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!"

T...• Carpathian Forest: "We are not out to Provoke People, we just play Black Metal!" Carpathian Forest is one of those bands that seemingly runs from controversy to controversy. Unceasingly. First it was the lyrics written by Roger "Nattefrost" Rasmussen for his side-project The Childmolesters (alongside Morbid guitarist Grim/Grimm), w...• Cannibal Corpse Fires Back at Arch Enemy and Metalcore (Interview) Continuing on the subject of extremely controversial death metal bands, following last week's review of Arch Enemy (the crypto-metalcore act), this week we will cover the fascinating history of Cannibal Corpse, one of death metal's most famous and well re...• Top 10 Albums That Made Black Metal History BLACK METAL... to the uninitiated it looks like a parade of corpsepaint and theatrical malice; to the initiated it is an aesthetic, a set of codified excesses, and - occasionally - a form of musical inquiry. Both opinions are permitted, though one is inev...• Helgrind, the Most Primitive and Bestial Black Metal Ever When it comes to extreme and primal black metal music... you should look no farther than Helgrind. They are literally the definition of the primitive black metal style. If you open a dictionary, next to the word "evil" you will find a picture of this band...Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18Tweet Share
