Swedish Black Metal

Known for its extreme and aggressive sound, Swedish black metal is a subgenre of heavy metal that emerged in the early 1990s. It is characterized by its fast-paced drumming, distorted guitars, and raspy vocals. The lyrics often deal with themes of darkness, Satanism, and anti-Christianity. Bands like Bathory, Dissection, and Marduk are some of the most prominent Swedish black metal bands.
