My first thoughts in relation to why it's not more revered as an early, badass metal record are the punk element.

It's kinda weird, but in my experience, there seems to be incredibly little cross over between black metal/death metal and punk. Even if you can find music like this that show how these genres can work on some of the same levels.

I think this is too punk for typical underground metal geeks.

Bruh black metal came about because of bands who couldn't play their instruments crossing Motorhead with punk and hardcore. Black metal wouldn't exist without punk. Early Hellhammer, Bathory, and NME were almost punk bands playing metal.

Which is why it's weird that underground black metal fans don't usually pay any respect to or take any interest in punk. At least as far as the impression I've formed over the years goes.

Well Mayhem and Darkthrone are far enough removed from black metal's origins that it almost doesn't matter, but that scuzzy ****tiness is definitely derived from punk.

I think black metal fans should get into punk, and vice versa. Just makes more sense that way.

If this isn't the sickest story in metal then it's top 5.

Quote:
The crime occurred in an apartment building on South 281st in Federal Way, Washington on April 7, 1986. In the days and weeks prior to that fateful day, N.M.E. guitarist Kurt Struebing had been acting strange. He cut off his long hair, a very un-metal thing to do in the 1980s, and drank an entire container of carpet cleaning fluid to “clean himself out”. He began suffering from paranoia and delusions, thinking that people around him were robots and following him, going so far as to hit one of his friends in the chin with a bat. We don’t know precisely what transpired that evening and into the early morning hours in the apartment Struebing shared with his 53-year-old mother Darlee Struebing (♠), though friends later indicated the pair had a great relationship and that she was very supportive of her son. However, Kurt called 911 shortly after midnight and told the operator that he had killed his mother, describing it as a “God job”. The police arrived at the apartment building and encountered a naked Kurt Struebing outside waiting for them. When they made contact with him, Struebing is reported to have said, “I killed my mother and then I killed myself.”

The scene inside the apartment was gruesome. Darlee had been stabbed in the chest with scissors and struck about the head with a hatchet. (♣) She had also been raped. Kurt was sent to a psychiatric hospital (Western State) for evaluation and a few days after the murder tried to kill himself. He told the doctors that he thought he and his mother were robots sent to earth by aliens to somehow prepare the planet for the arrival of other forces. His assault on her was an attempt to prove that she was indeed a robot. She was not.

It was clear to everyone involved, including the prosecutor, that Kurt Struebing was mentally ill. Ultimately he pled guilty to second degree murder and sentenced to 12 years in the mental health unit at the penitentiary in Monroe, Washington, which is only maybe 10 miles from Life in the Vinyl Lane World Headquarters. He served eight, and was released in 1994.

By all accounts things went well for Struebing after his release. N.M.E. re-formed and Kurt organized various benefit shows when those in the local metal community who needed help. He got married, had a son, and worked at a printing company.

And then on March 9, 2005, he drove his car off a bridge.

Steve Vai - "Dark Matter" Official Music Video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aINCu8CoTA
Just posting this here because I can't figure out what's going on with the drummer in this music video. I don't know if he's goofing around for the sake of the video, or if he's got the dumbest looking drumming moves in the history of music. You also get treated to Steve Vai wearing a variety of terrible looking costumes.
