Guest DARRYLXWF Report post Posted August 2, 2003 We are Thoth and we bring you hate. We hate you for coming to our web site. We curse your ancestors and your children. As you leave our web site, we hope you die miserably in a seething pit of Satan's goo!!! Thoth represents perversion, sickness, and blasphemy. We spit in the face of the Judeo-Christian monotheistic god. Hail Satan. Hail Belphegor. Hail Shub-Niggurath. Hail Ienkia. Hail Greubla and Ballak Shaqaziel the gods of filth. You may be noticing a slight feeling of nausea and a paralyzing grip coming over your soul. We are the apocalyptic riders bringing forth a new world order of sado-masochistic delight. Come, join us and feast on the flesh of the inferior Christians. Let us dance in the macabre darkness of the forest of filthy whores under the misty and pale moon light...

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted August 3, 2003 Actually, Phil, corpse paint is a fairly popular look in Black Metal. I think it's fucking retarded, but I feel the same way when Kiss does it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Steviekick Report post Posted August 4, 2003 A somewhat distant version of corpse paint goes back to the Viking/Germanic tribe times. I think it was to protect them in battle, and to protect their corpse after battle. Here are some more thoughts on it: from http://www.metal-observer.com/gb/articles/...orpsepaint.html What Is The Purpose and Meaning Of Corpse-Paint? Ah, the old corpse-paint question..... How many times have I answered this one over the years? It is my understanding that the purpose of corpse-paint, in addition to being primarily an aesthetic part of the stage show (along with spikes, leather, demonic/evil imagery and artwork, fog, and other miscellaneous stage props, etc.), is utilized by Black Metal practitioners to help portray their personal allegiance to the darker side/instincts of human nature, as a means of personal expression (with the unique individual designs), to invoke a sense of other worldly power/might, and to pay homage to their ancestors (and perhaps ancient culture?) that have since passed on into shadow. It also acts as an artistic catalyst to help convey our deep-rooted, unspoken dreams and fantasies …. and Black Metal music is the path of that expression. To quote Ihsahn of the now-defunct Black Metal icons EMPEROR: "Corpse paint is an essential mark of Black Metal. The atmosphere it creates visualizes the most grim and macabre nature of the artist. The dark forces reflect my soul and it is within them that I learn to create." Hell, some bands even wear corpse-paint to pay tribute their influences!! A great deal of today's bands wear 'the paint' simply due to the fundamental influence of groups like CELTIC FROST, DARKTHRONE, MAYHEM, IMPALER, and EMPEROR (among others) who pioneered the use of corpse-paint in the early, critical days of extreme Metal. Especially for Scandinavian/European bands (whose direct pagan/Viking heritage was essentially put to death by Christianity), perhaps this is a way for them to metaphorically strike fear into the Christian hordes by portraying themselves as the "dead who have returned for vengeance upon mankind"?? To quote the common Metal fan, unschooled in the ways of Black Metal: "How does putting makeup on your face make you look "evil"?" To that, let me ask this … Just how does a sexy pop video with tons of no-talent, half-naked sluts dancing around manage to be the main (and oft-times ONLY) marketing tool in selling shit- loads of useless/terrible records and discs to an unsuspecting general public?? For some people - it just works! It's "part and parcel" of the whole package - it's essential to the genre's visual identity as well as its theoretical aspect in the artist's performance. To quote Wrath from AVERSE SEFIRA (the most profound Black Metal band to emerge thus far from the United States): "We, the messengers, the purveyors of the art, must set ourselves apart from our audience lest we appear mortal and finite. Black Metal once had a sense of wonder and limitless perception. It was a way of projecting, transcending. Corpse paint is the outward facet, the physical presentation of the music, the rejection of human form. Our paint has significance attached to the larger aesthetic in that it represents being blinded by the crown of thorns, and our mouths sewn shut to prevent our speaking the truth. Some bands no longer use paint as it was never appropriate to begin with. In such cases I respect their decision. However, there are other bands that were defined in part by these elements and the subsequent removal broke the black magick spell that made their music transcendent and profound. I do not see it as a coincidence that most of these bands released increasingly disappointing work after removing the paint." You may not necessarily find corpse-paint "evil" in the plain light of day, but under the proper circumstances (for example - a Metal show), it definitely adds to the overall Metal atmosphere/experience. Sure, some Black Metal bands look absolutely silly in corpse-paint. I'm referring to those whose main objective is to simply "look evil" regardless of the music it is meant to enhance. These wayward bands deem it necessary to don 'the paint' purely as a gimmick, but I feel that it is still relevant by certain credible bands (MARDUK, DARK FUNERAL, ENTHRONED, IMMORTAL, et. al) Regardless of the growing misuse/disuse by many of today's newest Metal bands (as well as some of the founding practitioners), I feel that through time, corpse-paint has become a critical element of Black Metal and to lose corpse-paint due to the fact that some people in the Metal community find it wholly ridiculous and laughable, would mean abandoning one of the pioneering and defining aspects of the Black Metal genre.
