I was going through the new release site on everynoise.com that I think was posted upthread and noticed that some group called "Craft" that is definitely not the black metal group of that same name is miscategorized as black metal. Not sure if this messes anything else up. Sucks when you search for Craft now that all the results are cluttered with this other group, but not sure if genre tags could even fix that. Maybe if you filtered out DK Records, or just specified the black metal genre.
