Usbm

USBM, or United States Black Metal, is a genre that encompasses a diverse array of American bands characterized by their unique approach to the traditional black metal ethos. Originating in the early 1990s as an answer to the European scene, USBM artists often blend the fierce, raw energy and lo-fi production of their predecessors with innovative elements drawn from various musical styles. While some, like Black Witchery, encapsulate the genre's aggressive, blasphemous spirit, others, such as Agalloch and Wolves In The Throne Room, incorporate atmospheric, folk, and ambient influences, producing a more avant-garde and introspective sound. Thematically, USBM bands may explore topics ranging from nature and mysticism to nihilism and the occult, all while maintaining the distinct, harsh vocal styling, tremolo picking, and blast beats that define black metal.
