METALHEADS ARE SUPREMELY FUCKED UP, DUDE

Exhibit A: During the two-day black metal festival “Nidarosian Black Mass” in Trondheim, Norway this past weekend, the band Celestial Bloodshed played their gig in stage costumes that had been brewing in a box with a deer corpse… for four months. They took their clothes — and the corpse — out of the box on the day of the gig, and used both on stage. Result? The bar next door who happened to be connected to the venue’s air conditioning system had to close for the night due to the stench of death. This information comes via MetalSucks reader Fritz who was kind enough to summarize this Norwegian newspaper article, so we’ll have to take his word for it. Is there any doubt why Norway is the metal capital of the world?
Exhibit B: This is kind of an old story, but newsworthy nonetheless: A Wisconsin man recently became so incensed by what he deemed to be a disrespectful karaoke performance of Dio’s song Holy Diver that he attacked the singer and a second man.
Exhibit C: Creed are rumoured to be reuniting and no one has offed Scott Stapp yet. What the fuck??? Get on that.

Norwegian metal sucks so hard. What a gimmicky joke. It’s just flat out shit music made by hacks trying to prove their hardness while drinking eggnogg with Santa Clause and Company in the Northpole.
dead would be so proud of these fellows that he’d probably off himself again…
Serves him right. YOU DON’T DESECRATE DIO!
They Fucking killed Rudolph!
Sons of bitches must pay.
I’ve never understood these bands that think it’s somehow brutal/uber-deathy/cool to ferment their clothes and whatever else in the stench of a rotting carcass. Honestly, it just makes them look like sad little kiddies who are still upset about something that happened in their childhood. You are not deep because you are obsessed with death and like the smell of it.
Who was more fucked up? The band for wearing the outfits, or the fans for staying there for over an hour (or however long they played) breathing in the smell of it in a sweaty hot room? At least the band got paid.
I agree. It’s pretty childish. I tried to go see Watain a month or two ago and it was the same thing. It smelled just like a slaughter house. I didn’t last 30 seconds in the club. I’m sure the bartenders working that night were pissed.
@Tasha
Yeah except Watain pretty much fucking rules. I’m still pissed I missed them. I’m not even what I would call a black metal fan, but they do something right.
Ah well.
@ozzyzak
Watain are Swedish, enough said.
TNBM!
ozzyzak
I totally agree. Watain does rule. That’s why I was so bummed about it. I just physically could not be in that room. It took me 2 days to get the smell out of my nose. Ack.
Once upon a time, about 8 years ago, I remember pulling over on the side of the road to take a piss and as i stepped into the woods a few feet, i smelled something ungodly horrible. Low and behold i looked down and was pissing on a rotting deer carcass covered in flies and maggots. The end.
Well, at least some people remember what metal is about. Or at least, what it used to be about.
pussies. they should grave rob the cloths of actual human corpses and were them on stage. or kill real humans and where their skins. that would be metal.
deer. are they related to the nuge or something????????
Of course it is also humorous to read all the fashion conscious punks complain about what Celestial Bloodshed wear, but what about their music?

Better than 99% of the garbage “metal” being played these days by hipsters with fashion glasses, beardos wearing converse, and washed up hardcore acts, none of whom really know what heavy metal sounds like but apparently experts on what it looks and smells like.
So what are you wearing tonight?
How is it possible for someone to be into dio AND eminem?
@globefukker
Not that hard actually. It’s called listening to whatever the fuck you want to, and not letting anyone/thing piegon-hole you.
The bars in NO close at 2:00 anyways, then it’s end of the party for everyone, and concerts happen to take place quite late at night, so what… That part of the story about the poor be-stunken guests of the neighbouring Café Vivaldi actually amused me most ;-)
yeah the outfits us black metal bands wear may be outlandish and seem rather senseless to you, but i want to see you play a blast beat or do a sweep solo for 1 and a half minutes straight. if you can show me that you can do that i’ll actually care about what you think. it’s about the glorification of metal and all things evil
