What's the difference, thee amount of makeup they use?
It's all the same one boring thrash (which is early 80s Hard Core Punk, I swear, look it - making it a three and a half decade old song...) tune with really stupid 'vocals' out of some Horror Movie...

That and it's bastard offshoot, screamo, plus B-Boy have to be the worst genres of 'music' (and I use that term exceedingly lightly) ever... I hate to see what music evolves into next.

Thank goodness I'm old enough to have heard the last of the good stuff...

What's so great about depressing music? Nothing wrong with emotions and feelings while listening to music, but I don't see depressing as a good thing...

It depends how it's conveyed, there are certain bands I won't touch, such as "Make a Change, Kill Yourself" and a few others.
I'm not really bothered by the 'suicidal genre', but there are 'depressive' bands who have such a good atmosphere, in fact, said bands have probably been incorrectly labelled.

Black Ivory Tower

Blackgaze does not exist

January 18, 2013 by degtyarov in article and tagged article, blackgaze, die, f**k off

With the above-average prevalence of autism in the metal scene in mind, it is hardly a challenge to explain metalheads’ tendency to classify every last metal band into the most obscure subgenres. Instead of accepting that some bands may have a somewhat unique style, the most ridiculous terms are called into life to categorise every type of music that even has as much as an electric guitar in it. Perhaps this is the only way for them to keep things organised and safe – who’s to tell what one of these loners might do when their brains are overloaded from thinking too much, after all. This is why, for as long as metal has existed, meaningless labels have been put on albums and even entire bands, such as ‘epic metal’ (power metal), ‘symphonic metal’ (metal bands that have the budget to replace their Casio keyboards with actual orchestras) and ‘fantasy metal’ (power metal for people who are confused about their sexual orientation). This process becomes even more convoluted when adjectives are being thrown around, as to imply a non-existent distinction: ‘melodic black metal’ (nearly all black metal is melodic), ‘depressive black metal’ (black metal is seldomly happy, and since when was a general mood sufficient to distinguish an entire genre?) and ‘blackened death metal’ (an umbrella term for terribad bands from Paris that make you wish the entire Île-de-France would just sink into the ground).

Then comes ‘blackgaze’. This latest product of the unkillable desire to invent new genres for bands that play their instruments slightly differently, has only appeared very recently. The term for a somewhat moody, atmospheric style of black metal from the European underground only started gaining prominence in 2011 and 2012, which unfortunately doesn’t prevent its advocates from retrospectively applying it to just about every post-punk/post-rock-inspired band they can get their greasy fingers on. The word itself is a combination of ‘black metal’ and ‘shoegaze’, the latter being a sort of dream-like rock that, like black metal, distances itself from the usual pop structures.

Now, I generally don’t care much for genre debates, but in the particular case of ‘blackgaze’, what bothers me is not the false musical distinction the people who use the term try to establish, but rather the ideas that have led to the invention of this bastardised pseudo-style. Blackgaze is, first and foremost, a term born out of non-musical motives. Black metal, at its core, is a rancid, unattractive music style that is known for its inaccessibility. A new image, more artistic and pretentious in nature, was thus necessary to make it attractive for beanie-wearing skaterb0is who, after having gotten over Blink 182, needed a new soundtrack for when they waited in line at the AppleStore. Blackgaze and Montessori-bands such as Wolves in the Throne Room experienced their finest hour. The hype will die out, however, and these people will hop on the next big trend soon enough, undoubtedly breaking their horn-rimmed-glasses-wearing skulls over making up new genres once more. Surely they will claim to have ‘grown out of’ blackgaze and exclusively listen to genres that are decorated with the prefix ‘post-‘. At least, if they’re not too busy furiously shoving Spaghettios up their snatch.


Naturally, there are still distinctions to be identified within genres, for example between bands from a certain geographical or historical context. Black metal from Auvergne, for instance, is different from Parisian black metal (coughinthat*tsbettercough). But that should not lead to some imaginary distinction between ‘Melodic Mediaeval Auvergnised Black Metal’ and ‘XXXtreme Parisian Death Black Awezum Metal 4 Cool Kidz’. ‘Blackgaze’ is a fad word that only has to do with image. As such, the listening to and, if necessary, categorisation of music can henceforth best be left to individuals who have more firing neurons in their brains than empty bags of Cheetos in their pantry. I wish the rest of you the best of luck with sodding the f**k off.

To the complete moron bitching about corpsepaint, go comment on a genre you actually know something about. Because I don't know of very many dsbm bands that use corpsepaint. Perhaps you're thinking of second wave black metal.

I listen to a lot of obscure bands from all around the world. Some of my favorite dsbm bands are Lamuria Abissal, Kanashimi, Ekove Efrits, Sombre Tears, Cheerful Depression, Death Diaries, Trist, Life is Pain, Austere, Cry, Eternal Misery, Photophobia, Hanging Garden, Happy Days, Unjoy, Valefor, Lyrinx. I tried to list them in a best to worst order but there's a lot of overlap.

I don't listen to much blackgaze but Harakiri For the Sky has some good songs.

Currently my favorite bands are a post-black metal subgenre known as Narcotic Metal/Depressive Rock. Mostly bands from Sweden, Apati, Ofdrykkja, Vanhelga, Psychonaut 4.

Also I am extremely embarrassed at what this thread has become... Most people are naming regular black metal bands that have nothing to do with dsbm or are just spamming random pictures that also have nothing to do with dsbm.

What you should be embarrassed about is the butthurt swarming out of your irritated bowels.

Get over yourself and your 'that's second gen corpsepaint, not third' blah blah blahing because you sound like a way too much in need of a real hobby to bide your totally useless time away whiny assed bitch...
