Progressive black metal, an avant-garde subgenre of black metal, shakes the foundations of the traditional black metal scene with its experimental nature. It melds the genre's characteristic raw aggression, tremolo guitar picking, and blast beat drumming with progressive rock's complex structures, technical proficiency, and unorthodox instrumentation. Musicians often deliver philosophical and introspective lyrics while venturing into moody, atmospheric soundscapes. This intricate tapestry weaves together harsh vocals with occasional clean singing, shifting time signatures, and a broad use of keys and synths. Bands like Enslaved and Borknagar have laid down the tracks for this genre, expanding the sonic boundaries far beyond black metal's origins, often incorporating elements of folk, jazz, and classical music to create a diverse and unpredictable auditory experience.
