Black Metal

[Vedicardi]

Bathory is a good band

My vocalist Joe Stamps plays in black metal band Ethereal, check them out at www.myspace.com/etherealofficial

Do it faggots

 

[Ocelot2010]

Celtic Frost/Venom/Mercyful Fate FTW!!!

 

[Vedicardi]

Never really thought of Mercyful Fate as black metal

 

[Podgie]

I don't consider them to be black metal. However I do consider them to have had one of the biggest influences on the first wave of Norwegian black metal.

 

[diddykoi6]

everytime i have mentioned black metal to one of my relatives they have said. what? black people doing metal??

and at this point i facepalm, die a little inside and again

 

[Podgie]

To my knowledge there's hardly any black/mixed race musicians in black metal bands, which is kind of odd as that's definitely not the case in other forms of metal.

How can you tell? They all paint themselves up like corpses anyway.

Nah on a serious note, I'm pretty sure most countries have a band or several that class themselves as Black Metal. Seems to be quite big in Japan.

 

[Podgie]

Oh, I know it's big in Japan... I just meant there are hardly ANY black metal bands which contain black members.

I wouldn't consider them to be anything else.

death metal seems far more prevalent to me, though said black-metal-ers use make up as if they were playing black metal.

death metal shits all over black metal.

 

[D.Ingram]

True, but there are a small handful of BM bands that make DM look totally gay

 

[Podgie]

This song is fucking awesome, so I thought I'd share it...



Listen to it, half way through is one of the greatest black metal riffs I have ever heard

 

[Keenan]

^I'll check that out when this Rainbow song ends.

EDIT : Holy shit dude! Who are they? Where are they from? And where can I buy that album?


Whats the general concensus of Tsjuder? Yay? Nay? I heard one song and kinda liked it....

 

[D.Ingram]

I'm so tempted to write a song called 'Church Burning Faggot'

 

[Podgie]

EDIT : Holy shit dude! Who are they? Where are they from? And where can I buy that album?

They're Taake, from Bergen, Norway. You can probably find that album (Hordalands Doedskvad) on Amazon, though it probably won't be cheap.

Personally I think Tsjuder are (were, they've split-up now) one of the best modern black metal bands. Their best (and last) album Desert Northern Hell features the song you heard.

The best thing about Black Metal imo are the hilarious music videos. It's not a good black metal song unless they film a video for it in a woods with a 20 year old camera and a budget of 12p
