ROOT

Root was one of the original pre-second-wave black metal bands, following in the footsteps of Bathory and Venom, while taking the genre in a more refined, less savage direction. Their style has since progressed towards a more epic, dark metal sound with a clean-sung vocal approach, but their music can still be recognised as black metal at its core due to the unchanged ideology of the band.

Big Boss founded the Czech branch of the Church of Satan.
