 Re: Black Metal
I was in NYC when Ghost played at the Bowery Ballroom.
I couldn't go to the show but some that did complained that Ghost played pre-recorded music during some of their songs?
What's up with that for those of you that saw them at other venues?

Hey Nat Sorry I didnt get to say "hey", beyond the head nod from the distance. Definitely awesome, but short. Though I expected that as their album is pretty short and it sounds like they don't have any other material other than the cover of "Here Comes the Sun". Also, I thought the sound mix could have been a bit better - it wasn't bad by any means, but it wasn't as "clean" sounding as some shows that I've seen there. Chad - I didn't notice any pre-recorded music. Perhaps the person you heard from just wasn't able to see the keyboardist through all the smoke?

 Re: Black Metal
Can't stop listening to Darkthrone and the commentary on the 2 cd sets are awesome. It takes a little time for my ears to adjust to the accents though. Nocturno's is very heavy.

 Re: Black Metal
Check out Sterbend - Dwelling Lifeless! I posted about them a while back. Definitely some of my favorite dsbm.

 Re: Black Metal
Just ordered the new Mgła, the sample track I heard on youtube sounded excellent. The newest Augrimmer, Forteresse, & Order of Orias are all worth checking out. If anyone likes black/thrash metal the new Ketzer is out. I think I prefer Satan's Boundaries Unchained a bit more though. The album that keeps on kicking my ass, which was my top album of 2011, is Aosoth - III. It's colossal.

 Re: Black Metal
Wow -- Nice to see a mention of Mgła. I had no idea he had a new album. Mdłości is so good.
I will definitely get around to checking it and your other recommendations out!
Edit: Oh, it's more than one dude. Oops.

Any Maniac Butcher fans? Or Abigail fans? Both bands are great.

 Re: Black Metal
Anyone heard of Xanthochroid? They opened for Mayhem at the show I missed but luckily a friend pointed them to me. I'm normally not into Symphonic Black Metal, but this shit is great. Looking at some of their videos they must have been awesome live! Its really great stuff.  "Wormwood (Live) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lf8n77iX6jg

Like Winu said, symphonic bm just doesn't really interest me too much, unless it's done really well. The metalcore vocals don't really interest me too much, either. But then again, I've only heard their first album.

On a video for "Depressing Paths Through Fullmoon Forests" someone was complaining about the band blatantly copying Burzum, to which someone replied, "the entire black metal scene is a rip off of burzum lol" lol.

 Re: Black Metal
Yes this one. They did go to a more thrash sound later on. Century Media has there Early years cd on sale for under $3. Definetly worth it.

 Re: Black Metal
So I could use some brainers BM knowledge and help. I just found Waitan's new record, its pretty awesome but theres some controversy about if theyre neo-nazis or not. I generally steer clear of the black metal genre, so any knowledge that you guys can send my way would be great. I sprung for a hoody but certainly dont want to get jumped by MHARPs for rocking it  . Actually I would cancel my order if it was the case. Fanks! A

One of the band members said this about it: "NSBM is a joke, a despaired approach of people who're incapable to comprehend the perversion and the insanity of Black Metal. They're trying to appear extreme and limit their selves in their conception to that kind of society, which describes something that we wouldn't care less about. Fuck the world! Black Metal doesn't have anything to do with the world like you know it."

 Re: Black Metal
I'm surprised it has taken so long for this topic to surface.
That's a pretty weird answer by the band member, haha. While there definitely is some nsbm out there, I don't think Watain would be categorized as such.
I listen to some nsbm. I like the music, but certainly not because of the member's beliefs. It was after listening to some bands that get labelled as such that I learned of their personal views. It didn't make me think any less of them, just a 'huh, interesting,' type of thing. I personally don't care at all about any artist's (or random person's) beliefs, but I understand and respect that others may and do feel differently. Black metal at its core isn't about sensitivity or caring about perceived sensitive subjects (I mean, it's a genre of music with core themes based upon religion, occultism, depression, death, suicide, pain, violence, hatred, etc. -- pretty heavy stuff, right), it's about 'fuck you and everything else,' to put it simply.
In most cases, nationalism does not equal Nazi. Also in most cases, nsbm is really terrible.

 Re: Black Metal
Thanks for the input so far everyone. I think its an interesting as on SB the mere mention of Skrewdriver (Who I for SURE aint down with) sends the boards into fits, but BM seems to have a built in weird grey area. Not being well in the nuances of BM I certainly wouldnt posit on the beliefs of any band luckily I can come here to ask you guys who know a lot more about the topic than I. Is the Wikipedia entry biased by some random Waitan hater? Because their first demo certainly has a sketch title if its true.

 Re: Black Metal
Peste Noire's first demo is titled Aryan Supremacy. They also happen to be one of my favorite bm bands. They are not ns at all and are actually French nationalists*. Odd, huh. Hard to believe, but it's true.
While some bands may title things to appear shocking (a pretty cheap tool, if you ask me) or to just base lyrics off of, some others truly believe in the shit. You've definitely got to do a bit of research if it's something that will bother you in the long run.
*I think having pride about nearly anything, especially regarding the nation your mother birthed you on, is utterly ridiculous. Plus, that demo blows.
