Any big fans here? I’m a relatively newer fan, gaining interest in the past few months and I seem to be on a huge kick right now. I’m listening to Leviathan’s Tentacles of Whorror right now and it’s excellent. Fav black metal albums?
I’m a HUGE fan.
I mean the music sucks but the scene is hilarious.

I’m the same, I have a couple of books about the scene, and am more fascinated with the mindset of some of these guys than any of the actual music. ‘Lords of Chaos’, by former Boyd Rice protege Michael Moynihan, is a good look at the scenes beginnings and the whole Euronymous/Varg Vikernes episode. Lots of good interviews.
Closest i’ve come to “black metal” is old Cradle of Filth and Dimmu. Other than that, they’re all the same. I kinda grew out of that though. And yes, it is a bit amusing.

You’re an idiot.
I liked that Living Colour band.
YES.

<gives two thumbs up>
this is amusing. is there any way to test the blackness of this metal? perhaps carmangary can provide some IT support. what do i know.
don’t really like it, although a friend of mine was the original drummer for Enslaved. plus COF’s guitarist, Paul, is downstairs right now doing some pro tools stuff. gonna try and drag him down the pub later.

Come on Peligro the scene is amazing!
And you gotta admit the music is amazingly pish too. I mean the vocalist ALWAYS sounds like an old witch getting pooned up the bum with a broom-stick. I’ve no idea what the lyrics are about but I’m pretty sure I could take a wild guess.

i think the lyrics are actually about old witches being pooned up the bum with broomsticks.
uhm I looked at the periodic table and apparently Obsidian is the blackest metal on the list.
i believe jimi hendrix has some cachet here. but, what do i know.back to the pages of my own book.

No wonder the vocals sound so passionate.

There’s plenty of great black metal out there to discover - you just have to sift through the trash to get to the gold.
I think you’re being way too dismissive and condescending of a genre that deserves an honest appraisal.
Alot of fantastic black metal coming out of San Francisco at the moment.

Agreed. I have been getting into some Black Metal lately.
Obviously the biggest drawback in this genre is repetition and the one-dimensional themes.
But dismissing the entire genre is foolish regardless. There is always something worthwhile in almost any scene…
Care to name some good Black Metal bands, Peligro?
Vocals!! blech any body can grow incoherently and then make up some death poetry to put in the booklet and claim you’re “singing” that! some of the actual music is very melodic but that "ungry dog growl"just ruins everything!

I agree, the singing kills it for me too. Any good black metal bands that don’t have that constipated demon voice? Or Death Metal for that matter?
