Yes. If they were a power metal band there wouldn't be any interest and they wouldn't be getting interviewed and no one would be talking about them pro or con.

The Herberts own BM now. The more sigils and pentagrams the better. Not long off when NED shirts are in Urban Outfitter windows. Mark me words.

Yeah, I know. Just giving you a hard time. You're right, the posturing above "black metal" is ridiculous. It's probably some reverse-elitism thing for all the hipster black metal shit they're given. LOL.

There are douchebags in every scene/genre and I dislike most bands & fans in every scene/genre. But, I guess age has gotten the best of me. my virility for anger towards them has been replaced with utter amusement at humanity in general as it stumbles down it's inevitable decline. hey, that sounds pretty black metal, don't it?

Now, where's my bottle of crown royal and a doobie damnit?

Also, Withered's ideology is correct and well thought out, and allow me to say that Mike, your last job on the planet is to try to be cool, unlike that dude. Those dudes in the video seem to me to be bandwagon jumpers for damn sure.

well, thanks, Jake. I def understand. yeah, there were definitely a few bands to hop on the BM wagon out of Brooklyn once Krallice made a splash.

You know how that goes. A band gets signed and all of a sudden, 10 other similar bands pop up hoping to get a piece of the pie. At least with any style/sound that's easy to duplicate.

And, yes, Aura Noir!!

My pleasure sir, you know I subscribe to Withered school of thought, and I don't want you guys getting lumped in with less than genuine bands.

well , these guys are pretentious enough to compare, the white noise they are making to a sonata , there was no emotional release in the music they were making , which is what the first wave of kvlt guys were about, this guy in the video who likes to here himself talk can't discern spirituality from philosophy, Erik of Watain at least is very passionate about the pursuit of his spirituality and it feels like a much honest expression.

too funny , reminds me of Madonna when she tries to explain Kabbalah in an interview and has no idea what Hermetic Kabbalah is , those guys need to read catching the big fish by film maker david lynch and maybe it will make more sense to them as Hyboria is form a mythology created by Conan writer robert e howard and the rest of that they jacked from the Dungeons and Dragons book the manual of planes

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.
