Since it's called black metal, why wouldn't they all like black PEOPLE? Weirdos. I know most aren't really racist, but people like Varg Vikerners, blehhh. Church Burning fine. Racism bad.
when it comes to the stances some of those black metal personas have, I just ignore it all, I like the music, whatever, just pay no mind to their actions.
What about the Bass solos from Tallicas "Binge And Purge"? They rocked like fuckers.
And Varg Vikernes was just a really shitty example of a person. Arsehole.
There are many different forms of BM. I dont like the over synthesized shit like Dimmu Borgir. Most of the Black Metal i listen to now is Technically difficult: Thorns, Emperor, Mayhem etc. But i still listen to the old school stuff requently as well: Darkthrone, Old Mayhem, Burzum, Morbid etc. Vilkernes is a very intelligent man, he just has some serious issues.
Varg has intelligent moments. Most sociopathic types pretty much have to be intelligent. Unfortunately, as he changes his whole worldview once every six months, it goes for nothing. I'm a satanist, no I'm norse, no I'm aryan, no I'm a chicken in prison with wanky ass braids.
