The Washington Post’s Express talks with writer Rick Spears and artist Chuck BB about Black Metal, their humorous ode to metal music and its fans.
“Personally, I think the entire book is a love letter to not just black metal but to all metal music and the metal subculture,” BB says. “I really believe that you can love the beast but still admit there are things that would make one chortle. Often people cite the corpse-paint makeup used in black metal as something silly, but honestly I love it. It is so graphic and iconic. I think the things that people tend to laugh at are just things that are so overtly in their face that they may not be able to handle it.”
