It's odd how well-received he is by the black metallers here :confused:

Yeah lets lynch him for being not like us!

I'm not a black metaller, stfu

[QUOTE=FatalEnergy;16123254]Too bad they aren't BM[/QUOTE]

Still, I look at his posts and wish I had the same fervor and idealism as I did when I was 14 years old, like him

[QUOTE=1338 h4x0r;16123082]Vintersorg is cool[/QUOTE]
vocals are ridiculously annoying.
random side thought: Steve Digiorgio and Mr. V seem like an odd pairing imo.

Vintersorg's vocals are elite.

the progressive Vintersorg stuff is absolutely hilarious. Folk side isn't too bad though.

I love the melodic vocals. Same with Myrkgrav, actually.

I just can't get into them it sounds like he tries too hard.

No one can beat Fenriz's melodic vocals \m/ ( >_> )

Might have something to do with how ridiculous Norwegian accents sound to begin with

Vintersorg =/= Norwegian

[QUOTE=pate;16123533]Vintersorg =/= Norwegian[/QUOTE]

Oh my bad

'Vinter' and 'sorg' are both cognates in Norwegian

Swedish accents are equally ridiculous, so the point essentially holds up iaf

In an interview with WITTR

[I][B]You have been labelled somewhat as “hippies” and some might say that playing black metal and those sorts of liberal earth loving ethics might be diametrically in opposition. How do you feel about that? I mean it is obvious you don’t think they are self-exclusionary.[/B][/I]



Hippies? You mean like navel-gazing aficionados of the grateful dead? I hardly think so. I think that most people are so disconnected from a natural existence that anyone who doesn’t see the joy in playing “first person shooters” or dining regularly at pizza hut is a hippie. Frankly, I don’t have much interest in the opinions of urban lay-abouts. Also, it must be noted that radical environmentalism is very much a part of the tradition of the radical right. Even rabidly anti-Semitic NSBM has a strong ecological sensibility, following the Nazi’s explicit and well documented interest in preserving a pastoral, pre-modern Aryan utopia. At the same time, centrists decry organizations such as the ELF, who come from the anarchist tradition, as “fascists” and anti-humanists. Clearly there is a strong link between radical ecology and Black Metal, coming from the perspective of both the extreme right and extreme left. I don’t understand how one could find an earth-centered ethic and Black Metal incompatible – to me, they are one-in-the-same.



If you listen to BM, but you don’t know what phase the moon is in, or what wild flowers are blooming then you have failed. It is shocking to me that one could be seriously interested in Black Metal and not be deeply committed to radical ecology. Is BM supposed to be about concrete high rises, suburbs, television, an easy modern existence with access to 4-tracks and corpse paint from the local hot topic? No! The music is about wild forests, unfettered rivers, nature: furious and vengeful.



Frankly, I think a good portion of Black Metallers haven’t thought too hard about why they are into the music. I remember reading an interview with Garm of Ulver, I think in Michael Moynihan’s “Lords of Chaos”. Garm just couldn’t say enough horrible things about the youthful malcontents who buy the majority of Black Metal records; I tend to agree with him. Black Metal is a fairly easy thing to get into. There is a style, a sound, a set of beliefs – it’s all there to be purchased or downloaded with nary a thought of one’s own needed to get the whole package. There is deep truth underneath the façade of grim posturing, but one needs to search for it.




I think they have a point.

You would have saved a lot of time by simply typing

btw, Galder makes the most ridiculous faces in BM. That is a fact.

lmaooooo

In all seriousness, I agree with the pastoral sentiments that are common in black metal. There again, I agreed before I started to listen to metal at all. Black metal has probably pushed me towards them more, although it's definitely not the only reason.

Same. Its always nice to go back to more natural things, once you consider how artificial almost everything is now.
