Burzumic Riffage

It is a good idea to keep abreast of new release reviews in the Black Metal scene in order to maintain a respectable fluency in the lingo [1]. This is direly important for reasons you need not yet understand. It is also a prerequisite to the proper consumption of the next book in your queue, titled Hideous Gnosis: Black Metal Theory Symposium 1, a collection of essays on black metal theory presented at the Brooklyn symposium in December of 2009. You will be delighted to tuck into Erik Butler’s “The Counter-Reformation in Stone and Metal: Spiritual Substances” and Steven Shakespeare’s “The Light that Illuminates Itself, the Dark that Soils Itself: Blackened Notes from Schelling’s Underground.” Until then.
