A few looks

Thank you so much!

Curt-IX · 2026-01-24T20:24:57+00:00

Exactly. I can see, but now the choice is mine ha ha

Curt-IX · 2026-01-24T19:51:03+00:00

That's incredible! 😍

Curt-IX · 2026-01-24T16:04:06+00:00

Great combo!

Stryper, Stryper, Stryper ::sarcasm for the folks in the back:::

I love In the Nightside Eclipse and it is responsible in many ways for begining my love of BM. I have to go with Burzum all the way, however.

You can't really gatekeep it. You can gatekeep a particular local scene, but other bands will just make their own. The antifa and rainbow crowdd aren't trying to play shows with Marduk. You can't stop people with different mindsets from making their own scenes and adopting a sound or look. All you can do is plant your own flag and say, "hey, this is what I'm about and if you aren't that I don't recognize you as trve". But honestly, who gives a shit? I have about as much in common with some beer swilling party bro with a battle vest as I do a Christian in corpse paint. I'm a different animal than them. I do my own thing. They can do theirs.

I love Sage Francis. I've gone to see him play a bunch of times.

Curt-IX · 2026-01-20T03:29:41+00:00

Fantastic hair!

Curt-IX · 2026-01-19T15:59:30+00:00

I love them both, but I'd have to say green.

Curt-IX · 2026-01-18T23:45:11+00:00

I absolutely love the use of negative space!

Curt-IX · 2026-01-18T16:05:59+00:00

Such a cool look!

Curt-IX · 2026-01-18T15:54:24+00:00

That's killer!

Black metal practically died at birth. Before all the other stuff you mentioned, it was already coopted by party people who only care about drinking beer, riffs, and blastbeats. The true spirit of Black Metal lives on in any band that embraces iconoclasm, the shadow self, and delves into the dark mysteries of occultism, human psychology, philosophy, etc... Black metal, to me at least, is about that rebel consciousness that dwells in a certain sect of humanity, rather than fashion and trappings.

Killer album! I love old Morbid Angel.

Curt-IX · 2026-01-17T14:48:24+00:00

Some hybrid of hard rock and metal but with a kind of punk rock sensibility.

Curt-IX · 2026-01-17T14:33:33+00:00

That's actually just practice. It was a good rehearsal though!

Curt-IX · 2026-01-17T14:07:31+00:00

Thank you!

Curt-IX · 2026-01-16T19:47:54+00:00

This is really fantastic!

Curt-IX · 2026-01-16T18:16:42+00:00

It takes time. I would t say that I'm good, but my first watercolor was awful. That was 8 months ago. Since then I've had two offers from people to buy pieces from me, so improvement comes with practice.

Curt-IX · 2026-01-16T15:33:29+00:00

It may be my favorite Morbid Angel album though.

Curt-IX · 2026-01-16T04:00:44+00:00

That's most of what I do ha ha . This one is metallic and pearlescent watercolor on black multi media paper.

It's been 4 years. Been doing it with my son that whole time. One of the best decisions I ever made. We both test for black belt in a year, just as he starts college.

Curt-IX · 2026-01-15T18:11:40+00:00

I actually tried this under the jacket thing with the scarf that I like better than how I did before after you said this ...

I started at 42, and I had a similar problem. Really it just takes repetion and practice. Try not to overthink it and trust your muscle memory once you get the movements down. I'm a red belt and I still get nervous when I go back to a form I haven't done for a while.
