Expect them to get dropped after no one buys this one, either.

metal

metal

of all the things to bump....

Is it just me, or besides MDF, does this sound like a very underwhelming tour for a century media band?

at least they were courteous enough to name their album something that lets people know ahead of time that it's for faggots

You think the original title was guy swallower?

Great band, looking forward to their sophomore release. One of the best metal bands out there right now, and definitely the best and most exciting black metal out of New England.

I generally rank derivative trend hopping hipster black metal as best and most exciting as well. I cannot wait to sodomize myself with whatever is close at hand when I first spin the new disc

Please don't crash your van. It'd be a huge shame.

There are all these trend hopping wanna be Norwegian sounding black metal bands around here but these guys are the real deal with an original sound. New album now please.

and if you absolutely MUST crash, at least have the courtesy to bring some members of godsmack and the dropkick murphys with you.

I feel like all the hipster tr00 kvlt wannabe Norwegian bands in New England aren't as big a thing as they used to be.

[/has apparently never heard the umpteen million doomened faux/post-black nonsense clones plugging up the tubes, lately]

Which aren't, "hipster" bands or "tr00 kvlt and yes I said that complete with air quotes because I want to make sure everybody knows not to take my opinions seriously" bands?

CALL OUT TO ALL LOCAL "HIPSTER"AND 'TROO KVLT" BLACK METAL BANDS: I STRUCK MASS TERROR INTO THE FEARFUL EASILY CONTROLLED MASSES OF NEW ENGLAND, I NEED SOME ICY HYMNS WRITTEN IN MY NAME, SOME SUGGESTED TITLES:
I AM THE BLACK JUNOS
JUNO MOON
AT THE HEART OF JUNO

Diabolical Full Juno Mysticism?

If you have declared a liking for Vattnet Viskar, you've already outed yourself as having no discrimnatory ability taste-wise when it comes to Black Metal. I hope for your sake that it's age induced.

The ones who actually played in Norway and Sweden in the 90's.

There aren't any non-hipster black metal bands in the Northeast. If you're playing black metal, face it, you're a fucking hipster, plain and simple. It's trendy as fuck.

ok

basically true for anywhere in the world these days, with a few exceptions

There's a couple exceptions. None in New England.

In most of U.S. and the world you've got hipster bullshit that gets all the attention. Like Leviathan, Deathspell Omega, Blut Aus Nord, and Inquisition. All the trendy pussies get wet over that garbage. Inquisition is the most trendy hipster bullshit I've ever heard and 99% of the people who post here jerk off to that faggot shit every night.

whether you like them or not, noone can honestly call CNV hipsters.

Leviathan, Inquisition and DSO are pretty much no-care mediocrity.

BAN have been around for decades. The crowd who likes them these days might be full of hipsters, but having hipster fans does not make a band hipster. Noone can control who buys their bands albums.

1. Ok so this is not the 1990's
2. We are not in Norway or Sweden
3. Music evolves
4. Music tastes are subjective

Move along people nothing groundbreaking in this discussion of tired thoughts and views.

You've obviously never heard their records. They were mediocre in the 90's, and they only get worse as they jump on the latest trends. Poser shit through and through, total faggotry. They might as well be Wolves In The Throne Room at this point.

I suppose next you're going to defend Enslaved for their recent trend hopping bullshit as well?

This place is fucking weak, and the knowledge of black metal is pitiful here.

5. Black metal elitists are narrowminded assholes

I'd rather be a narrowminded asshole than a trend hopping hipster like you bunch of pussy faggots.

fixed, idiot

!!!MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!

I know I'm an asshole. I'd rather be an asshole than a hipster trend hopping faggot like you pussies who post about black metal here.


Elitism is what keeps the genre pure. If there was more elitism in black metal there wouldn't be all these hipster bands popping up. True fans would denounce and not support them.


Sadly that isn't the case because true fans are a dying breed.

lol lol lol

Labels and bickering aside, Vattnet Viskar is terrible.

worst post of the century right here

exactly. you don't need to clarify your opinon with 'and everyone who likes them is a hipster.' they suck, who cares what anyone else thinks?

that girls ass is horrifyingly non-existent

I doubt before Inquisition got popular that you would have said that. I'm not a huge fan personally but some of their music is alright. In the 90s, you wouldn't have called them trendy hipster music. I agree that they need more elitism in black metal to avoid hipster sounding bands but the bands you mentioned aren't really hipster bands and don't include hipsters in those bands. You should have named bands like WITTR, Deafheaven, etc. etc

many hipsters listen to Darkthrone and your name is Fenriz would be a good example. Darkthrone's members aren't hipsters but they have hipsters listen to them. Your point seems pretty invalid.

