In Music
As its more common subject matter includes fantasy and dark, demonic or diabolical themes, some black metal bands have taken their names and occasionally song and album titles from Black Speech or invented their own Pseudo-Black Speech:
- Burzum, is Black Speech for 'darkness', as seen on the One Ring.
- Summoning, particularly the song "Mirdautas Vras" from Oath Bound, the first song not part of the Lord of the Rings soundtrack written entirely in their pseudo-Black Speech.
- Za Frûmi have numerous concept albums centred around the exploits of a tribe of Uruk-hai. All lyrics are in a Pseudo-Black Speech created by the band and the translations are included in each album.
- Nazgul, an Italian black metal duo influenced by medieval folk music, are named after the Nazgûl.
- Lauri Penttilä, now a member of black metal band Satanic Warmaster, used "Nazgul" as his alias while he was a member of Horna.

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“Taylor, the Shakespeare of divines.
His words are music in my ear,”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“As for the terms good and bad, they indicate no positive quality in things regarded in themselves, but are merely modes of thinking, or notions which we form from the comparison of things with one another. Thus one and the same thing can be at the same time good, bad, and indifferent. For instance music is good for him that is melancholy, bad for him who mourns; for him who is deaf, it is neither good nor bad.”
—Baruch (Benedict)
