medieval theme to it, especially bands such as grylle, vΓ©hΓ©menceΒ and aorlhac. i'm not a fan of war metal though, it's just a personal preference, because i seem to like melodic and atmospheric aspects of black metal more.Β
