Technical black metal is a subgenre that melds the shadowy, often malevolent atmospheres of traditional black metal with the precision and complexity of technical death metal. Highlighting ferocious speed and intricacy, the musicianship in this genre is of a high caliber, reflected in elaborate song structures, multifaceted riffs, and an advanced level of skill on each instrument. The songs often contain dissonant harmonies and abrupt tempo changes that evoke a sense of chaos and unpredictability. While maintaining the genre's characteristic raw vocal style and themes of nihilism and darkness, bands within technical black metal push the boundaries by incorporating elaborate compositional techniques, showcasing a relentless quest for musical proficiency and innovation within the black metal soundscape.
