We continue our 'The Year In Heavy" series as move further into the 90s ... not a great decade for the fortunes of heavy metal.

However, 1993 was a particularly good year for black metal as you shall hear. But fear not ... death metal, grindcore, hard rock, melodic punk, doom and thrash are also represented. An eclectic mix of heaviness to be sure.

Things are gonna get out of hand!!!!
