Depressive Suicidal Black Metal

What are peoples opinions on this stylistic offshoot? For those unfamiliar, it shares the Lo-Fi production values of Black Metal, but typically exhibits a more ambient, mid-tempo sound, with treble-heavy guitars and a focus on themes of an inward nature, such as depression and anxiety, as opposed to the more profane, anti-Christianity of Black Metal.

Whilst thinking the term 'Depressive Suicidal Black Metal' is ridiculous, I do actually enjoy the sound a lot. Bands such as Sortsind, Lyrinx, Austere and Nyktalgia have released some stonking albums.

Over to you.
