i love black metal and don't mind if it's true or new as long as it sounds good to me.. but personally i enjoy Darkthrone, Mayhem, Satyricon, Immortal, Abruptum, Burzum, Astarte, Ulver etc etc
though i think the corpse paint, the forests, the trolls, the spikes, etc are a part of it (i like the aesthetic part in a band too), it's not ALL of it.. so what bothers me about BM is that people who like to play "the evil one" without listening to the music.... or when they say if it's not about satan it can't be BM
to me, Burzum was never satanic, but the same people who say that put Grishnack in an altar just because the myth... which shows they have no idea...
i don't agree with the satanic lyrics 'cause i don't believe in satan...
i think i broke every single rule of Black Metal 101, anyway.. so i shouldn't be saying anything....
oh except "Don't be Dani Filth"... breaking that one can't be too hard 'cause he sure looks like a woman hehe
