# Dissonant Black Metal

**Dissonant Black Metal** is a metal sub-genre, formative in the 2000s. TheMetalNet maps 1 bands and 1 albums under it.

Dissonant black metal abandons traditional riffing for atonal, angular chords, warped harmonies, and a disorienting, alien sense of dread. France’s Deathspell Omega and Blut aus Nord led the way in the 2000s, drawing on modern classical, industrial, and avant-garde ideas to build music that feels labyrinthine and otherworldly. Expect complex, polyrhythmic structures, cavernous atmosphere, and often esoteric or theological themes. It is cerebral, difficult, and deliberately unsettling.
