Berikut ini gaya dan ciri-ciri permainan band-band Black Metal:

Gitar
Cepat, didalam Rhytm gitar yang cepat, terselip melodi gitar yang samar-samar dan lama-lama berubah menjadi Alternate picking dan tremolo pick
Distorsi yang banyak memainkan Power chord.
Seteman gitar sama persis seperti Death metal. Di Chord D atau Chord C atau lebih rendah lagi.

Drum
Double bass drum sangat tipis jika dimainkan, sangat bertenaga, kadang bersama-sama dengan pukulan Snare Drum dengan gaya meledak-ledak (hentakan keras). Kadang kita hanya akan mendengarkan bass drum yang berbunyi sedetik.
Kadang, drum juga bisa bermain sangat lambat, Tergantung suasana musik.
Bahkan ada kalanya band-band seperti Burzum atau Xasthur sering tidak menggunakan drum dibeberapa lagu.
Beberapa band menggunakan drum mesin untuk performa lebih baik.

Lirik, Vokal
Lirik dinyanyikan dengan jelas. Bernuansa kikir, setan yang mengingatkan kepada penyiksaan, dan ini sudah menjadi standar band-band Black Metal.
Ada yang dinyanyikan bersatu seperti simponi. Lalu band-band Black metal menamakanya Symphonic Black Metal
Banyak juga yang sering dinyanyikan laki-laki dan perempuan seperti lagu-lagu simponi Gregorian.
Sering ada efek di vokalnya dan membuat suara seperti Atmospher.
Lirik sering mengambil kata-kata yang berbau setan, penyembahan berhala, dewa-dewa kuno, tema gaib yang mengutuk agama Kristen (Anti Chrisi).
Lirik bertema perang, udara dingin, kegelapan, hutan, dan lingkungan alami di eropa.

Keyboard
Biasanya setingan keyboard, biola, choir, dan organ menyerupai setelan musik gereja supaya meniru suara Kathedral dan orkestra yang terasa sejuk, dingin, samar dan menyedihkan.

Performa
Tidak suka bermain live dan lebih cenderung bermain gaya. Beberapa band Black Metal seperti Darkthrone menolak untuk bermain live. Banyak juga solo Black Metal seperti Clandestine Blaze, Burzum, Leviathan dan Xasthur juga menolak bermain live karena mereka terdiri dari 1 anggota. Tetapi satu band seperti Satanic Warmaster, bermain bersama musisi ekstra secara khas demi/untuk maksud kinerja live.

Jumlah band dengan seorang line-up penuh, seperti Borknagar, Emperor, Gorgoroth, Neurotic of Gods dan Dark Funeral memainkan konser langsung.
Rata-rata band ingin terlihat tampil se-mengerikan mungkin.
Kebanyakan band mengecat muka mereka menyerupai mayat (Corpse Paint), dan ini telah menjadi standar musik Black Metal.

Gelombang Pertama

Bibit Black Metal ditanam diawal 80'an yang dikenal sebagai "Gelombang Pertama", ilham paling awal diawali oleh band-band dari Inggris. Lewat band dari britania raya, Venom lewat album debutnya 'Welcome to Hell. Setelah perpecahan dari NWOBHM Metal lebih cenderung mengalami masa dimana band-band lebih mementingkan masa depan gaya dari pada suara/sound.

Gaya pakaian/busana seragam bisa juga mirip yang dipunyai band-band Black Metal; Pantalon kulit, spiked aksesori pergelangan, dll. Personil band juga bisa memakai nama-nama samaran seperti yang dipakai oleh band tersebut: Venom, Mayhem, Graveland, Godkiller, dll.

Choose your meat carefully

Choose your meat carefully

Growing meat is unproductive and not an efficient or cheap way to get your daily calorie's. For example if you where to feed a animal oats in order to get them big and meaty you will eventually get a certain amount of meat in exchange for all the oats you have fed the animal. But if people where to eat the oats instead of the meat yielded from feeding them to the animals. You would be able to feed a lot more people for the same amount of oats and work involved. You are able to get more dietary calories out of the same amount of land.
This is just an interesting fact but the real reason why I am writing this article is an entirely different one.

