I want your perspective. In the last 6 months since I've joined this place my appreciation of extreme metal has gone up a ton because of you and some of the others here.
I'm ****ing lazy and that's a lot to talk about. Here's a Wikipedia article, just for you.

Early Norwegian black metal scene - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Also, a bit of an answer to a question you asked days ago.

Quote:
The Norwegian bands developed the style of their 1980s forebears as a distinct genre of heavy metal music. This was partly thanks to a new style of guitar playing developed by Snorre 'Blackthorn' Ruch of Stigma Diabolicum/Thorns and Øystein 'Euronymous' Aarseth of Mayhem, in which guitarists played full chords using all the strings of the guitar in place of power chords using only two or three strings. Gylve 'Fenriz' Nagell of Darkthrone has credited them with this innovation in a number of interviews. He described it as being "derived from Bathory" and noted that "those kinds of riffs became the new order for a lot of bands in the '90s".
