One of the best & committed black metal outfits will call it a day after the release of their up-coming 8th studio album. This will mark a 33-year commitment to the black arts & these people are indeed some of the best out there. The best here refers to the music as well as the embrace of the genre.
We best remember Watain for the 2019 debacle when the band was reported to the authorities here for the alleged inappropriate anti-religion philosophy that threatened the fabric of society (still thinking why similar interests involving non-black metal contention were let off the hook). Prior to this, Dark Funeral, Mayhem & Marduk performed without incident & these acts are equal in their embrace of black metal, if not excessive in the case of Mayhem (murder, church-burning). Then again the enforcements here are selective to the information they are privy to. Authorities have no latent knowledge of bands' musical backgrounds unless they are being rat out by individuals with specific interests, regardless of what these may be.
