Top 25 Black Metal

Welcome!

So for those out of the loop: These votes originated on this sub's official Discord server, where we were having top 25 subgenre votes because we are nerds with too much free time it was a fun as a community to compare notes and see what makes each other tick. Due to the popularity of those votes we decided to open them up to the Shreddit community at large, resulting in 5 fantastic votes so far: Thrash, Death Metal, Trad, Doom and now, Black Metal.

Thank you to all who voted! I would like to say a huge thank you to mr fleshgolem (I don't know your Reddit name) for generating all this wonderful data you are about to read. Another thanks is in order for the lovely Ms /u/imafreakininja, for helping maintain the imgur gallery when most of us mods looked at it and poked it with a stick.

Without further ado, here are the results:
