This is not the Black Market. It couldn't be the Black Market, because that column was shaped by the shared taste and sensibility of a group of writers whose collective voice I couldn't emulate if I tried. I'm not Ian or Wyatt or Doug or Aaron or Michael (though I've been lucky enough to cross paths, both personally and professionally, with all of them). I'm Brad Sanders, and this is the first edition of a new metal column called Breaking The Oath.
