...honestly I saw this coming a mile away but it still leaves me scratching my head... why release gear designed for a genre whose tone is intentionally brittle and shitty???

Black Winter's look matches its dark intentions: a black bottom plate, black pole pieces and screws, red wire, and the Seymour Duncan logo in Old English font.

The Hammer is such a tease... Learn how to properly thread...

And sometimes, in capturing a tone suitable for such blackness, guitarists need something with even more grime and aggression; the right balance of mids, treble and bass to instantly go from annihilating riffs to articulately cutting solos. Three ceramic magnets and a special wind produce a distortion that is crushing with aggressive saturation in the mids and high-end.
Black Winter was initially developed for the extreme metal players of Scandinavia and made available in January of this year. Due to an upswell of calls for its full release, you'll now be able to get Black Winter at your local music store or favorite online dealer.

Ha ha ha ha ha!
You made me actually check that press release dude. Just waiting for Casio to release the "you're in jail for murder and aren't allowed a guitar" series of cheapo keyboards. They will also have an old English font to enhance the Nordic feel.

Baha! All of this is gold.
Black metal! Ah you crazy kids.....do they come with spikes? Corpse paint? A fat girlfriend in a corset way too small for her, so she looks like a strung ham?
