Black Metal is usually notorious for sounding dark and unhappy. I was wondering of there were any moments in Black Metal that seemed happy or upbeat than your usual black metal. I have come across some bands that I think sound happier then your normal bands. I think that a lot of Sargeist sounds very upbeat. Also even Taake sounds a lot more upbeat. Does anyone know anymore bands that seem to have a happier or more festive sound than your standard satanic ones 0 0 0

Alcest
Deafheaven
Winterhorde (musically has a happy feel, lyrically it can be very depressing)
Groza
Damned Spirits' Dance

Most of the post-black metal stuff is more upbeat and/or happier.

How about Belphegor and Equilibrium?

My Journey to the Stars by Burzum -- that's a pretty uplifting song.
 
Also, a few early Dimmu Borgir songs like Under Korpens Vinger and For All Tid.
Oh, and Windir's stuff.

Some Summoning sounds happy to me.

i second Equilibrium. Other than that, i don't think i've heard of any other Black Metal bands i'd classify as "happy or upbeat"

I'd say that Moonsorrow has a lot of happy/upbeat moments on Kivenkantaja.

That was!
Also Equilibrium was awesome aswell
 
is there anything like Taake or Sargiest kind of happy? because there are moments in some of the songs that sound very upliftiing and some may even say "inspirational" also I find that alot of Folk/Viking/Celtic (and even Pagan) Metal sound very uplifing aswell. Stuff like Ensiferum and Wolfchant are some of my favourites. Anything like those?

i'd say Equilibrium of corse... it's much of a lift up band... Blut Im Auge -is fucking fantastic...
