Can't you support a cause and still object the ways to achieve goals?

As far as I know he does support Breivik's means, the only thing he disliked was the result of his actions.

This guy just can't behave himself can he?

Well... reading the article... he doesn't seem to have done much harm. The only motive why he was arrested being that he received Breivik's manifesto. Plus, Varg criticized Breivik's actions...

He criticized how Breivik's actions turned out, but he still supports the "original cause".

Varg Vikernes is being arrested again. LOLOLOLOL

Well for now, I got nothing else to say.
I guess I cant talk poetry as good as your ways

But I'm willing to improve my imperfections, so peace up, and I give you guys my highest praise

Are you aware that you're responding
To a three years old post
When I dedicated myself the most
To poor cheesy writing
And I'm aware this ain't really poetic
I am quite sure
When it comes to literature
It might be almost heretic
And these days I could do much better
Even writing a vulgar letter

And women no longer lead me to dim
For I found the woman of my dreams

There's a very childish anti-religiosity surrounding some genres of metal, a lot of the time the fanbase more than the actual bands, that I think they need to grow out of. I mean, I think Horde's Hellig Usvart is a great album, and a staple of Black Metal no matter how you slice it. But you've got people who listen to stuff like Dimmu Borgir saying it isn't trve and kvlt enough, or whatever.

I think the concept of kvlt and trve kind of ruins the credibility of those who want to avoid shitty metal bands and feel an urge to acknowledge everything that is unknown and really absorbs the origin of a genre, even though they might not like it that much or those said artists are not that original.

Like, they spend so much time calling those who only scratch the surface of the immense world of metal pretentious and posers, that they end up being pretentious aswell. I admit I enjoy listening to Dimmu Borgir and even Cradle of Filth, I like the way they mix drama and extreme music, they kind of do it pretty well, maybe their attitudes are kind of arrogant sometimes, but I can't deny I enjoy their music, and it even ain't really my thing.

I enjoy some of the most commercial mainstream sounding bands like Lamb of God, Gojira, maybe Mastodon, Machine Head, stuff like that, but I'm also into artists that are not really mainstream, not because it's cool to hear something only a few have heard about, but because I like it and that's it. And based on what I've read from you guys, I think you agree with me.

About the anti-religiosity in metal music, I agree that some bands are really douches about it, but I can't show any respect for bands who have religious themes, except maybe for Black Sabbath, even though they have some pretty sickening shit on their lyrics. But well, I hate religion, and it's not because it's "metal", cool or trve. I've no respect for any religion and I'm proud of my intolerance, because things I have experienced, and still experience today have led me to hate religion, I won't tell the story of my life, I wasn't raped if you're wondering, but I can't stand religion nor superstition. I have nothing against others beliefs either, as long as they respect mine. And also I'm not an atheist, I'm an agnostic, so I won't say there's no god and and I won't say there's none, but I really doubt there's any superior being I may not hate. And as a musician myself and poet, I must admit that my irreligiousness kind of inspires me.

I guess we portuguese are kind of used to that, americans particularly think we belong to Spain, very sad, Portugal is even older than Spain as a whole country.

You don't even know Moonspell? They're surely the most successful band in Portugal, however only their older albums and the most recent are really worth checking out, because they started as a folk/black metal band but then they moved on to gothic metal which was kind of a shitty period in their career, and finally they went in a not so bad melodic/symphonic black metal direction in their 3 latest albums, however the last album has 2 cd's, Alpha Noir more black metal oriented and Omega White, which goes in a gothic metal and even goth rock direction.

The band I chose for Portugal, Process of Guilt is also one of the best metal acts in this country, they supported A Storm of Light when they played here, really intense Doom/Sludge.

One of my favourite black metal bands is also portuguese, Corpus Christii, they have a very interesting sound with a depressive approach.

Mourning Lenore is also worth checking out, very nice Death/Doom.

And if you're into Industrial Rock, oh boy, Bizarra Locomotiva, the most amazing shit around here.

Omitir, also a very good black metal band from here.

And to support my drummer and because I really like his project, VRT139, Black Metal with Lusitanian themes, because vikings were not the only badasses around, and they never dared to mess with the lusitanians!

Respect, man. I have a lot of respect for the straight edge "subculture", I don't smoke and I don't use drugs myself, but I can't deny my social beer/wine/whiskey haha. However I abhor abuse, consuming for me is not being consumed by.

I just purchased VIP tickets to a Dying Fetus show in November, and one of the bonuses was a grinder (which apparently you need to be 18 and up to get). What the hell is a grinder? I don't want to be disappointed so I guess you guys might know.

After a brief research, I found out that a grinder is some kind of gadget used to grind weed and such. If ya smoke 'em shitteh ya might liek it brah!

Yeah, I refered that on a previous post. I'm excited to see what they come up with!

I'll check it out in a bit. The audio player on here has a habit of fucking up on me whenever I try to listen to something on here.

