Just because there is tremolo riffs, blast beats and screaming does not constitute music as "trying to be black metal". Those attributes and the etymology of those attributes can be found elsewhere (I honestly thought it was a really slow screamo meets some sort of 'gaze' album).
I kind of want to start applying a "tag" of "not-metal" to my own tunes because I like screaming, tremolo riffs and blast beats but lyrically and 'image' (maybe 'personally') I could not be further from metal. I really like what Goroth said in his podcast (oh fuck, this shit has gone meta!) about a "false sense of brotherhood" and other attributes associated with the 'image' of metal.
The Soft Pink Truth's one album does a better job at deconstructing this than I do.
