If your comment isn't bullshit: both WITTR and Asunder are some of the most moving and melancholic "modern" music I can think of - and I'd like to think I would do the same, man.

My condolences, music helps in so many ways. I'd go insane without it.

In time you'll be together again.

After reading this comment it has inspired me to write some song lyrics about your story... Into the woods Your journey was great but too short A special bond, only we share As I walk on this path I see nothing but nature and true beauty The screams they echo, your name they cry I look up and see giant red trees Emotions are high There you were in the sky In my hands I hold you Spread to be one with the earth Until we meet again Now whenever I hear those screams It reminds me of the trees and our journey A tear will fall.

yeah for those who think this is cult I would say it is more of an earth movement and if you wish to know just open your mind to this reality...which is many experiences

I wish I could like this comment more than once

DublinFrodo black metal always meshes so well with nature and themes of nature. I wonder why that is? I think it's the beauty of the lyrics clashing with the music which is harsh at first, but is itself a beautiful unified whole. Or maybe it's just the raw untempered sound of the music that works well with the nature themes which is itself raw and unbound. Black metal like this is also very meditative. It's the kind of music that I want to listen to for its own sake, not just to pass the time while doing something else because otherwise it can't really be taken in. Idk but I know these lyrics wouldn't work anywhere outside of black metal, and it sounds so good within that framework. Pure genius.

Well there are plenty of genres that use theatrics, imagery, specific lyrics to convey a particular type of atmosphere. Thats a main driver in black metal, Why do you think most black metal uses shrieks instead of guttural growls? It displays more agony, grimness, despair than other types of vocals.

RazorHeadMetal i find the idea of the shrieks being cosmic shrieks of universal angst and despair to be more compelling than them evoking the imagery of a boogie man created by religion. the pantheistic black metal is way deeper than the satanemo black metal shit.

***** I love Bathory :D I agree with your comment, but there were some other bands around with satanic themes in the 80s in the thrash/death scene, bands like Blasphemy, Sarcofago, Sepultura... some of these bands influenced MayheM from what I know, I may be wrong of course, and in the early formation of BM, Black, Death and Thrash weren't that differentiated as distinc genres as today, they evolved over time I believe.

They are not devilish...or so i hope i thought just different...i would be disapointed if they are satan's bitches

I agree, black metal is defined by the sound, not the lyrical content. That being said, one genre of black metal I can't really get into is"Christian" black metal. Part of it is my disdain for organized religion. Part of me just feels like Christian ideals being imparted into a black metal sound just feels "off", even if the sound itself is genuine, like in the case of Crimson Moonlight, an otherwise very solid black metal band. I guess what I'm saying is that if the mood of the music and the lyrics are congruent with one another, I take no issue with it. Certain themes just don't work for black metal in my opinion. But in the case of things like Wolves, their lyrical themes absolutely work very well with the sound.