Inflicting harm on somebody else human or animal is evil ! Every time you inflict harm on somebody directly or indirectly you are responsible. Every time you eat Meat from a mistreated animal you become part of the cause of its suffering. Even if you do not grow and Butcher the animal yourself. If you were to hire somebody else to inflict harm or assassinate somebody you would be responsible for these happenings. It is not any different when you consume the meat of mistreated animals.

The amount of evil entities involved is numerous when it comes to animal cruelty. The chain of evil involves politicians, the government, farmers, butchers, stores and supermarkets, and and very importantly the Consumer. Politicians and the government are guilty of allowing such farms and slaughterhouses to operate under such inhumane and cruel conditions, Knowing that it is within their power to put a stop to it. But they do nothing. In fact Capitalists encourage the exact opposite they only care for their own personal selfish needs regardless on how many bodies they have to step on on their way to the top. This is the very backbone of capitalistic thinking and how our society today operates. Meat production along with just about everything else in our society today has become a huge Capitalistic industry. Free to do and trade whatever they like as long as they have the capital to do it. Farmers will grow animals for slaughter under the most terrible conditions. Only one thing matters to them and that is how much money can they get out of this. The slaughter house along with everybody working in it is responsible. They take animals from the farmer and slaughter them knowing these animals have bean mistreated. This makes each one of these butchers responsible for contributing to this horrible shit system. The supermarkets are responsible for selling these same animals knowing how wrong it is yet they still do it for the glory of Capitalism and their overgrown fat wallets.

The final person in the chain is the consumer if you are one of them I urge you to never again buy meat from such a place. It is only because of the consumer that this industry can exist and for each end every animal that you refuse to buy one animal less will be grown. This makes a difference to that animal and it makes a difference to your karmic debt. Not eating meat from such suppliers makes you a ethically upright person. If you must eat meat Grow the animal yourself under ethically correct conditions and kill it yourself, If you cannot kill the animal yourself perhaps you should not be eating much meat and the meat that you do eat should be from a happy animal that comes from a reliable source, where the animals well-being comes first.

Meat is not necessary to maintain good Muscle tone. Yes meat does have complete proteins But So does milk and free range eggs. An egg is not a chicken until it has bean inseminated and incubated, and a cow can produce far more milk than its Calf will ever need when milked properly and yes cows do need to have calf's otherwise in twenty years or so Cows would become extinct.

Milk products and And eggs have proteins with all necessary amino acids. Even Plants have sufficient protein and when a large variety of plants is consumed each plant contributes a different mix of amino acids which when combined give you all the essential amino acids. Bees get al the protein in bee pollen from Plants and yet bee pollen has a complete range of amino asides.

Super large amounts of Protein are not necessary even for athletes or bodybuilders. In fact some studies have found that excessive protein consumption depresses testosterone production in men, not something a athlete would appreciate.

If you can live without I am proud of you. If you must have meat hunt and kill yourself or get it from a trustworthy source. Meat needs not be eaten every day and it must not be the main part of your meal. And the most important question you have to keep in mind when consuming a animal is How would you feel if you where the one that has lived this animals live was it a happy live or was it a live where you wish you wouldn't have bean born at all?

If you disagree and think that the pleasure of eating meat is worth inflicting pain for. and if you think it is acceptable to gain wealth at the expense of somebody else's suffering. There shell be a daemon for you. A daemon whose joy is so gruesome. Like you have done so many times he to shall feast and reap hes gain.

GOD IS EITHER NOT AL GOOD OR NOT AL POWERFUL

God is either not al good, or not al powerful. Assuming that there is a God, and we know trough experience that there  is suffering. Than that god must either be not all good, and that is why he allows suffering even tough he has the power to stop it. If on the other hand God is al good, then he must not be al powerful. This would mean that he wants to put a stop to our suffering but does not have the absolute power to do so.
