Ghostemane is a transgressive artist, who, I guess falls within the rap genre, but is very influenced by the metal aesthetic. Some of his beats are certainly heavy, but the vocals are very much rap with his more notable songs. He's experimented with genre-bending before, but recently launched a new project, BLACKMAGE, which is very much black metal.
I was skeptical, but I gave it a listen and it's definitely black metal. Some solid riffage, and the type of shit where if it was just some underground Bandcamp, and not a notable rapper, most metal fans would be fawning all over it.
Ghostename has previously dipped his toes into metal doing a split with crossover group Ho99o9.
What do you think about it?
