France - Ved Buens Ende (classic)
Yeah I thought this was a Norwegian supergroup of sorts.

I think it's "blackened grindcore" or something but I really dig The Codex Necro by Anaal Nathrakh for UK BM. Not so keen on their later stuff tho.

omg, I feel weird saying this but I sort of get where LJ is coming from with Hood -- might say the same thing about something like Crescent. I don't know that it's actually relevant to actual black metal in any way, but I think I get what he's shooting for.

I don't doubt it. It's still the kind of extra-curricular nonsense that matters more than music itself (although given that we are talking about a genre that a huge portion of people have heard of because of extra-curricular nonsense it's only fitting, I suppose.)

xpost: I don't know definitely about Pyha, but Metal Archives lists a ton of South Korean BM bands. (Apparently it's the most Christianized culture in the region.) Downloaded some projects by an SKBM dude called Barbarous, and it's batshit crazy in the best possible way - just not enough of it!

i never got past the frog-in-throat vocals of immortal or the song titles/lyrics which might as well match word for word those black metal parodies that emerged on the net years after the event.
― Charlie Howard, Thursday, 30 July 2009 10:34 (fifteen years ago) link
I see what you're saying, but then most parodies are pretty close to the originals. That's how it works.

Just saw the shallow and disappointing "Until The Light Takes Us" BM doc, consisting of: extensive interviews with Gylve (Darkthrone) and Varg (Burzum), plenty of low-grade video footage of burning churches, a cringe-inducing side story of a Norwegian artist making his career co-opting BM aesthetics in the Oslo art world, and....not. much. else.
Utterly forgettable, unless the goal was to validate Varg's amateur philosophical musings as justification for church burning and rival murder.....which the film kind of does accomplish....
My point being this: while Burzum was/is totally f$%ked, he certainly was/is THE ONE musician in this scene who both originated the sound AND backed his stuff up....
I voted Burzum.
Btw- for those still determined to see the film- the Harmony Korine BM performance art piece is FANTASTIC....
― Reassuring Drops, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 02:11 (fifteen years ago) link
Bahahaha....I should have expected your comment. I know, I know, .... you're right, but you caught me in a moment of infernal weakness.

Well sure, but hard drives were expensive in those days, and being careful with your recorded material is hardly kvlt.
― moley, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 03:21 (fifteen years ago) link
xp Hmmn I think regardless of the movie's "goal", Varg pretty much demonstrates that he is/was a completely unstable person and a total dumbass to boot.
― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 03:27 (fifteen years ago) link
youre making a joke
― kid cruti (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 5 August 2009 03:28 (fifteen years ago) link
You forgot Frost's wacky Dead inspired self-mutilation performance art piece btw. Not that it's a good reason to see the movie.
― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 03:29 (fifteen years ago) link
That piece was so insanely bad that it ended up being kind of insane anyway.
― Reassuring Drops, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 06:31 (fifteen years ago) link
Great videos!! Also, Darkthrone. I'm surprised that so many people think Vikernes "did it good" as opposed to "fucked it all up".
― Tourtiere (Owen Pallett), Wednesday, 5 August 2009 12:50 (fifteen years ago) link
Musically or criminally?
― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 15:12 (fifteen years ago) link
Artistically, really. The music is good. The crime is bad. It's that point between the two... some comments here seem to imply that Vikernes' notoriety as a arsonist contributes to his overall "metalness". Which one can't deny. But it's the same mentality that puts Ian Curtis and Nirvana-dude on the cover of magazines every year.
― Tourtiere (Owen Pallett), Wednesday, 5 August 2009 17:34 (fifteen years ago) link
Gotchya. Yeah I don't buy that Varg's extracurricular activities have anything to do with the quality of his records (except mayve insofar as their quality has declined since his incarceration.) Don't care about his overall metalness either since he's clearly such a doof.
― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 17:53 (fifteen years ago) link
how old was he when he did all that stuff? 20, 21? crazy time in a young man's life. the drinking and the murdering and the burning, we've all been there.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 18:06 (fifteen years ago) link
Sure, but it's not like he's less of a doof now.

prison does strange things to a man. like jon from dissection. makes one of the greatest metal albums of the 90's, kills a guy, goes to prison and becomes even more immersed in satanism, gets out, tours, puts out an album that hardly anyone likes, and then kills himself in a ritualistic suicide. its a story as old as boy meets girl.
