I think I stumbled across a black metal record I like

The fact you have some hatred for it honestly one of the weirdest and goofy things to me. Especially because you love emo and depressing shit and the amount of incredible depressing emotional black metal records there are is crazy.

Generally speaking black metal lacks dynamics. It's one-dimensional. It's the same thing the whole way through. Its why I also don't really listen to grindcore. That bores me. I like ups and downs and changes and a variety of sounds. Also a reason why I don't like much of this newer metal stuff. That's production-wise, though. Well bad songwriting too. But everything is pushed to the top of the mix, it's just loud, there is no dynamics.

Solid listen! Check out Converging Sins by Ultha, Memoria Vetusta III by Blut aus Nord, and anything by Ghostbath or early Alcest, if you like your BM with a bit more dynamic orchestration and melody.

Sounds like Mgla or Uada. Black metal for guys in tight jeans with beards and backwards hats.
