SFJ, black metal

Frere-Jones’s article on American black metal reads wonderfully (“couture pandas”!), and is currently tempting me to dump an entire transcript here, of an interview I did with Hunter Hunt-Hendrix from Liturgy, for a New York piece that got axed. SFJ is certainly correct that there is a whole lot of thought and passion involved in people’s ideas of black metal — even traces of it in the dumbest and most puffed-up genre gatekeeping.

EDIT: Oh, right — Brad points out a curious claim in this article that slipped past me.

    cannot recommend Sasha Frere-Jones’ writing enough as someone who makes...care about...

    SF-J’s funk band broke up and he’s now playing metal?
