Why do people like Black Metal? (video)
(The Punk Rock MBA)
Get BAM for Metal (apps.apple.com/app...).
Why do people like black metal, which is the darkest metal of all? It's most beloved not by Blacks but by Norwegians. This explains: the history of black metal from Bathory and Venom to Mayhem, Darkthrone, Emperor, Burzum, Immortal, and Deafheaven; the role of larger than life characters like Varg Vikernes, Euronymous, and Abbath; how it was a reaction to 1990s' death metal: the way they dressed, the art of Dan Seagrave, etc; some black metal bands I like such as Havohej, Abruptum, and Aakon Ketereh; how the shocking imagery, corpse paint, spikes, raw production, and so forth made it stand out; the church burnings and other events seen in Lords of Chaos; some marketing tips YOU can use to promote your band, product, or creative project; and, of course, lots of funny black metal moments.
The strange popularity of Gojira (and what it says about metal fans)
(The Punk Rock MBA, 2/28/22) What explains the strange popularity of French hardcore metal band Gojira? Some of what I look at: Gojira's history including "The Link," "From Mars to Sirius," "Flying Whales," and "The Way of All Flesh" and evolution from death metal to groove metal; why Joe Duplantier's vocals and Mario Duplantier's drumming are so important; how Metallica and Lamb of God gave Gojira their big breaks. 🎉 patreon.com/thepunkrockmba
