Unblack metal

Unblack metal (or Christian black metal) is a genre of music that is stylistically black metal, but whose artists are either directly against Satanism, or promote Christianity in their lyrics and imagery. Unblack metal artists are controversial, mainly because black metal's pioneers, especially those of the Second Wave, were anti-Christian. It is also suggested that Christianity contradicts black metal's dark nature and the individualistic and misanthropic ideals of many bands.
