Dark and vitriolic black metal foments chaos and disturbance in your mind while extreme sadness and
isolation converge in epic conception of your soul: this is black metal. Chaotic and
minimalistic black metal spreads deconstructive virus in the
simple combinations of its nihilistic metal riffs and the embedded resonant details of its
simplicity. Paradox its language and evil its inclination,
evil black metal is best understood as extreme performance art addressing the apocalyptic soul of postmodern times as it survives the moralistic, aesthetic,
and judgmental thought pattern of Judeo-Christian bourgeois socialization. Black metal is
the soul of survival after the death of the world. |
Black metal is searing renaissance of romanticism in the melodic yet atonal
masterpieces of these underground acts. It is all of the nihilism of death metal and yet
its own, darker, more morbid commentary: Black metal is structure and beauty in death.
House recommendations: Immortal,Burzum,Emperor,Mayhem, Sacramentum, and Ancient.
| Black metal is a renaissance of morbid
thought in order to purge us of our dependence on images of life and illusions of
perpetual existence in which all values are the same. Black metal points to the inequity
in life and celebrates the differences that create dark spaces - black vacuums of
emptiness - into which those inclined to have their own motion can move and create in a
universe that otherwise rewards only those who move with the flow. Where there is no
future for humanity, black metal - misanthropic and midevil in its obsession with
destruction - has a home, and where black metal exists a mentality within humanity is
urging overthrow of the empire of denial we all know has been the human addiction for all
of recorded history. It is something so insidious and perpetual that it cannot be given a
name, but so seductive - like heroin without the needles - that it is omnipotent
throughout the human equation, as if we were afraid to admit our mortality, the end of our
path being death; black metal cuts through this illusion and perpetuates an acceptance of
chaos and death as welcome as well as necessary.
Reviled by those who wish to maintain a status quo of inactivity, null value, denial
and easy profits for those willing to steal from their world and succumb to the ways of
the trained predator, black metal unleashes your inner feral soul and brings forth the
black predator in your spirit. Black metal is the soul of post-apocalyptic existence, and
if you feel an inspiration toward darkness, you will heed the call of black metal. |
