Is black metal hip enough yet?

[Metalfreak]

Apparently I Wrestled a Bear Once has decided to "Go Black Metal" as well. I don't know if it's supposed to be a joke or more "Irony." Boy howdy those hipsters do love them some irony. But regardless, it does seem to be the case.

The guitarist posted this statement, "We were sick of getting lumped in with ‘scene’ and ‘whatever-core’ bands, so we decided to embrace our roots and just go straight black metal on the new album. I’d say 90% of the new record is straight-up black metal, so we had to change our image to match… Because of course that’s just as important, if not more so, than the music."

Also, is it just me or does the guy on the far left look like Fozzy Bear on Halloween?

i feel that the wrestled a bear shit is a joke and not serious. even so who cares. bands like this have done this to all kinds of genres, from punk to hardcore to metal, and none of it has any sort of lasting effect. they die out and are completely forgotten. the taint of false metal doesn't detract from the legitimacy of good, real things, and anyone worth anything won't be fooled.

They are a joke on both accounts. They don't take their music serious yet they and their fans take them serious. Which in the same token you can't take them serious. I'm guessing that they're trying to make fun of black metal or they are trying to be trendy. Either way I still don't care enough about this band to acknowledge their existence.

In fact, I think it is an insult to hipster community to call this band a band of hipsters. This band is full of scene kids that like rainbows, br0s, and karate.

yeah they really aren't hipster. they're stuck in the "scene" scene which is pretty much dead, or at least it would be in a perfect world. certainly not something that should be perpetuated by full grown adults

I know nothing about that band, but the tone of that statement just seems like crank yanking. Maybe I'm wrong and they really are going BM, but I kind of doubt it. Whatever the case they are getting a lot of folks like us who couldn't care less about them talking about them, huh?

band sucks. don't care.

hipster is garbage more along the lines of deerhunter , the black lips , gringo star etc... this band just missed the last bus going from myspace to the mall

ashton is too busy sucking off a producer to get the two and half men pat sheen left behind to become a warlock

I'd be a lot more impressed if they'd actually wrestled a bear TWICE.

[Odinson666]

every time i have wrestled a bear was when i came out of a black out and realize i was in the bath room of the heretic again
seems to happen every time i listen to hell bent for leather when drinking

New gimmick idea for them: Mauled by a bear (in real life)...TWICE!!!
