Indeed, I was going to add that the parodies that came about due to Immortal's whole "grim and frostbitten" approach were never funny either.

It was amusing when the bands themselves did it; not when other people decided to attempt to parody it.

Shitty joke bands aside, the only people I ever see using those terms are the kiddies thinking they're clever and funny. What bands are you talking about?

I meant that when Immortal were running around in the woods, wearing corpse paint in the daylight and shrieking about Wintermoons, it was quite amusing.

When everyone attempted to parody that sort of stuff, it wasn't.

etc.

How are Wolves In The Throne Room pretentious?

I think their music is some of the most honest and true black metal I've heard. Not including the classic stuff obviously.

:lol:

I'm sure they're talking about everything but their music.

No, their music is included in that statement im sure.

Because they live on a farm? How is that pretentious?

Yeah. The music itself is clearly "true and honest black metal".

Did I call them pretentious for living on a farm?

"Our relationship with the natural world is a healing force in our lives. If you listen to Black Metal, but you dont know what phase the moon is in, or what wild flowers are blooming than you have failed. The music is about wild forests, unfettered rivers, nature: furious and vengeful."

Okay I agree with you there.

[QUOTE=Luc214;15911592]Because they live on a farm? How is that pretentious?[/QUOTE]

i think it has more to do with the fact that they bring up their PURE NATURAL LIFESTYLE in all interviews

[quote=Deathcrush;15911602]Yeah. The music itself is clearly "true and honest black metal".[/quote]

At least I didn't say Dimmu Borgir you stupid cunt.

"In scores of interviews we have expressed our deep philosophical and spiritual opposition to racism, anti-Semitism, authoritarianism and the glorification of war. We have specifically condemned National Socialism and the bands who explicitly or implicitly endorse these simple-minded and weak ideas."


These people truly are retarded hippie faggots.

I agree with them there.

You're just a simple-minded and weak person.

"Our music is informed by eco-feminism, the idea that the destruction of the natural world is rooted in our culture's hatred of women and feminine energy. It is impossible for us to express the depth of our hatred for misogynistic metal of all stripes. The sad and lonely masturbations of a metal nerd over a Cradle of Filth poster is not so far removed from a middle-aged suburban dad's diet of Howard Stern and Playboy magazine. Both are pathetic fantasies that weaken a natural and healthy relationship between the sexes."


Hahahahahahahahha.

lol if they think guys masturbate to Cradle's posters.

im sure some people do

that really was one of the dumbest things i've heard though

Howard Stern is awesome wtf

yeah and he doesn't "oppress women"

tbh

looooooool

He used to a ton but not much anymore. It's all about the entertainment and listener pull though.

Be a serious Metalhead
Worship the extreme
Baggy Pants, hippie attitudes
pollutes our elite scene
Hold high regards for the devil
Stand on you own feet
Hippie Homo assholes
Slaughtered when we meet



This seems very appropriate right now tbh.

Wasn't it purely an act though?

50/50 I think. He was really pissed over his divorce and worked it all into his show.

Satanism is a reactionary form of Christianity.

Can you think of better modern black metal?

[QUOTE=Luc214;15911782]Can you think of better modern black metal?[/QUOTE]

There's a ton. I mean a [I]ton[/I]. WITTR aren't even near the top 100.

[QUOTE=Luc214;15911782]Can you think of better modern black metal?[/QUOTE]

Christicide is better than WITTR.
