Ken has a point. Are five-inch-nail wristbands and painting yourself to look like a mutated panda any more or less ridiculous than modifying your face in photoshop to look like a melting troll? I posit that they are both quite stupid.

Music is totally not black metal, though. It's decidedly 'meh.'

The entire fucking black metal genre is a caricature of itself. These names and photos are stupid, but what you consider "acceptable" black metal is not? Retarded. 95% of black metal bands have retarded made-up names and dress and look like gothcore rejects.

With that said, these songs are pretty badass. Doesn't sound like black metal to me, though.


You are about as qualified to talk about black metal as I am qualified to rant about thrash. That said, while you are exaggerating with the 95% you do have a point.

Did you hear, Lord fucking Worm just got kicked out of Cryptopsy. :rolleyes:

Yeah, maybe 95% isn't accurate—how would I find an accurate percentage anyway? My point, however, was that what is being made fun of in this thread is essentially exactly what the majority of black metal bands indulge in. It's like being a hardcore rap fan and making fun of another rap group for rapping in ebonics and wearing baggy pants.

Your hardcore rap analogy would've been much more accurate if the rap group everyone was making fun of was white.

Yeah, this band is stupid not because of how they look or whatever, but because they are not really what they are claiming to be.

Yup. There doesn't seem to be any love and appreciation for black metal there.

Hey, a little ridiculousness never hurt anyone. And you can get away with looking stupid if you write good music e.g. Immortal. These guys however, do not.

I disagree. Those songs, while not black metal, are really good.

They're better songs than I was expecting, but just a little dull.

I have to admit, those photos are a lot worse than your average retarded-looking BM band...

But the music was decent, if not black metal.

Well, there's "Lolz, stupid black metal bands" retarded and then there's "is this supposed to be funny?" retarded.

...those pictures are of the latter.

Hey retard, just because you choose to ignore FACTS doesn't change anything.

Eyesore: Not active
The Ghost of Eyesore: Not active
Emolicious: Not active:
Apoptygmatic: Temporary account until Mike activates my new account.

Yeah, clearly I'm the first person on this forum to change account names or create a new one, right? Now why don't you fuck off.

i'm pretty sure you're one of the only ones who had and used 4. Still, this is far from the original subject.

Shut the fuck up, Ken. As to your continuous ranting, here's a clue:

Either you're gone or you're not. There's no point in an interim stay.

It doesn't matter. I never used them at the same time. I wasn't logging in and out of accounts talking to myself, like other people did in the past.

The only reason I'm using this retarded account is because no one admins this forum anymore.

I love when people like you come in and insult me when I respond to some other assclown who insulted me first. Come back to reality, please.

So, um, no, I won't shut the fuck up. Why don't you put a dildo to your eye and walk into a wall.
