Metal Heads ITT

[spockrock]

so does using Ubuntu Satanic Edition make you TRV KVLT?

[STREETURCHINE]

i could answer it better if i knew what trv kvlt stood for:D

[steven8]

Perhaps if you were a metal Head, you would know what they mean. That goes for me as well. :-)

[spockrock]

um... just means trv is just true, but just an annoying way I say it.... and this is what KVLT (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=kvlt&r=f) is.

and yes being a metal head would help in know what that means.

[STREETURCHINE]

i would not say it was annoying, just us older folk just dont know that language,hey but i am learning fast..lol :D

[spockrock]

oh who ever voted no is not black metalz.

[STREETURCHINE]

oops guilty,:rolleyes:

[spockrock]

its ok this poll should be taken with humorously hopefully.

^^ kvlt......

on a side note I am going to see dark funeral in less then a month, and I can't be more excited....anyone else here plan on seeing them with enslaved and abigail williams (another good band)

[STREETURCHINE]

yes i hope so ,i have ubuntu se on my outher hd with edgy. on this hard drive dapper and i use the Aquatic desktop ,rather cool,:)

[steven8]

Ah, thanks for the link. I just didn't know what it meant. I may be old. 41, in fact, but I grew up with the Sex Pistols and the Damned and even further back Alice Cooper, KISS and so forth. I have the lived the life of an 'outcast' for liking many of the things I liked and thinking many of things I espoused. Now, since I am old, after typing all of that, I just plain forgot where I was going with this whole post. Man!, what they say about the mind going is really true! :-)

Okay, I clicked the link to refresh my memory. I'd say the Ubuntu SE is trv KVLT.

Also, I really miss vinyl albums for real, not just as a retro thing.

[spockrock]

yes SE is prolly the greatest thing to happen to a linux distro......I still say they should put a pentagram with the goats head in the circle like this....

well vinyl has that really warm sound to it, vinyl is great but sadly over play the record and it starts sounding bad.......

[steven8]

That is the beauty of vinyl. When I put on a 1965 Kink's album, I want to feel like I'm back in 1965! I love the pop-crackle-and-hiss!

Hi Guys,

Glad to see that Ubuntu SE is being associated with the music which inspired it in the first place!

...although coz I'm that bit older it's more the classic Slayer, Maiden, Sabbath stuff for me.

[parker13]

Oh, and I have a few pentagrams in my Gimp folder which didn't make the final cut. I'll resurrect them once I've spent a bit more time on them.

There are some great ones on Deviant Art, but I've been careful not to nick any copyrighted work...

oh man dude black metal fans would love this, especially the Norwegian variety, guys from emperor, and burzum did burn down historic Christian churches......(thats acctually tragic to me cause while not Christian they were really old historic sites)....but yeah black metal bands are all about satan.

am I the only one on this board that listen to the more 'extreme' metal, like the death/black, grind, goregrind varieties???

yeah plx dont use that pentagram, its a ps brush, (ok I know, sorry I just prefer photoshop over gimp) and I dunno if thats copy righted or not, I have no plan on distributing it I just threw that out as an Idea. Also I would love to help with the SE edition........if you need some one to do some grunt work etc etc......

[steven8]

I don't know much of korn, but I like The Offspring. I like Rancid and Bad Religion too. bad religion, to me, is like the new Dead Kennedys.

[spockrock]

I would say offspring, bad religion and dead kennedys to be punk, but to each their own. Korn I would say is that unsavory(sp?) nu-metal. but then again I think I am alone is the kinds of metal I listen to.

[STREETURCHINE]

have not heard much of them so i could not say one way or the outher,but i shall find some of there music and download it and have a listen.......

[yabbadabbadont]

I don't know much of korn, but I like The Offspring. I like Rancid and Bad Religion too. bad religion, to me, is like the new Dead Kennedys.

KISS - Destroyer was a nice present from an aunt of mine one Christmas. (She really enjoyed annoying my parents... :lol:) ((oh, 41 here too))

[steven8]

I apologize for derailing your thread, spockjock, but you know how it is when old folks get out on the porch in their rockers. . .they just talk and talk and talk about 'the good old days'.

I'll leave your thread alone now. :-)

[spockrock]

hahahha, no way its cool..... no worries, plx, continue, I love thread hijackings, I love seeing how a thread changes direction, plx continue, in fact I encourage thread hijackings, lol I hope that doesn't mean I am Al'Quida (sp?).......

this is just an open ended metal head thread so plx continue.... I hope people start posting metal bands people should check out.

[yabbadabbadont]

Ok, Ok, now for something (sort of) on-topic. Would listening to Gothic Trance music qualify for TRV KVLT? ;)

[mcduck]

I wouldn't say "TRV KVLT" about anything. Whatever those letters mean. I'm a metalhead, but not native english-speaker and I sure don't care much about acronyms like that..

Anyway, I prefer trash, death and black metal. Pretty much anything goes but I'm not a big fan of numetal.

