About

We write HELL FURNACE for fans who take their enjoyment of underground Black Metal seriously – and to help promote bands who NAIL the perfect balance of savageness, atmosphere, creativity and musicianship.

Decades after the scene began, there are now hordes of high quality Black Metal to feast on:  new champions alongside the growing swarm of old masters we grew up with. It’s a constant battle to sniff out the best new bands and still find time to gorge on all the good old shit!!

HELL FURNACE features the best in recent underground Black Metal releases, as we discover them. We’ll sometimes feature reviews of less well-known high quality albums from the past.

As HELL FURNACE grows, you can expect:

  • Black Metal  Reviews: vivid descriptions, unusual opinions. We aim to explore and describe Black Metal in ways we’ve not seen elsewhere. We don’t use ratings in our reviews, because no-one can actually measure how good a Black Metal album is. We only review good stuff.
  • Black Metal Band Interviews: challenging interview questions, perhaps even revealing or humorous. The world of Black Metal is way too interesting to keep asking bands the same boring fucking questions over and over again.

If your band creates high quality black metal, and you want HELL FURNACE to consider your music for review, email us. Please include a MySpace link or other link to samples of your music.