Then let me know what are your thoughts on it when you do so!

Any fan of dark ambient? I recorded and uploaded a dark ambient song today, pretty fucked up shit. Check it out, it's called Earth's Core (See you in Hell). It really gave me quite a thrill to create.

In Flames - Lunar Strain
Moonspell - Wolfheart
Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
Lamb of God - New American Gospel (hate me, go on)
High on Fire - The Art of Self Defense
Gojira - Terra Incognita

I upload a new song guys, it's called Retrieving My Honour. Hope you guys like it, the audio quality sucks a bit, but I think I could have done worse.

Fucking americunts, hate you all, fucking fatsoes, no exceptions.

Well tonight I've gotten myself some links to download albums by the bands Gallhammer and Abigail, and at some point I was reading Varg Vikernes version of what happenned with Euronymous on his personnal website. If you have the time to read it, please do so. It's just scary how innocent and pure he likes to presents himself. Reading through that story, murdering the guy almost comes out as the natural and correct thing to do. And now, I'm listenning to The Mantle by Agalloch. Makes me feel better after reading all that stuff.

I've read that some time ago and also his opinion on anti-racism, I immediately ran away from his site, it's sick material... What a waste of words. Well, it helped me to present a work about the Norwegian Black Metal scene on the topic of subcultures and such.

That's sad, I couldn't stand myself without a guitar.

Easier said than done.

Well, do you have the passion it takes?

I'm an agnostic, and as such, I don't believe humanity has the means to prove the existence of god nor his non-existence, so, I admit my ignorance regarding this question and live happily concerned with things that make my most likely ephemeral life on Earth more enjoyable. As a matter of instinct and from what I am able to observe, I don't have hope in the existence of God, so you may call me an atheist agnostic, and if there really is a creator, I'd rather believe in an evil/unconcerned one, based on what I see in this world and my own life experience, or even in a superior form of life which has created us, like those beliefs about reptilians and such.

Actually, the only thing I'm completely sure of is my own existence, not even my physical existence, but my cogito,

You're all obviously ignorant about music composition or won't listen to these 'wankery' bands to get it. This club is put in a box, and it does not deliver the goods. It's as shallow as a toddler's swimming pool. You guys think music is something that it's not. It's not a RPG circle-jerk clique.

I've said all I need to say, and what you really need to do is smoke a big joint and listen to a Meshuggah album. May the metal gods have mercy upon your wretched souls.

Oh boy, I could understand your defensive stance on Djent if you were not so utterly ridiculous expressing your opinion. Just because your music is in reversed augmented 7/58, that doesn't mean it's good. And I am even a fan of some djent bands that sound promising to me like TesseracT, Vildhjarta, Drewsif Stalin's Musical Endeavors, some Periphery, Meshuggah and I won't say Animals As Leaders because I don't consider them Djent, and even Tosin Abasi denies that. Also, if Djent's fanbase is made of people with a similar arrogant mentality, man, I would be ashamed to play Djent.

And also, it shows a weak and closed mind to restrict your taste to Djent, a cheesy subgenre which is nothing but a metal fashion (in my opinion it is metal, I'm sorry if you don't agree Metal Hell members) that will end/ is already ending. And the truth is, most Djent bands are just copying Meshuggah or themselves with typical groovy tunes with odd time signatures, chaotic sound and some jazz licks that eventually start sounding the same and getting laughable. Nevertheless, I must admit that most djent guitar players and drummers have astounding skills, badly availed, but astounding.

It's totally the same shit that happened with mallcore, nu metal and well well, we must admit it happened with almost every single metal/fake metal subgenre. What is good about it, is that only the good and original bands will survive.

It's also very disrespectful to diss the tastes of others, and if you don't feel comfortable here in Metal Hell, you have a quick, easy and functional solution: leave it and live a happy and fulfilling life.

Also, you lost your credibility when you said all we need to do is smoke a joint and listen to Meshuggah, yeah because the only bloody way you can enjoy Djent is on drugs... Please dude... That's such a childish attitude. And what the actual fuck are those metal gods you talk about, are you 14 years old? Because that's the kind of shit I would say if I was 14 years old... I even prevented myself from responding to you when you were defending Djent expecting you wouldn't be such an arsehole about it. I was wrong, just fucking leave this place, you're a plague.

It is indeed quite amazing, great composition, very emotive, interesting and with some sweet aggressiveness with that Troy Sanders-esque voice. That's what I love about sludge! It reaches beauty among chaotic dirty and nasty brutality. For a rather recent band, it is quite impressive and fresh.

Me too, maybe because Old Time/The Great Dying was mostly composed by my drummer and Politics by me, so it may accomplish my musical thirst more efficiently, and I also managed to use a whole tone scale on the solo, which is something I never had the opportunity to do and I think it came out pretty well. Thanks for checking it out!
