BLACK METAL
Satanism, goats, sacrifices… Black metal is a genre of essential Hell songs. Tracing the origins of the genre and celebrating the forefathers; Cradle of Filth’s Dani Filth recounts tales of the second generation, and we finish off looking at the pure ritualistic side of this ultimately evil genre.
