Im bored, here are the reasons black metal is stupid.

1. They think shitty production is "cold and necro". What the hell does that even mean? Do you have to put on a jumper to listen to it? The only reason early black metal albums had bad production was BECAUSE THEY COULDNT AFFORD ANYTHING ELSE. Now every moron who plays black metal thinks a shitty production is how it "should" sound, which makes them trend following poser bitches that Manowar would make leave the hall.

2. Satyricon. This band SUCKS. Aside from Fuel For Hatred their music is crap. Yet people fellate them like they are the greatest band ever. I think its because Satyr always goes on about how great they are and everyone is too scared to say otherwise. He must have incriminating pictures of everyone who listens to black metal. He needs to be slapped on his googy egg head and told how crap his band is.

3. Corpse paint and breathing fire. Ok, yes I agree it looks cool sometimes, but KISS DID IT FIRST AND BEST. Your evil necro black metallers are all bad Kiss cover bands.
I especially like it when black metallers tell you it ISNT makeup, its corpse paint. Taken from the Day Of The Dead in Mexico. Yeah, looking like Grim Fandango is evil, YOU MORONS. Pull another frowny face why dont you. At least Abbath had the balls to admit that they do it for the theatrical aspect and not because they think they are Lucifers fourth cousin, second removed on their aunts side.

PURE, GRIM AND NECRO BLACK METAL!

4. The bands that go on and on about how they are nihilists and hateful, and dont want their music to be accessible to the masses. Yet have a website that ANYONE IN THE WORLD CAN VISIT AND CHECK OUT THEIR SAMPLES. Poser bitches.

5. The whole anti christian think. Its PATHETIC. They pick the absolute WEAKEST religion out there to pick on. Black metallers are whiny little poser bitches who dont have the balls to pick on anything other than the weakest ideology out there.
Know why theres never been a black metal album about how much the Muslim religion sucks? Because they would be tracked down and killed by some extremist, they know it, I know it, so they stick to christianty because the people into that are always forgiving, easily scared and stupid.

6. They frown all the time. ALL THE TIME. Its like they know that after every single photo they take they will have a pineapple shoved up their ass and thus they can never be truly happy knowing the fate that awaits them after each photo session.

7. If a band sells more than 5000 copies they are automatically mainstream and thus no longer tr00.

8. Mayhem actually have "The true Mayhem" as their logo. Seriously. Are there a bunch of other Mayhems running around out there and they had to let everyone know which is the true one? How do they know they are the true one anyway? It could be one of the other ones. Seems rather self important.

9. They take everything SO seriously. If you dressed up in a mermaid suit, farted on their head and then threw a bucket of piss over one of them, the other people in the band wouldnt even laugh. Thats how serious they are. The sit through The Simpsons and dont laugh. What the hell kind of weird ass moron could do that? The black metal kind. They are just jealous that Krusty The Clown has WAY better corpse paint than they will ever have.

Weakest religion? Easily scared and stupid?
Fuck man, where did that come from.. :confused:
 
Well, I mean that they are always ready to forgive everyone, so no matter how many churches a black metaller burnt down, the christians would always be ready to turn the other cheek and forgive them. Do you think if they went into Israel and burnt down a church there they would survive for longer than about 10 minutes? :)

(I wasnt trying to start a religious debate :) ;) :) )
 
The reason you don't see black metal bands attacking other religions is because Christianity is the dominant religion where most of the bands we know of come from. There are quite a number of black metal bands from Islamic countries like Turkey, Malaysia and the Middle East that are anti-Islamic, but most of them are so underground that even most of the kvlt BMers don't know about them. Most of them have to be impossibly obscure because of their beliefs. Blasphemy in some countries in punishable by death.
 
And as much as I can see the humour in spawn's thread, it must be said that the black metal movement began as very much a legitimate sub-genre but, like any other, has since become a movement overflowing with fakers and trend-followers. I think it was Koich who posted once that he asked some guy in a local BM band why they wore corpse paint, and he said something like "I don't know, we just do."
 
:lol: Thats gold. Whoever that black metal band was has earned my respect for being honest :lol: :headbang:

Exactly my point, you wouldnt see Mayhem run into Israel and preach their beliefs or wherever, because they know they would get their asses kicked. So they stick to civilized places where the religion is weak and they know they can get away with it. Its easy to declare a religion should be abolished when you know it wont fight back because the whole basis of it is a pacifist, forgiving, concillatory doctrine :)
 
I'm not sure if Mayhem's ever been to Israel but I'm pretty sure that they would have their followers there. Mayhem has never been anti-Christian per se. Their ideaology has always been geared against organised religion as a whole, but clearly there are other bands who are vehemently (and specifically) anti-Christian. One of the main problems with black metal is that many people who are involved with it believe that ideology is as important as the music (perhaps more so). I've seen arguments elsewhere in which this has come up. Typically, other forms of metal don't conform to a certain ideological model. Grindcore started as a socialist-leaning political movement in the north of England but now it's just another form of music. Thrash and death and everything else though have never been about specific beliefs or lines of thought. Black metal however has always been about its ideologies of anti-religion, right-leaning paganism and misanthropy. So is it a musical movement, or a political/religious one? Sometimes it seems confused about this itself. For a scene that claims to be iconoclastic and nihilistic by its very nature, it has a mythology and hero-system of its own that is bizarre in the extreme.
