| | | | Black Metal and Death Metal are different. So I would assume it's a combination of the two. |

It's not nearly as overused, but reminds me of the flood of bands adding the "core" suffix to everything. There's probably a "blackened deathcore" band out there right now. Maybe eventually we'll hit the snow level and get some "post-blackened deathcore" bands. Quote:

A good example is Behemoth who used to be a black metal band but now plays death metal. For some reason people like to label them "blackened death metal" even though the music doesnt have much black metal left in it.
There are loads of sub-genres in every musical style. Maybe metal fans are more vocal about the division though. |

I think these labels are useful for giving you a ballpark idea of what a band might sound like but that's about it. And that's only assuming you are already familiar with the genres that make up the sub-genre. Just like the "core" thing... metalcore = metal + hardcore, deathcore = death metal and hardcore. Doesn't tell you anything about what kind of hardcore or what kind of metal the band is taking influence from. I think these genre labels are useful as a sort of guide. But people do get too hung up on this stuff sometimes.

Okay, so I think I know what "Death Metal" is - cookie-monster vox, lotsa double bass, crazy rectified guitars, basic message of destruction and chaos...
"Black Metal"? Black as in race, black as in the color or black as in "bleak" - like hopelessness?

You got death metal. Basically people inspired by Slayer and started doing cookie monster vox.
Black is high pitch screeching without much groove and generally anti-religious themes. There's also a strange obsession with Lord of the Rings and that evil language that was made up for the ringwraiths or w/e. Youtube Emperor. For some hilarity youtube Call of the Wintermoon by Immortal. Might want to put your coffee down tho.
