It helps to look at BM as an inversion (like St. Peter’s cross) of death metal: treble/E tuning/opening strumming instead of bass/downtuning/muting, B&W cover art instead of colorful images, exotic personalities instead of hidden band members, and above all…
…grim seriousness and antisocial ideology instead of the otherwise normal and even socially conscious death metal (“Like, were exposing the bad things in society. We’re actually normal”). How hipsters glommed onto it is a mystery.

We must of course mention the unbelievably infuriating humanities dept BM band Liturgy with Hunter Hunt-Hendrix.
