ehh kind of, though even on In the Sign of Evil there were a lot of lyrical themes about war, ie Burst Command Till War (as mentioned above) though it's obviously more the musical style that influenced the genre more than the themes
I thought ppl were lying but ig not. I unsubbed bc he dies that but whines if he's "supporting corrupt bands" then fucking talks about how good those bands are
Sri Lanka and India has a particular scene. Pure chaotic mixing war, noise and power electronics. Lot of bands there mix this and it's making that scene so unique.
@@jakestatefarm2470 yes. See Konflict, Genocide Shrine, Tetragrammacide. All too extreme and very intense stuff. Kolkata has a very extreme and particular scene too.
@@deathdoomed yeah I never heard of genocide shrine I’ll check them out, dakini, tsalal, and harsh immolation are intense too. Honestly warnoise is the most extreme style of music for me. Regular harsh noise/harsh noise wall kind off becomes relaxing after a while but warnoise has all the noise but they are constantly beating you with raw drums and wild guitar feedback and speed. Only style that can compete is the free death/blasting brutal death scene like ecenathrakth. Fucking awesome stuff
That PunkRockMBA dig was brutal! Weirdly enough, I think I commented on your video the last time you mentioned him and said that I found it sussy that he seems to only listen to music popular with teenage girls, and… well, it was more prescient than I even thought 😬
i just watched an interview w him and sanguisugabogg vocalist and he definitely knows what he’s talking about music wise. But his videos are catered to like gen z normies? i think he’s definitely just pandering
@@Sergio-nb4hjthat's where he lost me forever. 😂 the bitching about the lyrics when he listens to bands that write about the same shit. But dating someone that young is worse. So I won't ever go back.
Just a side note tho, Blasphemy also listened to a lot of punk, Also the Classics like Motörhead and Venom, saying their main influences might’ve been Kreator Endless Pain and Sodoms EP release is just as equivalent as the first bands I mentioned. They also listened to Destruction which happens to be a band not many bring up for big inspiration of first wave black metal. They were big thrash fans.
Black Winds was a punk rocker that got into the early Black and Death underground bands. Read their old interviews from early 90's. Dude has had an Exploited-style mohawked skull tatt on his chest since before Blasphemy. The other members were more thrashers that wanted go in a more extreme direction than their previous bands like Witches Hammer. As for Destruction, I would say their most important contribution was their fashion sense. Sarcofago copied it but were way crazier sounding, then Holocausto I'm pretty sure coined the term "War Metal" it's on the back of their "Campo de Exterminio" album from '87.
I prefer to call it "bestial black metal", rather than "war metal", because it's a subgenre of black metal with an extra adjective, just like brutal death metal is a subgenre of death metal. "War metal" makes it sound like it's exclusively about war thematically, which is not the case always, but "bestial" describes its overall sound more accurately.
I love OUGH Metal, it's oddly fun to listen to. Bestial Warlust is also a solid "classic" band. Some of my modern picks not mentioned in the video would be Profane Order, Teitanblood, Primitive Warfare, Aparthiva Raktadhara, and Brahmastrika
@@MRSludgedude They're more Bestial Black/ Death, perfectly in line with what War Metal is since it's the crossover. Also, Teitanblood is the phoenix from the ashes of Proclamation and some of the other predecessors from the Spain/ Spanish War Metal scene.
I personally think that early Nunslaughter demos have a great influence on war metal and extreme metal as a whole. Its just so harsh, raw, and evil for its time and i fuckin love it.
Alright, I'm gonna be 'that guy' here, but in my opinion, grindcore has a bigger part in the evolution of war/bestial/whatever metal than is given here. Blasphemy owed as much to old Napalm Death and Agathocles as they did to Sarcofago and early Sodom. If someone had given me a tape with Blasphemy's music back in the day, without titles or other info, I would not have thought of it as black metal, rather that they sounded like Assück's deadbeat nephew. EDIT: I did not know that about The Punk Rock MBA. Explains a lot in hindsight.
