@Noah Hinson Music It wasn't just the term Venom coined, it was also the over theatrical Satanic imagery. They realised that, due to the Satanic Panic of the 80's, having all that imagery was a quick and easy way to get laid because you looked like a badass. So if we're sticking with them being proto-black metal, all that was technically proto-corpse paint, it just had a different meaning to it than getting laid all the time.
@Noah Hinson Music Between both Venom and Bathory, the foundations were definitely laid. Always fascinates me how you can boil it down to just those 2. Not that they were the only ones, much like Elvis wasn't alone during his era, but it's so interesting to be able to isolate 2 bands and basically pin down a whole sub-genre. Such an interesting piece of modern music history.
Haha, I went to school and summer camp with him and have some friends that have played in the shining. He was pretty fucked up even back then but he seems to be doing better nowadays.
In my opinion, all this talk of what criteria a band must possess to make them Black Metal is moot. I dont think its about the ideology, the appearance, or where the are from. To me, Black Metal is such because of the guitar tone. Thats what makes BM instantly recognizable. Its all about the guitar tone.
I love Mayhem! I love Freezing Moon! I love Dead! Maniacs decent. Love Hellhammer! Love Attila! Love Necrobutcher! Love the new guys! Love Varg when he had to play bass on an album! Even Euronymous is okay with me. Love them all!
@@bloodshotred6334 Classic line-up isn't the same as Original line-up in my head. Hellhammer, Attila and Necrobutcher are legit "classic" Mayhem members, and they still remain.
I started listening to Venom,Witchfynder General,Motorhead,Death,Sodom,Hellhammer in the early days. Was heavily into the scene for many years. However,after awhile,a lot of this stuff started getting boring for me because it was faceless....all sounds the same after awhile. So now I still listen to the old stuff and a few bands like Toxic Holocaust etc.
It's a shame that the original documentary is now considered lost footage. That interview with Clive Jones was one of the funniest gayest things I've ever seen in a music documentary.
Well this is a sign..I must check out Von.. I was listening to Watains first album today when I read that they got their name from a song by an American black metal band called Von and I thought “hm, may have to check that out”, but then kind of forgot about it and moved on.. and here it is again, so now I HAVE to check them out..I’ve been delving pretty deeply into black metal lately and it’s sound and folklore are amazingly ugly and cool..thanks
Haha no i had the mind of a teenager into black metal and thought it was funny they burnt churches because i was an edgy teenager, plus all of your comments are bullshit, now fuck off and leave this to people who actually know about black metal, King Diamond was not black metal you anus.
Venom did not invent Black Metal in my eyes ..ears Mayhem . thats Black Metal Maybe they paved the road to Black Metal but i don' t even hear that in there music. It sounds more thrash
Vin Kalman all black metal had its roots in thrash, listen to Celtic Frost and early Bathory and you hear the middle point between thrash and black metal.
Black Metal as a genre existed way before all the norwegian sitcom. That's why it's called as "2nd wave of black metal" as well, because there were bands releasing stuff years before even Euronymous and co. gestated Pure Fucking Armaggedon, their first demo. Just that small piece of info destroys all your blabbing posing out as an argument.
Mayhem should have thought a little harder about a band name. Euro was so much into pageantry he totally whiffed on the name! He should've called the band something that left no doubt what the band was really about or what they stood for.
Mann the most non serious idiotic supposed black metal band is abbath /immortal 🤣🤣🤣🤣 just lookin at them makes you laughhh could never take em seriously but entertaining though
PRHILL9696 Watain is satanic Dark funeral is satanic Deicide is satanic Behemoth is satanic (I'm pretty sure) There is a lot more I just can't think of them at the moment.
Please explain why a European band would have a confederate states flag in their studio? Also, the wigs on those goofballs in the end, looked ridiculous.
American black metal is shit, there's no true atmosphere or depth. 1 or 2 american solo black metal artists can express a bit of it but in general it's shit.
Ben Priday The good stuff is still really underground or it has a black/death edge to it. Some of my favorite USBM bands are Yellow Eyes, Anicon, Shadow of The Destroyer, Grand Belial's Key, Hellgoat, Profonatica, Royal Arch Blaspheme, Abazagorath, Cult of Daath, Morbosidad, Unholy Crucifix (Started in Norway but moved to the US), Vesterian, and several more. The point here is that you have to dig deep to find the good stuff.
The "th" sound is not used in the Scandinavian languages, so only those of us who speak English on a daily basis can pronounce it. I am pretty sure that you cannot pronounce most Norwegian words correctly. Din jævla møkkamann.
Sorry, but I know I'm about to piss some people off but seriously???...The singer from the band Immortal sounds ridiculous. It sounds like a bad joke or a really crappy, cartoonish, attempt at sounding scary. There, I said it!
I agree with you. Sounds like crap. They shouldn't be saying they're rock and roll. They are a disgrace to those words. It all sounds like a bunch a shit. I can't stand all the Satan crap.But hey it ain't for me but to each his own.
Jorge Munoz, Abbath is like that all of the time, he has a good sense of humour and knows exactly how he comes across, he is very tongue in cheek and you shouldn't take anything he says seriously, he is a funny dude in a genre that can lack any humour at all.
Most stupidest and non serious funny black metal band is immortal 😂😂😂😂 mann they never looked or sounded black metal its almost like they mock the black metal genre
I agree because Black Metal is far less intense. Plus I can't stand the vocal style of bands like Immortal. Plus the music is usually very simple. Some black metal can be as brutal as Death Metal but not often. Also a lot of the corpse paint and posing looks incredibly clownish. There is a few exceptions but honestly the exceptions seem to be bringing black metal back into death metal realms and attributes with these exceptions.
