Anyone here a fan of Black Metal?

[fateoficarus]

There was a small ring of kids getting into black metal around the time I showed up in 2007, but pretty much everyone left for Seattle

Actually i'm into black metal. Started off with old school (Bathory and Celtic Frost) and do dig Old Man's Child, Satyricon, 1349, etc. Dig blackened crust as well (Iskra, Disflesh, Dishammer). Also, still panning out this variant but found out about the RABM (Red Anarchist Black Metal) movement recently. Been using LastFM to find out which bands are hit or miss with me.

There are some decent RABM bands, but a lot of them are missing the point. I know it's a newer scene, but obviously the whole point of it is to be anti-NSBM movement.

It's really just pissing me off. Some kid up here decided that I'm a "poser" recently because I like both WitTR and Satanic Warmaster, Skagos and Temnozor, Leech and Absurd, etc. etc.

Fuck all of this king of the hill shit. So sick of the Anarchists deciding to take over a scene they disagree with just because "they can".

/steel reserve shit

 

[John Irraka]

Yeah, I've checked out some lyric content for some bands so far. Been 50/50 whether they get the point or not so far.

People toss the word poser all too willy nilly like lately. Even the obvious poser is using the word.

Meh, variation is good. What stops you from not agreeing with a musical movement you don't agree with so you can continue? Not listening to the bands associated with it whatsoever.

 

[fateoficarus]

There's a fine line I think between listening to a band where the lyrics are "patriotic" and mainly about history and culture e.g. Wodensthrone and sporting merchandise for an openly nazi, honestly, pretty shit sounding band e.g. Graveland. There's a lot of kids that get into NSBM more for the image and mystique than really enjoying the sound, and yeah, those kids should be addressed.

My post up there is just... just bad. Glad you guys got the point, though.

More often than not, the kids who get into NSBM for the image have mostly gotten into black metal in general for the image. They have a fun time with their "hail satans", the corpse paint, the Immortal videos and Gaahl worship. They skim the inherent memes and jokes within the scene, then they just use it for novel value. Which, admittedly, is easy to do.

I mean, when most people know of your genre of choice because of a .gif of Abbath counting his tootsie pops, you can only expect the worst.

Oh, you should check out Les Legions Noires.....They're one of the most interesting black metal circles. I'm into a lot of modern black metal.. some of my favorite bands are Morose, Les Discrets, Peste Noire... I really like LLN though, they have some really good ideas/music.

and of course, Burzum

 

[Rancho]

I won't go anywhere that doesn't at least have a good metal scene

[John Irraka]

Digging the tunes there!

Everytime I look up new BM listen to I inadvertently am drawn to the Nordic bands, unless its depressive black metal which is my other fave. There is some quality in there I seem to like...feed off of even. Its all very comforting.
And it can never become too commercial no matter how its marketed which is the best really.

I discovered Emancer recently and they're rather interesting. progressive black metal. I usually dig melodic, semi melodic, old school and a bit of symphonic. Emancer caught my attention with the unique approaches.

Also, Siebenburgen is a decent swedish black metal group. Semi melodic, use of female backing vocals, no keyboards. I heard they went for a bit of a progressive approach with their sound recently. But, haven't been able to track down any albums to confirm or deny the claims.

Burzum was ok before he started making white supremist new age music while in prison. Ive always loved Dissection, last album was just ok but the early shit is insane.

Last I heard from the Burzum camp Varg is trying to distance himself as far from it as possible lately. Given the can of worms he opened it's no wonder!

He managed to do something almost impossible, make music SO bad you're torn as to which is worse, the music or the racism.
