I kind of agree with you, Metalhead, but you can't base a whole genre just by lyrics. What, are instrumental black metal bands really not black metal either?

At least Ragnorok's logo is the artist picture, that's something. And christians, this isn't the place. If you wanna convert for some pat on the head then do it somewhere else. BTW 'christian black metal' isn't black metal, if you think I'm wrong, or I'm some annoying elitist fag, your wrong. You don't know what the definition of black metal is. This is a music website, the description is about the music only, bands playing christian black metal are not black metal bands. And the fans are annoying cause they don't know what they're talking about and they're ignorant posers. Posers isn't the word, cause they're not being ignorant intentionally, but that's how you could describe all people which is what black metal is against.

I read a lot of Black Metal lyrics. They don't provoke... They amuse... A lot of blacksters are patetic fools...

And by below, I mean black metal isn't as bad as alternative metal and metalcore. But that goes without saying.

That's an opinion, brah. I never said the genre sucks. I like black metal, but the fans are pretty annoying.

"right below metalcore and alternative metal" LOL. Black metal is probably the best subgenre of heavy metal.

Sadly, one of the most overrated sub-genre of heavy metal, right below metalcore and alternative metal. Not saying that black metal is a bad genre in any way, but I'm not so into the fans...

All black metal promotes christianity and subliminally spreads jesus message, just see the homophobia within the bm-scene. HAIL JESUS [4]
