Never has the phrase 'Terror Alert' seemed more apt. He's many things to many people, he's been called a murderer, a visionary, an ex-con, a creative genius and a racist, he flirted with the tabloid music press as eagerly as he flirted with controversy, but nobody was able to do more than scratch the surface of one of black metal's most notorious operators... until now.
Given unlimited access and allowed to take our own photos, Terrorizer goes deep inside the dark and troubled world of Varg Vikernes as he returns not just to the free world after a lengthy incarceration, but to the transcendental black metal art he helped form, and you can join us on this journey in Terrorizer #194 - out Thursday in the UK and hitting the doormat of subscribers in the next few days.
No other magazine is as unfliching in its pledge to investigate, explore and challenge extreme metal, from the its terrifying icons of enmity to its rising stars. Elsewhere in the magazine we explore the early days of At The Gates as they morphed from the shortlived Grotesque to produce their debut EP, setting the band on a course that would end in the spectacular 'Slaughter Of The Soul', deconstruct the latest technical death metal masterwork of USDM kings Immolation, confront High On Fire's grizzled gunslinger Matt Pike with his place in a world hostile to creativity and take a sneak look at the stunning new album and explore the disintegration of Romanian black metal mystics Negura Bunget.
The concluding part of the Metalcore Special looks at the genre's most broadly celebrated form, the progressive post-metal embrace of Cave In, Coalesce, Botch and Converge, and its most underground with the fiercely clannish H8000 scene that set Belgium aflame and brought politics and pugelism to Europe, while the Choice Cuts and reviews sections heave with bands and artists you might otherwise never hear about.
PLEASE NOTE THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE COVERMOUNT CD.
