Cult Never Dies marks its 10th anniversary with the release of Dayal Patterson’s Black Metal: Evolution of the Cult – The Restored, Expanded & Definitive Edition.
Additional black metal sightseeing tours have been added, and the National Library of Norway announces an exhibition of Norwegian black metal opening in April.
From melodic heavy metal pioneers like Helloween (and later Gamma Ray and Iron Savior) to thrash greats like Kreator, and black metal forefathers Celtic Frost.
Despising over half these “tributes” inspired me to pull out the originals, and reminded me many bands aren’t good at being themselves, much less Celtic Frost.
