So, I'm pissed. Furious even! Electric Wizard is playing close to me, April 17th at Slim's in San Francisco. I would totally go. They are one of my top stoner doom bands. I got the debut back in 1995 when it was released.
But, A S S H A T scalpers bought all the tickets and are now selling them on Stubhub for $150 a piece. What total bull$hit.

Well, dating a male fashion designer doesn't exactly fit in with the kvlt misanthropic Satanic image. That kind of burst my bubble when I read about that....Gorgoroth being my first real BM foray. Before that, I was pretty convinced of their orthodoxy. In general, though, I believe the music either stands on it's own merits or not irrespective of lifestyle choices that concern me not. Most metalheads I know didn't throw away thier Judas Preist albums.
Fusing electronica and metal is an interesting proposition. I'm not sure it's been definitely done. Altars of Plagues gave it a good stab. Why the Heathens Rage is really an electronic album with a BM theme. BM permeates the whole album. But, It's too techno to be metal and too Satanic themed to really be EDM. But, I like it as something totally left of field. The Satanic lyrics really come through in an electronic format vs being buried in the mix. The guy has serious interest in BM. A gay satanic electronic BM album. Talk about out of the box. Kind of crazy.

Well it just shows that Gaahl does not fit the understood norm of what we expect a Black Metal musician to be like. When Burzum was locked up guitars were not allowed so me made synth records. Even though they have that dreamy trance like quality of later Burzum, I would guess they are not considered favorites of his fans. I own one Burzum ambient CD and never play it.
Synths can be completely infused into Black Metal. If we are open minded to allow the creativity to become whatever it may. You also have a group of fans believing that the second wave is over and Black Metal has ended.
Even with the above statement said, it is up to the listener to determine if Black Metal is ongoing in the second wave, though with bands like Watain, I still think it is even in original form.

Streaming Dark Space 111.1. As someone who still purchases CDs on Amazon, local Record and Tape Trader store, etc.,I wish I could find a CD version available vs the MPW3 download available.
I like a hard copy for my car, take on a trip, throw in a cheap CD player if I want to at work, etc. Kind of old school that way-even though I could just burn a download. I have a fantasy if there is an apocalypse, my CDs might survive on a desert island...oh, but I would need a power source.

In Sept of 2014 they only made 500 copies of Darkspace 111.1.
But........I don't know if these are it. Darkspace 1 and 11 are still for sale on EBay.

Do what thou wilt, shall be the whole of the law...gaahl is a better 'satanist' than many. Misanthropy is not required...just encouraged
Really electronics and BM were married with Bathory and his synth soundscapes...

Agreed. I'm just poking fun. I'm really pretty progressive when it comes to sexual orientations. I just had this grim and frostbitten image of him. I'd probably think the same thing if he dated Taylor Swift or Selena Gomez
I thought his vocal work on Incipit Satan, Twilight of the Idols and especially Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam were terrific. That was one of the better metal albums from '06 IMO. Gorgoroth and Marduk were two of the BM bands I first started listening to and I still think he and Mortuus are two of the more skilled BM vocalists. Twilight of the Idols, Ad Majorem Sathanas , Plague Angel, Rom and Wormwood are some of my favorite established BM albums from that time period with a nod to Marduk as being in the forefront for me until more recent USBM have produced some really interesting music for me-Ashes Against The Grain was an important album for me at the time in terms of my growing interest in the genre.
