/r/dsbm 2024 August Mod Updates
84
Upvotes
Well this has certainly been a strange week for this community. Here are some updates to how the subreddit will be run and what is expected of users starting immediately.
Memes
Memes have always been allowed, but avoid posting low-effort stuff. The vast majority of "cutting p****" content should be posted in /r/cpbm. I'm leaving the original post and a few higher-effort posts up as they are pretty much historic here now, but most others have been removed.
Most other memes are better suited for /r/blackmetalmemes or /r/metalmemes, but if it is clever and relevant specifically to DSBM, it is still welcome here.
Rule 1 Expansion
Images with self-harm scars, even when they aren't the focus, will now be removed. If it is artwork tied to an actual release, the post must be marked NSFW.
There are many users here who struggle with their mental health, and seeing images like these without warning can be harmful. This isn't the place for that content.
The rest of Rule 1 is as valid as ever. We take posts and comments about SH seriously. Never glorify, encourage, or seek out SH here. Normal discussion about it isn't necessarily banned, but we are a music subreddit, not a support subreddit. If you need help and don't know where to go, reach out to the mods and we will try our best to connect you with someone who is more qualified to help you.
Post Flair
To help with low-effort posts and to more easily parse the type of content you want to see, every new post is required to have flair. So far, there are 7 categories, but feel free to recommend changes or new ones:
- Music: Links to listen to songs, albums, etc.
- Discussion: Topics like news about bands, musical techniques, open-ended questions to the community, etc. Things that, you know, generate discussion and dialogue.
- Recommendations: Do you want more music like a certain song/album/band, or do you have a suggestion for others? Use this.
- Self-Promotion & Fanart: When promoting your own music, use this tag. Also use this when asking for feedback for a work-in-progress or for any kind of fanart.
- Collection & Merch: Post your hauls, collections, shirts, patches, etc. with this flair.
- Humor: Some of us love DSBM memes and jokes, and some of us hate them, so having its own category will help people seek or ignore them.
- Other: For anything that doesn't fit in other categories.
I understand there may be miscommunication between dialects and languages regarding flairs, so please don't be surprised or offended if your flair is changed by mods. If you disagree, feel free to comment here or message the mods about it.
AI-generated Music
New rule: Absolutely no AI music. Not even for the sake of humor.
With generative AI services now able to produce full songs with a prompt, many people have been trying to sneak their fake music onto streaming platforms, music subreddits, YouTube, and other communities.
Time spent streaming AI-generated music as if it were real music is time that could have been spent listening to real artists, and in niche metal sub-subgenres such as DSBM, most artists are already not making much revenue on their art. There is also the ethical issue of these types of AI being trained on already existing works without the artists' permission, so I feel like allowing AI music would be disrespectful to the classic DSBM bands.
Reminder:
I want to also use this post as a reminder that if you tell a user "kys" or anything similar, you will be greeted with an instant ban, even if it was a joke. Pretty much the only time you should use that phrase here is when referring to the band "Make a Change...".
And please continue to use the report function if you see a rule violation. The mods don't sit staring at the new tab all day, so this is the fastest way to clean up the subreddit.
EDIT 8/30: Separated Discussion and Recommendation flairs.

This has been my music project for about 8 years now and I finally got to a point where I'm happy with what it sounds like and willing to actively share it with the world (not just let it sit on streaming services collecting dust) if you're into the Deathcore of days old, but love the new big production of metal today, you'll love this heavy track about betrayal and vulnerability being shown to the wrong person. Thank you for your time!! \*\^\^

German black metal act Mrak, with their third and final release, Глубина (Tiefe), from 2006.
The atmosphere they create throughout all their releases is perfectly dark and hopeless.
I love the cold, autumnal feeling I always get when listening to their songs.

Discussion I think I accidentally found a Decalius connection in this "North Korean" DSBM project
10
Upvotes
I've been going down a rabbit hole of obscure Korean / supposedly North Korean black metal and came across a project called Amnok (압록)
The project is presented as being from North Korea, which immediately made me curious because there doesn't seem to be much reliable information about actual underground metal coming from the DPRK
Then I found their 2026 release “샷건” (Shotgun)
On Qobuz, the track is credited to Amnok, with Braulio Avelar Rodriguez listed as the composer. That name immediately caught my attention because Braulio Avelar Rodriguez is the guy behind Decalius
And Decalius also has a song called “Shotgun”
I couldn't find anything on the Qobuz page explicitly saying that the Amnok track is a Decalius cover, so I'm not claiming that's confirmed. But the Braulio Avelar Rodriguez credit is a pretty strange coincidence
The whole Amnok thing gets even weirder because 압록 (Amnok) is the Korean name for the Yalu River, which runs along the China–North Korea border
There is also another project called Kuryong (구룡) connected to the same “North Korean black metal” scene / aesthetic
So I'm basically wondering who is actually behind these projects
Could be completely unrelated and just a weird coincidence
Could also be some kind of alias / collaboration connected to Braulio
Has anyone here looked into Amnok or Kuryong before?
Qobuz:
https://www.qobuz.com/gb-en/album/-/jk180t9tg9tuf
I'm mostly interested in whether anyone has found actual information about the people behind this stuff, because the “North Korean black metal” story feels increasingly strange the deeper I dig
