I'm sorry but I detest Darkthrone. I find it highly boring and untalented. Yes, I said it, most of the Black Metal community will come and sodomize, sacrifice and bloodlustfully worship my inverted necrocorpse, but I hate them.
That Vikindin thing looks fucking stupid! I'll have a listen though hehe
i agree, i dont like darkthrone, omg i have not laughed my ass off that much in a while especially with the black metal photo shoot with his fly down, haha
that was Abbath of Immortal
Haha yeah
And I enjoy Darkthrone, I'm sad I didn't start listening to them till very recently (though I've known about them forever) Would be interesting to listen to them well walking around outside in the middle of winter.
Well, i can't speak about Darkthrone specifically, but any black metal takes on a totally different dimension when you do that. I'm not a huge Emperor fan normally, but once Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk was the only CD i had lying around when my iPod was out of batteries, so i listened on the walk somewhere, and it was so much better than normal.
We just got a HUGE dump of snow, like 16 inches, so if i get some free time, (and if i can get my ipod to turn on, fucking piece of shit), i'm gonna go into the woods about a 10 minute walk from my house, listen to all sorts of BM, and take nature pictures.
i think my ipods broken too, try holding the middle button and play, if that doesnt work you my friend are screwed,
So I assume you guys are familiar with the "Top 10 Most Rediculous Black Metal Pics of All Time" right?

Nothing wrong with excessively ridiculous logos. Although admittedly Dark Funeral's one is a bit generic-looking (ye olde English font, pentagram, inverted crosses).
Anyway, as someone mentioned before, Gorgoroth are one of the few bands that can do the corpsepaint thing effectively:
Not the nicest bunch of lads, but that's aside the point, heh.
What NOT to do:
I could've sworn that these guys were joking, but I don't think they are. http://www.myspace.com/vikindin
i think in a very simplistic answer: its overdone, but I wont dislike a band just bcause they have or dont have corpsepaint.
