I used to be BIG into black metal.
Then I got more politically engaged and now I screen just about every band I listen to for anything shitty. Needless to say, I have not kept up with black metal in YEARS due to that.
Dimmu Borgir was my second show when i was 14. How i ended up not an absolute monster is beyond me lmao
Never listened to them tbh, but I'll admit to liking a few Burzum albums a lot when I was first getting into the style.
That said, I have not revisited them since.
My least favorite part of black metal is having to comb the goddamn resumes of any new band I find just to make sure there's no nazis. I recently gave up on Alcest because I found out the dude has done side projects with Peste Noir.
At least there's a few cool anarchist and communist black metal bands out there like Dawn Ray'd. But God damn is it irritating when I hear some dope riff, do my homework, and find out it's another fucking nazi. On a more positive note there was a band that recently broke up because their singer was concealing swastika tattoos and the rest of the band quit. So hey, some people have standards and don't want to be seen on stage with a fascist piece of shit. Hooray.
What band was that? I know Dawn Ray'd called it quits like 5 days ago, but I cant see them having nazi ink
It was Advent Sorrow if I'm recalling it correctly
And yeah Dawn Rayd wouldn't fuck around with nazis, bummer to hear they're calling it quits.
It's not black but panopticon is great
Kentucky is GOAT
