'''Depressive black metal''' (also known as '''black doom metal''', '''suicidal black metal''' or simply '''depressive metal''') is a subgenre of [[black metal]] and [[doom metal]].

The'' depressive black metal'' is distinguished from [[black metal | black classic]] for the particular sound that, while they retain the main features such as sprains sharp voice and scream sounds deliberately imperfect, on the other if they differ in the use of repetitive sounds and dilated, rich influences [[doom metal]] or with inserts of music [[ambient]], with the use of the distorted voice lines, which in turn, become a tool distorted like the others.

History == ==
It is difficult to reconstruct the history of the genre, if it is true that in the early [[1990 | nineties]] was born (in [[Scandinavia]]) black metal, however, is difficult to say what was the true precursor of this kind : many agree in attributing to the'' One Man Band'' Norwegian [[Burzum]], with the album [[1993]] called [[Det som engang var]]. The opera was a great success and, despite being more oriented towards dark ambient sounds, opened the door to a black metal of a more experimental and oppressive.

Another school of thought attributes the birth of this kind to the Norwegian [[Forgotten Woods]] and Australian [[Abyssic Hate]], which left both the classic black metal and it changed the sound.

In addition to the current Scandinavian arising and connected to the Norwegian black metal scene, there is a second wave music: the Legion Noire (the scene black French), which proposed a music bands comparable, in some respects depression. They play it a black metal since more dilated and melancholy, certainly far from the classical Scandinavian school. Among the first group of this scene there are [[Celestia (band) | Celestia]] and between groups who made famous the scene there are [[deadly]] and [[Nocturnal Depression]].
Among the modern and current groups may include also the Dutch [[Urfaust (band) | Urfaust]], depressing own style and sang with a sulfur and primitive.

Music == Features ==
The musical characteristics of this kind are quite difficult to pin down. While the genre proposes the use of mainly screaming, sharp sounds characterized by distortions in the treble, recording sound confusing and often deliberately not sought and usually dark and claustrophobic atmosphere, it can differentiate greatly.

In fact, the current North American, with bands like [[Judas Iscariot]] and [[Leviathan (band) | Leviathan]] play a depressive black metal still very aggressive, where their sharp riffs of black metal guitar riffs give way to oppressive and dark.
Also in America, [[Xasthur]] adopts a sound closer to the European lenses and marciscenti guitar riffs and a slow pace and resigned.

The European groups instead adopt a slower anchored to the traditional black, much slower and obsessive.
Flourishing are both the'' scene'' with Scandinavian Norwegian [[Forgotten Woods]] and Swedish [[Hypothermia]], [[Shining (band)| Shining]] and [[Silencer]] and the 'scene French 'with bands like [[Celestia]], the [[deadly]] and [[Nocturnal Depression]] and the German'' scene'' where we can find [[Wigrid]] and [[Nyktalgia]].
Also be noted that, especially in Europe, the genre is slowly evolving: greatly improving the quality of register by guitar riffs even closer to doom metal and adding new sound traditional instruments such as piano and acoustic guitars. Some of the most significant groups of this stylistic evolution are [[Nocturnal Depression]] and the recent work of [[The Shining (Swedish band) | Shining]], the [[Exiled from Light]], the [[Winds of Sorrow ]] and the Italians [[Beatrik]] and [[Dark Paranoia]].

Topics == ==
Even the themes generally differ from the classic black metal scene. If the latter, the key issues are the [[pagan]], the [[misanthropy]] and [[nihilism]], depressive black metal in all matters of a more introspective are taken to the extreme and exaggerated.

In fact, black doom metal, the topics covered in the songs express a pessimistic view of life. They focus mainly on the [[solitude (company) | solitude]], the melancholy, the sadness, the [[despair]], the desolation, the [[death]] and [[suicide]] and no sense of everything.

Suicidal Black Metal == ==
Some groups of this scene, such as [[The Shining (Swedish band) | Shining]] and [[Forgotten Tomb]], are actually only came to develop the theme of the [[suicide]]: these bands are incorporated by some in suicidal depressive black metal, which, however, has the same characteristics as musical depressive normal. Due to these issues in highly personal, introspective and praising solitude, most of the groups depressive black consists of solo artists.

The == depressive black funeral doom fused with ==
Among the first groups to fuse the depressive black funeral doom metal with influences can be found in the music of the Danes [[Nortt]] <ref> [http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Nortt/7722 Encyclopaedia Metallum : The Metal Archives - Nortt <! - Title automatically generated ->] </ ref>.
Recently, we are witnessing a constant fusion of depressive black metal with the [[funeral doom metal]]: for example, [[Elysian Blaze]] <ref name="MA_EB"> Group Sheet of [http://metal -archives.com/band.php? id = 17646 Metal-Archives.com]. '' Site accessed 17/08/08'' </ref>, have managed to fuse the two sounds in a consistent and constant, expanding even more the times of their sound until it approached that of the funeral, but using sung in the scream.}}</ref>
