February. Over so soon? We were just starting to have some fun with our first annual Black Metal History Month and just like that it's over. Here is a look back at our last month of featured articles:
We discussed a few essential black metal albums, that every troo fan needs in their collection including WEAKLING's Dead as Dreams, BURZUM's Hvis Lyset Tar Oss, DARKTHRONE's A Blaze in the Northern Sky, IMMORTAL's Pure Holocaust, and we give tip of our cap to the founders of black metal,
VENOM.
We also got some black metal themed lists together, the most controversial of which was the Top 10 Worst Crimes Committed by Black Metal Musicians, featuring a brutal recollection of how some black metal musicians take things a bit too far. We also clue you in on the Top 10 New Black Metal Bands You Should Know, and lighten up the mood a bit with the Top 10 Silliest Black Metal Videos.
In the reviews department, we spotlighted Lords of Chaos, the definitely book on the rise of black metal and we attended an Immortal show.
Elsewhere on the site, we dedicated an entire episode of The FiX to our favorite black metal videos and Frank posted a new edition of his audio podcast, Heavy Metal Happy Hour, featuring a killer black metal playlist.
We hope you enjoyed Black Metal History Month. We'll be doing it all again next year.
