First wave bm is just thrash metal

I met Tom Fischer at a David Gilmour concert in Rome years ago. He seemed too happy to have contributed to the creation of black metal

Tell that to Hellhammer's face.

first wave BM is a government psyop to make you think those bands were cooler than they were

Funny how first wave sounds different to second wave but anything sounding different to second wave after isn't considered bm

Yep. Venom, Mercyful Fate, Sodom, Bathory, Celtic Frost, Sarcofago, etc.

So did the first wave of black metal even exist? In Greece there is a toxic dispute among the metal youtubers. They are cursing and badmouthing each other.
