Our month long celebration of all things grim and necro is back. All this month, we will be spotlighting black metal here on Metal Injection with articles on essential black metal listening, black metal related lists and some killer videos. To kick off our annual celebration we decided to enlist the help of designer Mike Wholberg who created an official Black Metal History Month logo and t-shirt! You can now pre-order the design through IndieMerch.
While we put the finishing touches on some of the content, let's take a look back at what we learned last year:
The FiX, our music video show, went ALL BLACK METAL with videos from Taake, Inhein, Keep of Kalessin, Dissection and Immortal. Watch it here.
We posted two other videos: the King of Metal reviewed modern black metal bands and everybody got pissed, and we got our friend Karlynn to give us a black metal corpse paint tutorial.
We reviewed essential black metal albums including MERCYFUL FATE's Melissa, DISSECTION's The Somberlain, MASTER'S HAMMER's Ritual, MARDUK's Panzer Division Marduk, EMPEROR's In the Nightside Eclipse & Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk and HAVOHEJ.
Things got a little silly too when we asked you to show us your corpse paint, we ate some Immortal cake after pulling over Abbath and cuddling with black metal kitties.
Stay tuned for some more great content all month long.
