Other countries.
7.1 USA. Yes, damn it, that's where the real problem is
with black metal - in America black metal
It’s just scary how few, just grinders, bru-
tallmen and hardcore people... However, here too
one wound up very positive and wild
aggressive team ACHERON. Ensemble Or-
todox Satanists is based on the idea
ology of one of the most famous apologists
darkness in modern history - Alistair
Crowley. That's the only thing they're all about.
problem - on the album "Anti-God, Anti-Christ"
they have one intro per song,
where they read while the bells are ringing
quotes from the works of this philosopher. I will say
Honestly, it's boring. And so the music is nothing.
I especially like "Fuck The Ways Of Christ"
I liked it.
7.2 Mexico. Oh, they lived, they even play black
country of Spanish emigrants and idiots
TV series. And how they play!!! Some group
ARGENTUM was honored and recorded in Florida
studio just killer album - "Ad
Interitum Funebrarum." This is where it turns out
there are masters of horror and creatures of gloomy
atmospheres! In general, if you like when de-
depression, darkness, pessimism and suicidal thoughts -
If they fill you up, put "Ad Interi-
tum..." and enjoy. (If you love
those when ancestors and neighbors appear
signs of everythingthe above, my to you
advice - PLAY AGATHOCLES!!! And total
destruction is ensured).
7.3 New Zealand(!). New Zealand Co-
manda DEMONIAC in 1997 produced
light album "Prepare For War". Everything would be fine
oh, but this release was a PARODY
to black metal. Demoniac musicians simply
joked about the funny seriousness of pin-
gwins, their evil paintcorps, pretentious
phrases and intonations... (Yes, damn it, they
easy to make fun of, they have vikernes with but-
zami do not wander. Would they try something like this?
perform a trick in Norway, this year
ninety-fifth...) But in general, it’s nice, it’s a waste-
but...
7.4 Iceland. This northern country can
claim the place of "the most pagan
states in the world" even more than Norway
gia. So, for example, if during construction
roads in desert areas arrives
information about what was seen somewhere nearby
elves, trolls or gnomes, Icelandic authorities
you move construction somewhere else
further from this place. In short, one of theirs
group called "Falkenbach" svarga-
Nila sophisticated pagan folk with use
local nozzles, whistles, rattles and
pelok. The album turned out to be extra class.BURZUM
flies away into the ass. Long live folk metal
by FALKENBACH!
7.5 Japan. The most famous Japanstan
black metal band at the moment is
there is SABBAT, whose leader Gesol has been for 17 years
promotes uncompromisingness andmania
rage. I don’t know anything about their music,
because in our wilderness it is impossible to find it
elk...
7.6 The only one known to me today
Italian BM team is EVOL, you-
who let out her first (or maybe not her first)
goodness knows) CD "The Saga Of The
Horned King" which was licensed
Polish company Morbid Noizz. In use
Niteley very original pseudonyms:
Prince of Agony, Lord of Suffering and Princess
Infections. Their statements are also very pretentious. Here
Excerpt from an interview from Legion #5.
Prince of Agony:... This project arose from the mo-
their expressive experiences are enough,
associated with a deep belief in the rights of being.
This group is an attempt to close the fiery
the circle between us and our dark ones
brothers scattered in all corners
Earth. We glorify our dedication to Darkness in that
strong opposition to what is happening in
Light. <...> We glorify the truth, especially that
its part telling about the birth of Darkness.
The war against falsehood is the basis of everything we do
We bark, and music serves as our weapon. <...>
EVOL - "black right", as opposition to everyone
the rest, which are often called "light"
and “love”, behind which there are often people
eternal limitations and selfishness. Our mu-
language - an eternal battle between false concepts
yami, which I mentioned already. Around them
armies of suicide bombers have rallied, trying
destroy historicalexperience that has its own
the real meaning, and I don’t know why some-
Some try to look only for good there. War
and hatred are also inscribed in the wheel of history
rii. We forged our sword, calling it EVOL, and
we are going to use it regardless
sacrifices inevitable on our way. For us
it's not difficult, we believe in the chosen goal -
fight against supporters of the false Light.
That's it, dear ones.