Yeah, I was listening to Revenge the first time today and they really sound like 50% (Gore)Grind; having those pitch shifted gurgle vocals, too, very much like early Carcass. If I just heard it without knowing what its "supposed to be", I would have called it Grind, I think.
What I love about Revenge specifically is that they have an element of grindcore to their style of war metal. It adds a level of intensity that I don't really get from many other bands. Vermin Womb, Pissgrave, and the Middle Eastern bands that Wyattxhim mentioned are the few that come close.
On the random side note Archgoat performs perfectly live and defiantly matches up with their recordings. I am 34 so defiantly giving my age away when I say I am happy to say I got see this band live way back in 2009 and the show was freaking worth it despite the venue having no air conditioning..
the Indian and Sri Lankan noise/war scene is so good, i initially got into that stuff with Tetragammacide and ended up falling down the rabbit hole with groups like Kapala and Genocide Shrines. best extreme metal i've ever heard in my life, hands down. Biological Warfare from Korea and Sewerhermit from Japan are also phenomenal, the latter leaning more into the grind side of things with very unique vocals that sort of remind me of Phyllomedusa.
There is some evolution in the Revenge catalogue if you listen closely: early stuff is more akin to 90s grind (bleeding over from Axis of Advance), then they went through a bit of a gasmask metal era, and then honed in on the most straight ahead, pure brutality ever made.. Hail J Read!!
slight correction: india/sri lanka is considered south asia, south east east means countries like singapore and phillipines Deiphago is one of those war metal bands from south east asia, specifically phillipines great video btw
I've listened to enough Konflict at this point to actually start to hear the riffs. Also, that new Profane Order album has been one of my favorite releases of the year so far.
Beherit didn't make "The Oath of Black Blood". It was done buy their record company by combing two of their demos that the band didn't want to use. The record company did that because the band wasted their budget. Laiho changed to Ambient after moving to other city and didn't want to look for new band members.
The way I see it since Conqueror you can't make out the riffs anymore, to the point where I would question if it's still metal. The link with noise and extreme electronics is very obvious to me, modern War metal is certainly way closer to the sound and presentation of acts like Genocide Organ than it is to Venom or other extreme metal.
So I'm not really seeing any mention of Diocletian anywhere (aside from the pic of amongst the flames in the video) and I just wanna say their album gesundrian is some 🔥🔥🔥 if you like war metal
Ive read a plenty of times war metal genre tags on grindcore music but i never got the pleasure to dig further into what it seemed to me as a rabbit hole. Now im dying for listening all his albums and performances if there are any out there, not expecting to be on yt but equally as curious
Blasphemy, Damaar, Prehistoric War Cult and Profane Order are my favourites right now out of the whole war metal scene. Archgoat doesn't really do anything for me, but I respect their savagery! ÖUGH! 🐐🤘
Yeah Archgoat isn't very interesting to me. Hades Archer, Weregoat, Blasphemy, Death Worship, Proclamation Slaughtbbath are favorites that come to mind
@@wheelsofmercury Another one I just heard a few months ago is Goatsmegma from Estonia. Demonic Goat Smegma Eating Ritual. Its one I definitely will acquire soon.

I also would've mentioned sacrementary abolishment/axis of advance since they're kind of an odball with their sound. Also I think the last revenge release shows some progression with there being more punk influences and the second blasphemy album doesn't sound the same as the first. But good takes nonetheless.
Dunno if "militant" is really the right word to discribe the genre, since that implies some sence of order and structure. Also a lot of people mention bolt thrower. No they are not war metal but you can definately throw them in with the germans and brazilians, especially their earlier releases did have that chaotic grindcore-ish sound.
I came across a band by the name of Vargr a while back, and I'm not sure if they can be attributed to war metal at all, but their album Wehrmacht Satanas is by far the most abrasive think I've ever heard
This is the Russian one apparently, not to be confused with Steeve Hurdle's (RIP) band or the band from the US or the one from Sweden or the one-man project also from Sweden all of the same name
Mad respect for the C.U.M. "Death to Pigs" LP. I've got it in my collestion as well but I also own the tape with the same name but with different tracks released back in the end of the nineties.