Bands like Vattnet Viskar, WITTR, Deafheaven, Sanhet, shit like that is the stuff people hate. That post sounding rip off garbage with massive delay. Don't include good hardworking bands like DSO, BAN and even Leviathan for that matter in that lineup.

black metal died 20 years ago. move on.

nah black metal in our hearts!

Bands like Vattnet Viskar, Wolves In The Throne Room, Deafhaven and Sanhet are obvious. They have little do with black metal and are basically playing indie rock.

I don't care if a band works hard or how long they have been around. When they dilute down their sound the way Deathspell Omega, Enslaved and Blut Aus Nord have, they're symptomatic of the problem. It's because they start incorporating that indie rock post bullshit that these other bands even exist. Every one of the bands I listed has done that crap and you give them a pass because you can't face the sad fact that you listen to hipster trend jumping pussy bullshit. Say what you want about Darkthrone changing their sound. At least they still play metal and haven't done any of that indie rock poser shit.


And Leviathan is the biggest pile of shit that ever passed for black metal. Total faggot music written by a poser hipster for other poser hipsters. Xasthur is even worse.

/blackmetaldiscussion

Can you explain how BAN or DSO incorporate "indie rock"

because they expanded upon a sound, that makes them indie rock? It sounds nothing of indi rock

they want their opinions on black metal back

ITT: guys in their office break rooms wearing button-up shirts arguing what's true black metal.

so what you are saying is that all the basement dwellers FINALLY got grown up jobs?


PROGRESSIVE BLACK METAL FANS UNITE.

This.

a spade is still a spade.

But has a confident opinion on them.

Some people here have obviously never heard the turd that Deathspell Omega called Kenose. That bullshit might as well be Isis. Total hipster trash.

bennyhillifier

ISIS > most black metal garbage that sounds exactly the same.

if you aren't Venom and call your music black metal, you are a faggot.

and I still don't see any problem with basement-dwelling.

regardless of whether you like it or not, if you think kenose sounds like isis, youve obviously never heard kenose or isis. most likely you just read that on metal injection or some other gay site and decided that it fit in with your "fuck hipster black metal" image enough that you would just go around saying it, because it sounds like it could be a reasonable comparison, right?

The truth is that you're a faggot trying to make excuses for your shit taste in music. Stop projecting, pussy, and admit that you're a trend hopping hipster faggot with shit magnets for ears.

You probably listen to Alcest while you get reach arounds from Aaron Turner.

Edgy thread, kids.

go burn down a church about it mr kvlt.

Been there done that.


You probably listen to Twilight, faggot.

shutup fagget

$5 says this nigger flips his shit when Mom forgets to cut the crust off his PB&J.

for the record I don't listen to any black metal, so while I might be a trend hopping hipster faggot, I will never be as much of a faggot as someone who thinks black metal is still worth defending.

Looks to me that somebody got emotional about fagnet dickbar being called trendy v neck hipster fags, and is now baiting easily excitable idiots into a pointless argument

Next I suppose you'll say that BB King OBVIOUSLY ripped off Rose Royce

chances are this one-dimensional black metal fag has never heard of either

You can use whatever limp wristed argument you want for insisting that Deathspell Omega isn't hipster trash. Doesn't hold water, you're full of Aaron Turner's semen.

Are you the actual Fenriz from Darkthrone?

Im not defending dso and I have no idea who aaron turner is, Im simply giving you shit because "elitism is necessary to keep black metal pure" is the gayest thing I have read since Fifty Shades of Gay. Oh and feel free to post whatever bands you think represent the non-hipster side of black metal, because I guarantee we can find some hipsters who like them too.

People who argue black metal in 2015 are fucking morons anyways. Where were you guys when it meant something? Oh yea, watching Pokemon.

^ Not me, leave me out of this guys as I am time traveling to the magical year of 1993.

BB king ripped off Royce da 5 nine

back when it mattered, what you mean like 91? I was going to shows, where were you? I don't remember seeing you at any of them.

