Black 'n' roll is a subgenre that melds the raw, aggressive elements of black metal with the swagger and straightforward simplicity of rock 'n' roll. It keeps the cold, sometimes lo-fi aesthetic of black metal and its grim, satanic, or pagan themes, but infuses them with catchy riffs, a rocking groove, and an infectious energy reminiscent of classic rock. This genre often eschews the icy, atmospheric soundscapes typical in traditional black metal for a grittier, more rhythmic sound. Black 'n' roll is characterized by a more accessible and rock-driven approach to songwriting, featuring more pronounced melodies and a sense of rebellious fun that shakes off some of the seriousness usually associated with black metal's orthodoxy. The result is a raw, yet groovy hybrid that resonates with fans of both black metal and old-school rock.
