Self-described Satanist Lord Ahriman, lead singer for the Swedish black-metal band Dark Funeral, is scream-growling at an internal-organ-rattling volume inside Jaxx's concert hall. Thrilled fans, many of them teenagers clad in black, shoot Devil-horn hand signs into the air. A horned, fang-toothed man-beast roars from a massive banner across the stage.
Most common T-shirt of the night: "The day you die is the day I smile." Most common adjective: brutal (in a good way). Most common piece of jewelry: It's a tie between chains and upside-down crosses.

"The more intelligent you are, the more unlikely you are to believe in God; it's a fact," says Bittinger, drinking a beer with a group of childhood friends. "People in the underground scene tend to have higher IQs -- my own being 143."
Bittinger is a good example of a black-metal fan because he's actually quite interested in religion. He is well read on the occult and the dark arts. Though not a Satanist, he can easily rattle off different Satanist sects, and he mocks black-metal fans who don't know that Saint Peter is said to have died upon an inverted cross. He knows all about black metal's connection with violence. (In the 1990s in Norway, members of two bands committed murder, and another group's lead singer killed himself; meanwhile, fans burned dozens of churches in a supposed tribute to pagan traditions wiped out by Christianity.) And Bittinger identifies strongly with the genre's clear theme: the role of evil in humankind and the world.
"Black metal is an outlet for darker things," he says. "It's mostly driven by anger, frustration, dark thoughts."

Exactly! Kraft makes Vegemite. We used to be able to get it in the Albertson's in Broken Arrow, OK. It's good on fried-egg sandwiches; tastes a lot like beef bouillon.
Tom Dooley said Annie Melton stabbed Laura and Tom covered up.
Years later Doc's grandma said she was the next room when Annie Melton died. The women in the room said there were sounds coming from Annie's bedroom that sounded like hot stones tossed into cold water and the flames of h#ll. Annie told the women that if she didn't get well again, she had something to tell them.
She told her husband the secret right before she died, and he was said to have lost his mind.
Shoot. Vampires and Zombies, wouldn’t you know.
Well, Doc has that Southron propensity to spin some yarns. I love to hear those stories though - it’s a creepy mountain murder story.
And it might even be true. The important part is the banjo :-).
The most evil musician I’ve ever heard of is GG Allin, a punk singer. He’s dead now.
There's a lot of that (creepy damnation stories) going around in the mountains. Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord.
LOL
So . . . sexual sin is “cool,” but “social injustice” has to be wiped out?
Umm since when is this unknown? An excellent book about Norway’s death metal culture is “Lords of Chaos”
Tampa, Florida is also a popular in the Death Metal circuit.
They were the last 2 targets of the PMRC.
Anyways I hope I don’t get in trouble for this but it’s so funny it cracks me up every time I listen to “evil Joe” looking for a “black” metal guitarist.
Warning very crude language.
Ha!
excellent!
I have become a full blown Marmite fanatic in the last few days. It is fantastic on a triscuit with mozarella cheese. My wife spit it out and it made my daughter cry. But I don’t care! Last night I came home from a meeting at 9:30 and my first thought was Marmite. I kissed my wife and chatted with her . . . but my heart and mind were set on Marmite.
LOL! As new dietary enthusiasms go, Marmite is healthier than fois gras :=).
fois gras
_______________
Good source of iron and vitamins. Seriously. Moderation is required of course but I want to add a little pate to our diet.
Maybe it’s good with Marmite. Won’t know until you try!
It could be good — foie gras and marmite. B vitamins + magnesium. Salt and fat. Oh, glory!
Not quite to my taste, I have to say.
