Man…Metal Hammer is one of the best magazines on the planet and for them to really look out for bands, scenes from other places besides the US is much appreciated.
A couple days ago they put up this really cool article chronicling the Chinese black-metal scene.

Of course with any article that tries to do a quick summary of a certain scene or genre of music, they’re going to miss a lot of other bands that should be on this list.

Enjoy – and BIG thanks to Metal Hammer for drafting, researching and publishing this article.
