Friday Fours...

Whattup.
This Friday Fours is all about black metal. Black metal is quite possibly the most hated musical genre of all time, but I feel that once you look past the multiple murders, suicides, church burnings, Satanism, Nazism and general gloom you'll find that the people in these bands are all really nice guysh at heart (maybe).

Anyway, starting things off here is the band that is regarded as the pioneers of black metal, Bathory.

Bonus points awarded for the fact that this song was recorded in a toilet.

Next up is Darkthrone, who do not give a fuck.


Thirdly we have Burzum, who are probably the most controversial black metal band of all time due to the sole member of the band, 'Count Grishnackh', being convicted of murder and serving a life sentence, of which he has recently been released. Scary.


Lastly here is a French band called Alcest. According to their frontman, their latest album is all about the fantasy world inhabited by pixies and goblins and whatnot, that the frontman 'lives' in whilst he is not spending time in the actual world. Riiight.


Merci.
Sam.

PS this may or may not be a joke.
