Double post woo! So apparently there was a six hour symposium on black metal in Brooklyn last weekend with several lecturers. Here's the NY Times article: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/15/arts/music/15metal.html?pagewanted=1&_r=4&th&emc=th

Sure, sorry:NY Times posted:The bald, beefy moderator, Niall Scott of the University of Central Lancashire, approached the podium in darkness. “It is my revolting pleasure,” he susurrated, pulling on his long goatee, “to introduce Professor Erik Butler, who will present his paper ‘The Counter-Reformation in Stone and Metal: Spiritual Substances.’ ”

We were talking about that symposium last weekend. Glad to see it being summarised in the press and, despite some peoples' criticism, discussed on an intellectual and analytical level. I freaking love Masciandaro. He's impenetrable (as some of the other speakers must be in their day-to-day writings) but cool. His gloss of Black Sabbath's Black Sabbath as the founding moment of metal is worth a read. I may have posted the link before but: http://reconstruction.eserver.org/092/masciandaro.shtml

HankMcCoy posted:so im just starting to get into black metal. I've alwasy dug stoner/sludge, old school thrash, and stuff like that (Slayer, Mastodon, High on Fire, Pig Destoryer, Clutch, CoC, eyehategod, Fu Manchu, Kyuss etc) Wolves in the Throne Room - (Shimmering Radiance) Diadem of 12 Stars Drudkh - Eternal Sun Ulver - Capitel V: Bergtatt - Ind i fjeldkamrene Paysage d'Hiver - Äther Paysage d'Hiver - Ich Schreite... I'm unsure about the last one because it's pretty fast, on the other hand it should appeal to Burzum fans.

Drastus' new EP "Serpent's Chalice - Materia Prima" has some cool bits in it. The song "Resonance of Naught" is a definite highlight.

"Not Saved" especially gives me chills, it's so subtle yet beautiful. I'm really looking forwards to the cover-album they're releasing next year. From any other band I'd disregard it as a lame cash-in, but I have faith that Ulver can pull it off.

Speaking of Wolves in the Throne Room, have any blackmetal bros in here found lyrics to Black Cascade anywhere? Help would be greatly appreciated, i've been hunting all over the place with no luck.

Plasma1010 posted:You have broken an unwritten rule of the underground Black Metal circles. I know, I know. The worst offense. I bought it on vinyl recently, and some of the inner artwork has some weird fairy poo poo going on. I love WITTR, but I must make sure it isn't a black cascade of fairies and unicorns and such. I wouldn't commit such a heinous act if I hadn't dug deep everywhere to find no results. Asking here seems like a better idea than some lovely metal forum.

dead56k posted:
Well listen deep and determine if you interpret the Artwork and Sound as Weird Fairy poo poo. Perhaps this is the case and it is not something you can stand by. The sound and image of ones Black Metal art should not have to be stood by and explained. A painter often creates a painting and puts it out for display, but does not always stand by it and explain every detail of the image. This is well respectable because not everybody is going to interpret that image the same. Instead of narrowing down the art to be portrayed in one way it can be best to let many interpretations flow. Black Metal allows for these many interpretations.

Their imagery, album art, lyrics, persona, ideologies, everything - are related in some part to the forest, to old pagan druidic philosophies, that sort of thing. They could very well be singing about fairies. That said, I think I need to go back and listen to Malevolent Grain a few times. It's so relaxing.

Wow 'The Most Metal Things Ever!' article is hilarious, it even got a good response over on MA. I think this might be because they picked some good targets that just about everyone can see the humor in, didn't rag on one genre the whole time and didn't touch any scared cows. If the author's are reading this, I'd like to congratulate them on such a well written article.
