Music: Black Metal

I like Black Metal.

"Black metal is an extreme sub genre of heavy metal music. It often uses fast tempos, shrieked vocals, highly distorted guitars played with tremolo picking, blast beat drumming, raw recording, and unconventional song structure." -taken from Wikipedia here

It's hard, ferocious, unrelenting and brutal.  I don't like the "dog growl" vocalist in most Black Metal bands though, except for Arch Enemy - Nemesis and possible Ancient.

My first real brush with this sub genre would be Venom and Slayer.  It is strange how the music has evolved since those early days.  There are a lot of crazy great bands out there.  So much music so little time...
