I love Bloodbath 
|
| |
Lol at little bitches.
|
| |
Umm...that's really childish...
|
| |
lol at the fact they lost a fan due to t-shirt content.
seriously? what were you really hoping for buddy?
i have never heard this band before, and prolly for good reason. there's way too much crappy death metal out there.
this band even looks faggy. i mean really? sunglasses in your bio pic? what decade are we in?
|
| |
lol @ band trying to create controversy to sell bad t-shirts
|

Regulator has authority on death metal because he likes The Black Dahlia Murder.
|
| |
I dig that soft vintage look and feel.
|
| |
Getting shirt.
|
| |
hey Atavan, wasnt someone arrested for a Marduk "Fuck Me Jesus" shirt in Australia a while back?
|
| |
hahah Balls to the Wall I haven't laughed that hard in awhile.
As far as Bloodbath goes, I mean they were founded to just play some good death metal. I really doubt they're trying to push any boundaries here, even if it may seem as such. I don't know, just my thoughts on them.
|
| |
lol @ band trying to create controversy to sell bad t-shirts
First of all, I highly doubt they were trying to create all this controversy. This kinda shirt is standard stuff for death/black metal.
Secondly, if you're offended by anti-religion material you're listening to the wrong ****ing genre of music.
this band even looks faggy. i mean really? sunglasses in your bio pic? what decade are we in?
Wtf are you talking about? When did sunglasses ever go out of style?
|
| |
That's some controversial controversy you got there.
Bad taste aside, it's lame that the band is bragging about thier "over the top merchandise".
I don't care wether someone believes in jesus christ or not, it's low and moronic to make a mockery of peoples beliefs like that, wether it's christianity, catholicsm, buddhism, or whatever
|
| |
Except this is pretty much a given for a death metal band, so, I'm suprised people are only just getting worked up now
|
| |

How exactly are they bragging?
|
| |
Have you even seen the shirt? It's obvious that they're desperate for attention and the easiest way to get it is to take this "controversy", make it public, then unveil an even uglier, more "offensive" shirt. They're not bragging per se but they're clearly going out and saying "if you thought that was bad check out our new shirt ON SALE NOW!!"

^ Dude, I work at a ****ing Christian store. You don't have a clue what you are talking about. I accept all things. Nothing really offends me. When have I ever outright bashed any religion here?
|

Forget facts, black metal just destroys one of the world's oldest religions with 20 years of music.
Awesome, so you're an expert on the hip-hop community AND black metal!

I take it back. Your idiocy offends me. BTW in case you were implying that I work at somewhere like Wal-Mart, you're dead wrong.

Can't we just get back to the point here? This has nothing to do with someguest's intelligence level or Eak's feeling towards any religion. This is about fan that if you ask me went over the edge. It's just a shirt if you ask me. The shirt was something the band was for and the fan was for the band but not the shirt? That's a bit twisted isn't it? Eak my last line is this. What worker of a Christian store says words like ****ing or for that matter ins't a Christian themselves?

And when did I argue this? If anything you were the one who seemed surprised by their attempt to stir up controversy purely to drive up profits and attention.

I'm not a Christian. When did I ever say I was? You need to not assume things. I said that I accept all beliefs and nobody's beliefs offend me. That's the way it should be. Just as "swear" words are just words and it shouldn't affect anyone differently depending on whether I say crap or shit. Same thing. Also, just because I work at a Christian store doesn't make me some goody two-shoes tightass. It's just a ****ing job to me. I needed a part-time job while I go to school full-time and that was available.
And when did I argue this? If anything you were the one who seemed surprised by their attempt to stir up controversy purely to drive up profits and attention.
How did I seem surprised? I actually said that this is pretty standard and expected for a death metal band and everyone's getting worked up over nothing. I don't know how that makes me sound surprised.This Message Edited On 12.04.08

No one technically asked me my opinion but these fans aren't totally sane. They listen to these guys knowing exactly what they are and what they stand for yet they get offended by something that is a death/black metal basis. Forget the fact that none of these fans are necessarily Christians or any form of a Christ based religion. They back a band with Anti-Christ viewpoints yet are offended when those opinions are expressed? I haven't listened to Bloodbath but I'm taking a stab and saying it's safe to say even without these shirts somewhere in their music it stated a hate for God or Christ or something along that basis. I can't find the post that said that this t-shirt was made to cause controversy and make a profit off of it but excuse me. Isn't the point of a band t-shirt or any piece of merchandise for that matter supposed to bring a profit?

