VIVIAN BLACK: THE GREATEST FEMALE IN THE HISTORY OF METAL, EVER
Monday, October 5th, 2009 at 1:00pm by Axl Rosenberg
MS Maniac John Devos tipped us off to the existence of Vivian Black, with whom I was previously unfamiliar. And, honestly, I feel deeply, deeply ashamed. For Ms. Black is a true artiste, a creative genius of the highest order. Her thinking is just on an whole other level from most people. We can barely comprehend the ways in which she is pushing the envelope.
Here’s some background of Ms. Black, from the bio on her official website, which identifies Vivian as a “Vocalist & Author,” “Actress,” “Proucer & Director,” “Author” (but not vocalist this time!), and “Occultist“:
Vivian Black, is a multifaceted artist: actress of the horror genre, female Metal solo singer, creator of black metal performances, composer, screenwriter, writer, artistic producer and director. A talented woman, whose potential has not been recognized by show business, nor by most of the public of her native country.
This website will clarify, for the first time, who Vivian Black really is; her attributes and virtues, her artistic work, her talent spread out one hundred per cent, her real aims, her mythical and enigmatic personality, and the limit between reality and fiction, the character (or not) of the addressed by many “Witch of metal”, “Princess of darkness”, “Black witch”, or “Satanic singer”.
Is your mind blown yet? No? Well how about now?
Or now?
Or now?
She’s incredible, right? And here I’ve been, wasting my time writing about bands like Gojira and Tool and Slayer, when the greatest thing ever to happen to music was just running around out there, being incredible and sexy and smart and funny and… oh, Vivian, I can’t live with you. Will you marry me?
-AR
I’d give her one.
when she was riding that dude whipping his ass i almost shit my dick….
another question?
is she mentally handicapped? b/c she seems like she’s got downs or something of that nature…she’s defintly not from america….sounds mexican to me….especially with the shitty production
being a mexican myself i kinda felt insulted by your assumption…. so I did my little research and the chick is from Argentina….. you were right about not being from the States.
/facepalm
Yep
Wow. That’s just… awful.
Im Dumb… I was actually expecting that to be good. I admit it you guys got me. Fuckers.
damn what a babe. Ms. Black can only be described as the past, present, and future or brutal metal.
Oh man! I laughed so hard at that! Thank you, MetalSucks, for brightening up my day!
That was fucking awful.
Ha! Great job Axl! This chick sucks bigtime!!!
I’ll bet you $20 that she’s a tranny!
I’ll take that fucking bet!!!
i just lost my appetite.
I was expecting porn
+1
me too actually glad it wasn’t.
I managed less than 2 minutes of the first video…
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!! :( THIS SUCKS
Shit reminds me of Wesley Willis… but not as funny.
Or as mind-blowingly brilliant either.
Is it just me or does she kind of sound more like Cartman mixed with a hint of…what’s that key ingredient..oh yeah, shit?
you are not alone.
I was going to say she sounds like Corky, but Cartman works OK too.
So, what community television station were those videos recorded at?
From her website: “At the age of six, she wrote three short horror novels, (still unpublished to the present time)”
I’m sure the literary world has suffered a great loss.
ROFL
Such riveting peices of literature as “the blue ghost” and “the monster in the basement”
LOL. I’m so glad sarcasm exists.
Lili Von Shtupp?
Then get your freaking feet of the stage!
My question is who are these fucking bags of dicks that are in her “band”? How shitty must you be that THIS is what you decide is a good idea to play music in…OOOF
Sweet tits though
Those tits scare hungry breast feeding children into Similac fits!!!
ha!
Oh shit that was outright awful! Just…I don’t even know. I think laughable would just about describe it but I think she takes herself serious. So that in itself is so so sad.
Oh man, she kinda sounds like Cartman on the first video, didnt have the courage to watch the 2 other…
You’re absolutely right! lmao!
The amount of Gaussian Blur on that picture at the top is hilarious… do her boobs really hang down to her belly button?
Well, that third video will very clearly answer your question.
I feels dirty and creepy after watching that first video…
motorboat
i lol’d
Dude… I started off reading the article thinking you were actually praising her… I died a little.
I girded my loins and watched all of the vids and WOW, Fucking horrible. And fuck yeah she sounds like Cartman. Jebus Christ is that fucking incredibad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God dammit! She reminds me of another goofy black metal chick, but I cannot for the life of me remember her name? Can someone help me out? She does like art performance videos and the quality is even worse than this. The vids I saw were about Hamlet and the other one was like a bloody wedding scene! Help! And If I figure it out I will post it asap!
When she started……vocalizing in he first song, I laughed so hard my glasses fell off. It sounds like Cartman using one of those cheap “voice changer megaphones” kids had in the early 90s.
man i saw that picture and all i could think of was titties….
i mean this is stupid…
but.
the tities are right there…
agreed.. in fact , in the third video, the live one, all I did was staring at her tits the whole time….. I really can tell about the performance
I wonder how many bands members she’s gone through, because there’s no way anyone could be able to play on stage with her and not want to committ suicide.
I always wanted to know what courtney love would sound like in a metal band
wow… in so many ways… wow.
I still have to decide what’s worse: The videos or the songs.
“Eey em thee Mestress ef Seeen.” Man, what a horrible voice she’s got! Just… horrible! Yeah… horrible.
She’s trolling us…
HELLO, EXCUSE ME, WHAT KIND OF COMMENTS DOES THE ADMINISTRATOR OF THIS SITE ALLOWS HERE?? IT’S ABSOLUTELLY IRREVERENT WITH ANY ARTIST!!! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?? WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?? ASSHOLES!!
