Yeah, I know. It's painful to watch. People have forgotten about MUSIC QUALITY in their desperate bid for BAND EQUALITY, or having us all know their two-chord two-CD-R black metal "project."

They are so afraid of Kings -- big bands that everyone knows -- that they've ensured that no one is gonna rise above the level of being equal and having their own equally obscure, equally novel, flutes, etc. black metal band.

blackmetal.co.uk is the epicenter of this attitude, since it's on Brokeback Island where they really go nuts for the idea that everyone must participate.

It is painful to watch. The average "tr00 kvlt" black metal now is basically Blink 182 on shitty production settings in GarageBand with necro symbols and "outrageous statements" cluttered around it, and it generally sucks. I've really pissed some people off with this statement: "Well, if it's that obscure, it must suck," because they forget that Darkthrone, et al, never wanted to be obscure but were obscure because their music scared normal people at the time.

Nu-black metal will scare no one.

Murph, I'm searching out of the MotA - Quietly now. Thanks for the tip.


seriously. and if you cite Darkthrone or Emperor as an influence, you are slapped with a tr00 kvlt injunction to cease and desist all activities not associated with unpronounceable "we record on a Playskool My First Tape Recorder" Moribund Records bands. not that i have anything against Moribund, but really folks, shitty production isn't innovation when done for scene points.
