Murder, Satanism and Church Burnings; the True Story Behind the Origin of Norwegian Black Metal

Where the Genre is Now

Euronymous had an uncanny ear for the unique and bizarre, signing Swedish bands Merciless and Abruptum, who are innovators of death metal. Euronymous also signed a band called Sigh, the first and quite possibly the only famous black metal band from Japan.
