Why black metal is STUPID.

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

Actually most black metal bands look more like Vinnie Vincent.

At least they choose good heroes

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Dance with the dead in my dreams....

I think it was Dissension.

It sure was. They keyboardist to be exact.

You mentioned Grim Fandango in your original post, what a great game.

But yeah, I agree with you on almost everything, except I think Satyricon are a fairly ripped band. Angstridden and Mother North are other great songs.

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.

Well from all the interviews, quotes and the fact that Varg was burning christian churches and Euronymous was taking credit for it too, I think its safe to assume Mayhem was *extremely* anti-christian. Just because they have mellowed recently doesnt mean they werent back then. Having fans in Israel means nothing, if they went over there and tried to spout their beliefs in the same way they did in Norway (Church burnings, decrying the christian faith etc.) then they would be beaten and probably shot dead as an example to others! But they dont, because they know thats what will happen. Its selective nihilism! "We are only evil when its safe to be!"

I think you took my post far too seriously

They're both classic b-grade movies.

This man speaks the truth! CROM!

 

[Blitzkrieg]

CROM!

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

I think these bands will feel heartbroken when they find out that Gene & Paul are Jewish.

 

[spawn]

And that Paul is bisexual.

 

[Spiff]

Wow, three topics in the one thread!

* The anti-religious leanings of black metal bands
* Conan the Destroyer
* Kiss

I like where this is headed.

 

[spawn]

Kiss is black metal though so they wouldnt count as being a seperate topic. Corpse paint, fire breathing, Peter "Blast Beat" Criss... The originals, and still the best.

 

[TinMan666]

this is the greatest thing ever posted on an internet message board anywhere.

(except of course for the topic on my board where all the young chicks with big tits nuded up)

 

[Kem]

I'd rather listen to black metal than Cake.

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

Peter "blast beat" Criss HAHAHA!

Paul isn't bisexual. Extremely feminine but not bisexual. I've never heard any accounts from anybody in KISS or involved with KISS that he is. Ace is apparently bi though.

 

[spawn]

Troops, whats it like living in your own little fantasy world where glam is still cool and Paul isnt bisexual?

 

[Goreripper]

I wasn't taking your post seriously Spawn. I never do. I simply felt like prattling on.
