Perhaps you're right. I'd never ventured into black/norwegian metal other than maybe classic Cradle of filth or Dimmu Borgir. But even those felt goody and sort of like an act to me. I'll give those a listen, thanks.

Check out Immortal, kickass norwegian black metal without all the drama.

or maybe Wolves in a throne room would work for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsvFVUu9olw

I can definitely recommend bands like Lifelover, Psychonaut4, Totalselfhatred, Alcest, Lantlos, Bonjour Tristesse, Drawn into Descent if you want to experience some not-so-happy metal

And then there's funeral doom metal, stuff like Mordor "Odes" or Worship "Last CD Before Doomsday", which is utterly bleak:

Never thought I would see these bands mentioned on HN. Would have even missed a heartbeat to see Thergothon or Skepti but Mordor is an absolute total surprise. Cheers, good fellow!

The first Burzum records were pretty not-so-happy. Pretty good if you can ignore the ideology ...

Varg is a murderer—he does claim self-defense, and that his victim, also an obsessive black metal creator, meant to murder HIM—and an arsonist, and politically outrageous. He meant and means every bit of it, and would earnestly explain to you that (for instance) the arson is church burnings, and that the Christian Church has executed a pogrom of his ancient Viking culture, using the most ruthless methods.

As he's talking about things like the Inquisition and the obliteration of pagan cultures, he's not wrong about some of his history.

It's a pretty unusual pagan who gets as murderous as Varg about historical injustices, though.
