      same, I love the concept of the genre. it makes perfect sense soundwise, especially with more ambient stuff like burzum, though I have yet to find any blackgaze that I actually enjoy

      As an old dog who´s been into Shoegaze for 30 years, I have to agree that those guitars could only blend with one badasss hardcore genre! So, a perfect match in my book!!!

    The thing I think makes blackgaze so good is that its always up to interpretation, every band in the genre has something different to offer and it varies depending on influence and geography, blackgaze is definitely a genre that has a lot to do with culture but even though culture varies due to geography bands are still connected by attributes and characteristics through music, blackgaze is a genre all about unity and community and it's beautiful, I myself am the guitarist of a Blackgaze band called Ocean Eater and our sound varies from other artists but that doesn't prevent us from connecting with other bands

    Thank you so much for this informative and well structured video! It wasn’t just a bunch of names thrown around but supported with a lot of context instead!
    The reason I became interested in this genre is because I am a huge Sleep Token fan and their song Vore really stood out to me. From what I have heard this fits the description of blackgaze pretty well and the song has been described as such!
    i will check out the playlist and hopefully end up with some more amazing music to listen to although the satanic elements are making me uncomfortable tbh (I am aware that this is art and not meant to be taken literally for the most part at least)

    • @robbiej2734

    I'd throw Karg, a side project of Harakiri for the Skys singer, into the ring. In my opinion, Karg is an even better version of Harakiri for the Sky, though lyrics are mostly german, sometimes even straight up austrian-german, which can be very hard understand even for us germans

      It's a nice vibe. I dig it. I also love shit like Immortal and Dark Funeral. And even more fringe black metal sub-genres like DSBM. There's no harm in experimentation and pushing music to do new things. In fact, quite the opposite. Nobody wants to hear the same album with a different name a billion times for thirty, forty years. Music has to evolve over time to keep from growing stale. To change a bit so the old can remain legendary and not grow tired by being endlessly reiterated and so the new things that come out that do fit the bill of "trve cvlt" black metal don't feel stale from oversaturation.
