Blizzard Entertainment said:nah, I actually have a girlfriend 🙄 😎

So, am I right in thinking you don't really use your right hand much? 😁

Blizzard Entertainment said:Are you speaking from direct experience, or is this just...

Of course not, I identify as Gothic, not black metal. 🙂 😁 😉

And yeah, I even heard a rumor that you enjoy making pentagrams out of nipples 😁

Has anyone here ever actually been "taken" at the altar, meaning you saved your virginity for those specific rituals, or have you all just been using birth control?

🙂

Real black metal fans aren't virgins because the devil himself stripped them of that innocence the second they stepped foot on this earth... boo. 😈 😁

Honestly, everyone is using protection nowadays, usually by putting one of those spiked rings on their black metal partner's junk. 😁

I truly believe that we’re the ones who carve out our own paths in this life. Even with all the constraints and limitations placed upon us, I feel like we possess a genuine free will and an inherent sense of purpose we're constantly striving toward. When it comes to defining that purpose or deciding how to pivot when we hit a dead end, that’s entirely up to the individual. Most people rely on some form of faith to get by—actually, I think everyone does, regardless of what that looks like, whether they’re putting their trust in God, the hope for a brighter future, or just the belief that a solution exists.
In my view, if you find yourself stuck on your journey, you really need to lean into those inner voices and gut feelings. You have to listen to them, because I honestly believe they won't ever lead you astray.

Ava Gardner said:You're still pretty young, aren't you? 🙂 (I'm asking because of Haustor)

As for the second thing, am I being a snob? 😁 😁

Yup, just 17. I actually went through all of that back when One was around, maybe six or seven years ago, but then I ended up finding my way into the Goth scene and got really tied up in that, so I haven't spent much time exploring other stuff.

Regarding Crazy Valjak, I wouldn't say I'm being a snob; I can definitely listen to them, and they're actually decent, which is a huge relief compared to most other American bands that I just can't stand to listen to.

Man, this guy is just incredibly powerful. Seriously, those lyrics are absolutely genius. 🙄

I totally forgot to mention—Drinking Skull, even though they don't sound American at all😁

Urban & the 4 🙏 🙏 🙏
That old band led by Rundek (Haustor is killer) is actually really good. I don't mind at all when I hear some Journey 😁 .

Here you go, man! 😁

ironfalcon18 said:I'm actually in the middle of hunting down every single Therion album, and there are over twenty of them now, including those early stuff that originally only came out on cassette tapes. 😁
Back when they were still going by Blitzkrieg. 👍

I've got most of that collection myself, though I'm still relying on an old MP3 CD that's been sitting at a friend's place for months now.

ironfalcon18 said:Susan Nguyen85, if you ask me, Therion - Lepac Kliffoth actually holds up much better than Theli.

You know, I actually have that one on CD somewhere, though I don't have it with me right now. 😢

Morphine said:4. Paradise Lost - Icon

🙏 🙏 🙏

1. Paradise Lost - Draconian Times
2. Paradise Lost - Icon
3. Paradise Lost - One Second
4. Therion - Theli
5. Drinking Skull - Evil or divine

I think I’d personally go with "WARNING! HIGH VOLTAGE" printed right on the shirt. 😁

Now, the real question is, can I actually trust this?

ironfalcon18 said:I am easily the biggest expert on Therion in this entire corner of the galaxy, so just ask me whatever you want to know about Therion or Kristofer kasniti😁 I knew for a fact that Therion was going to show up even four months ago.🙂

Alright then, Mr. Expert, why don't you go ahead and give us a specific date and location?

Ed Hunter said:Therion is the absolute law :P
hehehe haha haha hihihihi hihihihi iiif we were choosing where to go, I'd pick Therion or Rhapsody over Iron Maiden any day... now you're really getting to me 🙂

Seeing Rhapsody live is honestly a lifelong dream of mine... they just own the epic metal genre... and you can kiss my ass if you aren't into it...

Rhapsody 🙏 Oh man, I would be so incredibly happy if I could actually see them live and just scream my lungs out to "GLORIA, GLORIA PERPETUA!!!!" Or when they play Warrior of Ice il "quando corpus morietur, fac ut animae donetur" 🙏

Kenneth Edwards3 said:it doesn't matter, Therion is just alright and I spent an hour and a half downloading a track from the web one day 🙂 (to mega Therion)

They really are top-tier and their quality is incredible, which is exactly why you absolutely have to go to the concert!!🙏

That's exactly right! 👍

Powers of Thangarion
watch the great beast to be 🙂

Kenneth Edwards3 said:THERION IS ABSOLUTELY UNSTOPPABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
WHEN ARE THEY PLAYING? I HAVE TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MAN, RIDERS OF THELI ARE THE BEST THING EVER!!!!!!!!

I can't stop thinking about Rider of Theli, but then there's also To Mega Therion, Orffov's O Fortuna, Cult of The shadow, ris of soda and Gomorah, Clavicula nox, and Marc of Cain... it's just overwhelming.

feralstag11 said:I'm personally sitting this one out... I just don't feel like throwing my money away on them.

Well, don't! I think they're absolutely incredible, and as a huge fan myself, I’ll definitely be there. Sam was actually mentioning earlier that some people might even make the trip out to Miami!!!! 😲 😕 😲 I'm honestly not sure how someone would even manage to get all the way down there on their own.