The first band I heard who took war metal into something a bit less one-dimensional was Diocletian. When I first listened to Gesundrian by them, it sounded just as punishing as any other war metal album, but with much more variety and - at least for this style of metal - clarity to the production. I do like what bands like Blasphemy and Revenge do, but it's SO relentless that there's not much room for variation.
I prefer the term Bestial Black Metal, because it's probably the least human sounding genre of extreme metal. All those demonic, anthropomorphic beasts on the album covers look exactly like what I imagine the musicians to look like lol
I don’t know a whole lot about war metal but I’ve listened to some before like Revenge, and Blasphemy. I didn’t get too much into it, but this was a few years back. Personally, I’m really into black metal.. but more like epic/pagan/medieval bm. That’s just me though. I’ll probably check it out again. Good video, thank you sir.
@@gagacrazy10 What would you classify it as? Like I almost want to say it's like... "Melodic War Metal" or something, which sounds so contradictory and antithetical to what OP is saying war metal is all about, but it really works IMO. It's just so ominous and so powerful
It's one of those genres that's much better to listen to if you just shut your brain off. Once I accepted it as mostly just brutal nonsense, I liked it a lot more. I tend to lift weights to it, or throw it on to pass time at work, instead of focusing on it like deeper music
This is kind of related to Revenge, but I got banned from r/Metal in 2015 for saying Sarcofago is not black metal and that Angelcorpse is war metal. I got massively downvoted for that comment. The comment thread was about black/blackened metal in general. It was even said by the mod who banned me "Certain bands have a general consensus by us (out of quotes, but WHO IS US??) of what their genre is. You cannot come into this sub and say that bands are what they aren't, that's called trolling." He even tried to argue with me that "war metal isn't a real genre." Given that Pete Helmkamp was in Revenge for a time, it was wild to me that people would be so angry when I say Angelcorpse is war metal. Exterminate has HEAVY war metal vibes, from lyrics to the imagery (the album art is literally demons and tanks). Even Kerasphorus had a tinge of war metal to it: the relentless blastbeats and dissonant riffs are proof of it. Helmkamps vocals are bland and monotone but that's his style and it's still pretty evil. Times HAVE changed though. War metal is now a genre that is well accepted in r/Metal, but I am still banned from the subreddit lol
Primal Incinerators of the Moral Matrix is a lot more apporachable than their other stuff, if you haven't heard that record. The other material is kind of drowned in harsh noise, yeah, hahaha
war metal is actually the first genre i got into with metal. i listened to super aggressive rap before that and i absolutely loved war metal when i first heard it

The irony that Sodoms albums that influenced war metal are not the albums obsessed with war lol.
Lmao, true, I didn't even think about that!
"Burst Command Till War"...
ehh kind of, though even on In the Sign of Evil there were a lot of lyrical themes about war, ie Burst Command Till War (as mentioned above) though it's obviously more the musical style that influenced the genre more than the themes

I do like what bands like Blasphemy and Revenge do, but it's SO relentless that there's not much room for variation.
Beherit is one of my favourite bands 👏
Black and white album cover with red logo is by far my favorite genre.
OUGH!!!!! 🤘🤘
(also nice Enbilulugugal shirt, RIC/ RIP Dustin)
conqueror is so damn catchy lol
I love your content. But the room echo drives me nuts 😭
Can you please use a lavalier?
I’ll be moving soon to an actual house
I want that Enbilulugugal shirt so bad
I prefer the term Bestial Black Metal, because it's probably the least human sounding genre of extreme metal.
All those demonic, anthropomorphic beasts on the album covers look exactly like what I imagine the musicians to look like lol
I don’t know a whole lot about war metal but I’ve listened to some before like Revenge, and Blasphemy. I didn’t get too much into it, but this was a few years back. Personally, I’m really into black metal.. but more like epic/pagan/medieval bm. That’s just me though. I’ll probably check it out again. Good video, thank you sir.
There's some pretty good, and even intense, symphonic black metal for sure.
