I don't see why every black metal band around have to be "satanists". Dressing up in black and white paint and screaming their balls of about how much God and christianity sucks, does not make you a satanists.

but it makes you a poser

We sure agree on that.

ummm, lets just forget what I just said. In black metal poser is one who brings in ones music statements that one doesnt believe in. Like saying "I worship satan" but not worshipping satan really. And you can come to argue with me if you want...

It also depends on how they say it. Some bands do not take themselves seriously and make it clear that they are playing characters and are not being themselves. I don't consider those persons posers. To me a poser is someone who believes what he does is the best thing in the world and that doing so makes him or her "superior" or "cool" (that is why I consider Manowar a group of posers). This can also be related to what you said about believing in what you do. Saying "I worship Satan" does not necessarily make a person a poser, but worshipping Satan because it's cool makes one. So does saying : "I worship Satan and those who worship God are morons". There is a big difference between 1) saying "I am against Christianity" and explaining why and 2) saying "Christianity sucks! Long Live Satan!".

That is why I agreed entirely with what you had previously said, because I felt that you talked about number 2.

I hope this explains my thought clearly.

Noob!
I'm just kidding. Their Death to False metal warcry is a little too much sometime. I say it suited them better in the 80s than today.

I don't know about you, but when a band (and certain people of that band) decleare themselves as satanists, and then go burning down a church, I actually think they belive they're satanists themselves.

(and with that I'm heading off to a W.A.S.P.-concert. I'll discuss more later)

Well, I wish you that they don't cancel it. Blackie Lawless is very good at that.

Let's hope not. I even think that the stage can carry that 1 000 kg microphone of theirs as well

And then I'm out. Carry on.

\o/ it seems that usually in black metal topics we slowly side into offtopic. But to keep one in the topic, lets just ask what is your all time favorite black metal cd. Well, you quessed it, Transilvanian Hunger by Darkthrone. Second must come either Eerie or Legions Of Perkele by Barathrum....
