I signed up when I saw how poorly the usbm scene was represented in this this thread. Obviously the Norse scene is far more prominent, with a scope of influence reaching all corners of the globe. However, there are some gems from the US scene that are not to be missed. Particularly, look into Grand Belial's Key, Demoncy, Judas Iscariot, Fog, Abazagorath, to name but a few. **** all that limp-wristed "suicidal" bull**** mixed with poorly thought out psuedo-ambient that we've some how come to be known for.
As an aside, be sure to look into the Czech scene (Root, Master's Hammer) and the Greek scene (Necromantia, Rotting Christ, Varathron) to hear some highly original takes on BM.