Would you consider Bolt Thrower to be war metal? Also like to hear your opinion on the band 1914.
I really like 1914 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
@@gagacrazy10 What would you classify it as? Like I almost want to say it's like... "Melodic War Metal" or something, which sounds so contradictory and antithetical to what OP is saying war metal is all about, but it really works IMO. It's just so ominous and so powerful
Bolt Thrower is death metal….check out Archgoat or Proclamation if you want the war metal sound
Love a good 'Explaining' video.
I’ve tried getting into war metal, it’s ok but 90 percent of the songs I heard sounded the same
Blasphemy released five of the same albums
It's one of those genres that's much better to listen to if you just shut your brain off. Once I accepted it as mostly just brutal nonsense, I liked it a lot more. I tend to lift weights to it, or throw it on to pass time at work, instead of focusing on it like deeper music
This is kind of related to Revenge, but I got banned from r/Metal in 2015 for saying Sarcofago is not black metal and that Angelcorpse is war metal. I got massively downvoted for that comment. The comment thread was about black/blackened metal in general. It was even said by the mod who banned me "Certain bands have a general consensus by us (out of quotes, but WHO IS US??) of what their genre is. You cannot come into this sub and say that bands are what they aren't, that's called trolling." He even tried to argue with me that "war metal isn't a real genre."
Given that Pete Helmkamp was in Revenge for a time, it was wild to me that people would be so angry when I say Angelcorpse is war metal. Exterminate has HEAVY war metal vibes, from lyrics to the imagery (the album art is literally demons and tanks). Even Kerasphorus had a tinge of war metal to it: the relentless blastbeats and dissonant riffs are proof of it. Helmkamps vocals are bland and monotone but that's his style and it's still pretty evil.
Times HAVE changed though. War metal is now a genre that is well accepted in r/Metal, but I am still banned from the subreddit lol
i can't even understand what the hell is going on on tetragrammacide albums
Primal Incinerators of the Moral Matrix is a lot more apporachable than their other stuff, if you haven't heard that record. The other material is kind of drowned in harsh noise, yeah, hahaha
ooh yeah, this record is good, I listened to it last year. but these "war noise" albums i won't listen again for sure lol
war metal is actually the first genre i got into with metal. i listened to super aggressive rap before that and i absolutely loved war metal when i first heard it
Where did you buy that shirt? I looked everywhere and I can’t find it
How do you know this about Finn, Wyatt? We need more receipts on this situation, because WOW...😨That was shocking to hear.
If you go to his instagram, and find his wife's instagram through tags and scroll back 10 years, you'll see he's in photos with her as early as 2013. I believe she posts about her high school graduation in like 2014ish, so he was at the very least, grooming her before she graduated. He's in his early 40s now.
@@becbec4820 Yikes! Thank God I don’t go on Instagram… Like I said in another comment: very disappointing… I haven’t unsubscribed from Finn/PRMBA yet because I’m gonna wait to see how this plays out.
the punk rock nba read i SCREAMED
this guy knows more about metal than Fenriz
Imagine Wyatt and Fenriz having a conversation about music, it'd last atleast a week non-stop.
@@bambiSH2 I would watch the hell outta that
Is India in the Middle East? News to me
I’d like to know what they actually know about war.
I don't listen to too much war metal, but I do enjoy stuff like Antichrist War Machine, Konflict and Kapala
07:06 was absolutely brutal ☠️
BEAST-EEE-AL. Other that that petty annoyance I greatly appreciate this video an your true knowledge of the music and bands.
BEST-EE-AL
This explains so much about PRMBA
Some lesser known acts fellow war metal fans might enjoy(some are war noise): Crucifixion Ritual, Concrete Winds, Bloodclipse, Supremative, Astaroth(TX), Spiritual Desecration, Pyromancer, Wolves of Perdition, Malacatus, Complot, Black Imperium, & Genocidal Rites
Enbilulugugal now there's an esoteric band
And *WHY* are people not talking about finns situation more?! I keep seeing that pdf. everywhere in my feed
