Black metal is a subgenre of extreme metal, usually featuring a shrieked vocals, emphasis on atmosphere, lo-fi recording,heavy distortion, and tremolo picking.
The first wave includes bands such as Bathory, Venom, and Celtic Frost and started in the '80s.
The notorious second wave includes bands such Mayhem, Burzum and Emperor and emerged in '90s Bergen, Norway.
The so-called "third-wave" is said to have originated in the US, with bands like Agalloch, Deafheaven and Wolves in the Throne Room spearheading the movement.

It seems to me like there's more than one area deemed to be the 'third-wave'. Maybe, I caught so many bands coming out of the USBM scene over the years that I just don't see how Deafheaven could be considered a major part of it. There's no real set of style for it and it makes me wonder how much a band like Weakling (which has always sounded like a major inspiration for the three bands listed above) is being left out of the conversation. But onto the first issue of different areas, I wonder could the rise of Orthodox Black Metal be considered a 'third wave' in it's own right. Then what about SDBM, for that matter? Those two seem to be more deserving of the title, owing to a concrete set of style, ideologies, sound, etc.

I don't know that I'd think of DSBM or Orthodox BM as a movement as much of a distinct subgenre. Depends on how you think of it in relation to the first two movements, I guess: theme, sound, country, time period?

Just a bunch of people waning to create something out of nothing. Somewhat along the same lines of Pagan Metal years ago.
