problem with myself is that i have no time to even try and roleplay. Yeah i update things every once in a while but school has diminished my plans of RPing anything good. By this summer I will try and start something that is creative and fresh but who knows.

It's a type of metal generally from Scandinavia. Ever see the metal guys who where corpse paint, burn churches and openly worship satan? that's black metal. Not racist at all, given that they are actually probably the whitest people on the planet :p

I think its cause no one has time. Like over spring break there was a shit load of new posts but as people went back to school and work there has been a major decline in RP but i think over summer when people are on break there is going to be more new posts and stuff

I dunno, I think that right now American black metal is probably the most interesting black metal around right at the moment. Alot of it is lo-fi and derivative of course, as it is everywhere, but there are alot of bands there doing fantastic things, with the first to come to mind being Wolves In The Throne Room. I'm also a sucker for both Xasthur and Leviathan. USBM is in a healthy state.

I dunno if I'd say it's neccessarily "Satanic music", I mean alot of them have that vibe about them but it's more just a sort of "evil" feel to the music. Which sounds totally lame, I grant you, but the shit works!

Cody, black metal varies from the ridiculously straightforward and pretty generic stuff (Dark Funeral, Marduk type bands) to some groups who are just...stunning. But yeah, it's just a sort of metal, with the "black" more referring to evil than colour, especially as it seems to unfortunately attract a large number of white supremacist douchebags.


That song just does it for me!

And Nimrods, if you do a sorta BM GG Allin dick'ed there's gotta bodily fluids, it's gotta be nasty! If I wasn't the lazy man in the world I would have a delightful mix of Kvarforth from Shining and Allin, just a big ball of self-destruction, self-loathing and unrighteous anger. Actually, being the stupid fuck that I am I may even attempt this, if only as a crap parody of a certain type of black metaller. Would certainly be easier to write than the last time I did an RP on this board, an attempt to be all cryptic and subversive when I lack any sense of being subtle.

Any love for Absu?

Throw me into that camp as well (the 'De Mysteriis..." camp)...dont get the hype, 'Freezing Moon'? Bah. My lawn in winter is far more grim and frosty than Mayhem.

I haven't been around in a couple weeks. There really is no reason why, I just haven't been getting on here. I've been on a completely different roleplay site since 2007. when I came here and say the roleplay section I expected something somewhat similar. I found instead most roleplays were just 'my band released a new single'. I jumped into doing that, but it got extremely repetetive for me after awhile. Probably because I never got any replies. That is probably part of why I disappeared.

I am not an amazing roleplayer. Generally my grammar and spelling isn't that great. As soon as I try to write something that isn't music I'm a bit lost as how to go into great detail, but I am better then the average 'my band has a new single' guy. I think all that has to be done is someone should start a real RP and I'm sure a couple of people here will join in.

To more or less quote bikz, 'Respond to people, and you'll get more responses'. At least that's a general rule of thumb...

Yeah but to be fair, a) a guy in a metal band even acknowledging a pop diva is so ridiculously out of character and the metal band are going to be so below the radar of the diva to not even be worth noticing & b) if you write a well thought-out RP then getting two or three word responses, to me, is as good as getting nothing.

I dunno, when I used to RP it was fantasy wrestling, where you have a reason to acknowledge other people, to be confrontational, but also plenty of leeway to break away from the usual clichés you would expect to see on a wrestling show. It seems like opportunities that work in character with interaction with other bands here is kinda limited.

Of course, that's the thoughts of someone who has written about one time on the roleplay boards here :)

That is certainly true. But it's alllllll about the atmosphere of the music.
