I don't understand that "BUY OR DIE" thing either it comes from Fenriz or from god himself. What the fuck is it supposed to mean? I will buy whatever i want and i'm pretty sure i won't "die" even if i buy the lamest record ever. Who are you to tell me what to buy or not? And why should i feel guilty about any purchase of mine that doesn't fit with Fenriz's or anyone else's "BUY OR DIE" list? "BUY OR DIE" lists can fuck off. Besides, will the new blakk met'l kids learn but mainly love 80's metal because Fenriz told them about it? Very doubtful. If you search and discover old metal that's because you really WANT to do that and you're REALLY INTERESTED in it, not because someone said to do so. It's very simple indeed.

hahahaha black metal-GEORGE BUSH!!!!!! NOW THATS NOT FUN HAHA...
SERIOUSLY, finally, all these guys are growing up, this case darktrhone, which btw i really like thier early albums, and come on "they were teenagers when they started" now i think that they finally realized that the "im serious black-and-white black metaller" comes also from another place....the 80's, even bands like Ripper, or Death SS can be considered direct influences of "im not having fun black metal"
and come on...even "troo" black metal bands have fun while they play, if not, whats the point, they do it it because they like it-if-they-like-it=they-have-fun-if-people-like-their-music=they have fun too
go terrorists and not "evil musicians" instead
its good to find this kind of albums, thumbs up for DARKTHRONE!

Some good riffs here and there... But there's good riffs here and there and everywhere anyway, that's dressing. The music must have some cohesive aesthetic going for it otherwise it's just ear candy.Professor Black wrote:Did anyone else think that the album kinda sucked, regardless of the semiotics?
Ion, I bet there WILL be a new interest in HM by black metal 'kids' actually.

I'm not big into Black Metal, but if at all possible could you please give me the links to these interviews?DaN wrote:Kinda semi-offtopic, but it's always fun reading those early MAYHEM-interviews where they totally slag classic Heavy Metal (Maiden, Priest etc..). Considering how much Respect For The Elders there is in the BM-scene you'd think the kids would follow suit.
I think that it would make for a decent read.
It would be appreciated.

My favorite page for early black metal photos/scans and history is the UNHOLY BLACK METAL CULT website

I personally like the new Darkthrone album. I don't think it's trying super hard to BE anything or some clever marketing move to turn black metal kids on to 80's heavy metal. Looking at Darkthrone's musical history it's clear to see that they do whatever they want in most cases. Fenriz seems like he is just expressing his possible "rediscovered" interest in classic 80's metal. It's clear that black metal as a incredibly powerful form of metal is almost completely gone. Most of those great bands from long ago are older and have settled down. Can anyone really expect Darkthrone to still be making intensely evil and raw minimal black metal like they once did? Darkthrone have probably come to realize that they aren't able to make music like that with any genuine emotion. It took them a few years to fully realize this, thus we have their 1996-2002 period of experimentation/failure/stumbling..kind of looking for a solid identity. They obviously don't want to stop making music. So they kind of take it back to complete basics. I can appreciate the last 4 albums for what they are.
Old,slightly bitter, alcoholic metal dudes making dirty/raw heavy metal.
That is basically it. Are the more recent albums fucking amazing? Not really.
But they are still pretty good.

FOAD is a really bad joke of an album. It's not that I dislike the new direction (I liked The Cult is Alive), but this new one is so lazy. It sounds as if it was slapped together in about a week. Plus the liner notes are some of the most condescending things I've ever seen in a release. Who do they think their audience is after all, the hot topic crowd????
