I was just checking. You never know.
As to "Black Metal" ... nah, I'm not really into it. Some old-school Black Sabbath and the like is about as far as I ever go with metal. (not interested in debating the finer points of it)
My daughter OTOH is a huge fan. Last few years she's been into all this Scandinavian metal .... among other things musical. (She's also currently in a top flight doctoral program for her field .... so, suffice it to say I don't judge people on their choice of music ... listen to what "speaks to you" is what I always say.) She still sends me links to various metal tunes on FB messenger once in a while to try & get me interested. I sample them and try to say something nice ... then I send her back a link to some Metallica song ... she despises Metallica for some reason and I like to get her worked up about it. She's very serious about her music. At least I don't have to listen to her metal around the house anymore! Growling all your lyrics? Nah ... I just don't get it. Doesn't "speak" to me personally.
(hey, btw ... on the topic of music .. anybody want to buy a nice Dean bass with a big Peavey amp, speakers, a little practice amp, hard case, soft case, and other associated bass paraphernalia? 400 bucks and it's all yours. (She left it here at home when she moved out because she lost interest when she took up keyboards and it's cluttering up my man-cave.
LOVE Black Sabbath.
I don't play anything but I'll have to check with a bassist friend who might want the rig.
Your daughter sounds cool. Send her a link to some Nervosa. They're three Brazillian girls doing thrash/death who I've been really impressed with, and she might dig 'em.
I'll admit that all of them seeming like really cool people is a factor. The singer's especially a sweetheart.
She can either scream like an enraged cat, or sing like Beyonce (https://www.instagram.com/p/Begjixln6I_/?hl=en&taken-by=fefemetal ). And she's always donating blood and getting toys to poor kids and stuff. Metal's a weird thing...
