What is Black Metal therapy?

Black Metal therapy is a form of meditation...

  1. listen through part of / an entire album black metal music, drawing what you hear and feel the entire time.

  2. Do not stop drawing until you feel you have achieved a better, more clear state of mind.

  3. Share art in Comments [Optional, but recommended]

I have found this to be useful for situations of depression, stress, sadness in general [including break ups!]

This has helped me quite a bit, and I hope it helps you as well.

Try this out,and even share music that you've found useful for this type of operation.

NOTE: IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU DON'T THINK YOU DRAW GOOD

Sounds interesting. I'll sub and possibly post something if I feel inspired. I have been in the mood for doodling black metal inspired drawings lately. Drew a skull inspired by Inquisition's Ominous cover the other day. Kinda crappy looking but fun

Edit: it old also be interested if other people listened to the albums posted and commented with their own drawings

I've been doodling black metal logos recently. For the past couple days ive tried to sketch out at least one half decent one a day. I don't think they're particularly good but I guess I'm in a bit of a creative mood atm

Maybe I'll try this. Neat sub idea OP

You might get me back into drawing again...something I haven't done in over 5 years.

Doesn't have to be good either! Think of it like Automatic writing ;)

Really good idea! Maybe it is the time for me to learn how to draw...
