That's what I figured. But their interviews sort of dance around it. "Oh, ha ha, yeah, we uh, we don't consider ourselves a NSBM band. I mean, we share SOME of the NS views, but I mean, it's all about the MUSIC, ya know?"

I guess "some of the views" equates to hating blacks.

Not to mention several of them were in Grand Belial's Key which, I believe, was overtly an NSBM band, or at the very least had some pretty clearly racist/anti-Semitic lyrics. Seriously, like the music you like but don't fool yourself about the "ambiguity" of their message.

Does anyone have any Alcest / Falloch style post-doom suggestions? I like the orchestral stuff, and although it's blasphemous I don't like non-clean vocals much in this style of music. Any ideas anyone?

It's not doom and there's plenty of clean singing, but Ulver's Bergtatt might hit the spot.

Anybody got any black metal that has the same kind of screeching vocals that Peste Noire has without the band being a bunch of nationalist dicks?

Alas, I guess there's something about French nationalism that encourages Famine-style shrieks, because the handful of other bands I can think of are also right wing.

Unfortunately, yeah it's serious.

What's hilarious to me is that you have this Christian band whose lead singer gets convicted of hiring a hitman to kill his ex wife and there's no mention of it on the site. No mention of his arrest last year, playing guilty in February, or the conviction. Let's just ignore that our fellow Christian did all those things. Sweep it under the rug and move on, nothing to see here.

Just finished it, not groundbreaking or a drastic departure from their old stuff but it's really good. Whoever said "anaal nathrakh are really good at writing the same song over and over again" is strangely right.

Yeah, what Anaal Nathrakh do best (in my opinion, catchy riffs and clean vocal choruses) they do really well on this album. Frustratingly, this is paired with some of the dumbest industrial and techno elements they've ever used. All things considered, it's a solid album with some good tracks, but ever since In the Constellation of the Black Widow I've resigned myself to buying AN albums for 3-4 songs which I really like.

Dagon posted this to the Inquisition facebook page:

"To all fans, supporters and close ones, I would like to clarify some horrific misinformation generated by the webzine Metalsuck of a personal matter f mine in 2007: First you must take into account, everything Metalsucks published is taken from court documents that state charges and accusations rather than what was proven or admitted in 2007. Second, I never plead guilty to the charges and the original charges were dropped after the courts examined all evidence. I am not a sex offender, and I was absolutely innocent of all charges. The plea bargain was something the prosecutor insisted on and for the defense was the best option to end a lengthy legal process. Also, the background check webpage circulating is not entirely correct, it is definitely not showing what the Police background check would show you.

With my fullest respect to you, please read my statement Metalsucks had told me they would publish:

I made a very unwise choice of actions in 2007 which got me into some legal problems. After the investigation was conducted, a year and a half later after the initial charges, the original charges brought against me were dropped and a plea deal was presented to me. The investigation determined I did not have anything that fell under the original charge.

The police report suggested I had deleted and obstructed evidence which I deny to have done, however the obstruction charge was still part of the plea deal as was the other charge mentioned in this article. That second charge is related to viewing pornography in a public area, and again was taken as part of the plea deal. To be clear, I have no sex crimes, this did not involve any other person other than myself and I have moved forward since 2009 while having complied with all aspects of the law.

I wish to remain focused on my music and my absolute dedication to the art of Black Metal. Despite any personal views and judgements the followers and supporters of our music may have, I am a somewhat private person and have never cared for destructive sensationalism and keeping what I feel is private, private.

I hope my level of transparency is understood and I thank you, as always for having been so supportive of Inquisition.

With much respect to you,
Dagon"

Can you give an ignorant fella the Cliff's Notes on this Blake Judd?

This article, written by Neill from Krieg, one of Blake's former friends, provides a pretty good summary of some of the Blake Judd story: https://noisey.vice.com/en_us/article/657436/neill-krieg-blake-judd

Basically, Blake was in a black metal band called Nachtmystium and ran a label called Battle Kommand. He got really into heroin and started ripping off other labels and individuals by either not paying for wholesale orders or by taking money for orders or records from his personal collection that he didn't send or didn't even have. He also sold preorders for Nachtmystium's last album that he didn't send and the label that put it out (Century, I think) ended up having to cover for him. All this fell apart a couple of years ago and he disappeared for a while and was homeless in Chicago.

More recently, he supposedly cleaned up (again) and has moved to L.A. and started another record label (Ascension Monuments Media) that has been reissuing a bunch of stuff from his and other bands. The most recent controversy, detailed in that post from Discogs, is that he claimed to have found some dead stock of a Judas Iscariot album released on a label run by a guy who died 10 years ago. However, the art doesn't quite match and some of Blake's associates posted pictures of the design and printing on social media. The records have MONUMENT000 on the matrix, which they tried to scratch out, suggesting that they were pressed recently for his record label and that he tried to cover this up. He also probably doesn't have the rights to the other Judas Iscariot albums he's re-releasing.

Lead guy in Nachtmystium, also played with Twilight and some other bands. Massive heroin addiction, which led to basically nobody ever wanting to play with him. A few years back he sold a bunch of "pre orders" of the new Nachtmystium album, which turned out to be a huge scam. This (I think) got them dropped from Century Media who were like "god drat it, yeah, gently caress that guy, but if you got scammed we'll at least send you a copy of the new album" (I was one of those). Something unrelated happened and Blake went to jail for a bit, where he "got clean." After he got out, he said he had to sell off all of his music collection and stuff in order to pay for court fees and rehab, and that was another massive scam. At least PayPal refunded me both times. But he got a LOT of people. Which led to the whole "Blakecrush" movement from people who got pissed off about it. Annnnnnd now I guess he's up to his old tricks.


The funniest thing to me is that no one was more publicly mad at Blake than Yosuke from Nuclear War Now. He's now going around saying "Blake's changed!!" and stocking his AMM releases.

I like a lot of USBM but yeah it honestly sucks Blake can’t get his poo poo together because he’s obviously very talented and in some capacity committed to the scene or what scene he used to be a part of. Really I hope he gets the right help eventually before he ends up dead. Addiction is brutal.

The scene is not good for him and vice versa, on heroin or not. He probably should have permanently stepped away when he got clean (if he ever did).
