Venom's album "Black Metal" contained nothing that could be considered melody.

Dimmu Borigr doesn't play inverted power chords therefore = not Black Metal.

face it.

I TAKE IT YOU CANT PLAY ANYTHING BY DIMMU BORGIR?!?!?
DIMMU USE HEAPS OF CHORDS DUDE.
YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT YA TALKING ABOUT DO YOU.lol
THEY OF COURSE USE INVERTED POWER CHORDS
AS MOST BLACK METAL BANDS DO.
VENOM ARE ONE OF MANY.
ALSO IF VENOM WERE MODERN DAY BAND THEY WOULDN'T BE CALLED BLACK METAL. LOL
SO THERE YOU GO MATE.

Chords aren't whats an issue. Do you play guitar? and I haven't memorized any Dimmu Borgir songs but the ones i bothered to look up didn't contain any. I'm not great at guitar (don't get me wrong they aren't bad musicians) so I doubt I could play just by looking.

Snickers by inverted i mean

standard
----
----
----
-3-3
-3-3
-1-1

inverted
----
----
----
-1-1
-3-3
-3-3

hard to explain online but that should.

i can see where you're coming with Opeth, in some of their earlier albums they have a black-ish tinge too them... but not really with Deicide at all...

they have added more melodic (almost synonymous with radio-friendly in metal) elements, with recent albums, to their music. in essence what you have is a watered-down form black metal. black metal was never intended to be listener friendly, really. kinda like what happened to punk/hardcore.

...do you know what an inverted power chord is?
