Where the Genre is Now
Bands that were signed to Euronymous’ label, Deathlike Silence Productions, are still making music today. Euronymous had an uncanny ear for the unique and bizarre, signing Swedish bands Merciless and Abruptum, who are innovators of death metal. Euronymous also signed a band called Sigh, the first and quite possibly the only famous black metal band from Japan. All of these bands still produce music to this day, however, it is widely considered that the albums that Euronymous consigned through his label are the rawest and authentic albums that these bands have created.
