ok sleigh bells certainly dont sound like what i expected (i thought it was going to be twee-ish indie pop)
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Tuesday, 8 June 2010 23:36 (fourteen years ago) link
cool, cad.
and yeah, this is basically the Nachtmystium, Taylor Swift, ilx poster's cats, and rolling CD purchases thread now. an enjoyable clusterfuck!

all its lacking is a pitchfork review of the Nachtmystium then we might hit 1000 posts

yeah sounding pretty good so far. was a new name to me - a friend gifted it to me because i bought a dobro recently... maybe not such a good record to give someone who has no idea how to play one though :/

Actually, the Emeralds thread is gonna take off, based on today's Pfork Best New Music heralding of the new album:

Guys, our long national nightmare is over. I was able to pick this up at Reckless this morning. I figured I could sacrifice a couple hours of studying for Nachtmystium and Watain.

saw them tonight at empty bottle (with bongripper (?), atlas moth (they have great tshirts), yakuza (were AWESOME), and eyehategod (almost got trampled whoops)
some observations:
* opened with "your true enemy" and "ghosts of grace", played "assassins" to close set. also "high on hate" from addicts, and "hellish overdose" from doomsday derelicts. did NOT play "no funeral", "nightfall" or "addicts". maybe waiting for a headlining gig? this was the second night of 2 at this venue.
* sounded really tight and LOUD. loved it. new guys everywhere.
* superficially, i must mention that blake got a serious haircut (not sure if this has happened recently or not) and now looks even more like my puppy. it's a graduated bob, basically. little bit longer in front, pretty short in the back. he was also wearing v tight jeans.

man this is straight trolling
Black metal has been rife with purists since it first emerged as a distinct subculture in Norway in the early 90s, and many of its most devoted fans still insist that it has to come from Scandinavia to be considered "true." Ten years ago this faction was influential enough that American black metal was widely considered a knockoff or even a joke, but today the music's audience is so much larger and more diverse that the zealots no longer have that kind of pull. American bands like Leviathan, Xasthur, and Wolves in the Throne Room are now seen as standard-bearers of the style, in large part because they've departed from its orthodoxies—instead of imitating 20-year-old Emperor records, they're pushing black metal in new directions, coloring it with psychedelia or even prog rock.
let's take it bit by bit
Black metal has been rife with purists since it first emerged as a distinct subculture in Norway in the early 90s,
true
and many of its most devoted fans still insist that it has to come from Scandinavia to be considered "true."
not true, at all - most of the troo kvlt purer-than-pure people will stan for black metal from Russia, France, Slovakia (the Stone), Germany, not to mention the elephant in the room, SOUTH AMERICA, whose black metal is & has always been dear to the kvltest of the kvlt
Ten years ago this faction was influential enough that American black metal was widely considered a knockoff or even a joke,
except that 10 years ago everybody knew Order from Chaos was one of the best black metal bands ever, and Absu's been around forever and was widely respected 10 years ago, and Averse Sefira's first full-length was '99 & they're also well-liked by "purists," and there's also Profantatica/Havohej, and Judas Iscariot who're from fucking DeKalb for Christ's sake...in short, there's been loads of respected U.S. black metal for a long, long time, and the thesis "USBM was not respected" actually maybe means "since casually-interested fans were only noticing/poking fun at Scandinavian bands, those were the only bands of note"
but today the music's audience is so much larger and more diverse that the zealots no longer have that kind of pull.
As just demonstrated, USBM has been around pretty much since the beginning - this whole "zealots kept it down!" idea is an invention

where to even begin? who was ever imitating which Emperor records, now or previously? etc

I don't really care about Nachtymystium enough to hear it - I got Instinct:Decay when people were going nuts about it and was really underwhelmed - it's not like I think it sucked completely but it's just not anything I'm really interested in. Like if a band is "pushing black metal in new directions, coloring it with psychedelia or even prog rock" - cool, hope people enjoy it, as for me, that is exactly what I do not want so I'll pass

oh HOLY SHIT, auto-negate all forms of hate. this is astounding. bought it early today (SO SO LATE I NO), and have been playing the first "LP" for over and over and over and over again. do not hear any goddam fucking joy fucking divisions you piles of shit. only hear awesome-ass pain metal brilliance forever.
i.e. fuck you aerosmith! (not really, but shit, dude, come on...) this is not "pushing black metal in new directions!" this is just awesome-ass goddam HEAVY FUCKING METAL, like people who are not worthless goddam sheeps have been making and enjoying for several decades now. if you do not comprehend this, then you do not like heavy metal and should fuck right the fucking fuck off okay?
i mean, i liked black meddle 1 enuf okay, but this is something else. one of the coolest & bestest shits i've heard in goddam don't know since when. "MY SPELL IS CHEMICAL!" shit. "I'M CURSED AGAIN-uh."
