ive been listenin to burzum's anthology a shitload over the past three months. some of his stuff could have been just as safe being released by warp than a black metal lablel, some of his stuff even borders on gorgeous. it took me a long time to look past the gimmicky-ness of black metal, as well as homophobia, racism, and misogny of it, but then my brother, who listens to tons of black metal, got me into mercyful fate, mayhem, emperor, all the classic shit, and i was hooked. black metal is just as symphonic and beautiful as it is brutal. i love it.
side note: darkthrone's trasylvanian hunger is my favorite black metal record of all time, as well as being in my top 5 all time metal records.
