I'm curious as to what your opinions are on this. What type of music do you see more of out in the field? For a while, I would have said Power Metal, but every other day, I seem to find yet another site that specializes in "Black Metal" of sorts.
It just seems like there are thousands upon thousands of black metal bands with maybe one CD available from these "hole in the wall" websites. I'm not sure how anyone can keep up with the number of artists out there - are these guys on official labels? Self produced? Demos? How many 'one man bands' are out there now?
I'm not saying it's a bad thing, I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed this too? And if so, what do you think the ratio is between the good vs. bad?
