LITURGY is fixing heavy metal, and there's nothing you can do to stop them

I remember him name-dropping Ildjarn in an interview, was all "really man, there is nobody that you are fooling"
KharBevNor:
I'm mildly intrigued if this guy realises to what extent black metal exists as an evolving, ever-changing global genre.
Also, I thought about it more and I was thinking that maybe the major theme of black metal is the dissolution of the self or the dissolution of the self of others, either via death, submission or sublimation into a greater whole.
Damnable Fiend:
there seem to be a few people in here who are taking it for granted that black metal has an ideology of racism/homophobia and burning churches. That hasn't ever been true. While those things have been a part of black metal, I don't think they've ever been what defines it. I think it's more about alienation, the sublime in nature, and getting back to one's roots (which admittedly sometimes can be a cover for racism).
see: Bathory, Agalloch, Summoning, Darkspace etc.
also I misread what kvp was posting, and assumed that "fify" meant "fuck it, fuck you". maybe I'm a bad person
really, though, I can't help thinking of this guy as just another American hipster douche who thinks metalheads all listen to KISS and that he's above the rest of us for having discovered a few underground bands.
edit: sorry, I didn't read the entire thread before posting. umm, basically what khar said, better than I did.

I was at my local record store for RSD and some guy next to me held up a copy of Aesthetica to his friend and said "Do you like black metal? These guys are like, cutting-edge." I was so close to bursting out laughing.
Edit: Could have been their first record actually, all I saw was 'Liturgy' on the front, but still

'Glass Earth' might just be the most irritating track I have ever heard
