Kentucky Political Blogger To Produce Documentary About Black Metal - Dec. 29, 2009
Well-known Kentucky political blogger and musician William "Shack" Shackleford has announced plans to produce a documentary about black metal in America.
"Many kids have no idea what true black metal is all about," said Shackleford. "Patriarchs like [BURZUM leader] Varg Vikernes and others in the movement are grossly misunderstood.
"I have been exchanging emails with Vikernes. Hopefully we can work it out so I can release these emails as a part of the upcoming documentary."
Shackleford added, "I am a Christian but I understand how some disenfranchised youths in Europe and America view the secular church.
"I am not producing this documentary in a Christian-only point of view. It will include everyone's point of view.
"I think it is important that metal fans young and old sit down and begin to understand today's metal. It's not all face paint and loud guitars; it is serious business in many parts of the world.
"I am a huge black metal fan and I am not producing this documentary to take a shit on the genre either."
Black Station Productions will produce and release the documentary sometime in 2010.
Shackleford's blog, The Rural Democrat, is described as "one of the top Democratic-leaning blogs in America." Shackleford is also the lead guitarist for Kentucky's "premiere metal band" INCHAINED.
Just listened to Hate Them. Underrated me thinks. It just sounds so pissed off and bitter. Good stuff. Not Black Metal majesty, but angry for sure.
Hate Them is a fantastic record.
Gentlemen, I'm sorry I missed this yesterday so I'm bringing it up now.
This is probably the first time I see anyone mentioning "Hate Them", the album that actually got me into Black Metal. I also think this is an extremely underrated Darkthrone album.
People should listen to it carefully, it's pure gold.
Cheers!!
Where might I find a DL link for that, Mort Divine?
Just picked up a copy of this today for five bucks.
