Top VoiceMetal News The best of heavy metal news, interviews, releases and other useful information on Voicemetal (page 9). • Infernus Interview: "We Want Gorgoroth Music on MTV!" When it comes to bands that call themselves nominally "black metal", but engage in what is really screamo goth rock or, in the present case, nu-metal, Dimmu borgir and Cradle of Filth are probably at the top of the list. But Gorgoroth isn't very far down,...• Shagrath and Silenoz: "Dimmu Borgir could cover ABBA or the Bee Gees" Dimmu Borgir. Perhaps the most controversial black metal band in existence. Even more than controversial, the proper term for Dimmu Borgir I think is polarising. Either love them or hate them, you won't find a single metalhead alive who "doesn't have an o...• Darkthrone's Fenriz Interview: "We ARE the Raw Black Metal!" Darkthrone started out as a death metal band, and their 1991 album Soulside Journey reflects that. Since then, they got rid of their bassist Dag Nilsen, who "hated black metal", and eventually - sometime after the release of Under a Funeral Moon - their m...• Nocturno Culto: "Black Metal Has Lost Its Way" When people think of Darkthrone, their minds immediately jump to the charismatic frontman Fenriz... normal, you'd say, as he's the one who gives most interviews, and who has more "presence". But to disregard the influence of Ted "Nocturno Culto" Skjell...• Nargaroth Interview: "Black Metal is Dead to Me!" Nargaroth has long been known for its controversial positions within the black metal scene. Hated by some for their extreme and radical views, and annoying to others for Kanwulf's early history of fabricating ridiculous stories - like how he planned to...• The Enigmatic Dimmu Borgir, "True" Black Sheep of Metal? Recently we have written quite a bit about Dimmu Borgir, the band. It started out with a recently unearthed interview of Satyr from Satyricon, who disparages modern "black metal in name only" bands, on the grounds that they weren't there from the inceptio...• Shagrath Fires Back at Dimmu Borgir Haters: "Grow Up!" Flashy, controversial, arrogant, boisterous perhaps... but also sincere, straight-talking and honest in his opinions and straightforward in his views, such are a few words that could describe Dimmu Borgir's enigmatic frontman Shagrath. The man, the "legen...• Satyricon Attacks Dimmu Borgir: "Black Metal is Transgressive!" In recent years, many formerly "black metal" bands have put forth a new sound, and a new image. More timid, more effeminate, attempting to appeal to the "spiritual but not religious" Starbucks dwellers, who branched over from emo goth rock to depressive (...• Deicide's Glen Benton Fires Back at SLIPKNOT and NU-METAL Many would say that modern Deicide's sound is itself a particularly bad version of nu-metal, but that didn't stop the band's frontman Glen Benton from attacking the genre as "effeminate" and "f-ggy" in a recent interview with MetalZone. Benton has over...• Is "In The Nightside Eclipse" the proto-Dimmu Borgir album? As a long-time fan of black metal, the one album I keep neglecting is Emperor's "In the Nightside Eclipse." That alone is a big tell sign that it might be overrated. I usually don't mind listening an album over and over again, if it is good: see "Hvis ...Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18Tweet Share
