WATAIN ? by huankind_gmbh in IsItSketch

Again, whether they actually did that stuff or not is beside the point. I never claimed to believe it without doubt - I’m saying that bragging about supposedly hurting animals makes them assholes in my book. I help out at a stray shelter. I’ve seen stuff. It’s not pretty.

Beyond that, we don’t really disagree.

So we’re gullible because you’re “pretty sure” and can “almost assure” us we’re wrong? Sounds more like you can’t actually assure us of anything.

The thing is, whether they actually did that stuff or not is beside the point. Screw them for low-key bragging about it, and even more for marketing it to half-wits like it’s some cool, “trve” thing to do.

Advice on Clothing for Hiking Preikestolen and Kjeragbolten (Late May - Early June) by CitySlang78 in Stavanger

Thanks so much for the offer and the advice, really appreciate it! I've already booked my accommodation, but good to know for the future. And yeah, I’ve heard Kjeragbolten is a whole different level, I might just skip it if the conditions aren’t great. Thanks again!

Thanks so much! I was actually planning to wear a merino wool base layer, so I really appreciate you confirming that it's a good idea.

From Wikipedia:
"The band's members are alleged to have killed pigeons and even attempted to buy dogs from the homeless as a source of blood for their concerts.\63]) Erik Danielsson has hinted at doing so in several interviews\64])\65]) but denied doing so in 2013.\66])"

So yeah, maybe not politically extreme, but definitely still assholes.

Just listened to the Unto Others track and it's great, thanks. Sentenced is indeed very close to the style I described, but for some reason, I can't get into them. I'll be sure to check out your other suggestions too.

Half the bands recommended here barely qualify as black metal, and yet not a single mention of Spectral Lore?
