Guitar strings for black metal?
I'm looking for new, good guitar strings, primarily for black metal. Originally, I planned to switch from the standard 10-46 gauge to 13-56, but I felt it was too risky because I'm too inexperienced with that sort of thing.
The strings should also be 10-46 gauge and be playable, comfortable, easy to bend, etc.
The low E string should also be tunable at least 1 step down for dropped tunings without the intonation being completely lost and everything just being a common vibration
Should also have relatively good sustain and a clear, beautiful sound
Price wise I would say a pack of 3 should not be more than 30€ including shipping

This ultimately depends on what tuning you want to play, what scale your guitar has and what feels right for you.
There are 3 sets in the usual strengths anyway. Maybe 10-52 would be something for you. Ideal for Drop D and also in standard solid.
But you will never be deeper in the same string strength and a whole tone. If you want this, you might be better served with a 7-string on Drop A.
The most common brands would be Ernie Ball and D'Addario. Both can be taken relatively unconsidered.
I'm not really there!
If I had such questions, I asked them to the guitar department staff at Music Store or at Thomann, ….
Good luck!
