Best 100 black death metal releases

Black death metal, also known as blackened death metal, is an extreme subgenre of heavy metal that blends elements of black metal and death metal. It’s characterized by death growls, fast tempos, tremolo picking, blast beats, and often features Satanic lyrics and imagery. The genre emerged in the early 1990s when bands began incorporating elements of each other’s styles, creating a sound that is intense, raw, and heavily atmospheric.
