Black Flame
Black Flame was an imprint of BL Publishing, the publishing arm of Games Workshop and a sister imprint to the Black Library and Solaris Books. Black Flame was devoted to publishing cult fiction in the fields of science fiction, fantasy and horror. On 25 April 2008 Black Flame officially closed down.
The rights to Black Flame's 2000 AD titles have been bought by Rebellion Developments, and were made available in eBook format in November 2009. However, the rest of the Black Flame titles remain out of print.
Publications
Black Flame published novels from licensed properties: New Line Cinema and Rebellion, owners of 2000 AD comic. They also revived the Dark Future cyberpunk series, created by Games Workshop (with both new books and reprints).
The books are typically “further adventures” using the pre-established characters, but in the case of New Line there are also a select number of film novelizations.

Black Flame (band)
Black Flame is an Italian black metal band formed in 1998 in the districts surrounding the towns of Asti and Turin.
History
Black Flame was formed by Cardinale Italo Martire, Serpentrax and m:A Fog in 1998. They started playing black metal in a way generally perceived as "cold and raw" by the black metal scene, strongly influenced by the occult both musically and lyrically. There are very few traces of the band's first years of activity, since at that time the band had no official website and was communicating with fans and media only through letters or email.
"Welcome" and "Orgiastic Funeral" Demo era 2001-2002
Black Flame released their first two demos Welcome and Orgiastic Funeral in 2001 and 2002, followed by several live performances. Both demos have raised an increasing interest around the band, which culminated in the recruitment of the drummer m:A Fog by the Italian cult band Mortuary Drape. This event helped Black Flame name to be known also outside Italy and as a result of this the German label Sombre Records released in late 2002 a 350 copies limited 7" EP entitled From Ashes I'll Reborn.

Black Hate
by: NecrophobicDisturbing silence rises and descends
Filling every inch with venomous fear
Figureless dark evil awaits
Demonic glowing eyes burning red and clear
Devastation, desecration, annihilation, Black Hate
It's gonna swallow you limb for limb, you're gonna
drown in Black Hate
Devastation, desecration, blasphemic, Black Hate
To destroy and to crush all men create, Black Hate
Total destruction will reign
Structures built on blind faith, nothing will be saved
As the flame burns out
Their breath fog the night, frost upon their graves
Centuries of war
Upon the burnt skin that covers her tortured womb
Dark ages to come
The beasts roam the sacred ground robbing every tomb
Run like the dogs you are
The black hate will forever lurk, you will not run far
Cast yourself into the obscure
Your spirit will be extinguished like a dying star
Devastation, desecration, annihilation, Black Hate
It's gonna swallow you limb for limb, you're gonna
drown in Black Hate
Devastation, desecration, blasphemic, Black Hate
To destroy and to crush all men create, Black Fucking
