1/X [Huge fucking thread in progress] #blackmetal
I have been considering writing a thread about my undying love for black metal for a long time and for multiple reasons. First, I thought about the educational value of such a thread for people who study the extreme.

2/X So, yes, there will be right wing and even nazi stuff in this thread, it is unavoidable. But if you want to understand how music can be a portal (or not in most cases) to extreme ideologies, this is a necessary evil.
Also, Satan.
Also, Satan.
3/X But nazi retardese will not be the main focus here. There are major NSBM (National Socialist Black Metal) bands that I won't cover. Because they are utter sonic shit. I'm more interested in the bands that produce good music with a shitty ideology than the opposite.
4/X Then, there was just the will to share the music I love, the sound that made me who I am. Or is it the sound I chose for the soundtrack of my life because of who I am? We don't care. We don't want to venture into boring territories.
5/X Black metal is not for everybody. Not because it's a music for an imaginary "elite", but because it's absolutely fucking unpleasant to listen to if you're not prepared or used to it.

7/X Now, it is a familiar melody, an old friend I go back to once in a while to have a pleasant chat. If you managed do go past this first audio nightmare and feel proud and tough, don't worry, there will be much worse.
Much. Worse. Or better depending on where you stand.

8/X As I lack imagination and flashbacks are a bitch I'll proceed chronologically. I'll forget some bands, I'll skip some songs, but I'll be honest. Consider this thread as your Apocalypse Terror Music 101. I promise it will be fun.
Kinda.
Welcome to the thread.
Kinda.
Welcome to the thread.
9/X Also, expect bad English, spelling mistakes, and all out nonsense. Entertaining nonsense though, that's how we roll.
