Neseblod Records, originally 'Helvete' in Oslo, Norway, was damaged by fire. The blaze apparently started in the record store’s basement. The late Euronymous (Mayhem) used to own it back in the day. The current owner turned it into a black metal archive, a museum of sorts, and keeping the historical black metal graffiti on the wall that became a famous backdrop for many band and fan photos. A go fund me page has been created to help the owner try and restore what he can.

Some of the biggest names in Black Metal are the result of one man's vision.

With the technological advances in music recording and production that have taken place over the last decade, it is now ...

Almost six years ago I published a poll to see which country's Black Metal scene you liked the most.

To be fair, the poll outstayed its welcome, and its premise was flawed to begin with. What was the point of asking users to choose a single country? Why would it matter? And why include some countries but not others? The truth is that not a lot of thought went into it, but at the time it seemed like a good follow-up to the previous poll (favourite genre).

I took the poll down some months ago, but for those wondering what the outcome was, here are the predictable and purposeless ...
