Black Metal Theory

Black Metal is often irrelevant to many of those in Southern California, at least in the area in which I reside. As of late, there has been a recent exposure, one that I don't quite agree with. As Euronymous has stated a number of times, what use is there to spread a message to those who are already aware of it? But then again, Wrath of Averse Sefira has said, Black Metal is an art yet it attracts many stupid individuals who fail to embrace the whole notion of it.

Until the Light Takes Us is a documentary that seems to be quite successful, I have yet to watch it. I missed the first screening, it seemed to have sold out quick! Second one is passing my radar, unfortunately. Although it doesn't seem to consist anything relatively new to those who have read up on Euronymous and Varg and their stupid conflict, but it still attracts. Primarily, those who aren't into it, flock to the event. Ironically, as soon as they delve deeper, the numbers become smaller.

Here is another interpretation of Black Metal to those which are unfamiliar.

Black Metal is an art and it is unnecessary to ask what it is, one should feel the emotion not read up on it and assume the stance of devotion. It wasn't instant that I was listening to black metal religiously, nor was it instant that I began to create my own sort of ideology around the art.

One thing that has come out of this that can be positive, the vast vocabulary and intricate research may dispel those that believe it is music and nothing more.
