Metal Elitists

[FlamingPie]

Black Sabbath fan gets butthurt when the bar he's in switches "Iron Man" for "Jingle Bells".

I don't mean to judge a book by it's cover, but, if you put him in a lineup and asked "Spot the violent guy who takes metal too seriously", it'd be hard to make it any easier.

Let every knee be bent, let every tongue confess

I'm listening to Slipknot right now.

Somewhere, a metal elitist cringes in disgust.

As much as most black metal is utter shit, this is actually a really good song.

I have no idea what it means. Probably something horrible. But its haunting, brooding atmosphere is actually very listenable.

 

[The Knife's Husbando]

Do you know how to piss off a music elitist of any kind?

Don't argue about it. Just actually enjoy music.

Yeah that dark atmosphere of the Swedish prison system that allowed him the ability to make said song/album.

Must have been really hard on poor Varg.

This was recorded before he went to prison. When he was incarcerated, all they let him have was a synthesizer.

I have always been fascinated/curious where that dissonance occurs that turns personal taste into a moral code that others must be punished for not following?

Black Metal is a special case, because since the Second Wave ideology became just as important, or even more important, than the music itself. I think the scene is now much less ideological than it used to be, mainly because of the comercialization of the genre.
I sometimes get classified as a metal "elitist" simply because I almost exclusively listen to stuff from the late 70s to the early/mid 90s. If that preference makes me an elitist, well, then so be it.
PS. There are actually some new bands which sound and dress like they came right out of the 80s. Kinda funny if you think about it.

That's why most of his work in prison was dark ambient.

Bal-Sagoth. So wonderfully goofy and over-the-top it's physically impossible to take it seriously in any way.

The song titles are almost as long as some Absu titles. But that's the case with many of these really occult bands who actually believe in that stuff.

I need to listen to some more Absu. Proscriptor is an awesome drummer.

Gotta love Bal-Sagoth. They have a certain charm to them gleaned from stuff like Clark Ashton Smith and Robert E. Howard. The production is great too.

Wearing an N.W.A. t-shirt at your concert makes your metal even more black:

What's funny is that Mutiilation is one of the less accessible BM bands and that means that its fans can be horrendous, elitist twats. This ancient website was made by a group of people who trolled Soulseek's BM chat. Listening to Mutiilation was almost obligatory to enter their oh-so-cool circlejerk: http://www.angelfire.com/folk/kvltovdaath/index.html

In other news, I'm friends on FB with a girl who bangs Willy.

That site looks like an elaborate troll, but the fact that it's real makes it even more hilarious. It's obvious that they took shit way too seriously.

If we're on the subject of kvlt bands, I would highly recommend Manilla Road.

Black metal is all about taking shit way too seriously.

It's hard to beat being a guy who calls himself Dead, and then commits suicide to be actually dead, and then your bandmates take photos of your suicide and your next album is a bootleg with the dead Dead guy's shotgun mouthwash photo as the cover.

That's hardcore. Still sounds like someone belt-sanding a live peacock though.
