Though I lived in Bergen, capital black metal city, in BM’s formative years in the early nineties, my all-time favourite BM album is a more modern one. Mayhem - Ordo ad Chao.
It is a piece of goddamn contemporary art. Taking ‘‘necro’’ to another level, the musical structures themselves are in a state of decay. Beyond the classic BM bands, Deathspell Omega is an absolute favourite,
Don’t really have ‘‘favourite’’ musicians, but Hellhammer here comes close as a drummer, if I had to choose one. Along with Meshuggah’s Thomas Haake.
