What is the most black metal literature genre?What are some black metal books?
>>25361418Dunno i guess that's sorta like asking what is the most pretentious genre, or which genre has the most poseurs
black metal is a good genre for telling people to fuck off
>>25361418Maldoror certainly fits

>>25361418Sword and sorcery, maybe?Conan, Kull, Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser?
>>25361418The Old Testament
>>25361418Blood Meridian has an entire album (well, ep) dedicated to it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STZrNoPgIN4
>>25361418cosmic horror>>25362857sword and sorcery is power metal
>>25361418LovecraftClive BarkerClark Ashton Smith
>>25361418For fiction, Poe, Machen, Blackwood, Clark Ashton Smith (namely Zothique and Averoigne), weird horror and dark fantasy generally. Also gothic horror like The Monk.For poetry, dark romanticism / decadent; Shelley, Baudelaire, etc.For philosophy, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, Cioran. Also Bataille; though his fiction and transgressive literature influenced Deathspell Omega, afaik it doesn't evoke the black metal vibes that weird/gothic horror does.
>>25363128Good music but Swans' The Seer captures the atmosphere of Blood Meridian better imo.
