RE: The Call of Black Metal - do you have what it takes?

in #black7 years ago

Great post! Really like "warning - footprints" but for me, it is more doom than black metal, and this amoseurs? Its very melodic and pop! But its good!

One thing for me in the black metal is little confuse: i understand that varg quit black metal cause he dosnt think the scene is more correct to express your true feelings about life, culture, ancestry, etc. Cause black metal (mayhen, etc) is more "look to me, im a fucking satanist and want cut your throath with a viking axe". So, we have a dichotomy in this two versions "original black" and "black of varg after your prision"... What you think about it?

Sort:  

Yes, Warning (and the other project by the vocalist, 40 Watts Sun) is Doom, I posted as example of what kind of Doom metal ticks me. Amesoeurs is what we call 'blackgaze', so yeah. It has that vibrant, pulsating feel of a unhappy inhabitant of a soulless metropolis.

I agree with Varg - Black Metal isn't what it used to be anymore. This is kind of what this post is about, but I'll explore it more in a few more posts. Black Metal was the revolt against the modern world, but the modern world, as always, ate it up. His post-prison stuff is way more black metal than 99% of the current releases. Black Metal is a mindset, not really a sound.
