[edit] Satanica?

Satanica was NOT the first album to fuse black and death metal. That album came out in 1999! Pessimist were together in 1988! This article needs to be fixed up.70.18.251.175 (talk) 00:49, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. Dissection's The Somberlain had already meshed black and death six years before Satanica. I'd even risk saying that Vital Remains's Let Us Pray did a bit of that as well. Musicaindustrial (talk) 00:43, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] death metal

Is this really a subgenre of death metal? To me it seems like it's more of a description that fits certain death or black metal bands, more than a specific genre. Mr. Death 23:13, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

I don't think this should be a specific genre either. Bands using both styles' features is nothing new, but I think the moniker death/black is pretty intuitive without being made into a genre. Darkthrone, a major black band had a death metal album, so the connections between the two styles are quite clear. Ehm, omitting the (old) usual metal infighting between fans and bands

This article should be moved. It could remain as a subgenre in the Death Metal article, but like the commen above said, it's not a specific genre, but a descriptor.

I have never heard of "blackened death metal" in anywhere but Wikipedia. Sources of the term being used in media should be provided, or the page be deleted. - Quirk 13:39, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Blackened Death Metal is popular Europe especially in Poland and Austria. Belphegor's 1st Album "the last supper" is definitely pure Death metal, but their 2nd CD "Blutsabbath" could be seen(1999), as the first blackened Death metal production. This genre is really underground (even in Europe)some people don't know the difference,but there's a homogene mix of ultra-fast "black drums", mostly "death riffs", screams and death grunts. The lyrics often deal with Satanic content. sorry for my bad english mfg —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.226.15.82 (talk) 21:20, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

I think this "Blackened death metal" is an original research. I haven't found books and web-site about its history. The band of this presumed genre could be simply labeled as black/death metal or death/black metal. --Born Again 83 (talk) 13:47, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
The terminology has been used fairly often outside wikipedia. For instance, a number of reviews of Belphegor's 'Pestapokalypse VI' among others have used the term 'blackened death metal'.

[edit] Deicide?

would deicide be considered blackened death metal? Their sound is death metal and they have satanic themes just as black metal does. 68.119.197.242 (talk) 01:18, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Death metal can be satanic too but that doesn't define a genre. How it sounds musically is how bands are defined. −₪ÇɨгcaғucɨҲ₪ kaiden 01:43, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
