Explaining USBM (United States Black Metal)

The first AEvangelist album is *chef's kiss.

Hail USBM 🧎🥚🐍🐉

Where massochist😅🎉🎉

No Velvet Cacoon?

Deafheaven are garbage.

Interesting that the word Von as a verb,probably origins from "nynorsk",the oldest of the two official languages in Norway spoken apx by 20% of the population:literally means:hope,belief,yearn e.t.c.
But the word von [v(w)oon] has long been out of ordinary use,in these Haaploese Tider.

Ancestors-Carnis Vale-Fever Nest-Slavehouse-Bone Awl-Nachtlicht-Ancient Necromancy are some of my
fave u.s.b.m bands

Just the fact that Deaf Heaven brings all these Pu$$ies into the scene completely diminishes any kind of positive influence. Next thing you'll know you'll be going to a show and getting bumped into by an afro/trans-queen wannabe hood rich/ valley girl/boy/kid from the suburbs wearing a Burzum shirt and flamboyantly talking about how he wishes he/she could twerk like Miki Manaj Minaj while at the same time barrowing black metal aesthetics exploding with Bauhaus Hot-topic finger nail polish saying he/she/it enjoys listening to Nokturnal Mortum & Grand Belial's Key. Just walking contradictions all over the scene like there is'nt already enough. Yeah, no thank you Deaf Heaven. They can all d!e a $low de@th and catch lymphoma. Hail 'True"BM! De@th to F@lse Metal forever and always. - Scurvy Azatoth signing out from Chicago! satan.

Sunbather is a great album & will outlive the hate

Nice enbilulugal shirt

Damn you are so dependable! I know you seem to have mixed feelings about them but I loved Abruptum and just filled a whole playlist with their/his(?) stuff. I can count on every new video you make turning me on to some great new artist I haven't heard before. I truly can't thank you enough.

What is the band on your t shirt?

Demoncy is definetly the find of the month

Deafheaven's Sunbather is a direct response to Weakling's Dead as Dreams. Weakling walked so Deafheaven could run.

Salutations. I am from Denver and I think. Hadez : Death Terror is the coolest Metal song in history. Maybe sounds like Blasphemy but it is older 1988 bro and they made many songs : Klattu Varada Fixto, Eternal Hate, Passport to Hell, all masterpieces. Grandmasterpieces man. Death Terror is the coolest Metal song for sure.
To my surprise Hadez are from Peru. Lima city yehh better than Mortem. Sarcófago was the King in Brazil. Hadez was the King in Peru thats what I read Euronymous from Mayhem sent a letter to them he said they were one of his favorite bands. I love VON, Leviathan but these Hadez make Metal very demonic and chaotic as fukk.
Death Terror, Klattu Varada Fixto, Eternal Hate, Passport to Hell.
Holyfkking rules man!!!!!!

I'm obsessed with Typhus and Sothis. A bit later in the timeline... middle era by today's time actually. But really good stuff

Damn man, I really enjoy your channel! While I already knew most of the stuff you talk about I got more insight on a lot of bands and also discovered a few new ones. I like that you're not just reading up these infos, but just talking freely. Keep up the good work bro \m/
Obviously you got my subscription too ;)

Weltmacht 😎

I’ve been watching your videos on and off for years now, and it’s always the same

You have a very obnoxious, condescending way of conducting yourself - it’s like you have this built in expectation that we are suppose to accept whatever stupid BS that comes out of your mouth.

You need to get out more - touch grass and work
on your communication skills.

Don't forget, Von's Satanic Blood demo was an influence on Second-Wave Black Metal; people like Varg and Euronymous mentioned it at the time.

Aesthethica by Liturgy deserves a mention here, regardless of what the gate-keeping purists say.

Yeah i always thought VON was the first usbm group

Watain actually got their name from the VON song Watain

I always thought judas Iscariot made Burzum look kinda light

Its like psychedelic rock(uk) vs acid rock (us) or goth rock vs death rock i agree with you

Gelal also noted that many of his riffs are bluegrass inspired

where did you get that shirt? I played in several Enbilulugugal albums and it's quite rare to see a Tshirt out there

None

Because USBM cannot be said as a word, it's spoken by pronouncing the letters instead. It's an initialism, not an acronym.

United States Bowel Movement.

GBK and Judas Iscariot. All else suck

agriculture, anyone? mizmor?

USBM is fucking shit, european Black Metal will always be better. Greetings from Buenos Aires.

I visited a friend once and was curious about what he was listening. I asked him "Hey! now you listen to black metal?" "Nah" he said "These are some Nirvana rare demos and B-sides"

All you need to know about USBM is GBK

U S bowel movements

No Punk=no Black Metal, as simple as that. Punk is an essential part of the original sound. You remove that, you get norsecore.

Interesting theory, but it doesn't hold up. Many USBM bands started before the bands you think they were "responding" to.

Weakling was a joke band, John Gossard said.

My favourite USBM band is from Portland called None. Their album "Damp Chill of Life" is fantastic.

Krieg. Underrated and underreferenced within conversations about USBM.

Thanks for the vid

Black Funeral would be a good retrospective video on their own

umm how about a little band called Ludicra hellooo

What about Alignak from NC, started back in 2003 and Og Tegnet. Also Dead Mountain

EU vs. US Black metal is like the difference between making love and hate fucking. There- I said it.

i really live sunbather and deafheaven as a whole. im not sure what their personal intentions are with thier music, but they put on a great live show and their records and intense and engaging. Thats good enough for me personally. I think tradition is good, but growth and boundary expanding is also good. Just needs to stay balanced, which i think that album does a decent job of doing

My god, Weakling is AMAZING

Early usbm was a bit too rough and raw for me, but they’ve gotten better over the years

Another example of the United States making a response to a European scene with a more angry attitude is punk. I am of the belief that punk belongs to the UK. But the United States can lay claim to hardcore. Stripped down. More angry. No studs and leather. Just sweatshirts and jeans but much faster and stripped down. Punk is European originally, but the United States' response was hardcore.
