Cradle Of Filth has to be one of most pathetic examples of ‘black metal’ of all time.
I remember an interview with Danni Filth where he described hearing Wolf Eyes for the first time and declared it as “just stupid noise”.
I’d kill for the opportunity to go up to them in the street one day, tap them on the shoulder and say: excuse me…you’re doing it wrong.
What a fuckwit.
I believe the ‘Varg’ treatment would be far more fitting for Dani Filth and co.
Speaking of Varg, word has it he’s working on the new Burzum already since he got out. I can’t wait.

Varg’s been released ?!? That is news to me, but then again I haven’t followed his story since he tried to escape the last time and got extra years added to his sentence.
If you give any money to that murdering neo-Nazi fuckwit you deserve a swift kick in the nuts.
the conversation here at one time pointed in a certain direction of blackness. it was supposed to be funny, but maybe there are those out there who can’t take a joke. what do i know. keep up with the good work voidhead! (watching naked gun 33/3 currently).
Ooooohhh… I get it, I get jokes! [laugh]
hahaha…
Oh and to the post above about the “broooootal metal” of acts such as roadrunner bands etc… I don’t think it’s a bad thing some acts want to make harder music,but not go to the extreme of black metal acts… they want some less earache inducing stuff out there.
I get the point about the fans though, declaring it as the heavist thing EVER when really it is no-where near.
Re: some earlier points about death metal vocals (I dont know,death black, whatever the piggy/froggy ones), I get that it might be physically taxing and near impossible for a lot of people to do…doensn’t mean that its any good though (to me, if you dig it good for you).
Re: last post about Burzum - I think I heard a few tracks years back, didn’t dig it either… but agree - if you are into the music, download it, don’t give money to Varg.
Eh…suppose it’s in the same vein as giving Manson $$ to shoot up his nose - but thats still better than giving him $ to buy petrol to burn down a church with.

I never really got into black metal but I really like a couple of songs from this band Judas Iscariot, an older U.S. black metal act. I was kind of surprised they were categorized as black metal because this didn’t sound like what I had heard in the genre before.

uhhh, you’re joking about H.I.M…right?
And Mortiis.
Mortiis was in Emperor for about 5 minutes, but nothing he’s done for the past 20ish years has been black metal.

brilliant
H.I.M. is black metal majesty at its finest. All the hardasses are afraid to embrace it because the crushing beats and buzzsaw guitar attacks are enhanced by the voice of an angel, Ville Valo. But most people slag H.I.M. because they know that they can never attain the musicianship and sheer power of this juggernaut of symphonic black metal emotion.
Nifelheim is full-on devastation, but H.I.M. is darker and more sinister in that they actually make evil sexy.
Every true black metal fan knows this, but most will deny it anyway.
Enough with the jokes Gunnar
I would never joke about the awesomeness of H.I.M.
This thread his home to some of the worst jokes I’ve ever come across.
Here’s something funny:
talking to Kriss Hades, and he was telling me how he was at a gig and the chaps from Cradle of Filth were going around saying they were going to ‘smash’ all the members of Sadistik Exekution. Eventually, the drummer, Nick Barker, goes up to Kriss and his friends and sez ‘any of you guys know where the fuck these Sadistik Exekution cunts are hanging?’.
To which Kriss replies…
‘I dunno, but I’ll help ya look for them!’. So off they went. Scouring the club for all the members of Sadistik Exekution. Asking everyone in the place, ‘have you seen those fuckheads from Sad Ex’, and Kriss was particularly enthusiastic, saying ‘we’ll fucking murder them, they’re all fucked!’.
Eventually, someone laughed in Nick’s face and he realised he’d been had. Looked at Kriss and said ‘well… you got me there. Fuck’ and was a sport about it. No bashings ensued. Instead, Nick and Dani Filth ended up doing the number on each other.
[reply]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.[/reply]
“Lords of Chaos” is great. Lots of cool stuff in that book and very accessible for both the hardcore scenester fan or the outside curious spectator.
And Mortiis.
Mortiis was in Emperor for about 5 minutes, but nothing he’s done for the past 20ish years has been black metal.
This is the most amazing album cover ever created and anyone that doesn’t agree is wrong.
This thread his home to some of the worst jokes I’ve ever come across.
Jokes? Dude, the scene is made up entirely of porcupines and pandas, competing in a weird gay rights festival contest to see who can wear the most spikes and makeup and create the most unlistenable music ever. I don’t think there’s any jokes we can make that top what’s being sold to the kiddies as pre-packaged musical evil.
Alot of fantastic black metal coming out of San Francisco at the moment.
Yeah, well. That would make sense. I mean, they look like a bunch of creepy S&M leather daddy homos.
All that being said, I ADORE the scene. I used to spend hours on end reading all the interviews in “Pit” or “Terrorizer” magazine and rolling on the floor laughing my ass off. I also used to spend an uncountable amount of time searching the 'net for more classic black metal photos.

Alright,
I’ll be blunt,
your HIM jokes were unfunny and tiresome the first 10 times you posted them. Stop.
Who the fuck is H.I.M??
