I think it's important that I tell you . . .

[Nate The Great]

. . . that black metal comprises the largest single sub-genre in my music collection. I felt it was necessary to tell you this because so many of you think I'm into hardcore and that stuff. I actually don't own a single true hardcore CD. I sold my Hatebreed, and I think that finished it off. Now, it would be fair to say I have a fairly large section of this so-called "core" stuff. This section would include everything from Swans to Neurosis/Isis to Today is the Day and Converge.

So I feel like I can now join in all your reindeer games.

So suck it!

I actually would've guessed this, based on most of your recent posts and whatnot.

I'm sure my biggest chunk is early-90's alternative rock/metal/whatever.

Black metal maybe 20 albums total.

God damn I'm so much eviler than you!

 

[Ellestin]

Nate, send me your list for a fair reassessment of what is black metal and what is not!

 

[Nate The Great]

Cradle of Filth is probably my favorite black metal band, if that makes a difference.

 

[AsModEe]

nice sarcasm

that's cool man. true black metaller from kansas.

my biggest is the viking/pagan/folk stuff, but most of it can be classified as black metal, so yeah. hell, a good chunk is just graveland. we're in touch with our long ago ancestors and stuff

Fair enuff.

154 of my 417 CDs bear the black metal tag. The next subgenre must be alternative metal (which englobes anything remotely post-coreish).

My Favorite black metal band? 24/7 Spyz

Nate - no need to justify yourself to us. Only the Royal Carnage staff is that gay to care one way or another.

Say, if we're going by Anal Cunt's joke, does Suffocation count as a black metal band?

 

[JayKeeley]

"Royal Carnage staff" ?

You're annoying, just an FYI.

 

[Nate The Great]

Give him a break. He doesn't come around that often.

It is a fact that most people formerly involved with RC are pretty heavily into viking and pagan stuff.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

I don't care if he never comes around again. [/uberdick]

I don't know why he does it, but he's arrogant on purpose and knows it. He's stated before that his "real life" personality is not reflective of his "online" personality whatsoever in that he's a friendly person to hang around and talk metal, etc. I don't know if it's bitterness about something specific or just in general, but I wish he'd reflect that side of himself online more often (every now and then he does) because it's obvious he has plenty to offer by way of legit discussion.

BenMech is funny. It's dickfunny, but funny anyhow.

Sometimes, perhaps. I mean, sarcasm can definitely be a great way to prove a point or make a joke, but more often than not, his sarcasm simply has a "mean" connotation to it.
