A musical genre inspired by death metal and heavy metal, and pioneered by sucky-ass bands like Venom.
Generally split up into several subgenres like Depressive black metal, Raw black metal, Blackened death metal, Drone metal and Pure black metal.
Depressive black metal tends to derive influence from ambience and suicide, with bands like Xasthur, Burzum, Hate Forest and Be Persecuted, who tend to structure their songs around misanthropy and depression.
Raw black metal was formed as a bulwark against recent black metal trends, which threaten to make it a mainstream genre. Vlad Tepes, Grand Belial's Key and Peste Noire are two of the major bands of this subgenre, which emphasizes purposely low production quality to keep the music from ever being able to be mainstream.
Blackened death metal is a fusion subgenre of death and black metal, with bands like Behemoth which mix traditional death metal style with lyrics and titles from black metal, typically.
Drone metal, with bands such as Sunno ))) and Boris tends to be more ambient than black, wich a mix of antireligious lyrics/titles and purely instrumental, paganistic form.
Pure black metal, (which is becoming rarer as the genre approaches mainstream quality,) with bands like Nargaroth and Marduk, tends to have stereotypically antichristian/ antireligious titles and lyrics, as well as a structure exceeding death metal in intensity. Most early black metal falls into this category, but most early black metal could also pass as raw black metal as well.

The music that everyone secretly loves, but most are too afraid to admit it.
Crazy, kickass guitars, insane drumming, and very diverse vocals, from clear singing to hellish growling.
Pure anger turned into pure extasy.

There's no such thing as punk metal. Why would you even look this up?
You typed in punk metal, because you are stupid.

Talentless tripe created 10 years ago by record companies to replace the absence of real metal from the mainstream. Usual audience: angst-ridden teens who watch MTV religiously, or corporate slaves jumping on the next trend.
Korn, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Mudvayne, Disturbed, etc.

Form of music brought back to mainstream after grunge was thought to "destroy" real heavy metal of the 70's, 80's and early 90's.
These "Nu-Metal"-ists often use rapping and DJ sounds to enhance the sound. Although they are not really metal bands, they pose to be by using angry growls and screams over weak, riffless guitars uncommon to real heavy metal.
Downing Pool, Ill Nino, Cold, Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit

The sound of true black evil in man.
Für manche ist black metal spaß, für manche eine epoche ihrem leben, für manche aber auch nur zeitvertreib!
Für mich ist es Haß, ist es Kraft!
Für mich is black metal Blut!
Black Metal ist Krieg!!!!!
