dark saviour played in the battle of the bands. damn f*cking good. play judas priest and king diamond. anyway where's this dark saviour interview found? just curious.
To a typical Singaporean, black metal does somehow or other relate to occultism/satanism.
And I do not, in any way, mean to be racist when I make the following comment. While it might not be true that the amount of black metal music listeners are young melay kids, it sure seems that way.
Me, I know better then to connect black metal and satan-worshipping angst melay teenagers together, but that's the problem with society, especially the Singaporean one, they tend to make assumptions based on their extremely limited knowledge.
I am sure that there are as many malay teenagers who listen to black metal and loose their focus in life as there are chinese teenagers who listen to techno and loose their focus in life.
I might not be crazy about metal, but hey, I have a few friends who are really into it, play the music at night, but are students who do well, doctors and even lawyers during the day. Okay, scratch the lawyer bit, they are all going to hell anyway :roll: .
(That last part was just a joke, so please, don't sue me)
So, that programme might show something really not true, but think about it, it sure isn't the first, and definately wouldn't be the last to show the "un-truths" of the local community and the world. The media are just looking for "targets", and the entertainment industry is always the first to take the hit.
Violence, occult worship, and anything bad imaginable has always been blamed on movies, late-night TV programmes, video games, music (the "bad" types that is) and so on. It is never going to stop, people are always going to push the blame to the above-mentioned when they can, when the problem obviously lies with themselves, and their upbringing. Yes, I mean their parents.
So, just watch it with a pinch of salt, laugh at how naive and uninformed the media can be, bitch about it at your local kopi-tiam with your friends, and go to sleep at night knowing that, for at least one topic, you know more then someone else.

even with occultish or satanic themes in some black metal music, it is just a form of outlet where the musicians play out their fantasies in the form of music. Many black metallers (even those who play the satanic image) are just normal people outside of the band life.
It is not uncommon for the local media to take this lame stance, because u know what attracts the most attention? Blantant stereotyping. This will draw both the unlearnt and the learnt into the topic.
I'm not really into metal but I like Cradle of Filth. No they don't mention Satan in their lyrics but they believed they are vampires. So.

honestly i feel dat its the things dat u do dat make people stereotype u... its wat they see... u can just say that blackmetal is just another genre of music but why do some people do it too excessively till they do stupid stuff... well... they are people dat dont do stuffs like dat... n there are... so we cant blame the media alone as its wat u do dat make others comment on u...

well, u can't blame the media and general public for being ah hem... stereo-typical. people are shallow generally, and view things based on their wat they appear to be on surface, the images the things trying to portray. the fact tt black metal is underground makes it more difficult for ppl to truely understand its culture...
but on a side note, part of the reason why i think black metal is cool is its underground-ness

in my humble opinion, black-metalheads shouldn't be complaining about how the media treats them.
If you're a fan of black metal, you KNOW that it's not the norm in society, that it's not pop and normal people on the streets are not going to like it, that they're going to have misconceptions about it.
So I feel that if you're a black metal fan, you should accept that the media will treat your genre like such. If you want the media to love your music, you should listen to mainstream pop.
Part and parcel of being underground is, well, being underground.

But just because society don't like it doesn't mean it must spread vile rumors about it to paint ppl who listen to it as monsters.

you guys should look up the case of the memphis something case. they made a movie of it called paradise lost. i believe it's the same directors of some kind of monster.
it's about three teenagers who are accused and convicted of killing a toddler based not on evidence but almost purely on the fact that they wear cloaks and listen extensively to metal.
