Orthodox Black Metal is a movement within the black metal scene that probably has the fewest followers of all. Its purpose is to make black metal music about praising the gods and the general cosmonology defined by the musicians. Common subjects include luciferianism, theistic satanism, chaotic gnosticism, tenacious deism. Musically, it is raw, but also epic and melodic. It usually has minor-centric melodic harmonies in order to fully convey the essence of evil. less
