...actually, seems to be a type of carbon steel:
[i]The hardest known metal alloy, and the hardest known metal in general, is a type of carbon steel, Alloy 1090. With a tensile strength of .84 GPa (122,000 psi) and a yield strength of .64 GPa (67,000 psi), carbon steel is surpassed in hardness only by very hard nonmetals, such as ruby, diamond, or aggregated diamond nanorods.

I personally wouldn't class this as Black Metal. There's too much bass. Black Metal shits me purely due to the lack of bass in it - oh, I recognise that there's a bass guitar in it, but everything's so damned high pitched. Plus, I see Nice Pete as just growling the lyrics out - more Death or grindcore style.
Good band to look up, The County Medical Examiners. Think Carcass, all talking about medical stuff about death, but by actual doctors. Songs like "Algor Mortis: The Linear Rate of Cadaveric Cooling", and "Y-Shaped Thoracoabdominal Incision" and "Expeditious Evisceratory Mishap." Their current CD has a scratch-n-sniff CD face, kindly donated to them by John Doe #4502.

Reminds me of Iron Lung, a grind/powerviolence band who, though not actual doctors, do pull all their lyrics from medical journals and texts, usually about polio and the manners in which people tried to cure it. Example lyric:
Strict protocol must be upheld. Needle punctures heavy plastic surgical glove. Punctures flesh, enters bloodstream. No time to sterilize.

What you are all missing is the wonderful fact that in Pete's mind, this does not fall into any genre. With most bands who make this same claim, you can bet that they sound like Matchbox 20 or some crap like that. But Pete just naturally produces metal without even knowing what it is.
