the thing is, for the longest time, the metal community shun off brutal raw black metal; it was either the big trve kvlt norweigan bands (burzum, mayhem, darkthrone; emperor especially) or the symphonic goth pop bm bands like cradle of filth and dimmu borgir the ones getting attention. the terrorizer crowd was into like deathspell omega and funeral mist, sort of trying to give it some props, but usbm is kinda like it's own entity, especially because most people into it are more likely to be into boris, corrupted and sunn o))) than, say, thorns or satyricon. if you think about it, black metal is very divided.
