04.12.2009 - 17:59 Written by Slayer666 on 04.12.2009 at 16:44 Let's call it an outlet, I how ever did not say any thing about being original. BM is a great facet for expressing certain ideals. I don't particularily want to delve into the early 90's Norwegian scene (especially since I know we've other threads to discuss such matters relentlessly in) but, all the shit that went down back then became the foundation and epitome of the lifestyle. They may have been a bunch of kids at the time but, their actions and innovative music have obviously made a huge impact and thankfully now, people of that mindset are a bit more organized and focused, though I personally feel that in current times it's more talk than action and thankfully (again) we have a few choice musicians that actually apply their ideologies. Alleged criminal action isn't just cut and dry, people who actually have the conviction to enact upon their beliefs should be respected, so long as their reasoning for doing certain things are valid. It's a majority rules out there, just because a person murders another person doesn't necassarily mean what they did was wrong, it's just not accepted on a social scale in which the person at hand has to deal with a third party (government,society etc.) repercussions. When it all boils down I think it reverts back to the old law of, "An eye for an eye" because, obviously black metal gets it's name from being anti-christian, part of that is rebelling against christian society which for the most part is the world or, at least the domineering presence of todays world. Christianity forced people either via physical force or political/government means and eventually took over many old ways, destroyed peoples religions, ways of life and the like - we're lucky any sort of Germanic traditions survived for this long. With religion comes the human drive for power over others, religion is just a tool so, why not fight back by making an alliance with the enemies enemy, it helps those against christianity to be distinguished amongst the masses and show the enemy where one's allegiance lies. The religion thing though, that's only about half of it but, it's a fairly prominent aspect of it all; it's all relative. If it's just music to you then, so be it, no skin off your back man. What's important is those who do understand and are like minded, striving for the same cause so, it's not really that crucial if would be "outsiders" can't comprehend or agree with the ideology found within black metal. But, let me ask you something man, I'm just curious. Why do you choose to have a pentagram with Baphomet in it, as your avatar, and why choose to use "666" in your username?

05.12.2009 - 12:25 Written by Bitter Dawn on 04.12.2009 at 17:59 The way you talk about this, a guy would think you are actively seeking to destroy Christianity and soceity by waging war on it, litteraly. But that is not so. All of that is simply empty talk, it doesn't DO anything, nor does it CHANGE anything. I agree with many, many ideas about religion, mankind and it's society that BM promotes, but it's not because of the music, but because of simple logic. Any idiot can see that the church is just the biggest scam in history that gives certian people power and luxury, if you just think about it a little. You can also recognize all the faults of mankind (of which there is truly an abundance) simply using your brain. You don't need BM to think with your own head, do you? Quote: Oh, that. No particular reason, I just really like the way it looks and sounds. Cheesy as fuck, I know, but still...

06.12.2009 - 01:08 Written by Slayer666 on 05.12.2009 at 12:25 We could debate the millions of christian follows for mere sake of debate as it has certainly been incredibly convincing to many people all over the world. Honestly man, I never felt comfortable with christianity, even as a kid which was probably just because I hated going to church due to is boredom factor but, that's the prime time to suck people in. I would say logic and spirituality are on differant levels though, and even though christianity has a lot of blatant inconsistancies, it still comes down to a matter of spiritual acceptance and "faith". I haven't ever needed BM to see the falsehood of christianity but, BM has become a great catalyst for people of like minded ideals and values which then turns into the becoming of a way of life, the music created after that is the aftermath and expression of said ideas. Perhaps you're just not there yet man, maybe that sort of lifestyle just doesn't click or, work for you but, at least you enjoy the music and it extends beyond Dimmu and CoF.

Ooaahoh! ooaahoh! ooaaoh! dimmmuuuu... borgir! yeah, I really love their self-titled song from the last album , I agree it sounds like a slightly heavier version of Nightwish, but it's awesome and the symphonies are really well used.

Dimmu Borgir was quite likable back in -96 and -97, after that I don't know what happened.

I just choose to ignore the epicly large amounts of garbage that were presented in In Sorte and Abrakadabra but I will never stop listening to the For All Tid to Deathcult Armageddon era of Dimmu alot of win in those years

06.12.2012 - 15:22 Written by ANGEL REAPER on 03.12.2012 at 19:38 I loved "Enthrone Darkness Triumphant", and then nothing really caught my ear, until "Abrahadabra" was released. I think it's a very good album. Even though it's completely different, it's good in its own right.
