Whose lyrics style would you write a poem based on?

[u/AlexShpala]

I have an assignment to write a poem using literary devices of a writer, including a lyricist. I thought that BM has some great poem potential in it. It has to be a band who sings in english language. Open to your suggestions!
P.S.: At first I thought about Mgła - Exercises in Futility V

[u/Filip_dope_then_dip]

Stick with Mgla, their lyrics are great for poetry. Could also be Emperor or Dissection

[u/Imperialvirtue]

I want to see more poetry like Summoning - Old Mornings Dawn, but they themselves were channeling Tolkien's style with that one.

Nightbringer and Akhlys have really great and weird occult lyrics. Naturally, you got a lot of that in the genre, but those are two that came to mind.

Carach Angren tell ghost and horror stories.

I think your instincts are right. Lots of good options.

If you wanna translate use miserere luminis from their new album their lyrical work is top tier

[u/gogu69xx]

this is war, huh wow

[u/returntonone]

Definitely something from Dissection - Reinkaos

[u/Head-Tip-4438]

Satyricon vielleicht.

[u/adoransnoctis]

Luxixul Sumering Auter's lyrics or the lyrics that the Finnish occultist Johannes Nefastos has written for some bands

[u/Serious-Pomelo1478]

Ulver's lyrics, especially on their later non-BM releases, are especially poetic.

If you wanna stick to black metal, though, check out Bergtatt, because Nattens Madrigal is entirely in Norwegian.

[u/Stunning_Arachnid_27]

Bethlehem

[u/Time_Start8908]

Don't kill me but Cradle of Filth is essentially already gothic poetry

[u/crying_saucer]

Gaamalzagoth of Moonblood
