At least we got some great black metal out of it. <\/p>\n<p>From the Northern cold to the Australian outback, great black metal albums have come from all over the globe this decade. The genre has exploded in Eastern Europe, while black metal&#8217;s pegan roots have even infiltrated the lore of indigenous cultures. It&#8217;s been an endlessly fascinating era for black metal, so check out these brutal masterworks from the 2020s.  <\/p>\n<p>This band is so fucking great. After the twisted vortex that was 2016\u2019s <em>V\u00e4r\u00e4htelij\u00e4<\/em>, how much deeper into the black hole could <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/metalinjection.net\/tag\/oranssi-pazuzu\">Oranssi Pazuzu<\/a><\/strong> go? Instead of topping their previous album\u2019s hypnosis, the band went cinematic with their surrealism and even touched on industrial elements with <em>Mestarin kynsi<\/em>. This record is <strong>Oranssi<\/strong>&#8216;s equivalent to what <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/metalinjection.net\/tag\/goblin\">Goblin<\/a><\/strong> achieved with their <em>Susperia<\/em> soundtrack. It\u2019s just a masterpiece.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe title=\"ORANSSI PAZUZU - Uusi teknokratia (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ScMbsZW3qn4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Think you had <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/metalinjection.net\/tag\/uada\">UADA<\/a><\/strong> figured out? The lead riffs to \u201cDjinn\u201d singlehandedly destroyed what you thought this band was capable of. How could something sound so cold, yet so upbeat? In a nutshell, that\u2019s the story of <strong>UADA<\/strong>\u2019s third studio album. There\u2019s so much classic \u201880s influence to drink in throughout <em>Djinn<\/em> \u2014 just the timeless simplicity of undeniably good songwriting. This record\u2019s all about the craft.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe title=\"UADA - Djinn (Official Audio)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/29pekV40PO4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>If you\u2019re into black metal World War I scholars <strong>1914<\/strong> or <strong>Minenwurfer<\/strong>, then <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/metalinjection.net\/tag\/kanonenfieber\">Kanonenfieber<\/a><\/strong> should be right up your alley. Sung entirely in German, <em>Menschenm\u00fchle<\/em> is a stylistic peak into the bleakest war of the last few centuries. It\u2019s an existential nightmare mixed with the brute force of tanks treading and cannons blasting. The slower moments on this record really stand out, creating a truly uncomfortable listen when the buttery double kicks are abandoned for slow marches.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe title=\"Kanonenfieber - Menschenm\u00fchle (Full Album Premiere)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pDtXNckpqvc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Debemur Morti Productions couldn\u2019t find a shitty album if they stepped in it. Every release sets the standard for modern avant garde metal, including the extremely abrasive <em>Rien ne suffit<\/em> by <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/metalinjection.net\/tag\/plebeian-grandstand\">Plebeian Grandstand<\/a><\/strong>. This is such an antisocial listen \u2014 ugly industrial tones, atonal guitars, wailing vocals, drums that refuse to create a lasting groove. It\u2019s just fiendish from note one. \u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe title=\"Plebeian Grandstand - Rien ne suffit (Full Album)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iUVKUwHG4PY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The hype is real, my friends. This one-man Native American black metal project is a phenomenal tribute to indigenous mythology, the natural wonders of the western continent and the pagan beauty of traditional black metal. Everything on this album (and <em>Blackbraid II<\/em>) flows like a great river \u2014 wondrous and unstoppable throughout.