Through all of this foolishness about trooness and kvltiness and arguing like fags about what is hipster and what isn't (essentially cementing your role in hipsterdom), I think that the only true refuge from hipsters is Dimmu Borgir. no one likes them.

oh no, I think that makes me a Dimmu hipster. goddamnit.

I just looked it up, pokemon was in 96. If you think the golden age of black metal was the same time as pokemon, then I have wasted my time even more than I thought, because you are obviously one of the new kids.

That's cool man, more power to you. Who cares what some wannabe elitist hipster tells you is cool and what isn't?

I used to be with it, but then they changed what 'it' was. Now, what I'm with isn't it, and what's 'it' seems weird and scary

Anyway, to sum it up, I didn't come here to give anyone shit, I'm just trying to explain to this guy that there are many many people out there who have more of a reason to be elitist than he ever will, yet they are more accepting of the new kids and don't need to take them down a notch, because they have nothing to prove. Just get over yourself buddy, you ain't all that.

When I was twelve or thirteen years old, I was given some 'black metal rock' tapes by my parents to listen to because they thought I was getting into secular music. The truth is, I was getting into some bad music. The 'black metal rock' dominated my life for over a year until I could not get the same satisfaction I received the first time I heard it. I went to secular rock music and kept this desire and sin from my parents. I started out on soft music and grew to pop/rock-type music.

It was not long until my desire grew to 'blackened death' and 'progressive NSBM' stuff. I started getting into drinking and going to dance clubs. Minor recreational drugs came in and soon my life was going down the drain.

One night while drinking, I fell into immorality and my life was devastated. God used this tragedy to turn me around and bring me back to Him. I feel very deeply that if I had not started out in 'black metal rock' I would have been convicted about the bad music I got into. Maybe I would not have messed my life up so much.

ah to be young

ACK. Abe said this, not Homer J.

If so can i have an autograph?

Hey Yo,

You people, you know who I am, but you don't know why I am here. Now I can call out bands, I can call out elitists zines, hey you want to go to war? You want a war? You're gonna get one. Me? I go wherever I want, whenever I want, we have the backing of labels, we have the backing of fans. You just sit there and enjoy the show, we are taking over.

Are you Robb Wells?

That punk Robb Smells can't even get in the building.

Of the time we watched two of the retards fight during third grade on the playground until teachers broke it up. It's still hilarious, but confusing as fuck.

When they would eat from the garbage at lunch. I think this Fenriz guy was probably one of those dudes.

Je suis Yeti.

Can we get on this?

^^^ Get this man an office.

also what is all this 'black metal not being relevant anymore' crap? that seems like the most trendy thing to do and say of all. if you like black metal why does it not matter anymore? still plenty of good bands.

good bands beating a dead horse? cool, i'll listen to dbeat faggot music.

This thread? metal thursday regulars and sangus crybaby

Ok Dwyer.

No black metal metal band is true unless you stab faggots...faggots. black metal is for homos who sit around a coffee table in their step fathers basement talking about what is true and what isnt not having the talent or drive to play any sort of music. Just put a microphone next to a radiator for 3 hours and do black metal "howls" record it release it on a tape and go burn down a church that will make you kvlt elite and true. homos

that's it, I'm starting a revolution. As a prominent basement-dweller I will not stand for this basement-dwelling hate. If you don't dwell in a basement you are a false!

trve basement metal

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I AM THE GREATEST TROLL OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Women exist in the homoerotic world of Black Metal, and are occasionally used for breeding purposes, however their roles consist mostly of polishing weaponry, washing bloodstains out of leather and posing for cover images involving nun costumes, goat heads and lubricated crucifixes.
Upside-down crosses are NOT still Christian symbols, they are most definitely blasphemous, even for people with upside-down heads. Even when turned right-side up again, an inverted crucifix will retain its unholiness.
Burning down churches, carving swastikas in ones chest and playing with ones trouser serpent hanging out are not done just for attention, ever.
The Left Hand Path isn't just for Luciferians and rebellious teenagers. It's also a scenic year-round travel destination, famous for its sunny graveyards and relaxing lava beds.
Black Metal artists take their kraft seriously, and so should you, lest you be consumed by The Goat.
Black Metal artists take their Kraft Dinner seriously as well, Macaroni and Cheese is very popular among Black Metal fans. If you notice they have a large plate of it don't comment. They are easily offended as they have low self esteem, that's why they hide behind all the makeup. And as we all know, Kraft was founded by the Freemasons.

Now I want some mac and cheese.
