What is Black Metal, mom?

 Well, there is much to say about Black Metal. Different questions pop up as I watch all these corpse-painted , misanthropic, grim, nihilistic, evil, anti-religious (and the list goes on...) BM bands possessing the TRUE BLACK METAL. What is true anywhay and who is to tell so? If I know one thing that is that BM is  minimal, violent and ugly by itself. No complicated riffs, no fancy bullshit.The music speaks for itself. Bathory and Hellhammer showed the road. Darkthrone and Mayhem walked it down. There are those who tried to copy these bands and failed to do so. There are others who tried to evolve BM and introduce elements that would appeal to more people. Of course they fell into deep shit. I got tired of hearing superficial BM songs having nothing to say and sounding like pigs' farts. The answer to TRUE BM is sticking to the basics. Not  reproducing old-written stuff, but being inspired by all these great bands that created this annoying sound.

As for the BM image thing it's just ridiculous nowadays. What few did back in the days, because they  felt  so and expressed themselves that way, many abused it while they found another way to sell (more of) their records. 

I really don't know if all this makes sense...but who cares...

 

This is what I call ugly BM !!!

Bla, bla, bla...

I'm that close to start hating summer season. The weather is hot as hell, the majority of the people I know are away, I'm most of the time trapped into my house unable to drive away all the boredom and the misery...Sapila... (=a greek word describing the whole fucked up situation). The only thing that is left giving me strength to survive, is music. I am stuck with Red Dons, Insurgent Kid, Autistic Youth, Clorox Girls. Kick ass punk rock! Another cheering thing is that the last two weekends of July there will be held in Veria and Tirnavos two d.i.y. festivals with lots of bands. Black Trinity & Go Filth Go will be playing in that one in Veria but we will join the other one in Tirnavos too, just for relaxation. So, if you got nothing to do get off your ass and join the festivals. There will be free entrance, free camping and vegan food served every day!

One of these days I will post the new Machetazo 7". Stay dis-tuned.

Start all over...

Due to EXCEEDING boredom I had completely neglected this poor blogspot, until now! I made my decision and here I am. Beginning from where I stopped thus I have made some changes as you can see.
I am thinking of making something different such as posting one record weekly. So, that way it will be much easier (for me), I think, to get along with the blogspot-updating.

Hope that it'll work. Stay dis-tuned as always.
