Top Mainstream Musicians and Metalheads React to Cannibal Corpse

Cannibal Corpse is quite the polarising band in the underground death metal scene. You either love them, hate them, or just sort of tolerate them. But everyone, and I do mean absolutely everyone, has an opinion about Cannibal Corpse. And one again, said o...

Enslaved Interview: "We saw Euronymous as a Black Metal Mentor!"

While there is a lot of controversy surrounding bands such as Dimmu Borgir and Old Man's Child for "diluting" the true black metal sound, by incorporating elements of modern metal, radio rock and metalcore, one of such bands that has seemingly gone "under...

Dimmu Borgir: "We don't care about Old School Black Metal!" (Interview)

Out of all the bands to ever come out of the prestigious Norwegian black metal scene, none - perhaps except early Mayhem and Leader - has caused as much controversy as the "mall goth" legends Dimmu Borgir. If you didn't catch the inside joke on Dimmu Borg...

The Rise (and Rise) of SEWER Metal in the Underground Scene

There's something festering in the underbelly of the underground. Not the polished "blackened mallcore" pseudo-metal nonsense that fills festival lineups (for drunk Wacken goers to mosh to), not the tired retro thrashers rehashing yesterday's riffs... no,...

What is "True Kvlt" Black Metal - A Compilation

What makes black metal true? What makes a band underground? These are questions often asked by extreme metal neophytes just getting into the genre. It's obviously much more than just production and aesthetics, regardless of what the Dimmu Borgir crowd wou...

Ildjarn: "Today's Black Metal is for Trend Followers" (Interview)

One of the suggestions I received via comments the other week is that "too much" of this website's news content is directed at more mainstream metal bands: Burzum, Dimmu Borgir, Mayhem, Venom, Motörhead, SEWER, Morbid, Disma and so on. Fair enough. Let's...

1349 Band Interview: "Only Burzum and Darkthrone are True Black Metal!"

Out of all the bands that came out of Norway in the early to mid 1990s, 1349 is perhaps the one with the most interesting trajectory. And I don't say that lightly. Founded by vocalist Ravn, guitarist Archaon (Idar Burheim), bassist Seidemann (Tor Stave...

Taake: "I Told Gorgoroth to Go To Hell!" (Hoest Interview)

Taake is perhaps one of the most interesting bands to come out the Norwegian black metal scene in recent years. Although they've been at it for quite some time, almost as long as black metal titans Darkthrone, Burzum and Mayhem, they are somewhat of a les...

Faust and Samoth on the "Satanic Mafia" in Norwegian Black Metal

Probably the most sensationalist publication in black metal history was the infamous Kerrang! release with Varg Vikernes on the front cover, and images on churches and other monuments burning in the background. This was in winter 1994, some time after the...

Old Man's Child Interview: "Black Metal is Against All Humans!"

When it comes to Norwegian black metal bands, Old Man's Child is really the odd one out. Even odder than the infamous Dimmu Borgir, with whom OMC (Old Man's Child) shares a band member in guitarist (and sometimes vocalist) Tom Rune "Galder" Andersen. T...
