über bösen black metal.. ich muss schon sagen die ham ahnung
--------------------------------
Those guys in Slipknot may think they're hard, but I ask you, has any one of them ever eaten human brains before? Doubtful. Nu metal bands like Korn, Papa Roach, and Limp Bizkit like to pretend they're the sickest, saddest, and most f*#ked-up metalheads to ever form a power chord, but if you look with even a little bit of scrutiny at their lyrics you'll be hard pressed to see what it is they're so pissed about. These bands wear their angst like it's just another Singapore-made fashion accessory they bought at Hot Topic with their allowance.
Yet there's a land where hardcore metal bands don't just play the music, they live the music. This land is called Norway (and, to an extent, Sweden), which smothering darkness of sky and merciless harshness of clime have graced with the highest percentage of clinically depressed people in the world. Some of these depressed people, like any other people, have formed bands. And oh, the bands that they have formed. Deciding that the 80's styles of Death Metal and Grindcore just weren't hard enough, these depressed people formed a new musical style, Black Metal, that set a new low for evil and misery in heavy metal music. Unlike most metal bands, Black Metal musicians didn't just play a gig and then go home to a hot bowl of ramen in their warm, Marilyn Manson-postered apartments. Black Metal musicians lived the music.
Take, for example, Emperor, one of Norway's classic Black Metal bands. After making what is regarded as their masterpiece, the pummelingly grim and dark In the Nightshade Eclipse, Emperor's drummer (who, like many Black Metal musicians, is violently anti-Christian) was arrested for burning down a historic Norwegian wooden church. Not to be outdone, their bassist got himself thrown in jail for burglary, knife assault, and desecration. Their second drummer joined his bandmates in prison after stabbing a homosexual acquaintance 14 times, killing him outside the Olympic Park in Lillehammer.
The story of Norway's Mayhem, though, makes Emperor look like Limp Bizkit. In fact, many of the non-musical crimes of Mayhem, who used dead animal carcasses as stage decorations, were apparently attempts to outdo Emperor. Which they did: lead vocalist Dead became just that in 1991, shooting himself in the head in the apartment he shared with his bandmates. When the rest of the band got home, they took a photo of Dead, which they used on the cover of a subsequent album, while their drummer made a necklace out of fragments of Dead's skull and their guitarist, Euronymous, cooked and ate pieces of his brains in a stew. Euronymous later met his own death at the hands of the band's bassist, Count Grishnackh, who, jealous over Euronymous' more evil reputation, stabbed the guitarist to death while he was in his underwear, inflicting 23 different knife wounds. When the police arrested the murderer, they found in his house enough dynamite to blow up a large church, which Grishnackh planned to do on an upcoming religious holiday.
Next to such disgustingly violent exploits (which, obviously, Audiogalaxy doesn't condone), today's photogenic crop of major-label metalheads seems pretty damn tame. Which, really, is a good thing. No need for Nu-Metallers to eat each others' brains--they need all the brains they can get already.
