Would Deafheaven be considered Black metal? Or are they not Kvlt enough?

Who cares? Not a fan here, but if you enjoy, fuck it. Play that shit.Would Deafheaven be considered Black metal? Or are they not Kvlt enough?
I'll probably be called out as a filthy casual but I always ripped Dimmu Borgir back in the day. I guess I've mellowed out in my older years. Don't really thrash any more. Evergreen Terrace is pretty much my thrashhold (see what I did there) at this point.
It's funny how in black metal discussions Emperor is never even mentioned because they're so superior to everyone else that they're basically not even considered part of the genre anymore.
Anyhoo, here's my take on french black metal:
As u can see its only European Black Metal but I have a hard time finding any real dark and heavy American Black Metal ( I know the scene is big in the states ) but imo they lack this eeriness and real weight in its atmosphere and feeling. German black metal is probably my favorite. Norwegian is nice is well but a bit uninteresting and outplayed.
Slavic countries have som nice Black Metal as well. Sweden has an ok scene aswell.

Antaeus, Aosoth, Arkhon Infaustus (pre-reunion or whatever it is) Deathspell Omega, Hirilorn. Never been a fan of the LLN scene but they definitely made their mark.
Leviathan is king amongst heavy atmostphere. Weakling, Absu, Demoncy, Nightbringer, etc. And finally a band that is superior to a very large percentage of European bm bands, Grand Belial's Key.
I think they're shit. Safe "black metal" for the Vice/Pitchfork crowd to feel tough and not listen to "dorks in clown make-up yelling about Satan" But as noted above, listen to whatever the hell you want. Who cares.
No one gives a shit about kvlt anymore and I think people talk more about people debating whether something is kvlt or not than any actual debating going on.

Enslaved has some good stuff as well but its a bit far between the good stuff. They've done an really nice cover on
Immigrant Song, worth checking out
I just make fun of kvlt chumps because it’s honestly sad how elitist some black metal fans are. I mostly making fun of how certain mayhem members were all perplexed about bands like Morbid Angel wearing shorts in the subtropical areas like Florida.No one gives a shit about kvlt anymore and I think people talk more about people debating whether something is kvlt or not than any actual debating going on.
No love for DSBM?
