long ago in the land of /mu/ there was a tradition known as #NothingButBlackMetalDecember (#NBBMD) where users would forego all other musical pursuits for the entirety of the month of december. eventually this was moved to november and december became NothingButDreamPop december (which makes no sense to me, bm is way more winter-y than dream pop. nothing against dream pop. but whatever)

in honor of this tradition, i will be making daily black metal posts, and everyone should feel free to join in and rec some stuff.

disclaimer: and for the elephant in the room -- yes, some (many) of the people who make black metal are shitty people. for educational purposes i will not be eliding any artists due to ideology if i deem their output important / good enough (though i will not be posting any overt nsbm). it's >current year, there are many ways to listen to music without the artist making a dime. or, you could not listen to it. or mute the thread. or unfollow/block me. no matter. anyway...
