As a person who listens to a lot of angry music I wouldn't call black metal angry. More edgy. "Hammed Smashed Face" is anger. "Black Crow On

A Tombstone" is hamfisted edge. Its just trying so fucking hard to be edgy. You don't need to be a tryhard to be angry.

And the training apparently was intense, and they'd only have few years of active career before puberty.