When did I ever accuse you of this? I did not assume anything either. I did not say you where a Christian. I did say most people

I'm here to make a point. When I feel people are being stupid or are simply incorrect, I call them out on it. Speculate all you want on my intentions. I have better things to do than simply argue. Still, you made the idiotic statement "What worker of a Christian store wouldn't be Christian themselves?" That has nothing to do with it. It's a job. It pays. I work there. There are no religious requirements to work anywhere.
Well aware. It was for dramatic effect. We can obviously tell no one has to ask for an opinion. We're all getting plenty of opinion from you.
Now, you're just being a jackass. If you don't want to read my opinions then get out of the damn forum or ignore me. This is the internet in case you weren't aware after the first time I mentioned it.

Eak you have me saying it was an idiotic statement. Worded better and it would have not been so. Not saying that a non-Christian can't get a job at Christian store but I'm sure a lil' I Love Jesus can't hurt on an application. I'll give you that you may be the 1 in 1,000,000 that is not a Christian at Christian store. However you said
I'm here to make a point. When I feel people are being stupid or are simply incorrect, I call them out on it.
This leads me to believe that you think yourself of a higher intellect then all. For all I've seen is you've argued every opinion you've been handed. Not once have I seen you admit defeat, give a little touche, or give someone the benefit of the doubt. Now having said that, don't hold me to it because I don't have time to read all of your nearly 1,800 posts to find one that would make me incorrect. I'm just giving you tendencies again and not COLD HARD FACTS.

I'm a pastor for a church and practice atheism.
A church doesn't have to be any form of Christianity or God-based religion. A Church is a place of worship. Atheism is a religion and therefore you could be an Atheistic pastor.

I never said I was of higher intellect. Everyone says stupid things. That doesn't make them stupid. Why would I "admit defeat" if I don't feel that I am wrong? I guess I should tell everybody I'm wrong so everyone will stop complaining about my simple opinions that seem to have exploded into this huge debate. Also, keep the implicit insults to yourself with the whole 1800 posts comment.

Who would come out and say they are of a higher intellect if they had any sense about them whatsoever? Also, everyone does say stupid things, that includes you (not saying this excludes me either). If you've known you've said something stupid and are wrong why would you not admit that to prove you have intelligence about you? How is noting you have 1,800 posts an insult? That's a ridiculous statement of you. That was a fact.

No need to point out the obvious, which you keep doing. My post was saying that everyone says stupid things and that implied that I do as well because everyone does include me. If I have said something I feel is wrong or stupid, I will admit to it. As for this discussion, I don't feel I have said anything wrong or stupid. Simply truthful.
This isn't anything new for death metal. True. Advertising merchandise isn't any surprise. True. People should accept others beliefs. True. Sunglasses have never gone out of style. True.
It's sad how now Eak you are arguing the fact of what a Church is because you want to be right about everything.

And about the Church, no idea. I don't even understand what I meant there. Idiocy in it's purest. But prior to that, what we we're discussing. I have found I have mistaken a few points you had noted and for that I admit I was incorrect (as I should), and I also feel ever so moronic at this point. This has proven to me my brain is dysfunctional at 1:27 a.m. and I need to get rest before I try to make any comment on any subject furthermore.

Hey that's what time it is for me as well. Good thing I don't have morning hours for work.
BTW, no hard feelings hopefully. I just get worked up when people like someguest assail my character for no apparent reason at all, which happens quite a bit here. I somehow always get labeled the ass**** though when I never start the petty arguments and insults in the first place.
Atheism isn't a religion.
You clearly understood what I was pointing out but had to expand my vagueness to qualify what I said to establish your own agenda.
Ah, but you fail to realize that you could potentially have a cult of atheists that decided to form a church of their own and get a preacher. This Message Edited On 12.05.08

