[kj] OT: Metal Blogs

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

Oops, sorry I missed this.

Honestly, I don't keep up with metal blogs, though I probably should. 
I'm familiar with the Aversiononline.com blog, which Martin Paul noted, 
because they cover a fairly good spectrum of underground rock, from 
black metal to hardcore to just indie rock. For awhile they were giving 
some horrible bands glowing reviews (The Distance) and it seemed like 
the blog was slipping into a "blogging for cash" deal, but over the past 
few weeks that blog has sort of won me back. I have learned a lot about 
current black metal from it, especially black metal bands from France, 
where according to Aversiononline some of the best black metal these 
days is being made (had no idea, but a Fr. black metal band they 
profiled, Merrimack, was pretty good, I thought).
