Hey Dissers!

I've been away for a month - mixing work and pleasure in Thailand and Dubai. I have yet to discover whether it was a very fruitful working trip, but the holiday parts were ace.

While I was away my Reptile Shrine column went up, with the best of 2015's black metal releases.

I would have made this thread earlier, but I was working/in the pool/flying falcons

No doubt that 2015 was a big year for black metal - every year seems to be. That genre just won't stagnate, dammit. Bands just keep on coming up with new twists, turns and reinventions of the wheel. And being the contrary bastard that I am (can be) I didn't give the number one album spot to an album. Not as such.

Go and check it out if you haven't already seen it. Please do.