i love when shit like this happens, because it reveals both sides (the hardline anti-christian satanists AND the hardline christians) to be a right bunch of daft cunts.
first of all, it's fucking childish to make t-shirts like that, as people are only gonna buy them to piss people off. if you really hate christianity, tell us through some intelligent lyrics on the matter, not a t-shirt.
and secondly, there's always gonna be christians who'll rise to the bait, have a good old moan, and thus give these t-shirts more attention/controversy, rather than just ignoring them.
|
| |
The t-shirt is really fucking stupid, but if the fans of the band didn't already know how anti-christian they were, they're either
A)stupid and ignorant
B)know about it and care more about the music than the lyrics
|
| |
freedom of religion
freedom of speech
i think that virtually explains my opinion on this matter
if you're wearing an "offensive" shirt, you have to be ready to discuss your statement
the people that whine about your shirt have the right to do that
(i personally love bloodbath and i am not christian, i could be a person wearing shirts like that, but some friends of mine are christian and they don't like the fact that i wear those.
but after all, some christians wear shirt with "jesus is my homeboy" or " i love boys who love jesus"
i don't like them wearing those shirts but i'm still friends with them)
btw sorry for my lack in english skills for that matter
|
| |
all it says is that the band ran out of creative ideas for their t-shirt design ...and hence had to do the mocking cross shit that has been done by infinite number of bands ...
|
| |
I'm not religious, nor do I hate religious people. I like bloodbath, I like the song 'Mock the Cross' and I think its a moderately cool t-shirt. If I bought one i'm not buying it to offend anyone, I just like the shirt and the band.
Really, I fail to see what all the fuss is about...
|
| |
It's not that great of a shirt. Also when I looked at it, I pictured a more graphic shirt than that, it wasn't too bad...
I wouldn't want to go walking down the street with it on though
|
| |
That made me giggle. I was listening to The Cars, but instantly switched to Fathomless Mastery after reading this.
Ok, but two things I want to get out the way...
A: It's a shirt for a band... a metal band... bands promote themselves... Subject matter is subject matter. I believe Slayer and The Jackson 5 both used subject matter (possible trend in modern music?).
B: My Sweet Saviour, Sputnik ****s can be such ****s
wow regulator you are pretty ignorant of death metal hmmm... must be more into Jackson 5 I guess.
|

Bloodbath is essentially a joke band with no punchline. even so, and even if this whole thing is just a publicity stunt(which it does seem to be), whiny bitches are even worse than stupid bands. like Eak said, if you can't handle that kind of imagery/lyricism, why would you bother with a genre that was born from such things? intelligent and productive Christians will be aware enough that they choose not to waste their time with something that is in direct opposition to their own beliefs - but Christfags, i.e. the dumb and empty Christians, will keep trying to 'branch out' into places they're unwanted and will cry when they find out you can't have your cake and eat it too. so let them whine; it's all they CAN do about it.
gang-banging Eak for stating the obvious just creates pointless arguments about who meant what. even if he is arrogant, that doesn't make him *wrong*. deal with the statements themselves, not what you assume his motivations behind them might be
but after all, some christians wear shirt with... " i love boys who love jesus"
i don't like them wearing those shirts but i'm still friends with them
are your friends Catholic priests?
|
| |
Since when is Bloodbath the only band that provides disturbing imagery on shirts? Brutal Death Metal band Guttural Secrete has a shirt w/ a female bound & gagged getting raped. No one ever stopped that from getting released and I think that is more messed up than any anti-christ theme, no matter how graphic it may be.
I could see why some (religious) fans of Bloodbath may be displeased, but come on... dont buy the damn shirt then...
|
| |
WTF?!? I just looked at the actual shirt on the website after I posted my last comment and I would have to say that is a lame ass design... How could someone get upset over that, it looks like a freaking childs cartoon...
|
| |
I think if the band were trying to make a serious point about Christianity the shirt's design would be of much better quality. The fact that it looks like it was stolen from a Dimmu Borgir fan's Deviant Art pretty much proves that this is nothing but a pathetic publicity stunt.
|
| |
You're right Eak. No Hard Feelings. I was out of line and we both realized that.
Freedom of expression, are we not allowed to do that? Christains can do it, why can't anti-christains do it?
This guy has a point. When a Christian makes a statement on the news it's always seen as "oh well they're a Christian so it's alright." However that same statement made by an Atheist or even for that matter a Satanist would be ridiculed and they'd be labeled as the Anti-Christ themselves.

