BLACK METAL especially DSBM is probably the most beautiful genre I've listened to

It's not a RANT just an EXPERIENCE I wanna share.

Today was a very rough day for me due to immense college work pressure and this hot weather also. After returning back to home I was feeling very angry , my blood was boiling and couldn't think of anything to do, then I thought to take a nap for 2 hours, put my headphones and started my Black Metal playlist. The song was "IN MY LAST MOURNING" by thr band "THY LIGHT" and believe me I've never felt this much calm, relaxed and composed listening to any kind of songs & I fell asleep in just 5-10 minutes and the whole BM playlist kept playing in my headphones for 2 hours straight when I woke up then I i stopped it... and now I'm feeling very fresh and relaxed after many many days...it truly helped decreasing my anxiety and headache.

I love black metal especially DSBM, I listen to it very often but never felt like this , it's truly a beautiful piece of art... you people should feel proud who listen to this genre 🖤

Instances of BM in video game soundtracks?

Specifically I'm referring to when BM artists have their tracks appear in a video game

I already know of Bathory being in GTA 4 and Immortal being in a Tony Hawk Pro Skater game. Are there any others?
