[edit] Black metal

How is this album black metal? What makes it black metal? There are no blast beats, no screams, no satan related lyrics, no or very few tremolo picked parts, no extreme tempos... it's a thrash album. Kameejl (Talk) 22:24, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

So, by your definition, Venom's Black Metal isn't black metal then. That certainly creates quite a paradox. And if "satanic" lyrics a black metal band makes, Morbid Angel and Deicide would be black metal then. And Immortal wouldn't be black metal, because 90% of their lyrics are about their rather disturbing snow fetish. Also, most of the early Norwegian black metal fare didn't have extreme tempos at all... Musicaindustrial (talk) 12:04, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Where did I say that every band with satanic lyrics is black metal? A single trait doesn't make any band any genre. A combination of traits do. If an album doesn't contain any element of genre X, it can't be genre X, simple common sense... The only thing To Mega Therion and black metal have in common is the use of distorted guitars and that just isn't enough.
And the music of early Norvigian black metal bands (Mayhem, Darkthrone, Burzum) is fast, laden with tremolo picking and screamed vocals, etc.. Nothing like To Mega Therion.
Again, what makes To Mega Therion black metal? Kameejl (Talk) 15:12, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
