say something about ... yourself!

Yeah, but I think black metal's elitism has pretty much waned by now. Just like anything else, the more exposed it gets, the less appeal from the purists who were there in the beginning.

It's a tough time for BM these days. If it's done too melodically, people claim they've sold out and are up Dimmu's ass, while if it's too pure and underground, it becomes a mockery of itself. Quite the paradox.
 
I really never understood the hatred towards that book. It's written for the layperson.

Unless that's precisely the point, that the tr00 and n3kr0 BMers are shunning the layperson. But that would be silly. That's like making fun of someone for not speaking Swahili.

Are there any other books along the lines of LoC that are much better at telling the story?

:kickass:

Anyway staring at this computer screen is making my head hurt so I'm going to take some more painkillers and possibly go back to sleep.
 
I could handle it if we stay in a hotel downtown. Or I could just call in sick to work the next day, I woulda been there long enough at that point.
 
Haven't said anything here about this yet because I've really been trying to wrap my head around it all. I am still having trouble and I'm not sure the full reality has hit me yet, but one of my cousins from Arizona was in a really nasty car accident this past weekend. He's currently hooked up to a breathing machine in Intensive Care with 7 broken ribs, a shattered leg, a shattered pelvis, and doctors are saying they're not sure when or if he'll ever walk again. He can't talk or move. The worst part is that this is ALL I know. At this point I'm just assuming that no news is good news.

He's only a couple years older than me, has a wife and 2 very young kids. I can't imagine how they must feel right now. Not really sure what else to think or do right now, this is pretty surreal.

Oh, also the guy that hit him fled the scene but was fortunately captured a couple hours later and is currently sitting in jail where hopefully he will end up staying for a very long fucking time.

Shit Kevin, that is some heavy stuff. I don't think anyone can say anything that makes it better unless they are a doctor with good news, so I'll just hold out hope for that.
