Morbid: I don't really care to prove anything but you calling him an attention whore is pretty ridiculous. Black metal is 99% attention and 1% music but he easily falls into the latter.het posted:I'm not clear on what's hosed up about the laws here. He committed crimes, was convicted, and then when let out on temporary leave he tried to escape and was found in possession of fraudulent papers and a fully automatic rifle. The whole situation is just a total mess. There's not much else to it. I should've noted I meant that I wanted him out prior to escaping and all that. I still want him out but I realize why he's not.

modernlifeisadam posted:I reaaallly don't see how BM is a "dead and stale" genre, maybe if you listen to 1349/anything else on candlelight as a indication of how the BM scene is doing, sure. But IMO quite a few bands are making interesting poo poo these days, maybe not as much as a year or 2 ago, but I'd say it's hardly "dead and stale" If I could find more like one decent band a month i'd be alright with it.

Morbid Florist posted:Yeah that book packed with interviews he's given is a sure sign to me that the guy doesn't want attention. I know when I lay low the first thing I do is call the papers and a photographer and rant about how everyone and everything BUT me is the root of my problems. So wait, giving interviews about being in the biggest event in a genre's history is grabbing for attention?

Morbid Florist posted:You're the one that called him an attention whore, so answer that one yourself. But if a band (even a one man band) wants to act like the genre wouldn't exist without him, kills the figurehead of said genre, they're not giving a side of a story, they're being an ego maniacal dildo. Varg was the one that last changed the genre and created an entire (and now terrible) sub genre. He's done more for black metal than almost anyone. Euronymous was a worthless human being and did hardly anything notable. I complete agree with the pro-Varg side of it that says Euro wanted to torture Varg.

Agalloch is my all time favorite bm band and Panopticon is getting up pretty high so I guess I fully embrace the cascadian scene. Amusing. I wasn’t always fond of it back in the day but I think I was just trying to be hard and cool.

I tried out Salvation but the production is too rough mixed in with the new album right now. I’ll definitely check it out once I wear this one out for now. Seriously loving this band. I’m in the middle of going back through all my favorite black metal right now and they fit right in. Sucks I never got into them back in the day. The vocals remind me of Vintyr from Basilisk for some reason.

Henchman of Santa posted:Kind of awkward timing because I was gonna ask if anyone minded if I closed this thread. It often goes weeks between posts and pretty much everyone here also posts in the general metal thread. Stoner/Doom/Sludge has a bit more of a distinctive feel and the metalcore/deathcore thread might as well be on a different forum altogether. Let me know if you feel strongly that this should stay separate. I support this 100% and have found the threads fairly redundant and too split up for a while.

The commercialization is wonderful for musicians in the genre. Sure if you just make albums and throw them out on streaming you won’t make poo poo (and that’s awful and needs to change for sure) but the growth of black metal/black metal adjacent music + the growth of the internet has been awesome. YouTube/merch/etc is a great way to grow a fan base and make extra money. There are a ton of great bands that wouldn’t have a chance even in the mid to late 00s. I know there’s the concept of oh no people will jump on the trend and start making black metal because it’s popular now but that’s literally not a thing. I’m down with anything that could lead to more money for musicians for their art. Anyway to prevent this from becoming a dumb derail, pyf hidden gems of 2019. I haven’t really looked for any black metal this year. Kilometers Davis fucked around with this message at 13:01 on Mar 3, 2019 |

A human heart posted:Growing a fanbase and making money shouldn't be the point in itself, and plenty of good bands are still overlooked in favour of crap despite the existence of the internet. I don't really know why discussing the music this thread is about would be a derail. I mean what’s the point in releasing music if growing a fan base isn’t the goal? That’s the entire point. And making money will always be better than not making money if the artist is trying to focus as much of their time as possible on making the art.

Happy Hedonist posted:That's true and I respect that, but I fail to see how the existence of Batushka is going to in any way affect the real underground scene. There will continue to be good new music sprouting up somewhere regardless. I'm tired, I could be missing the point entirely. This is how I feel as well on that end. Black metal is never going to be pop music. But growth and expansion will only lead to more varied interesting music. The bands with zero interest in a “commercialized” sound and approach won’t suddenly be forced to take that path.

A human heart posted:that's not going to happen because reactionary politics have been deeply embedded in black metal since at least the early 90s and large chunks of the black metal scenes in most countries don't have any issues with them I understand but it doesn’t have to be like that. Genres and communities change and evolve. It’s worth pushing back against and not allowing bands to feel okay about putting out nsbm albums and having shows etc.

A human heart posted:black metal is a very conservative(in the sense of being opposed to change) genre. most people involved have no interest in the sort of change you're suggesting, and very few younger people with different views are coming into the genre. and horna are not an nsbm band even if some of the members have dodgy connections, most outwardly nsbm shows are invite only or secret anyway. I don’t know, there’s a ton of fresh blood coming into the genre lately and that will only grow over time. Maybe the very core of the black metal genre is still opposed to change but tons of bands are taking the genre in different directions. Sound and ideology. I know what you’re saying but anyone associating with members holding these far right ties and such need to be pushed out until they cut those rear end in a top hat away. It’s a seemingly small platform but still shouldn’t be one that continues to allow nazis just because they mostly keep to themselves. That logic on a larger level has allowed far right violence and thought to infect a lot of communities.
