Black Metal is an extreme, and explicitly Satanic, anti-Christian, racist, and violent subgenre of Heavy metal music. Black Metal was first developed by many different bands from across Europe, but was first popularized by the media attention surrounding several Norweigen bands and the various murders and arsons they members were involved in in the early 90's. Since then black metal has gained an underground following with fans and bands appearing all over the world. While less common now, the violence and mayhem that marked the early black metal scene persists to this day, with violence, killings, and vandalism inspired by black metal bands occuring sporadically but no infrequently.
