Black metal. There's no genre more dismal than a bunch of lonely Norwegians who aren't that great at their instruments getting together and creating music in which bad production, few chord changes, and generally just fast strumming is the norm. Let's just say it's not for everyone, and that's what the fans like about it. I can only tolerate some of it, but it sure has one hell of a history. Especially during the early 90's with the murdering and church burning. Bad fucking Ass. Sound interesting? Check out the book Lords of Chaos for all the blackend satan death fuck stories. Those guys are nuts. One of the pioneering Norwegian Black Metal bands was Immortal. Judge them on their music, not the music videos. It's impossible to take them seriously if you watch any of the music videos. But being that they have such a hardened persona, it only makes the video below THAT much better. I could watch this video all day.
Abbath is one of the two guitarist, and lead singer in case you were wondering. The song is done by the extremely gay UK band The Scissor Sisters. They also do a horrible version of Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb". Enjoy, and Hail Satan.
