I only Like oldschool black Metal for The Rawness...and to laugh at the image...which btw bands and The scene nowadays seem to only focus on the image and take themselves too seriously

^^ Yeah agree except fot the laughing part.
I think new bands today look too much at their image, but hey lets face it Eyronumous was a bit like that. Bands like Ragnarok which I personally can't stand is because of their attitude towards BM with their big "scary" image when their music lacks in quality and being able to be listenable.

Emperor I dunno why people rate them so much, maybe because people are diferent and moust of who say I liek BM knows only Dimmu Borgir, Emmperor, Mayhem and Immortal, maybe thats why

K7 I almost got offended there I love Emperor because I can directly relate everything I love in music to their sound, and believe me I know quite many "underground" bands so it doesnt have anything to do with me not knowing "better" bands, we all have different taste right?

Anyway I was wondering if you know where I can buy Bishop of Hexen cds? Having a hard time finding them in sweden, and I have heard samples that sound very promising, so i dont want to download it ^^

thats just lame sending them 10 dollars. Ok you won Im downloading it right now xD I wont debatte this anymore. Screw support.

I actually do not remember who I heard first, it was either "Metal Heart" or "Freezing Moon," and I can how ever recall thinking how terrible and poor quality Mayhem sounded yet I thought it was great, so I picked up De Mysterris Dom Sathanas. But the Dimmu song left a differant impression, I thought there stuff was pretty good right off the bat, I like bm a lot but I for some reason don't think Dimmu is looked upon highly by those whom consider themselves "true" black metallers, but they are a talented band. Aside from Dimmu, my favourite bm band has got to be Darkthrone because their stuff is simple yet very strong, gritty and holds a true sound, and I personally like how they record their music so it's as if it has a grain texture to it.
I don't know about future bm though, I only really pay attention to artists on Moonfog it seems or at least those who started there but that's not to say I don't have an interest in less known acts, I simply don't know who to check out.

The bm as a whole is very dominating with it's "personality," with the exception of the trivial devil worshipping (not satanism per se,) the ideals behind bm are empowering and that's an admirable quality. Despite having mixed thoughts about Varg I think what he started held some merit to it, primarily how he wanted to (or so he claims) revive Norse mythology and spirituality and if that meant destroying Christian establishments then so be it, an eye for an eye and that's what the Christians are or were all about to, "Do unto others, has you'd have them do unto you." The thing I don't understand is bm carries a varying dose of fascist ideals too, so why are people that are not European/caucasian listening to this music, in reality they may get fucked up by self-proclaimed pureists. Hellhammer even stated that bm is white people music and that they don't like blacks.

What i like in BM? The sound, atmosphere, lyrics...
The first BM song that I heard was Dunkelheit by Burzum. I didin't know a thing about this kind of music and about Burzum then. Now I hate this band and in my opinion fags like Varg are the dirty spots on other great BM scene!

Pffff... Burzum owns you all, no matter his PERSONAL ideology.

Really?? His ideology influenced most of the nazi BM bands (especially slavic).

My friend, I understand that you are from Israel and might get offended by his personal beliefs and also the silly NSBM scene. But his MUSIC doesnt involve any feelings of hate towards any of us not you nor me, since they are rather philosofical. The fact that he himself is a moron doesnt really matter in the long run.

I mean I like Megadeth no matter how retarded Mustain is.

@ Tee : lol rather funny way to look at it ^^

@ ironman2002 : I am not to sure if that is sarcasm flowing through your post ^^?

i believe its called sarcasm

Hey, it's not a fucking sarcasm. I believe Basso is really interested in music only.

And I hate ignorant ppl like you, taking every word personal. Varg is a man and music is another thing. His music isn't full of NS stuff btw, Varg is. So you can listen to his music with a clean concience. And what if he sang about NS stuff? It wont make you a nazi! just like music with lyrics about worshiping satan wont make you become one.

no, i meant my post was sarcastic.

sorry.

sarcasm isnt as easy to discover on the net as in a covnversation ^^

I like the atmosphere some bands can generate, great compositions that are created, the emotion and the thought inducing lyrics which some bands come up with

What makes me listen to black metal? Well, I admit... it was Satan. See? I told you.

No, really. I don't know what made me listen to black metal? I quess it's the obscure atmosphere that black metal has it.

In all honesty, as horrible as it sounds, I started listening to black metal cos I thought it was funny. I know that'll outrage you diehard black metal fans, but that's the honest truth to it.

I had a somewhat misguided induction.

I obviously understand now that there's a lot more behind EVERY genre of metal - ambience, philosophy, craftmanship and musicianship. No matter the message behind the song, it's the overall compostion that makes it great. I agree that the corporeal being behind the music isn't important.

Black Metal is more interesting than other sorts of metal, the drumming is much better, gitarr riffs are awesome and the vocals are demonic. It creates an atmosphere that takes you along for a ride in the darker side of life.

I said before that I listen to Black metal because of the musics evil atmosphere, which I love. Maybe I should add that Black metal seemed to be an very interesting and original genre which made me listen to it ... and a lot of die hard Black metal fans will be furious with me when I say that Cradle of Filth also was one of the reasons that I started listening to it

to an 'outsider' everything with harsh/screamed vocals is considered black/death metal, so I'll forgive you

I myself had my first contact with "black metal" with Cradle of Filth , didnt like it at all though. Then I heard Dimmu Borgir, Enthrone Darkness Triumphant, and I totally fell in love. Downloaded all their albums and started listening to Dimmu Borgir like a nerd. At a later time I heard CoF again and I was able to enjoy it, but I was never able to fully enjoy CoF.

Btw: I went from Slipknot to Dimmu Borgir, does that make me a bad person ? lol

I listen to Black Metal because I like the atmosphere, attitude, and some of the philosophy present in some bands' lyrics. And also because of the music :p I especially like the sort of dark, hidden evil atmosphere present in bands like Von and Beherit.

The only reason why burzum is so good known is because he fucked euro, no one gives a shit about his music
