But that is missing the black metal elephant in the heavy metal room. After all, there is "black metal" in the name "bestial black metal", ...• Top 10 Death Metal Influences on War Metal In the previous two posts we saw how war metal (aka bestial black metal) came from being seen as a mere offshoot of black metal, an turning into an entire extreme metal genre of its own. We also covered the origins and foundations of the bestial black met...• The Origins and Foundations of the Bestial Black Metal Genre In the previous post, we discussed how the war metal genre diverges from its black metal "predecessor".
