Hell, Corb Lund is really starting to catch onto the country music circuit down here.

Two points:
1. Corb Lund is a genuinely fun country musician.
2. You're forgetting the importance of Blasphemy to the black metal scene. You can hardly go to a metal forum without seeing "rbce" (ross bay cult eternal), or discussions of war/bestial black metal. Christ, one of their biggest worship bands (Black Witchery) have somehow become popular to the point I've had several people,
in Montana, start conversations with me about the band.
