Black metal fashion Wikipedia

Black metal fashion refers to the style of dress preferred by listeners of black metal music.

Clothing is black accessorized with silver jewelry, including inverted pentacles, Mjollnir|Thor's hammers and inverted crosses. There tends to be also a focus on spikes on leather, often worn on the wrists. Males affect a rugged, long-haired look, while females attempt to look both attractive and dangerous.

Most of the 'kvlt' bands take this to an extreme level in their band photos and stage costumes. Gauntlets, axes and swords as accessories, leather pants and long untamed hair, as well as the quintessential Corpsepaint.

The word 'kvlt' is spawned out of the word "cult", and is often used on the internet to describe the most extreme black metal bands, and their music. Could be used to describe bands such as Emperor (band)|Emperor, Darkthrone, Burzum, Bathory (band)|Bathory, Immortal (band)|Immortal, and many other black metal bands, typically Scandinavian ones.

Though often mistaken for Gothic fashion, it must be pointed out that while the two may have a few similarities, each is its own distinct style. Where gothic fashion tends to be a bit more feminine, for both genders, black metal fashion similiarly embraces the more masculine look, often heavlily inspired by the viking era.