Part 3.
Trends in the development of black metal.
Here we come to the last and most
difficult part of this story. Why
the most difficult? But because it was predicted
how this style of mu-
languages are quite difficult. With accuracy it is possible
to say one thing - the peak of popularity of black me-
tal passed, which is very good. I'll try
explain the last statement (about
"good"). When any underground
style becomes popular, emerges
trend, i.e. many people start playing this
music not in the name of art, but only to
earn money. Just remember 1996 -
1997 - how much crap came out -
not the popularity of black metal - ISVIND,OUJA,
NORTHRONE... Now this wave has subsided -
black has become a common underground style -
like death, grind or punk. Unfortunately this
decline in popularity is perceived as
death of the genre and manycomrades already, probably
new, we have prepared obituaries for black metal.
However, despite all these cries a la
"black is dead", most non-trend
teams continue to live, work and create
rit.BURZUM, perhaps, bent...
So, let's begin. The most likely way to develop
orbit for the pagans I consider the decrease
the share of metal and an increase in folk in their music.
Perhaps in five years, folk metal
transforms into something similar to what
is now produced by the well-known Ural
(in my opinion) Thy Repentance team - shaman -
skoe throat singing, tambourines, nozzles, crackling-
ki... and no guitars. It is possible that "chalk-
wild paganists" will use
developments of classics, reworking folk into
symphonic basis and produce pagan
black art.More aggressive teams can,
remaining in the style of MARDUK/IMMORTAL development
to write your pagan ideas in the text hour -
ty. For black metal, especially for pagan/folk
use of English rather
everything will become atypical (this trend
already observed), because . exotic folk
sounds are better combined with no less exotic
ical, for example, Icelandic. Satanic-
Chinese teams are unlikely to use
some folk melodies. Most likely
it will either have powerful keyboard support
for guitar chainsaws (like DIMMU BOR-
GIR), or the use of a symphonic OS
new and polyphony like EMPEROR. Vocals - here
you canshow off variety - starting from
screams/screams from Vikernes and ending
black/death by ROTTING CHRIST and ACHE-
RON.
More rapid development of post is possible
black due to its originality (although
Silenius Gregor does not like this definition
beat), and, I’m not afraid of this word, progressive-
ness.
It seems to me no less likely
increase in the total share of keyboards in the atmosphere
spheral black and the use of acoustic
some guitars. With this I finish my astro-
logical/heromantic experiments.
It's time for postscripts.
P.S. Some tips for beginners of blackste-
frame:
1.Even if religious or ideological
position of a particular musician or group
you don't like it, that doesn't mean that
their music will be just as unpleasant to you. On-
example, my relationship with Varg Vikernes -
completely negative, but the music is
what he writes evokes in me the most
living emotions.
2. Don’t try to immediately understand the music of such
groups like EMPEROR - it's too polyphonic
to perceive it without a certain
preparation. Buy a couple of albums DIMMU BOR-
GIR,CRADLE OF FILTH,BAL SAGOTH,SUMMONING.
And then you can take on EMPEROR.
3.Remember, everything changes. If you bought
an album by some group and you liked it -
xia - this does not mean that the next one will be so-
kim. Lately, many teams
began to dramatically change their style, leaving
to myselfformer name. There are many examples:
MORGOTH,PARADISE LOST,TIAMAT,DARKTHRONE in
91st... So ask first
put it in the store. If you hear
what we expected... well.
I learned all the above lessons from
own sad experience.
P.P.S.
Notes:
Blexter, blacker - performer or worshiper
nickname black metal.
ZLobaris a black metal performer.
Pinguin- contemptuous and mocking nickname
another black metalist who is interested in paintcorp -
catfish (see below).
Paintkorps- makeup applied by blacksters to
face during concerts. Usually this is a strong
but eyes lined with black, black lips with
downturned corners of the mouth. The rest
parts of the face are painted white. Possibly
also applying all sorts of penta-
gram and inverted crosses. Hence the
the nickname "penguin" - the makeup is black and white.
Paganism- paganism.
Paganist- accordingly, pagan.
Ipagan- a person who believes in the ancients, before
stian gods.
