Blackened death metal

Blackened death metal is a subgenre of heavy metal that combines elements of black metal and death metal. It features aggressive vocals, often with growling or shrieking, and complex guitar riffs. The sound is usually fast and intense, incorporating dark themes and atmospheres typical of black metal, such as mythology or existentialism. Lyrically, it often explores darker subjects, while the production can have a raw, gritty quality. Bands like Behemoth and Dissection exemplify this style, showcasing a blend of technical precision and haunting melodies, creating an immersive and powerful musical experience.
