The reason people stereotype metalheads is because metalheads like yourself consistently produce obstructionist discourses which block the potential for a meaningful engagement with metal's cultural content.
It's never enough to just like the music. All you dorks talking about the ideologies are listening for all the wrong reasons. You listen so you can profess how deeply underground you are. Give that shit a rest and listen to the goddam music for a change. Shut your face and listen. The reason people stereotype metal heads is because they act and speak so predictably. So shut up and listen.

to all of you Black Metal guys...Black Metal was a song by Venom, it is nothing more, the genre has about as much to do with song as Pink does...even Cronos condemns the scene as idiotic. Most of you have absolutely no concept of the word Satan or what Satanism is. Pick up a book and read my friends and stop genre-ising and for god sake ...chill out!
Understanding Nihilism and totally inventing a genre based on one song are 2 differant things...Cronos laughs at the whole scene and the just keep on going with this " Black Metal is a Satanic war! " shit....What is your influence Gaahl?..long pause.."Satan!" LMAO...Let´s get it straight guys, God does not exist, therfore neither does Satan! There is no hell, there is no fire, there is no devil! It´s a fun thing to do to piss off mom, that´s it! No great reward from Lucifer for best face!
I indeed overdid it with my nihilism example. And the discussion on God is a really really long one. It's just a matter of belief in the end as long as you dont push it on others
Satanists largely don't believe in any form of god; they just use Satan as an example for a sort of quintessence of the way they believe they should live and be etc... this besides, AWESOME BAND AND SONG :P
Slowride, the thing is, Gaahl from Gorgoroth doesn't believe in Satan either. It doesn't make sense to make fun of a man's beliefs if you don't know what they are. He says that Satan exists only as a symbol of the opposition to Christian values. He himself also said that since there is no god there can be no satan, he says that since we live in such a religious world, things can be more easily understood by theists when you put things into their language. Most satanism isn't about Satan.
The moment Black Metal becomes a genre filled with rules like this one is the same moment I quit listening to it altogether. I'm gonna go listen to some Bone Awl...
As well, good on him for breaking up the mosh. Metal is about more than just irrational anger, rage and physical aggression; channel these things mentally and spiritually into a form that truly matters, use the muscle that REALLY matters. This is a spiritual timeless art, if you want to act like a barbarian go to a thrash/crossover/punk show.
Really love the music of these guys as well as the ideology. Amongst a sea of angry satanists and NSBM a group comes along with thoughts actually based in reality and preserving things that matter, like the natural world; because where will you worship satan and preach racial supremacy without that?
I agree with the fact that the natural world is an important entity if we want to continue doing anything we've ever known about. But I think moshing is totally alright unless some dude is "hardcore dancing". I bet that was the reason he was asking someone to stop.
Probably someone in the crowd picking a fight in the pit. Happens every now and then. I've seen the Deftones stop a song live once to break up a fight.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
... Yeah... Cause the press is always right.
And they're not that bad, they have some good riffs. But they're by no means great, and would they have been singing about the same stuff as those Mayhem-retards, than no one here would have ever heard of these guys, and for good reason.
Yeah, I can ouch for Inresurrection. I went to those shows only for Pelican. The other bands were drastically different from their style but it was still an alright show. Pelican had the best set, IMO.
strange, a black metal band opening for a post-metal band. boy if wolves in the throne room are fake black metal then fake black metal is better than the real.
Fake? Nah, you're fake here. They are actually playing it, something you would never be able to do. Let me guess they are "fake" cause they aren't from Norway, don't have corpsepaint etc? Grow up.
I moshed to WitTR, their drummer was in the pit aswell for other bands... Noctis Valkyries in Calgary, you have to wait for the right parts to mosh to this, it changes alot.
Yeah, that is unacceptable. Moshing is one thing, pushing people around and stuff. But hardcore dancing, flailing your limbs to shit like you're fighting an army of invisible ninjas, is ridiculous. I can't see myself just standing still to shit as powerful as this. I don't think it's ambient music by any means but I still love it, definitely.
I'm looking for live footage of wolves in the throne room.
I have some for trade.
