NSTS Episode 205 - Life Imitates Art: Norwegian Black Metal

No Sleep 'til Sudbury with Brent Jensen

In this episode of No Sleep 'til Sudbury, we examine the dark origins and horrifying transgressions associated with the genre - Satanism, murder and corpse mutilation, church burnings, and the disturbing extremism of Norwegian Black Metal's purveyors.