If the band were just trying to create controversy with the t-shirts, then they're pretty much idiots, but anyone who takes something as stupid as that seriously enough to discontinue printing the t-shirts or stop listening to them is at least equally stupid.

That's a freakin' hilarious shirt. I kinda want one just for the hell of it.
|

It's like these fans didn't realize they had the songs "Mock The Cross," "Blasting the Virginborn," and "Sick Salvation" until they made these shirts.
|
| |
I think stopping the production of the shirt is a little rediculous but that is the right of the printer to do that, its business. Its a shame people are using this name to point fingers and take shot at peoples belief systems though
|
| |
the shirt is just goofy.
i'm buying one just cuz it brings the lolz.
lol at chrisitians and death metal not gettin along
|
| |
Not gonna get too into this cause the thread is spiralling into retardism, but for Bloodbath to think they wouldn't alienate some fans with this lame shirt because they're a death metal band makes me feel sad for the rest of (good) death metal.
|
| |
Doesnt anyone see that this is just funny? Shirt is killer and i think i might get one.
|
| |
I think christains just want publicity because everyone forgot about their god...
|

I don't really wear band shirts anymore (especially metal), but I am going to buy both of these shirts.

I'm a Christian myself, was brought up one with a strong Christian mother, and I even go to church occasionally still today. But you guys have to remember this is all for entertainment purposes... I love Bloodbath, I listened to them today on the way home from work. Maybe I don't care for the shirt, but then I just won't wear it... Whats the big fuckin deal...
|

I'm a Christian and I'm not at all offended by bands doing this. They aren't serious about it right? I mean except Deicide and a few other bands.
|

wow idiot fans need to realize that not everybody is a jesus/religion freak. "omg you guys have a different opinion than mine i can't listen to your music!"
that being said, shirt/band are lame.
|
| |
If you are a mega-Christian...why are you listening to death metal anyway?
lol this is a really dumb statement
anyway, coming from a christian myself, im somewhat offended by the picture, but at the other hand i really dont care. They can print whatever they want.
Objectively, the image is still really stupid and attention seeking in the first place. Shame akerfeldt is associated with this shit band.

The Cradle of Filth masturbating topless nun is way better/controversial of a shirt than this.
Jesus Christ, God reincarnate.

I'm sure they all high-fived each other about how brutal that was.

That demon vomiting on jesus looked pretty fucking retarded
|

you're all acting like little pre-teens.
atheism isn't a religion, it is the antithesis of religion. "a" "theism" means the lack of theism which means that they do not believe in a higher power. if a group of atheists were to get together with a "pastor" and hold services (which wouldn't be 'worship' services seeing as they have nothing to worship) they would simply be a self-help or lecturing group. did the people's temple practice religion or just try to usher in a new world order?
The shirt is laffable, and both sides come off like assholes. And eak why would you work at a christian store if you weren't christian? this is a serious question... what would make you want to put up with all those types of people unless you're one of them? it seems painful

No offense but I think this is a stupid stupid question. It's just a job. It's not like people preach to me or try to convert me. Also, most of the people I work with know that I'm not a christian. Guess what? They don't care. It's not a big deal. It may be a Christian store, but that doesn't mean everyone is some overzealous tightass trying to convert me. Call me a hypocrite if you want, but I'm all about not being a dickhead who downs others for their beliefs. That's all it is. Simply a belief. We don't live in the era of the Crusades anymore.
|

Tbh, I don't think the shirt's that bad. I'd get one if I could afford it. I personally like the Iesous shirt more, but I don't see the problem. I like the concept.
|

i lol at the idea that christians don't swear which came up on this forum. i have a good friend who's christian and swears like a bitch. i think his favourite word is cunt
|
| |
I'm completely of the same belief eak, i don't think you should down people for their beliefs. But through my experience with christian stores and being pedaled their merchandise people do seem overzealous
|

This guy has a point. When a Christian makes a statement on the news it's always seen as "oh well they're a Christian so it's alright." However that same statement made by an Atheist or even for that matter a Satanist would be ridiculed and they'd be labeled as the Anti-Christ themselves.
The difference is that this shirt is purposely making an offensive statement. Most of those Christian t-shirts are honestly not trying to be offensive. Almost everybody hates the "God hates fags" preacher because his message is offensive, and a shirt that says "God hates fags" would be just as bad as Bloodbath's shirt.
|
| |
Haha, you guys are morons. :P
That said though, that has to be one of the most complete Merch Shops on site for a band, lol.
There obviously is some pride there.

