Vintersorg is NOT black metal

I think Black Metal bands just make fun of themself, both thier lyrics and thier apperance (though that doesnt really matter...but it looks so funny with all these wannabe evils..). And thier music aint nothing special mostly.
 
I don't listen to most BM stuff, but that is because I don't have the time to check those bands out. So I can't really give any comments about BM bands, plus I really dislike to label bands and most of all I dislike the word "true"!!!!!!!!
TRUE means to be intolerant in most ways or may I say in any way!!!
So if a band label themselve as "true", well, they will end up on the end of my "check out list"... I guess!

i thought most of it was making fun of itself too, until i read lords of chaos and got informed on the topic.
but it is still funny how most of it involves winter, north, and being cold in the woods all the time. that kinda stuff always makes me snicker.
but the music rules. its so raw and brutal while still creating atmosphere, even without using keyboards.

some of what you listed as your fav.s are racist.

Well how about telling me which ones?. And how do you know? Are you a close friend to any of these bands? If you're not, then I suggest you don't go spreading rumors about people you don't know.
You make broad statements like "most Black Metal is racist" and then try to argue your point without any facts. And don't try to use Lords of Chaos as a reference, because the author of the book is borderline racist himself (see interview in the book "Lucifer Rising"), and it really only makes reference to Varg Vikernes, and Hendrik Mobus' small clique of idiotic children, who fancy themselves revolutionaries. And who I already know are Nazi piles of shit (and in jail).

Come back to the fight with some ammunition, and I will have some respect for your opinion.

np problem bud.

a statement that went along with the original(peaceville) copy of Transilvanian Hunger written by Fenriz (drummer):
"We would like to state that T.H. stands beyond any criticism, if any man should attempt to critcize this LP, he should be thoroughly patronized for his obvious jewish behaviour"

the member of both mayhem and emperor said in a interview (sorry cant find it, its about 8 years old) black metal is ment for whites only.

bard eithun of emperor killed a homosexual in the woods (im sure you know the story). i know he does not hate gays, but he is intolerant of them.

i heard that the newest singer for marduk (legion) is a racist as well, but i dont know that one for sure.

and the fact that the style is called NSBM kinda rings a bell.

the reason that most arnt as out and open about it anymore is because it isnt popular anymore. it was part of the extreme hatred to be a socialist, not so much anymore. i personally think its becuase the genre spread outside of northern europe and is not as isolated anymore.

but believe what you will....
 
Let me remind you that the statement you made which I am disagreeing with, was:

"most Black Metal is racist"

and this:

is your evidence that proves that "most Black Metal is racist"?


1. Killing a homosexual is considered a hate crime, no racism involved.

2. I don't care what you heard about Marduk. Legion has denied any such thing in various magazines. (again with the rumors)

3. When did NSBM become part of the greater BM genre? It's a sub-culture of a sub-culture, and can hardly be included as "most Black Metal"
 
sorry, i ment most of the older black metal. black metal is more broad and spans the globe at this point.
but i still think that racism is very prominate in the genre, and just becuase they deny it (or dont mention it at all) doesnt mean they arent racist.

and i was not trying to prove that "most black metal is racist" i was explaining to you about...

Well how about telling me which ones?. And how do you know?

but believe what you will...
 
Well, Darkthrone are racist. That's for sure... They were supposed to make a clear statement about that on the cover of Transilvanian Hunger but Peaceville didn't allow it.

Hellhammer of Mayhem said that non-whites aren't supposed to play black metal.

Varg Vikerness is clearly a racist.

One member of Emperor said something alike with Hellhammer's statement if I'm not mistaken.

So not that much but not that little either. Considering that Burzum has quite a few followers.

I found this list on the net:

Most black metal bands are not racist, there are quite a few bands who unfortunately have racist views but it does not include most of them.

And Morgana you are totally in the field with your definition of "true"!!!

Vintersorg have nothing to do with black metal he is unique in his genre. I am a big fan of black metal its what I listen to mostly but it does not stop me from enjoying other form of metal, except for Nu-Metal though.
 
Its Melodic Syntho-Doomgrind <------there is no Black Metal in Melodic Syntho-Doomgrind! :mad: Is this some sort of funny joke? I'm not in the mood! ARG ARF!
