The linguistics of Black Metal, and how to translate common English phrases into the Dark Lord's Tongue

Are you talking about Madonna’s book or am I missing out on something else?

Where does Entombed fit into all of this?

How about Cookie Monster?

You mean these guys?

Since I grew up in the 80s, I actually don’t mind Madonna singing about her vagina, lol. I was thinking more about [insert any controversial modern pop singer here], and I’m not against sexuality in music, but I am against banality and tired commercialism.

I know, right? It’s like finding out about a nationwide murder cult based on, I dunno, Super Mario Brothers. Victims are bound, dressed up like Koopas, and stomped to death by a crowd of mustachioed men in overalls, solemnly droning the theme music in perfect unison. I feel like I ought to be horrified, but I can’t get past how ridiculous they are.

Yep, that’d be them.

Don’t forget the radical nationalism. Burzum guy… Varg Vikens? He indeed took it seriously.

Edit - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varg_Vikernes had the name a little wrong.

If all this aggressive language makes you hungry, you can go check out Vegan Black Metal Chef’s cooking shows on YouTube. “Cut the tofu! With your knife! You don’t have to use a knife that’s as awesome as mine!” “Call up fire from the dark ones - medium high should do!”
