  'It’s okay though. The guy who got murdered talked his band mate into suicide and took pictures of his body to put on an album cover so he was kind of an asshole

  I enjoy black metal, I enjoy much less having to become a freelance investigative journalist each time I find a new band that sounds cool

    just listen to hipster NY bands like Krallice and Imperial Triumphant.

    I say this as an obvious Colin Marston fan.

    I just don’t even look into it most of the time. I just don’t have the energy. If it’s obvious, then I drop them. Otherwise, I’ll just enjoy the music and stay ignorant

    I would love to see similar lists of other genres.

      ABMN is not just Black Metal, they're YT channel (findable on Invidious too) is divided in to playlists by subgenre.

      SNH also a huge mix of sub-genres and non-metal genres such as EDM, Noise, punk etc.

      In terms of non-metal, there are similar projects for neofolk (which also has a tendency to attract the fash), the LeftFolk collective features some great music. The Riihimaki Collective feature hardcore, and DIY Conspiracy are a punk collective.

  I‘m really drunk so are you saying black metal people are expected to be Nazis? That honestly sucks ass

  source

  • Skua@kbin.earth ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    There is definitely plenty of non-Nazi black metal. It's just that there's also a lot of actual Nazi BM, including some of the foundational figures of the genre. The general themes of the genre being very misanthropic and usually interested in the various kinds of paganism that Nazis cribbed a bunch of their symbolism from can also make it difficult to spot the Nazis at a glance if they're not being overt about it

  Black metal is, in my opinion, the most poetic and beautiful subgenre in metal. I stayed away from this subgenre for almost two decades because I was scared of all the bad press, but when I finally decided to listen to some bands and artists, I fell in love instantly.

  The best part of black metal, for me, is how the vast majority of the songs I have listened to are basically lyrical simping for mother nature. I fuck with it.

  Also have a soft spot for DSBM and how it both puts a spotlight on and gives an outlet for deeply depressed and suicidal people. Almost therapeutic for some of them. That’s so beautiful.

  As for all the controversial stuff, I find it to be both very interesting from s historical perspective but also incredibly cringe. Especially when it comes to fully grown men still running around with the mental maturity of 15 year olds.

  I also remember being kind of shocked that the original Mayhem related crime cases were all committed by teenagers. When I was a teen myself, I guess I thought it was like grown ups in gangs ala Hells Angel’s, running around being nazis and burning churches and killing people. But its was really just a bunch of bored loser kids with mental problems.

  Still, I dig the music. They did something different both in terms of sound and presentation and I can’t hate them for inventing a new artform within a genre of music that is basically modern day classical music.

    Panopticon

    Thrawsunblat

      Absolutely adore Agalloch. We listened to one of their albums a lot in my office for awhile. In the Shadow of Our Pale Companion is one of my favourite songs ever. Everytime I want to give examples of amazing lyrics within black metal, I turn to this song.

      Not sure I have heard of the others you listed, but I’ll look them up! Thank you. I’m assuming they all belong in the simping for nature category xD

  It really do suck that Jon Nödtveidt had to be so fucking good AND a completely unhinged lunatic killer.
