Recently checked out a fast black metal band from detroit michigan called "Enochian". They were very fast, very strongly in the vein of Dark Funeral, Marduk, The legion, 1349 (Hellfire era) etc. What a breath of fresh air to hear such black metal hailing from US. USBM does have a hope it seems! I know they have a demo out and an ep soon as advertised on their myspace page. Check em out! www.myspace.com/thetrueenochian

Thanks for getting the rest of us up to speed.
