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.
