Black Metal
 

I haven't seen any topics for it, and I'm too lazy to look to see if there was one before this.

Anyway, this is for those of you into the more extreme side of music.

Carpathian Forest
Marduk
Darkthrone
Darkfuneral
Burzum
Meridian
Morgul
Emperor
Taake
Immortal
Vulture Lord (lol)
Gorgoroth
Mayhem
Dimmu Borgir (early stuff, anyway)
Legion Of The Fallen
Bauglir
1349
Hellhammer
Satyricon
Windir
Vreid
I could go on but I'm lazy

Black Metal is worse than anything.

Even System of a Down.

This, coming from the boy who wanted to be a woman?

Black metal ist krieg.

how the fuck does gender confusion have anything to do with what kind of music someone likes

yeah dude, don't be sexist.
bitches hate that.

To put it simply, not liking Black metal simply shows that you have a lack of penis.

Have any of you guys heard the new Watain by any chance?

This can be forgiven. The fact her favourite band is My Chemical Romance cannot.

Hell
yes

Not contradicting the fact that I like The Black Parade, but everything else about MCR can suck a complete dick. The fans, the bandmembers, the bandmembers constant fanservice to their female admirers in the form of being faggots with each other, everything.

They'd be more popular with the cool kids if they weren't such jackasses!

ALRIGHT... This is Black metal... Not emo bullshit. MCR displeases Satan.

And what'd you think about the new Watain, Vanhelm? It fuckin slayed...

Damn straight. I really want to see them live.

I personally can't wait to Carpathian Forest to finally fucking tour North America. They keep letter rumors of one go out, but you never see any substance.

I donno...I just don't think it would be the full Carpathian Forest experience without Vrangsinn.
I'd still go see them of course. but it would feel incomplete without the fat-ass in speedos of legend.

They're so amazingly tongue-in-cheek, too. I mean, albums called "Shiny Black Leather" and "Fuck You All!!!!"? So. Cool.

Black Shining Leather.

I love Nattefrost though. Hes fucking insane. And funny.

oh, right. Just destroyed my metal-cred there.
The entire band is that way.

have you seen these?

hahah yeah man. When they first came out.

The Abbath with the zipper down is classic.

Yeah.
I can't stand some of those bands though. The kind that take themselves really seriously, like Gorgoroth and mayhem. If you're not willing to humiliate yourself for your fans then you shouldn't be in a band.

No way, i love the ones that take it really seriously, they make some of the best music, and you almost never have to worry about their music being dishonest.


I was likening your tendencies to desire being viewed as a woman to a strong flaw in your judgement. A person of you character would not be able to fully apreciate a genre of music beyond the scope of traditional rock or whatever is popular nowadays. You fag.

There's a difference between taking yourself seriously, and taking your music seriously.
Mayhem is all like "Holy crap. We are so good. Do not diss us we are awesome"
And would never do anything humorous.

The best example I can think of would be anyone in Iron Maiden except bruce dickinson (he's an asshole)
They are completely dedicated to their music. But they don't think of themselves as "too good" to do anything.

I think it all goes hand in hand with so many BM bands idea that they have to be evil or whatever. It's bullshit.
"We have to be the most evil satanic band ever! We'll have 50 goat skulls and 666 inverted crosses, yeah! We're so KVLT"
Just shut up and wear a pink speedo because it would be hilarious.

It's like they don't know how to have a good fun time without sacrificing a virgin and masturbating over a severed goat head.

Black metal is good but the fans, the performers and the ideology is ridiculous

Finally. Someone needed to say that. And I didn't want it to be me.

Not entirely. Despite the fact that he is a complete piece of shit, I agree with Varg's reasons for burning down the churches, but not with the fact that he actually did it. A lot of Black Metal (once you get beyond childish obsessions with satan) bands are about very reasonable things, such as free thinking, the rejection of religion (judeo-christianity especially) in favor of ancient rituals, ancestor veneration, environmental conservation and propagation, naturalism, astronomy, and the revocation of one's own position within human society. Corpsepaint, satan, animal parts, church burnings, taking yourself seriously, and murder are all just theatrics.

The problem arises when the line between real thinking and theatrics is blurred. Which happens all to often up in the frozen wastes.

and those church burnings. the idea was "Jesus is bad. We make Jesus go away" which shows a hate for a group of people based on their religion. I mean, I'm all for hating people like Jerry Fallwell who said that katrina and the tsunami happened because of gay people, but burning down a church just because Jesus is stupid?
Lame.
It's the same kind of thinking that got so many of his precious vikings killed back in the day.
It's the same kind of thinking that makes people want to keep all Muslims off planes

Either way.
Burzum is amazing.
