Black Metal 1993

AGITATORS ANONYMOUS PODCAST EPISODE 156

Black Metal 1993 - 30 years on

Hard to believe that it's been 30 years since the class of 93 Black Metal, a year which saw so many incredible releases but strangely enough turned out to be maybe the last high point of BM in the 90s, just maybe.....Primordial contributed on some level that year with our demo 'Dark Romanticism' so I look back on the releases that made the year so memorable, being part of the cultural zeitgeist, tape trading, why Black Metal reacted to the path the rest of metal was taking and why my attitude towards it has not progressed one inch in over 30 years! and am happy to be a knuckle dragging neanderthal.....along with other random observations!
