Ahhh yes Bathory. Sounds like an angry trash can.

I had sex with Ghaal and he let me off with a warning.

AHHH IT'S FUNNY CAUSE GAAHL IS ACTUALLY GAY! YES! But seriously, I wasn't this surprised. He caught himself a fuckin hottie, too.

 

[Shpongled]

Gaahl isn't gay, that's just what he wants you to believe.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

So that he can take women by surprise, making rape easier?

 

[neal]

it's what satan would do

I always get excited when I meet someone who doesn't know the story of Black Metal. It's really quite compelling, and great fun to tell. It's left a few people on the edge of their seat, and eager to check out the music.

And it's great music indeed. Music doesn't need a fascinating story behind it, but it always helps. But it, too, doesn't necessarily imply that the music is going to be good (case in point GG Allin).

While Mayhem was never a great band, their tale is incredible, and there are a ton of excellent bands to come out of that scene that makes all the crappy shit that happened worthy collateral damage to spawn a killer new musick.

If we can get serious here for just a second, how many people that call themselves fans of true black metal would actually live the lifestyle to the extent that Dead did according to this letter? It would seem to me that in order to legitimately consider yourself a purveyor of what these obviously mentally unstable people considered true DEATH metal, you'd need to be going to same lengths that Dead did in order to support your cause. When he saw his evil music becoming less evil, he fucking murdered himself instead of dealing with it.

I can't say I know ANYONE that would be willing to do that. Black metal indeed has a fascinating history and it's entertaining to read and learn about, but I think that's because it's so outlandish and ridiculous also. Music is cool and everything, but it's not the only reason to live.

Yeah, those dudes weren't all talk. They backed their ideology up with action. Personally, I think people should bring back the church burnings.

What if the Christians started burning down metal music venues?

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

That wouldn't be very Christian of them!

Also, what I'm basically getting at is this:

Are you willing to blow out your own brains for your music? If not, what makes you any better than the trendy people?

Man, I gotta get "Return" and "Under the Sign" one of these days. I've been into black metal since 2002 (i think i have over 150 different bm artists) and i never got around to acquiring those records.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

I suppose nothing!
