Who the fuck is H.I.M??
Is it this HIM?
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?’.
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.
I saw Cradle Of Filth in the states at some MetalFest type thingy back in about '93 when they were just ‘taking off’.
They were pathetic. Dani Filth actually took a 5 minute break at one stage to gargle and fix his hair. Then he took offence at some guy who called him an “English sissy fag” and he stormed off stage. Much to the howls of delight from the crowd.
The band themselves took one look at the rowdy punk/metal crowd and shat themselves. I’m not kidding when I say that they looked like employees at one of them Dracula themed pantomime restaurants. They’d be more at home at an Iron Maiden covers band gig. Or doing children’s parties.
And H.I.M is pathetic btw.
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.
Alright,
I’ll be blunt,
your HIM jokes were unfunny and tiresome the first 10 times you posted them. Stop.
Who died and made you boss of the interwebz? I told you before that I do not appreciate having my love for HIM being referred to as a joke. You’ve only posted about 300 mandroolings for this Reverend Kris Hades guy (I finally looked up who he was – whoopdie do!). How come you get to be gay for blackety black spikey spiked dudes and I don’t?
Fascist.

I would disagree with the covers band part. I’ve only heard a few CoF songs, but I stumbled across their cover of “Hallowed Be Thy Name” and it was pure crap.
Dani has always cracked me up. They try so hard to be evil and offensive and in your face, but he looks like the short chubby kid that always got picked on at school.
Apparently, he still is.

LMAO!!!??! [:P]
Derail!
Seeing Watain tonight. Recently got into them through their latest album and have been digging backwards. Solid riffs and songwriting.
I almost forgot about these guys . . . .
Behold! The unholy brutal blackhearted devastation of THORNSPAWN!!!

Maybe that’s because I’m booking and playing gigs with them.
RE: Hades… yeah, I probably should shut up about that now. Only reason I mentioned it was… thread about black metal… Cradle of Filth… Dani Filth… Kriss told me something funny about them… I posted it here.
Besides, I should mention about ‘being gay for black metal dudes’… I think a lot of that shit is hilarious. As do a lot of perceived ‘metalheads’. It’s just that… you said the joke once about HIM. I got it. We all read it. We all understood it. Then again… and again… and again…
I don’t know what’s worse tho.
Posting my 300-odd mandroolings (guilty as charged), or your 300-odd photos of you doing pointless crap.
Unless it’s a photo of you having sex with a reindeer while your elderly father whips you with a sock full of chicken fat, I doubt few of us here are interested.
R… r… right guys?

You’d hate to be in Anaal Nathrakh or the Axis of Perdition, wouldn’t you?
Making quality black metal out of the UK.
And then these cunts from the same nation ruin any potential credibility for you. It’s funny how a lot of bands from there are written off coz of CoF.

FUCK YES!
They’re one of my favourite bands. I got in touch with those guys years back when my old band got signed to the same label, we were going to trade some stuff, but it never eventuated since they moved onto a bigger and better label and we folded and dropped off the radar when my bandmate had a nervous breakdown. Sworn to the Dark was a fucking great album, latest is top notch too. Wish they’d come to Australia.
OK, fine. I’ll be serious for a minute.
I love the silliness of all music. That’s what makes stuff fun. The reason I’ve always had an extra special fondness for the ridiculousness of black metal is because many of them just take themselves so seriously and, despite the fact that they’ve got on clown makeup and 100 lbs of carpentry nails, can’t laugh. This, to me, makes it 1000 times funnier. I love telling Black Metal kids (or any metal kids) how awesome HIM is because they come unglued (I get death threats on some of my online accounts, hahahaha!!!)
I’m not into the vast majority of the music, but there is some that will occasionally connect with me. Not on any sort of ideological or spiritual level but simply because it rocks. SATYRICON is a good example of this. And my friend sent me some links the other day for this solo offshoot of one of the Emperor dudes that was really cool (all instrumental and pretty down and dark - I’ll try to remember what it was).
On the other hand, I think everytime I think I like a black metal band/song, there’s a bunch of people waiting to tell me how it’s not actually black metal because of this or that.

Totally with ya there mate.
Sorry to bring him up again… but you, me and Kriss Hades, someone who’s meant to have been ‘influential’ on that scene, laugh our arses off at those morons.
They miss the real point and how even the bands themselves are taking the piss from time to time.
The real point? Pretty much to play fucked up music super fast. That’s basically it. Bands like Watain and Funeral Mist with the philosophical bent are admittedly pretty interesting, but at the end of it, it’s just about a demented form of self expression, and shock horror, a bit of fun.
But, just as much as I find people who take it way too seriously annoying, I find people constantly taking the piss and making the jokes about it annoying… not because it’s ‘pissing on my scene’ or whatever, but coz it’s repetitive and always the same thing I expect to hear them say.
If they said something like
Q. What’s black, white and red all over?
A. A black metal band in a tour bus crash
I’d certainly giggle [laugh]
Jupitreas: nice link there… Portal are one of those bands everyone in Australia is goin mad for, but I never got into them for some reason. Couldn’t never enjoy it, something just didn’t grab me about it. I like the idea with the production and it’s definitely influenced by Blut Aus Nord, which I fucking love, but my fave Aussie ‘black metal’ bands are Destroyer 666 and Gospel of the Horns. Funnily enough, they don’t sound all that much like black metal, given they’ve just got some good stock standard rock riffs you can nod yer head to, just with screeching over the top of it.
I used to listen to these guys a lot too.
DISSECTION
I’ve always liked Samael okay too.
^
That’s kind of cool. I always have to be cautious with the Japanese bands, though. I’ll sometimes think, “Hey, she’s kind of cute”, only to find out that it’s just a really fancy lookin’ fella.
In this case, though, I actually thought they were dude (except for the drummer). The drummer, by the way, is more lifeless than Joey Jordison on the RGB tour.
Dissection are fucking GREAT
Sadly, another example of guys that took emselves way too seriously. Andreas from Satanic Propaganda Records told me that as much as Jon was a nice guy, he was as much a follower as he was ‘followed’… hooked up with some church of satan cult leader bullshit and pretty much did whatever the guy told him too. Well, at least it seemed to him like he was being manipulated. Then he blew his brains out. For satan. [laugh]
GallHammer-
one of the chicks is screwing Maniac from Mayhem.
They’re all hot and insane.
I would marry any one of them.
But I wouldn’t let them near instruments. The drummer is an example of why women generally cannot drum. Well, 90% of them. She’s totally terrible.
Like my friend’s band, Sanguinary Misanthropia. They have a female drummer. She is truly awful.
BUT:
Did anyone catch this controversy in Australia they were involved in…

I never knew any of the backstory of Jon’s suicide, but that’s pretty sad if he got caught up in that stuff to such an extent. I wasn’t really following their works up to that point. I bought “Storm of the Light’s Bane” when it came out and thought it was great.
As for Maniac getting with the Gallhammer chick . . . he probably thought she was a dude.
HAHAHA!!!

Did anyone get to see the little documentary “Until The Light Takes Us”?
The end segment is really great. The movie makers are following Ghaal (Gorgoroth) up this frozen snow covered mountain in the middle of freezing, snowing Norway and no one knows why. They’re all frostbitten and pissed off and it’s sort of like “Blair Witch” when they are losing their patience and getting snappy at each other. They soldier on to the top of the friggin’ mountain where they finally find this old shack that Ghaal’s grandpa built. You can tell the camera guy is just about ready to kill himself. It’s pretty funny. A decent little film, actually, for anyone that’s into or interested in the scene.
Negura Bunget.
Google them.