Finntroll, Anthrax, Slayer, Pantera, Amorphis and Sentenced would probably be my favourites.. Of course some old Megadeth and Black Sabbath too.

Sorry for all you people but best metal comes from Finland and Norway! :twisted:

ok. I checked the Urban Dictionary and understood that would mean 'true cult'? Saying it like 'trv kvlt' ispossibly the most stupid thing I've ever seen :D

[spockrock]

lol TRV KVLT is in the eye of the beholder, some black metal kids call bands who claim they want their sound to be grim and frostbitten so they record their music on mono on a tape deck in a metal garbage can to hide the fact that they cannot play their instruments......... I say any metal band thats good is kvlt to me, and yes kvlt is silly to me hence why I used it in teh thread. lol

yeah I agree its pretty stupid.....

dude I was just listening to finntroll (<3)........but yeah I myself like bands like cannibal corpse, cattle decapitation, the black dahlia murder, suicide silence, the funeral pyre, emperor, bolt thrower, suidakra, anata, aborted, dragonforce, children of bodom, as i lay dying, from a second story window, converge, cryptopsy, dark funeral, ****...I'm Dead, gorerotted, voltron, animals killing people, impending doom, immortal, dark funeral, kataklysm

ps sorry for using the fword, but thats thier name :s

umm I would say sweden and norway.... norway owns black metal hands down......

[steven8]

It kind of goes against the code of conduct to be calling someone else's ideas 'stupid'. It may not be how you think it should be, but 'stupid' is not the term to use.

[parker13]

On the subject of metal and Ubuntu, I have to say that my guitar is the only reason I still (occasionally) run Windows. I have a Line 6 Pod XT and it only works with Windows.

It would be great to hook up my matte black Gibson Explorer to Ubuntu Satanic Edition and let rip!

It makes me frostbitten and inverted. Oh, no it doesn't as there isn't a KDE version :(. Hope there will be one when Furious Phoenix is released though.

ok, in that case I suppose I can take it with some humor and vote for 'trv kvlt' :D

I wasn't exactly calling the poster of this thread stupid , or even targeting any person, so I figured it would be ok. . But if anybody has any issues with that I'm happy to edit the post. :)

It's just that I'm not a native english speaker and that was the only way I could think of to express my opinion about this thing we are voting about. There isn't suitable option in the poll.

[steven8]

That's cool. I'm a little touchy in the middle of the night sometimes. If the OP was not offended, that is what matters most!

No, you are not. Black Metal, Death Metal, Blackened Death Metal, GoreGrind, GrindCore, SludgeCore, Viking Metal... I live for that stuff.

I highly doubt Burzum (aka Varg Vikernes) would be down with SE. In prison, he's changed his tune considerably, going from a Nationalist-almost Fascist persona to what he now calls Odinist and now completely disavows his former church-burning, bandmate-stabbing, Satanist past. He has said in interviews that upon release (whenever that may be, since he got busted in 2003 after escaping prison with a bunch or assault rifles, going to do who-knows-what) he will record two more albums that in style will be similar to his earlier records, but that Black Metal doesn't much interest him. Still, love the dude. Burzum rocks.

My high point this year is definitely going to be getting to see Immortal, reunited and playing B.B. King's, here in NYC.

I'd disagree that Black Metal bands are "all about Satan". Yes, Satanic themes, imagery and whatnot are prevalent, but much of it if also fixated on the occult, death, historical tragedy like the Black Plague and other dark elements. Take Immortal for example, who sets their music in some fantasy world called "Blashyrkh", ruled by the "God of Mighty Ravendark". Or take Carpathian Forest, which while many songs are Satanic, also adds references to basic nihilism, suicide, drugs and perversion. But yes, Satan kind of rules the roost in that genre-as it should.

yeah I know all about Burzum, and how is he went from black metal to national socialist to from what I heard just a regular christian guy now.

ummm yeah I do agree, black metal isn't all about Satan......I am Jealous you are seeing Immortal, thats amazing.......

I just saw dark funeral this past saturday, and those guys were so awesome. I loved every second of those guys. and yes anyone wondering a lot of dark funerals imagery and songs are about satan/satanism.

[davebgimp]

Whoa, that gave me pause...had to check it out (http://www.burzum.org).

I had it wrong, his term is Odalist (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odalism), which I take from his writing to be a modern interpretation of Nordic Paganism and it seems he's still professing it, as well as a general hatred for modern civilization and Judeo-Christianity in general.

[Wartooth]

I listen to a lot of varieties of metal, but I am pickiest about Black and Death. If you aren't enunciating, I won't listen. I also can't stand the horrible recording quality, as mentioned above, where it's recorded on Mom's 20 year old dictaphone. That doesn't make it sound "cold", it makes it sound unintelligible.

I like stuff like Amon Amarth, Opeth, Dark Tranquillity, Bathory, CoB, Arch Enemy, Dimmu Borgir, all of which are "disputable" as to what genres they are, at least from the arguments I've read online (save for perhaps, Bathory), but I also have no worries about whether someone finds me tr00 or kvlt. I'm too old for that ;P I just listen to what I like. I also dig things like Korpiklaani, Ensiferum, Finntroll, etc. where the vocals are harsh, but the music is folk-based.

