There's actually a lot of variety to the genre. Most of what has been posted could be considered raw black metal, which primarily goes back to the influence of bands like Darkthrone, Mayhem, and early Burzum. Essentially the music was designed to be an anti-genre of music to combat not only the mainstream pop at the time, but the bombastic sound that was taking over the European metal scene at the time. Recent years have seen the emergence of ambient black metal, symphonic black metal, post-black metal, and progressive black metal. Black metal has even started to be incorporated by genres outside of metal including shoegaze and indie folk.

Though I would agree with you with most of the older satanic and black metal genre it is indeed an evolving sound.
I wish it would evolve faster.
Try the videos I posted above. Some great tones.
