also look at The Year Of Our Lord. They were trying to be black metal for at least the first album.

and it's way better than a lot of other BM out there in that it doesn't sound like Norweigan kids in face paint whining about the loss of Nordic Tradition.

EDIT: Also, my point is not "I don't like black metal", cause some of it is really great. My point is that it is, on the whole, very homogenous. As far as any music, the more "copy of a copy of a copy" it gets, sometimes it wears on my ears. Like bands that rip off Metallica or Staind and shit. Even with Hardcore, if one more band sounds like Slapshot, Panic, or Bury Your Dead I will cry. And for punk, fucking half those kids need to shut the fuck up and try and do something new.

This isn't saying there is no room for tradition!!!! keep that in mind. there IS plenty for room for doing the same thing that has already been done but with your own spin or own thoughts put into it. BUT, I think when it's clear all you want is to be in a band so someone will say "OHHH YOU GUYS ARE A (GENRE) BAND!" then it feels almost weak...you know, like a band that really is just cashing in on a person's love of hearing "black metal" or "hardcore". You should write music that means something to you, and if it ends up being hardcore or metal or punk and you use that medium to get your point out, great. If you start a punk band and then want it to be punk and write punk songs to be punk, it gets empty.

Maybe that is the spirit of Black Metal: Nihilism; I don't know for certain. But if you're so Nihlisitic, why isn't the music more chaotic?

I would never write a rant about this out of nowhere, I am simply saying Varg isn't making much sense by saying BM is about individuality...
