Ah dude's from Norway!
Why am I not surprised?
Why are you not suprised? (srs)
Ahaha I see what you mean, although I have to disagree about Mayhem and Gorgoroth, I can understand if you don't like them, but they are essentially different bands you are talking about.
From what I can tell the riffs that Thor (still can't believe that's his name ) wrote are actually pretty sick, and in the vein of Myrkskog and old MA, but in context they make for really shitty songs.
Hi, here's a short list of some bands I really liked that did their best to take the meanest dump possible on whatever it was that I liked about their music. In no particular order:
Mayhem
Darkthrone
Enslaved
Immortal
Gorgoroth
Dodheimsgard
Ulver
Emperor
Satyricon
I'm sure there are quite a few other less significant fuckups. But as far as I'm concerned, they put Fag-out/Sellout in the water system up there or something. And Vikernes is only the exception that proves the rule (then again he was in jail and shit haha)
I can agree with you on satyricon but none of the others. Well, didn't really care for the last Emperor album either.
Ulver are so great, even live (what a surprise for me!). Love their electronica albums.
