yes, it still under Metal roots. It is better to keep this thread alive. Not long ago this thread was dead and on pages 3 - 4 too.

don't know but why don't you just start here? as you can see there are not much info in this thread lately. Many old timer also didn't visit this thread for a long time, maybe because they're busy.

what you mean? Just start a topic that u want to discuss and people will follow up. U dont need to write an essay or what

Like cradleoffilth ask who's going for iron maiden and people will just reply No then the discussion follow up..

Just go to the Musicians under Special Interest section.

One of the articles I read said that the authorities were concerned about black metal 'which found it's start with Metallica in the 80s'

lol, at least know what you're arguing about if you want to ban something.

Can I ask, is the black metal here, anti-Islam? like similarly in Europe it's (generally) anti-Christianity.

In Europe you can burn a bible and nothing will happen to you, religion is questioned, belittled and ridiculed on a daily basis.

Here and Asia in general, that's not the case. It's still a very religiously conservative country, publicly speaking against religion is pretty much a no no (correct me if I'm wrong) so I expect, that not only would the authorities be onto you but also irate Muslims baying for blood. Those bands are brave souls.

Yes, it's their choice. Also their choice to listen and make any music they want.

Anyway, I'm not sure where you came up with that statement. Nowhere in my paragraph did I reference anything regarding that. All I said was that they are brave, as people here don't take kindly to anti-religion statements/actions.

Care to expand on this? I'm not sure I follow.

Also, it should be said, being anti-religion is not a pre-requisite for liking black metal. There are many followers of religion who just like it for the music, and there are also bands who don't mention anything about religion. At the end of the day, it is just a style of music, just so happens, quite a fair bit of it has anti-religious sentiments.

i like satyricon. i love God. haha..

For me, if you really understand something, you won't blindly something that's against it. For example, could be a biased one, i am quite religious in my own way (muslim), but I enjoy metal songs. Regardless of its genre in Metal.

its more of a problem of blindly doing things.

heheh nice to know that there are other people who listens to this kind of music....
very few of us malaysian enjoy it, metal in general 

when i play my music in the car, people will say " lagu ape ko dengar ni? pening kepale aku....." LOL
i dun giv a damn cuz 1st) its my car; and 2nd) i LOVE it   

Galneryus is not black metal

Yeah those kids think that listening to black metal they have to worship satan or shit like that... Although I stop listening to black metal stuff more to death metal, those who like them only listening to the music not because they worship satan. Im sure those kids are just listening to it to be cool and dont really enjoy the music

Black metal bands dont even want to perform here or shit because the supporters are not large enough.. Not worth to fly all the way from US/Europe to perform for a crowd of 100 people

They are just trying to be black metal putting the woman with the goathead..

Everlasting is too old skool.. u shud listen to more new skool galneryus 

Stand proud?? Is there such song? Their newest album not resurrection? Change vocalisto and bassito

Eh how come i never hear they got such album out? I just went their Resurrection tour concert few months ago they never mention anything

i'd followed most of the metal gig in KL since 2000, n never one i saw quran being burn, in 2004 I also in the historic gig in Seremban that being manipulated by media as satan worship fest

haha, I think this is a great example of people going by hearsay and getting caught up in media hype. People think there are Quran burnings, however, you're a regular attendee of gigs and have never seen one, sounds like the media just want to whip up some sensationalist stories.  It's also not surprising to hear that the media twisted things to suit their story about the gig in Seremban.

Hi, I am new here/

Can Linkin Park be considered as a Metal band?

Hi welcome

Of course. They one of the best heavy metal band

HAHA..seriously? 

Not really slow.. it will be slow if you only listen to your regular bands.. thats why i keep searching around for new bands which i never heard before and they turn out to be my new favourite
