Blackened Death Metal combines the untamed aggression and technical elements of Death Metal with the dark, often occult atmosphere of Black Metal. This category unites the best tracks that impress with blast-beat-laden drums, growling vocals, racing riffs, and a dark, menacing mood. With bands like Behemoth, Belphegor, Dissection, and Goatwhore, Blackened Death Metal has created a genre that carries both the raw brutality of Death Metal and the mystical and ominous atmosphere of Black Metal. The music is brutal and technically precise while simultaneously building an intense, dark mood through symphonic or atmospheric elements. Let yourself be carried away by the apocalyptic sounds and dark intensity of Blackened Death Metal and experience a fusion of two of the heaviest metal genres.
