* AvantgardeMetal: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]], as while their style is often compared to [[Music/DeathspellOmega Deathspell Omega]], who are widely considered the [[Trope Makers]] of avantgarde black metal, their music is generally more accessible and direct, if still a bit experimental when compared to classic black metal.

Svartidauði (Icelandic for ''[[TheBlackDeath Black Death]]'') is a [[Music/BlackMetal Black Metal]] band with members from Reykjavik and Kópavogur, Iceland. Formed in 2002, they have since grown into one of the most well-known and respected Black Metal bands from their distant subarctic home island, with many of their compatriots, including Misþyrming and Sinmara, naming them as an important influence. As is common in the Icelandic scene, there is quite a bit of overlap between those bands regarding members as well. In fact, they are sometimes credited by fans and critics with having started the Icelandic Black Metal movement with its distinct sound. Their style has been described as abrasive and chaotic, and occasionally compared to [[Music/DeathspellOmega Deathspell Omega]] due to the heavy use of dissonant chords, though it is less [[AvantgardeMetal Avantgarde]]-influenced and rather straight-forward, and does feature more melodic and atmospheric passages from time to time.

* InTheHood: They tend to cover their faces with hoods in band photos and earlier live shows, though nowadays, they only cover the lower halves of their faces with bandanas.