When did the metal community become such giant pussies? And I'm not just talking about the idiots referred to in the message from Bloodbath proper, I mean the responses here.
"Wahhh, it's so immature to offend people with blasphemous imagery!" Fucking spare me. What's the point of being metal if you don't get to piss people off? And given the kind of conversations that go on around here, how can anyone in the community be offended by anything anymore?
The difference is that this shirt is purposely making an offensive statement.
No shit. But the day that metal bands start putting puppies and smiling flowers on their T-shirts is the day they start trying too hard to be ironic, which is the day they all become hipsters, which is the day I will hang up my metal mantle forever in shame and become a Viking.
And comparing Bloodbath's shirt to "God hates fags" doesn't really work. Bloodbath are not conspiring to actually harm anyone. At least, not that we know of. On the other hand, my brother once spotted a plaque in a Christian establishment that read as follows:
He
Intends
Victory
And this is somehow better than a Celtic Frost album cover because it's not consciously trying to hurt people's feelings? Are you kidding me?
There's a very distinct difference between that which is spooky and that which is creepy, and most people would do well to learn what that is before they open their mouths.This Message Edited On 12.07.08

The thing about the store I work at is that most people don't even realize it's a christian store. Every time I tell one of my friends that it's a christian store they say they didn't even know that. They don't really pedal ridiculous christian merch, though. It's mainly just an arts and crafts store. I just frame pictures there. Sure, I get some ridiculous religious stuff to frame (not just christian stuff, I get stuff from all religions), but most of what I've had to frame lately has been Obama.

No shit. But the day that metal bands start putting puppies and smiling flowers on their T-shirts is the day they start trying too hard to be ironic, which is the day they all become hipsters, which is the day I will hang up my metal mantle forever in shame and become a Viking.
And comparing Bloodbath's shirt to "God hates fags" doesn't really work. Bloodbath are not conspiring to actually harm anyone. At least, not that we know of.
I'm not comparing Bloodbath's shirt to it. Someone said it was strange that people get worked up about this stuff and not Christian t-shirts, and I was pointing out the difference :/
People on the internet get mad and rant over nothing.

Well, it's childish way to express something really interesting... I won't wear that t-shirt, but it's because of I don't like new BloodBath CD too much.

The t-shirts aren't really that stupid. In all honestly they're probably doing to for the lulz. Pissing people off is so fun and easy. Also lol@wall of text argument.

Touche.

I would. If I could do this, I'd basically never stop.

A thing Steerpike said echoed my thoughts after I walked away from this article and thought about it a bit more.
The issue I have with this shirt is, like others have said, it just isn't a high form of an insult.
But take the Celtic Frost cover -- I find that hilarious. In fact, I have it on a T-shirt. That to me is "Mocking" the cross. Vomiting on it seems more like a rock bottom attempt to spur controversy.
Then again, it's not like this hasn't been done before.
I didn't know Bloodbath was like this now, though. I only have the first two CDs. I liked those CDs for holding in good parts of the genre while discarding a lot of the things which have made me roll my eyes.
Then again, there are two kinds of fans, I think. Those that will be impressed by this, and those that will be indifferent. I believe anyone who is that deeply upset is simply confused.

Let me say these few things

Are you ridiculous? Welcome to forums.

Okay honestly, how old are you? 'They do it for the lulz'? C'mon this isn't 1) a Video Game, 2) 5th Grade, or 3) A Pokemon Trading Card Festival.
Lastly, if you don't like the FORUM then stay off of it. You're obviously not discussing or arguing (an opinion and not being a lunatic), you're just being plain and simply confrontational.
