Mattowarrior's Metal Madness

In the next week or so (depending) you can expect a fully articulated video (probably using some new software I'm a bit shaky at) that is a defense video of one of the most contentious bands of the past 50 years, Kiss. In it I will argue for their importance in influencing (countless) Hard Rock and Heavy Metal bands over time, as well as dispelling the notion that they are a "gimmick band". Look for it on here SOON!

I know some will think my picks stretch the term "black metal" as far as being more in the Viking or "Progressive" Black metal vein but I don't care. I even threw in a few "Runners up" for good measure. It was hard to do this list because even at this point in my life I'm (re)discovering bands I may had missed back when I first got into this style of metal.

Many bands jumped onto the bandwagon of being Grunge or Alternative influenced in the early Nineties. Here's my take of some famous (and infamous) examples of Metal bands following this trend, on my analysis of some of the albums released during this period.

Doing a video review of my top five "second wave" Norwegian Black Metal albums of All Time! Watch for it on here!

Yeah I know it's late. Not a bad album by any means, and maybe just because I think Metallica "learned their lesson" regarding production, etc- that I am giving them a decent review ;)
