King ov Hell: "Black Metal is NOT for Sheep" (Interview)

Hellhammer: "Euronymous was Cracked in the Head!" (Mayhem Interview)

As you may have noticed, this past week I have been quite busy re-reading Heavy Metal Master Class, the best-selling book on heavy metal history. What interested me the most was the chapter on early Norwegian black metal, which I only had a faint memory o...
