Welcome to Gaia! ::

I've lived the air of Black Metal for most of my 22 years. I haven't met the person to top my BM knowledge yet.

Any Black Metal human being will tell you that it's not about the music, it's not about the stories... it's about the atmosphere and emotions presented within the creations of cacophony. To understand true black metal, you do not understand where it came from or where it's going. You do not turn the people involved into celebrities, you do that to their creations. It's not about the people... they're no different than you or I. However, their music.. their creations.. their teachings... what they give to us as human beings... THAT is Black Metal. An act of passing down to another what one has accomplished and learned.

And ******** those ******** trendy hipster faggots. I will burn them.

Anyways, I believe the French are leading the forefront of Black Metal nowadays.

Well, what I meant by that is people who are listening to bands like Satyricon, Immortal, Wolves In The Throne Room, and higher known BM acts and claiming to be "tr00" and "kvlt"...... annoys the piss out of me. I mean, sure I like WITTR and Immortal, but they just put them on a high pedestal and when I ask what they're favorite album is, they don't even know... it's ******** embarrassing to say the least. They don't have a single clue to what WITTR is about and that's the key factor about those guys. Sure, they may not be the best or even the most atmospheric(they do a good job though), but to see them held in high praise by little scene fags is ungodly terrible. I would like to meet every one of them just force a crucifix down their p***s/v****a.

I come from a time(I know I'm only 22, but I hold in high reverence the old ways of BM)when we had to seek out bands with little to no help and every album, every song, every minute of beholding a certain record was a godsend; a perfect moment of time where time actually ceased to exist while we were transported to a place that was tangible in the deepest recesses of thought.

I'm sure some of you agree to an extent when I say "BM should always stay underground where it will remain until the worthy seek it out."

Very well written, could not have said that better myself...

Greetings. I first got into Black Metal through Watain and Immortal. I'm currently listening to Craft: ******** The Universe.

I don't really care for people's definitions of true metal. Being high strung about what other people like/dislike is a waste of time. I like what I like and to hell with everybody else.
