Seriously, there are few sounds better than mournful, mournful scandanavian country. I have no idea what it means, but man are those people sad.

]]> <![CDATA[For Norwegian Black Metal Rockers, God is In the Details]]> I visited the reconstruction of (replica of?) the Fantoft Stave Church in Bergen a few years ago. Seeing it was a meditation on mortality and mutability, and this thread recalls all that. It survived intact since 1150, and then POOF! Up in flames. (Well, Jack...Should I get my hat?)

]]> <![CDATA[For Norwegian Black Metal Rockers, God is In the Details]]> @FitnessMadeSimple: (insert Beavis and Butthead laugh) Heh heh....Oh yeah. I suspect I might not be metal enough to hang with you--I'm more of the Mastodon/High on Fire/Jesu/Electric Wizard side of things (more Southern Lord than Relapse these days, depending on mood), but I always like recommendations.
(ps: I PM'ed you)

@hamburgerhotdog: Nice. If you're on a stoner kick, you should check out Sixty Watt Shaman. They are awesome. And I'll assume you've at least heard of Corrosion of Conformity.

]]> <![CDATA[For Norwegian Black Metal Rockers, God is In the Details]]> @hamburgerhotdog: Man I know! The best part of my night was when I met up with a too cool to dress up girlfriend to go to a "Halloween birthday" party.

Of course, I was the only one there in costume. Sat and drank visciously, bored as hell on the couch next to the birthday girl's freakin GRANDMOTHER!

]]> <![CDATA[For Norwegian Black Metal Rockers, God is In the Details]]> @hamburgerhotdog: Haha, that, in turn, reminds me of the time I was at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure and saw a dude walking around by himself in a long sleeve Cannibal Corpse tshirt, black bondage pants, nail polish and eye liner on a humid-as-fuck, 99 degree day.

@luciluce666: Haha, sorry...I admit, I'm just not one for black metal, aside from some Dimmu. Thrash, melodic death, stoner, prog and power metal are my genres of choice.

]]> <![CDATA[For Norwegian Black Metal Rockers, God is In the Details]]> solution: start juicing, keep it up with the make-up and backstory and join the WWE. THEN kill yourself and your bandmates. then Del Toro will make a movie out of it.

]]> <![CDATA[For Norwegian Black Metal Rockers, God is In the Details]]> @FitnessMadeSimple: Awesome--that's like the time I saw all the Goths at Six Flags eating a funnel cake. I will definite check that out.

@luciluce666: I was one of the Immortal dudes for Halloween one year and it was very difficult to get the corpse paint done correctly. Yes--same stupid Crow references.

]]> <![CDATA[For Norwegian Black Metal Rockers, God is In the Details]]> @FitnessMadeSimple: Noooooooo! Their Live in Leipzig album is a metal classic. Granted they're no Venom or Judas Priest (ok not BLACK metal), but Funeral Fog is such a great song.

Side note: I was Dead from Mayhem for Halloween but everyone thought I was The Crow (TARDS), save one mid 60's cracked out tranny who thought I (at 5'7") actually WAS Marilyn Manson like fo realz.

]]> <![CDATA[For Norwegian Black Metal Rockers, God is In the Details]]> I think the clip (if i could find it) from Metal:A Headbanger's Journey summed it up quite nicely.

]]> <![CDATA[For Norwegian Black Metal Rockers, God is In the Details]]> this book is in direct rebuttal for HIM ever coming out of Scandinavia... Norway, an independent for quite a while, just couldn't stand by anymore and decided to do something about it. King Harold Bluetooth, may he RIP, would be oh so proud, I'm sure.

I used to front a metal band before I sold out to the man and went corporate. Cutting my long hair was one of the saddest experiences of my life.

miss_msry

]]> <![CDATA[For Norwegian Black Metal Rockers, God is In the Details]]> So they like Poison and Slaughter and Nelson, right? Cuz they're metal. (CodePink is suddenly branded with 666 from the inside-out on the fleshy part of her right arm.)

CodePink

]]> <![CDATA[For Norwegian Black Metal Rockers, God is In the Details]]> the fact that a lot of their antics stem from arguing about who can be the "most extreme" makes me think that they're pretty much EXACTLY like their shifty white-trash American counterparts (god love 'em)

]]> <![CDATA[For Norwegian Black Metal Rockers, God is In the Details]]> @FitnessMadeSimple: My bad. I tend to unfairly lump all leather daddies on a crypto-white-power trip together, regardless of makeup choice. In the unlikely event that any of these characters is reading gawker: please don't hurt me Mr. Metal!

A Swedish friend of mine once told me that every Norwegian guy in the mid 80s looked like they were in A-Ha.

]]> <![CDATA[For Norwegian Black Metal Rockers, God is In the Details]]> @naboo: Norwegian Black Metal, not Norwegian Death Metal. Death metal-ers don't wear corpse paint and would probably eat your first born if they heard you were mixing them up with black metal-ers.

doolittle

]]> <![CDATA[For Norwegian Black Metal Rockers, God is In the Details]]> Norwegian death metal is just an insanely overcompensating reaction to the fact that the band that put Norwegian rock on the map ended up being A-ha.

]]> <![CDATA[For Norwegian Black Metal Rockers, God is In the Details]]> @Sheila: You speak of formative years being spent drinking Coors and listening to Slayer in dad's van like its a bad thing.
