Lmao Ghoul that's the second time you've posted that liquor post and the second time you've forgotten the damn pic.
As for Darkthrone, I say just let them have their fun. Everyone in the metal world seems to freak out if any band tries to have fun (take CoB's Britney Spears cover, which seemed to make people hate them even more...even though it was just a joke). The Cult Is Alive is only a semi-serious album, which you can definitly see in the lyrics. But have you guys gone to the press portion of Darkthrone's site? It's hilarious,
"The Album - "The Cult Is Alive"
the Darkthrone dissidents deliver their 12 album brimming with attitude and soul.
self produced in their own studio
the dinosaurs are now in complete rage AND control!
THE CULT IS ALIVE
FURIOUS AS TIGER!
"call it black metal or evil rock, I don't care" - Fenriz 2005"
It's pretty obvious that they're just trying to have fun, so I don't think they've sold out or gone to shit yet, as Sardonic Wrath was a pretty good album (IMO)
