Good, and i think that Euronymous was worse than a sellout moron. I have read many interviews about Euronymous (before Internet existed, you know?), and i dont simply imagining things, dont worry. I am too tired of all these. I hope (and i know) that one day you will realize that the "black metal ideology" thing is just a pile of shit. Cheers
Like I said, I never know euronymous and with my outstnding intelligence I figured out that you didn't either, but AGAIN I can assure you that ideology within BM is present this day and I still believe that it was ten years ago. Prove me wrong if you can.
 
You people worry too much about definitions.

In my mind, black metal have always been fundementally been about satanism, but as the community thinned, the definition expanded. Immortal tried to get away with calling themselves 'holocaust metal', but quickly gave it up and admitted to being a black metal band. And that was perhaps one of the first steps in expanding the genre.

Today, limiting black metal to satanism is only one way to interpret the genre. Although it's not wrong, it's not the only correct answer. Saying that Burzum is black metal, is not wrong. Saying that Enslaved is black metal, is not wrong.

As for black metal image being a joke, the only band that I know of that took it with a smile, was no one else than Immortal themselves.

And as for the ideology being a joke, that's just plain wrong. And I know that for a fact.
 
Holy fuck, this thread grew about 4 pages since this morning. Let me guess, black metal elite against people making fun of its stupidity?

I want in. :loco:

Some of you will have to realise and accept that Satanism isn't about sacrificing virgins to the unholy one while jerking off into a grail
I refer to that as "Tuesday."

Bring up ideology to a troo black metal fan, and the laughter will never stop-especially as most black metal fans dont get why they are funny. Its sad really.

I am 100% CERTAIN that there is music today, black metal, other kinds of extreme metal and non-metal music where ideology DOES matter.
I'm sure this is true, but some posers fake it very well.

the simple fact is that music, like all other human things, evolve. what was good for Euronymous in his heyday may not apply today. After eight years of being underground he began growing up and realizing that eating is sometimes important to the human condition.

If the people behind the music is irrelevant, one shouldn't mention them or have any photos etc, like Deathspell Omega for example.
Cea Serin do exactly this. In the photos section of their web site, the following is stated:

J. Lamm and Cea Serin do not support the use of band photos or any other means of vain attempt to elevate themselves above the music. The creation of art is one of the few arguments in place towards the true origin and surface of life’s existence, and by no means do we see that our image should be substituted for its grandeur. Several pieces of conceptual art are in the stages of completion that will be used in place of the obligatory “band photo” to be sent to magazines and such.

Zod
