the official FUCK OFF NOWADAYS BLACK METAL thread[views:45806][posts:201]_____________________________________ [Aug 22,2012 11:34am - trioxin245 ""] Black metal wasn't always wimpy ass indy rock kids writing 11 minute songs about twigs and berries and shit. There was a time where it was just as extreme as any other genre. Here are some examples to remind us of the days when hearing someone utter the words 'black metal' when describing a band didn't immediately make you write them off forever. bennyhillifier bennyhillifier bennyhillifier bennyhillifier bennyhillifier bennyhillifier the point is, there was a time when black metal didn't immediately conjure forth images of limp-wristed faggots in plaid shirts. FUCK OFF NOWADAYS BLACK METAL |

| _____________________________________ [Aug 22,2012 11:37am - arilliusbm ""] Although I'm in a "twigs and berries" band, I agree. |

| ____________________________________ [Aug 22,2012 11:47am - WEAKLING ""] HI GUYS. WE RELEASED THE FIRST, BUT WIDELY ACCEPTED CLASSIC, LIMP WRISTED BLACK METAL ALBUM 12 YEARS AGO. U MAD BRO. |
| _________________________________ [Aug 22,2012 11:50am - KEVORD ""] I support this thread. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 22,2012 11:52am - arilliusbm ""] I'm a fan of Alcest and the like, but not once would I consider them "black metal." The genre has already done everything it could, so bands are taking the black metal sound and mixing it with other styles. it's something I've learned to accept. That being said, <insert comment about 90s black metal here > |

| ___________________________________________ [Aug 22,2012 11:56am - Baneard Stevens ""] inverticrux is better than every band in this thread, we are the most original and frightening of all. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 22,2012 11:56am - trioxin245 ""] Revenge is an excellent example of what I'm talking about here. Instead of doing what nowadays 'black metal' bands are doing and taking the style and making it LESS extreme in order to keep it 'original,' Revenge came along and make it MORE extreme. |

The project began with a more traditional black metal approach, but over the years he's been able to tranform his sound while still remaining relevant. His playing style is unorthodox yet he's taken the genre to the place it was meant to go. Logical progression; black metal for the 21st century, indeed. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 22,2012 11:57am - Alx_Casket ""] Isn't this why the "post-black metal" label was created? So that both the sound and visual styles wouldn't get lumped into the same pile? Not the best solution, but there's never going to be a clear end to genre differentiation. |

| _________________________________ [Aug 22,2012 11:58am - Spence ""] The only black metal I really ever listen to is depressive black metal like Silencer, Shining, Svarti Loghin, etc. I don't know if this meets Trioxin's expectations or if it's twigs bm. |
| __________________________________ [Aug 22,2012 11:58am - MikeOv ""] transform, rather |
| ________________________________ [Aug 22,2012 11:59am - iteY ""] blech to that. keep it primitive or call it something else. |
| _______________________________________________ [Aug 22,2012 11:59am - BobNOMAAMRooney nli ""] Svarti Loghin put out a Pearl Jam record with harsh vocals, girlfriend metal, do not support. |

| ________________________________________ [Aug 22,2012 12:11pm - AndrewBastard ""] i really like that Weakling album funny this thread is named after a Nargaroth album. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 22,2012 12:12pm - arilliusbm ""] It is a good album (Weakling). Nargaroth? Theyve been black metal for 86 years. |

| _________________________________ [Aug 22,2012 12:12pm - Burnsy ""] Yeah, killer riffage on that weakling album. Curious as to how it's "limp wristed." |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 22,2012 12:15pm - arilliusbm ""] It's regarded as one of the first "hipster" black metal albums if you want to get ignorant. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 22,2012 12:15pm - trioxin245 ""] that weakling album is good stuff. Who said it was limp wristed? |

| ____________________________________ [Aug 22,2012 12:26pm - Czarnobog ""] i'm pretty much on the same page as ross as far as the kind of black metal i like (shitty, fast, chaotic, raw, etc) but i don't get too worked up about all the watered-down ambient/artsy crap out there these days. i just don't listen to it and don't support the bands who play it. its a trend and it will pass. there's still plenty of good bands out there to be found who "keep it real" or at least don't give a fuck about mass appeal. |

"post-black metal" as a label is for a) music journalists and b) art school douches who think they can listen to a genre for 5 minutes and then "progress" it. (do a manifesto about it) |

The genre has already done everything it could, so bands are taking the black metal sound and mixing it with other styles. it's something I've learned to accept. That being said, <insert comment about 90s black metal here > I have my opinions and ideas of what constitutes as black metal, for me. I tend not to care what Decibel, a blog, or posters on a forum have to say about it. Arguing about it just gets so old. I've had many years to discern what qualities I enjoy about black metal, and it basically boils down to aesthetics. I'll go on record as saying that Neige is a particular artist who's work I tend to greet with anticipation. |
