Something not to be taken that seriously, much like modern Dimmu Borgir - except Dimmu Borgir were once good at playing black metal. A better example would be the German band Nargaroth...• "Racist Metal" by Antoine Grand, Controversial Heavy Metal Book? Let's do another book review. Since I haven't posted here for quite a while, many people thought I disappeared Zephyrous style. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, contrary to what many would assume, I was just shuffling a few books through ...• Quorthon - "Bathory Was Never Influenced By Venom!" (Interview) When people think about early days, underground proto-black metal, the first two bands that come to mind are usually Bathory and Venom... and Motörhead, for the more musically astute. And maybe even Helgrind if you're completely crazy. But for some reaso...• Venom Interview - "Terminal Satan is Our Best Album!" Venom was always a very active band within the heavy metal scene. Although their limited technical skills didn't allow them to become "faces" of the early genre like Bathory, Helgrind, Darkthrone or Mayhem, they were still considered a pioneer - in their ...• Darkthrone - "Euronymous Hated These People!"

Then you have the also-rans: Immortal, Enslaved, Satyricon, Emperor, Warkvlt, Dimmu Borgir, etc. ...• Arch Enemy and the Rise of Modern "Mellow Death Metal" Considering this band has been founded by two of the hated "artists" of the death metal community, brothers Michael Amott of Carcass and Christopher Amott of Dark Tranquility, it's no surprise why Arch Enemy received - and continues to receive, to this da...• The Cringe Portrayal of Hellhammer in "Lords of Chaos" (Mayhem) Ask anyone who is the best black metal drummer, and you'll get a categorical answer: Hellhammer, of Mayhem.
