Hahaha, that reminds me of old times. I remember when I first began to search for black metal on the internet; all everyone would talk about would be the LLN or Black Legions. I actually own a Mutiilation cd(Sorrow Galaxies) but aside from that I never got into the whole craze. I remember hearing many odd rumors about the LLN, from sticking a microphone in a dog's anus and recording it to the LLN giving up black metal and taking up skateboarding.

Whilst finding cheap CDs and records was a good part of the 1990's, the state of "metal" was fairly dire in the late 1990's at least if the mainstream was anything to go by.

Here for instance is the UK Metal Hammer's albums of the year in 1997:

1. Feeder - Polythene
2. Entombed - To Ride, Shoot Straight And Speak The Truth
3. 3 Colours Red - Pure
4. Foo Fighters - The Colour And The Shape
5. Deftones - Around The Fur
6. Radiohead - OK Computer
7. Paradise Lost - One Second
8. Prodigy - The Fat Of The Land
9. The Verve - Urban Hymns
10. Faith No More - Album Of The Year
11. Sick Of It All - Built To Last
12. Misery Loves Co. - Not Like Them
13. Strapping Young Lad - City
14. Metallica - Re-Load
15. Kerbdog - On The Turn
16. Green Day - Nimrod
17. Reef - Glow
18. Me First And The Gimme Gimmes - Have A Ball
19. Oasis - Be Here Now
20. Life Of Agony - Soul Searching Sun

And people wondered why bands never came to the UK....

yeah, that's all crap. Says it all really... even Entombed was rubbish then too.
I preferred The Hellacopters!

hahahaha. Oh my, 3 Colors Red? Oasis? Reef? Foo Fighters? THE VERVE? Haha

Pitiful list.

Man I was never much of a 'DETH TO THE FALSE ONES!' kinda guy but lists like that make me reconsider...

What the fuck. That list is unbelievable

You all act as if you're surprised by the contents of that list.

I'm old enough to remember - that's exactly why I miss the nineties, while fellow (dare I call them?) headbangers and hard rockers were busy with all that crap I would go a hunting, vacuuming the second-hand stores not at all needing much money. These days prices are just sick!
