I've heard 'Blood Fire Death' at a friends and it was not black metal but Thrash. He also told me their other stuff is viking metal.
Black metal as a genre is 'Gothic', to not think that is ridiculous. Certain bands that might not fit the mold don't change majority of a genre either. The genre is gothic and image based. I doubt their is any BM bands that don't wear gothic clothing or corpe paint in the genre but if you want to prove me wrong go ahead and try.

Look at the founding fathers of Black Metal, one being in your signature, The Greys, only in his original band, Mercyful Fate. Venom is Gothic to you? Bathory is Gothic to you? Celtic Frost and Hellhammer are Gothic to you? Those are all Black Metal bands. Nearly every Black Metal band that followed ripped these bands off. Cradle Of Filth is Gothic. Darkthrone is not. Especially now. They haven't even worn corpsepaint since the mid 90's.

My helpful self wants to respond to The Greys and explain nicely how he is wrong......but another part of me says he will never change no matter what I say.
Anyway, there are lots of shitty black metal bands who thrive on image and make crappy music. But as you said, a few people don't define the genre. There are lots of great bands who aren't all about image, and yes, there are lots of bands who don't wear corpsepaint. One of the biggest being Emperor, I believe they only have corpsepaint on for their demo.

Yeah honestly I wasn't paying attention and thought this was the "Top Ten Worse Black Metal Pictures" Thread

If you really met the Greys and he had the typical mongloid retarded looking face, and the classic stout retard body structure- would you still punch him?

The Greys loses this thread because he failed to spell the band Kamelot correctly while defending them.

hahaha. i started this thread to inquire bout a power metal and it turns into a black metal war. i fuckin luv it. 
and dodens is right when he claims that the black metal forefathers were devoid of any gothic influence but i do see it a lot in bands that follow sometimes in musical atmosphere, sometimes in image. i prefer it kept in the music however. the image aspect usually just serves as a marketing ploy to appeal to people that maybe want that same image ahem*HIM*ahem

The Black Metal image, though some would say is similar, really doesn't have much to do with the Gothic image. They both just happened to adopt the black color. The Goths, of course, simply because they thought it looked cool, and Black Metallers simply because they thought Quorthon looked cool.
well put. black metal tends to be dark and evil in image where the whole goth thing in my eyes tends to just be dark and melincholyDodens Grav said:
