FALSE ARREST! FALSE ARREST!
what's funny? please explain o ye of Fleurety(highbrow) fame why black metal should not be about satan and satan alone.I don't care for or classify alot of these bands as black metal anymore,Sodom is way more black metal than a band like fucking Alcest.I don't really care but it's abit sad seeing all these crappy bands standing where kings once stood.

This sounds interesting. I love all of their past work. The vocals are ace, IMO. If it has, as you say, less BM elements, I'm not sure how I'll feel about it either, but I'm looking forward to finding out!

I wonder if Barker is going to un-tighten his drumming-style for this thing.

If you're expecting black metal in any form, you should not listen. I can not think of any other band to compare the new sound to, i'll just say it's 'rock'.

The best way to discredit someone by saying they're lying is by making shit up yourself, right?
I'm not a big fan of the band, but what you just said is blatantly false. I know this because I have seen where they live through a mutual friend the two brothers and I share. They may be up their own ass half the time with their rhetoric, but the guys are complete and utterly devoted to their lifestyle and they live as much as they can from the land. Now, how they intend to fit the whole flying overseas for tours thing into their philosophy, I don't know, but maybe it demonstrates how redundant that lifestyle is when you're also pursuing a pretty popular musical project.

Because if black metal were about Satan alone, then about half my black metal collection suddenly wouldn't be black metal anymore. I'm sure the same would be the case for a lot of other black metal fans. Yeah, that would be retarded.

I suppose what i was getting at was more that I did enjoy the early avant garde stuff and up until recently enjoyed the more experimental side of black metal.I think this Cold World cd I bought recently after it being recommended and getting heaps of good reviews was the turning point where I decided that I personally don't want that shit in my BM collection anymore.I'll just stick too brutal oldschool Black/Death be they new or old bands,I don't like my BM to be nice.If I want to listen to shoegaze i'll listen to slowdive.

So what are the essential releases from this year so far? I'm too pressed for time these days to dig around much.

Well, almost everything I have heard so far has been an immense disappointment, so you might not be wrong. Just picked up Belus yesterday, I guess that's essential to hear, though not necessarily essential in terms of quality.

What does everyone think of Blood Storm? Any bands similar to them?

The Kerasphorus EP is pretty cool if not derivative of other stuff that Pete and J. Read have been in before, as is the latest Blasphemophagher. Otherwise, there isn't anything other than Belus (which I've heard once on a trip with a friend) I've heard that needs to be listened to immediately.
Watch out for the new Inquisition album though. They played about half of it live and I expect it to be an absolute monolith.

I'm enjoying the new Blasphemophagher, it's a good album. Fine example of how to mix Black and Death Metal. I need to get their first full-lenght, though.

Any Fans of Midnight here? 'Complete And Total Fucking Midnight' is one of the most rocking slabs of blackened Sodom worship you'll ever hear.It contains Athenar's complete recorded worx,goes for 66:56 and there is not one moment of filler to be found.

Problem Yet to be Solved
Well, the first point I'd make is this: Satanism is all about the individual. True individuals shirk tradition. Tradition in music is tradition that denies one of individuality. Considering this, a satanist should have more to say, with the "religion's" emphasis on self-actualization and self-growth, than praise for a biblical conception of Satan, which is truly a sham, as Israelites had no concept of an adversary before coming into contact with nomadic Zoroastrians.
Second, Burzum and Darkthrone had no Satanic lyrics, leaving Mayhem the only of the big 3 to be a Satanic band.
Third, Norsecore bands have a Satanic focus.
Fourth, Sodom is a thrash metal band.
And fifth, black metal's harsh vocals obscure its lyrics, in my opinion, to shift focus toward other aspects of the music such as instrumentation. So even if you took all of, say, Negura Bunget's lyrics and turned them satanic, it would be insignificant as their focus is musical in nature.
I know you're a Bestial Black Metal fan (which I am not) and therefore black metal is largely aesthetic to you, so inevitably, we will disagree on this.
