what are some good pump up songs? i prefer metal?
In my opinion Yes. Some people only consider True Black metal to be Real. This then of curse depends on the definition of true which traditionally meant raw honest and low fidelity. I however think True should be redefined to label bands that have refused to sell out, bands that don't clutter their websites with endorsement icons or twitter and Facebook share and like buttons. and by that definition even a symphonic black metal band could true. By the old definition Symphonic Black metal is still regarded as Real Black Metal but not as true Black Metal
If In the Nightside Eclipse ain't Black Metal then nothin' is.
Real black metal is as Silenoz described it---heavy metal played with a Satanic attitude.This has nothing to do with symphonies,keyboards,speed,or makeup.It has to do with intensity,with passion,with fearlessness. I like old Behemoth and early Old Man's Child.I like that vague,not super cleanly produced black metal.Like Gorgoroth.Dimmu and Cradle are fine,but they don't take me all the way.
