It's the reason that Black metal originated in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark in the first place. Bands like Bathory and Mayhem started this genre of music in the late 80s and early 90s, and it's exploded in the past 30+ years.(July 10, 2023 at 5:33 pm)MR.

Silenoz, the founding member and lyricist of Dimmu Borgir, is an avowed Atheist/Satanist with a hatred for christianity. Their last couple of records have been a little over the top with the symphonics, but they're working on a new record right now.
I'm curious which direction they'll go next?

I've been listening to black metal for the last 20 or so years, and I fucking love it.
