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:
“We often feel sad in the presence of music without words; and often more than that in the presence of music without music.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“The time was once, when thou unurged wouldst vow
That never words were music to thine ear,
That never object pleasing in thine eye,
That never touch well welcome to thy hand,
That never meat sweet-savored in thy taste,
Unless I spake, or looked, or touched, or carved to thee.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
