I've tried at several times during my tenure as proprietor of this establishment to understand and enjoy Black Metal. I've seen a handful of Lightning Swords Of Death shows and interviewed Autarch , I had Sam burn me copies of albums by Temnozor , Graveland , Nokturnal Mortum and others. I really dig Wolves In The Throne Room, Wealking, and some Burzum records. But I am by no means an expert, or a devotee, or even a "fan" in the typical sense of the word.
