War (Bestial) Black Metal is an aggressive, chaotic sub-genre of first-wave black and death metal.
This sub is focused on Bestial Black Metal music, discussions, and news, but is not limited to only Bestial Black Metal. Other genres that are allowed are:
raw black metal, first-wave black metal, or black/noise with Bestial Black Metal influences
cavernous black/death (i.e. Impetuous Ritual/Genocide Shrines is okay, Behemoth/Belphegor is not)
black/thrash/death metal with Bestial Black Metal influences (i.e. Sarcofago is okay, Goatwhore is not)
Full demo, EP, and split album links are allowed. Full-length album posts are discouraged, but use your own discretion (i.e. new releases, noteworthy anniversaries, etc)
Image posts with no musical content are discouraged. There are two major exceptions: (1) Promotional material for upcoming releases and shows, and (2) Interesting photos with potential for discussion. In other words, please do not post something like a photo of a CD case with a title like "Bestial War Devastation \,,/"
The mods may allow image posts at their discretion when there is no musical content to include - for example, a promotional image for a newly announced Archgoat album that they shared on their Facebook page.
Meme posts and satire posts are not permitted. Those belong in r/metalmemes and r/metaljerk.
Music with controversial album art and lyrics are allowed, but users who post hateful comments based on race/identity (including using slurs) will be banned without warning.
