Gaahl, gay or true?

OK, we all know that Gaahl of Gorgoroth has just come out of the closet. We also know now that he is planning on releasing a clothing line with his French designer boyfriend. We also know the the biggest afront to God and Christianity would be homosexuality. So with all this in mind, this bears teh question, is Gaahl's being ghey, trve, kvlt and antichristian? Or is he just a fag?
Of course we have to look at it this way, Gorgoroth is the trvest, most kvltest, most heavy, most Satanic band out there and then Gaahl comes out about liking danglers. :O
I can't begin to answer this question. All I can say is I hope Necrobutcher from Mayhem doesn't come out to. That would be a low blow.

Mayhem - Freezing Moon

Everything here is so cold
Everything here is so dark
I remember it as from a dream
In the corner of this time

Diabolic shapes float by
Out from the dark
I remember it was here I died
By following the freezing moon

It's night again
Night you beautiful
I please my hunger
On living humans
Night of hunger
Follow it's call
Follow the freezing moon

Darkness is growing
The eternity opens
The cemetery lights up again
As in ancient times
Fallen souls die behind my steps
By following the freezing moon

Just beautiful, almost surreal. Beauty from non-beauty

New Metallica

I don't how many people here have listened to the new single of Metallica from the new album Death Magnetic. I think its pretty good. I'm just not sure how "back to the roots" it is. It sounds like a newer Fade to Black. Its still not raw enough to be the old stuff. It isn't exactly Kill 'em All. I will most likely buy the album, but its just not all that roots Metallica.

Metalcore, Metal or not?

I am the first to admit that I like a bit of metalcore. I like Skinlab, Five Finger Death Punch, Lamb of God and a few others, but is it metal?
Sure Trivium and Atreyu and all that stupid shit definitely isn't metal, but what about the others? Lamb of God is considered trve metal, the others aren't, but whats the difference?
Listen to the vocals, in emo-metalcore like Atreyu or Trivium, the vocals are very highpitched and screamy, in Lamb of God, the vocals are much lower and heavier. This is the primary difference.
The vocals in Lamb of God are almost Cannibal Corpse esque. Not quite but almost. It's great just fucking great. Thats why metalheads are hypocritical in their music, because of these subtle differences.

rap/hip hop/trip hop's place in metal

now many of us like rapcore and rap metal and stuff like that. I am personally a big fan of Insane Clown Posse and eminem.
I guess what I'm asking is why metal (and I mean metal not fuckin mallcore shit like Slipknot and KoRn, both of which are firmly rooted in rap) and rap have this rivalry. Both of them are trying to be more extreme. And frankly it pisses rap off that metal really is more extreme. When you listen to metal and then rap you find that rap is weak and simple. I ahve been listening to thy Light a lot and now when I listen to Insane Clown Posse its like going from Behemoth to Thin Lizzy. Just really really polar opposites.
Why is rap more simple then metal? Well I think, (remember this is my blog and therefore my opinions are the ones that matter, got a problem with that? Then comment on it) that its because almost all rap can be made on a computer and played off a syntheizer, which is something that many rappers do. Thats why they perform on an empty stage. Metal is harsh, raw, fast, animalistic and much more difficult to play. I don't know if YOU have tried to do ANYTHING while headbanging but tis nigh impossible to do without hurting yourself. I know, I've done it. And these guys play very fast guitarwork with chord changes every second and many times faster. You may not like black metal but they're drumming at an incredible rate. Rap is slow and takes almost no talent to write or rap.
Next is the vocals. Listening to Conquer All by Behemoth I am left to wonder how the fuck he does those vocals. I can't make a sound like that, you most likely can't but both of us most likely can rap. because all it is is smooth talking with rhythm. Thats IT. Anf frankly I am tired of being told that the lyrics are complicated, because they aren't. Although Saul Williams is an excellent writer, but he is more spoken word then actually rap. Just something to think about dude.

so there is some info on the VAAAAAAAAAAAST differences between these two "extreme" genres.

Hail,
I was thinking, there are a lot of awesome vocalists in metal. Is there a "best" one? I think Ronnie James Dio might be able to steal that title, but he seems like such a cop out to me. What about Bruce Dickinson? Or Dee Snider, Bon Scott, Marijan H., Roy Khan, (no relation to Madelein Khan, [I can't fuckin spell]) and many, many others. I mean seriously that is unfair to just cop out to Ronnie James Dio. besides have you EVER heard him live? He sucks ass. Maybe cause he's drunk or something. But he only sounds good on record. I am so serious right no. GEDDY LEE is another guy who should totally be mentioned here.

so many things to think of
