I like a lot of metal genre's....but one genre I can't get into is Black metal....I listened to the oh-so popular Dark Funeral that everyone loves....about 10 times, I just can't get into them. Although, I do listen to Old Man's Child, but they are not raw Black metal. Naglfar is the most raw Black metal I like.

crack you like an acorn
i don't hate metalheads. sometimes i talk to one and their musical world is a subset of mine, or maybe theirs and mine just don't totally overlap, but i can enjoy speaking to them about those parts that do overlap. i consider myself a metalhead but maybe not a pure one. meaning, someone who identifies with metal more than anything else, but also likes a whole lot more other music, and tolerates even more. in short a metalhead minus the close mindedness.

Why the hell is there this perception that Metalheads are closed minded coming from? The stupid Cannibal Corpse fags that only like one band? There's a lot more to people that listen to Metal than you would expect. A lot of "Metalheads" listen to Classical, Jazz, Progressive Rock, etc.

you should get some Steel Reserve 211 from the States.
it's 8.1% alkihawl, and it's the cheapest thing on the rack.
$1.72 for a 40oz, oh yeah baby...

I found that early Darkthrone and early Immortal were probably the easiest raw black metal to get into.
Actually a mate of mine is in Norway at the moment (from Oz) and just sent me pics of some fjords, snow covered mountains, the coffee shope where Helvete used to be etc.
Said Oslo was very depressing but the scenery elsewhere was stunning. He trekked down some path, sat alone overlooking a five mile frozen lake with snow-covered mountains behind, stuck his Ipod on and listen to black metal for about three hours. Said it gave him an entirely noew perspective.
Okay, I'm waffling now ...

The only thing "open" about Steel Reserve is the way it opens up your asshole the next day. No thanks, I can get drunk without something that gives me the shits.

but you can get drunk 2x as fast drinking 211, and still have change for cigarettes from a $5.

Correct. Nazi-ism in itself was a religion, venerating the "Fatherland" and the "Fuhrer" as gods.

Programme of the NSDAP, 24 February 1920
Item # 24: We demand freedom for all religious denominations in the State, provided they do not threaten its existence not offend the moral feelings of the German race.
The Party, as such, stands for positive Christianity, but does not commit itself to any particular denomination. It combats the Jewish-materialistic spirit within and without us, and is convinced that our nation can achieve permanent health only from within on the basis of the principle: The common interest before self-interest.
I stand corrected - partially. This was the "official" or public stance on National Socialism's opinion of religion, though most historians agree that veneration of the state and Fuhrer take priority over any religion in National Socialist society.
