Norwegian Black (and Viking) Metal was an incredible eye-opener. A gateway into a new world of sound. This music should be heralded as the birth of whole new musical languages and techniques. The guitarwerk of Euronymous, for instance, is highly underrated as an innovation in guitar-playing and indeed an innovation in tonality within the Metal genre. Black Metal is truly, at its best, a genre that transcends definition within the commercial realms of genre/style/market and other sickening bullshit. It is also a massive influence on elements of the Scrapes sound...mostly from Adam's end. Black Metal blew Adam's mind many years ago and it should blow yours too....
