WTF

I think it is clear that I don’t fucking understand anymore what people are saying when they say Black metal, now, 12 or 13 fucking years into the gloriously violent 21st century. It’s probably an age problem, not!

Strangely enough, twenty something odd years ago, the same kind of “WTF??” pops up whenever one is forced to understand what the hell everybody was talking about when they say ‘Death  Metal’. Because the name used to mean a handful of incredibly talented bands that, despite playing the same type of music, just don’t fucking sound so similar to each other, you could easily forget their monikers and think they’re all one and the same fucking band?!

Well, at least, back then, carbon copy sounds notwithstanding here and there, everyone was playing heavy, sick and aggressive as hell. I guess that’s much better than being all confused, half-assed, aimless, and all other manners of crap, while also sporting morbid, sinister artworks or concepts?  

How the fuck does that work, anyway? Playing under a certain set of established imagery, and yet sounding like something that should be categorically different? Maybe that’s progress, yes? What the fuck do I know? 

Faith

Hell yes, I do have faith. Faith in the potential of every fucking human being to lie, cheat, exploit and manipulate. To be hypocritical, self-centered, a snob, and a fucking coward.

Those are the traits of every human being. You. Me. The long-gone-dead and the soon to be dead. Never lose faith on our vices, or be blinded forever.

Now that’s as real a faith as it can ever get, isn’t it?

Fuckin good ole faith in humanity. Yes sir.

We should all be treated to euthanasia if there shall ever be peace across this fuckin globe.

The Underworld

Whoever said that extreme underground metal music is anything but food for thought, is a dick worthy of slow methodical slicing. 

I fucking learnt a lot more about history and mythology from the best of the filthiest underground bands, than I ever did from my uptight teachers…

Take, Kur-Nu-Gi-A, for example. If I never bothered to listen to the early 90s and late 80s Swedish underground stuffs, I wouldn’t fuckin know that it actually means ‘The Underworld’ in Babylonian mythology, now wouldn’t I? And I sure as hell won’t know that such epic Babylonian heroes like Gilgamesh would go and rampage through Kurnugia to gain wisdom, every now and then.

Or that Kurnugia is actually called by another name, Arali, and that it is fuckin ruled by a fuckin goddess called Allatu alias Ereshkigal

Fuck institutional education. You’ll learn way more outside the fuckin norm.