Anyway, I get a kick out of the SE thing, and have thought about installing it for a laugh.

[spockrock]

ahhh I stand corrected........

btw is I am so disappointed that Immortal are only playing NY and LA on their reunion, I might just drive the 5-8 hours to New York just to see this show.....

did you happen to get your username from Toki Wartooth the character from Metalocalypse, because that show is awesome and toki wartooth, is probably my favorite character on that show.

That show is amazing I love the subtle and sometimes not so subtle references real life metal bands, and events.

[Wartooth]

HAHA, yea, Toki is my favorite. Metalocalypse is the best show on TV. EVER. \m/

Carpathian Forest High School, Dimmu Burger, Burzum's, and so much more. I think it's a riot they've gotten folks from Nevermore, Arch Enemy, and even King Diamond to do guest voices. Freakin' brilliant!

I'm dying for the new season, and some official merch! I'll admit, I've bought a sticker and a hoodie that aren't "official", but I had to have it. :) It's the simple things in life, ya know?

[davebgimp]

hahhaa yeah demon burger, also my favs were in the second episode the super market was finntrolls (love that band) and in the first episode they referenced Mayham (guy blowing his head off and making it into an album cover, their second vocalist who went by the stage name Dead, blew his brains out, and the guys from the band took a picture and made it their album cover).

yeah also George 'Corpse Grinder' Fischer (vocalist from cannibal corpse) was also on the show.......

Also where did you get the hoodie, I would kill for a dethklok hoodie, ahahhahaha......so far I dont think Brandon Small has made one bad cartoon yet.....

Also if you play video games, on Guitar Hero 2 one of the songs you can unlock is dethkloks Thunderhorse......I am seriously getting the game just for that one song, lol. Its rediculous to play but what else do you expect from the guitar wizardry of the worlds fastest and tallest guitarist and the worlds second fastest guitarist........

ooh man its 60US dollars, not to mention the drive from Canada to the US, the boarder hassles, and not to mention I am an Australian Citizen, looks like I am gonna grab a couple of friends and make this into a road trip........

Yup. Saw Amon Amarth in Brooklyn a few years back as well. That was cool. Wicked small club, big Viking sound.

I would saw my own legs off to see emperor, and yes amon armath are amazing...... *sigh* well I am seeing goat ***** next month and the month after that kataklysm.....woot.

[davebgimp]

Someone earlier in the thread was mentioning that they didn't care for some of Black Metal's lo-fi sound... I can understand that. I've just grown to appreciate it. Some bands like DarkThrone are intentionally lo-fi. Others, especially early Black Metal bands were a bunch of kids, scraping together the equipment they could afford or borrow, much like the old DIY American hardcore punk bands I liked as a kid (can anyone say Black Flag?). It's the good Black Metal that transcends it's technical limits to sound good. In some cases, like Burzum, if it wasn't lo-fi, it wouldn't be right.

Here's a funny quote by Varg Vikernes of Burzum:

When it came to guitar amplifiers all the Death Metal guys told me that the way to get the "right" (trendy) sound was to use Marshall amps, and since I didn't like that sound I bought a Pivee (Pivey?) amp and used that instead. On "Filosofem" I didn't use a guitar amplifier at all, but instead used only the amplifier on my brother's stereo (that of course was not intended for that use) and some old fuzz pedals.

For "singing" I used whatever microphone the sound technician handed me, or - when I recorded "Filosofem" - I asked for the worst microphone he had, and ended up using the microphone in a headset.

Filosofem is my favorite Burzum album. \m/

[davebgimp]

Funny thing about Amon Amarth... I had a couple beers with their bassist and apparently they all have day jobs. When they tour, they have to take time off.

I really like Kataklysm, especially their last album. Not so hot on their vocals though.

yeah there are a few bands that have to do that I know in punk, propagandi all have jobs as well. but yeah I imagine playing in a viking metal band can not be all that prosperous.

Umm about the lo-fi I hate when bands do it intentionally for the cold and frosbitten sound, I dont mind say listening to emperors in the wrath of the tryrant album, because that is a demo and ofcourse done with what they had as kids/teens.

Also have you guys seen the ruthless reviews worst black metal pics...
NSFW (http://www.ruthlessreviews.com/reviews.cfm/id/976/page/_the_other__top____most_ridiculous_black_metal_pic s_of_all_time.html)



Rock out with your **** out!! Really, why say anything else? This photo encapsulates the best of what black metal has given us over the years. The poor guy’s **** n’ balls ripped through his pants, yet in the true spirit of evil, he just kept on rockin’. And why shouldn’t he? Forget the spikes and chains because your **** is as metal as it gets.

^^ a sample of the greatness that is.....

Hi Guys,

Glad to see that Ubuntu SE is being associated with the music which inspired it in the first place!

...although coz I'm that bit older it's more the classic Slayer, Maiden, Sabbath stuff for me.
