When I brought up the term "black metal" when talking to their vocalist about their music, I remember him instantly butting in and saying "not really.....more so atmosphere than anything." I guess I was taken by surprise since Fallujah is a band that I would never expect to be in a black metal thread xP but thank you for showing your perspective!

As of the atmosphere, I feel that the atmosphere and ambience found in black metal is a lot different and much more unique than the types that can come from death metal.
Nah, I knew what you meant, I just don't really take genre classification all that seriously. All of the stuff that I'd consider metal is classified simply as "metal" on my iTunes for that reason. I usually only use sub-genre labels as a way to describe a musical theme to someone who hasn't heard the music.
