Another week, another country, era, style, pioneer or significant moment in metal history. This episode of Bloody Roots checks in with South Korea’s headbang style, featuring a quarter century of traditional, thrash, death, black, and doomy theatrical metal from the nation that brought us gold farming, Oldboy, and “Gangnam Style.” Whether flamboyant or ferocious, Korea’s bands prove themselves complex beyond their worldly recognition.
