# Black 'n' Roll Metal

**Black 'n' Roll Metal** is a metal sub-genre, formative in the 2000s. TheMetalNet maps 10 bands and 22 albums under it.

Black ’n’ roll swaps black metal’s frostbitten grimness for swagger, welding raspy shrieks and tremolo riffs to rock ’n’ roll grooves, punk energy, and actual hooks. The style traces back to the loose, catchy side of Venom and Motörhead and was carried by Norwegian acts like Darkthrone’s later era, Satyricon, and Aura Noir before Kvelertak pushed it toward broad rock appeal. Tempos are mid-paced and headbang-friendly, and lyrics mix occult darkness with sex, booze, and good-time nihilism. It is black metal you can move to.
