Hurry up and release this you bastards. Preferably with a shirt.

That'd be an interesting shirt... maybe along the lines of Marduks "Fuck Me Jesus" in terms of blasphemy?

I love them to do a shirt with a depiction of their song 'A Baptism in the Warm Piss of Slaughtered Children' - just to see how they'd do it.

Yeah I've seen those, unfortunately they're not to my taste really. My fashion sense would prohibit me wearing them.

Interesting album, I approve

Wow, "Jew Killer"? Really? I find that very appalling, yet I'm not even Jewish.

Personally, I think that it is very hypocritical for this site to feature a song called "Jew Killer" yet prohibit even mildly National Socialistic bands like Graveland. I guess people who treasure their national heritage and desire nationalistic unity are more offensive than a song titled "Jew Killer". Either accept all legitimate bands regardless of their ideologies or prohibit everything remotely offensive to someone's culture and race. Don't make exceptions.

I'm very displeased by this site's hypocritical standards.

Yeah you might want to do some research into the band before casting judgements, especially coming from someone who wrote not long ago: I do wisely investigate bands and lyrics to determine what should and should not be accepted into my music library because for someone who apparently asks the question: What is the message that this band is trying to convey? it doesn't sound to me like you've even bothered to look at the band beyond a song title considering the entire album is pro-Jewish.

Excerpts from the above interview and article (Metatron's 60,000 word codex explaining in detail the meaning behind every song and every line of each song):

"Your next album, The Murder Of Jesus The Jew, is bound to stir up controversy, even before it's released, just because of the album title. Do you expect to cause a bit of a storm over this?
Storms come and go but the truth remains. The title is exactly what it is. Jesus was a Jew, he died on a Jewish Tree in a Jewish land. That's something Christian's try to forget. Jesus loved his God and loved his people. Christians love his god but generally despise his people. The West has followed this Jew for hundreds of years, worshiped him and died for him, but his roots have been washed way. What the fuck is that all about? This album is the album I wanted to create from day one, and now it's here. I wanted to know the real man behind the myth and how the West has corrupted and deceived through the centuries. There are historical events that no one is ever taught. The fact the Roman persecution of the Jews melts with the growth of Christianity. By AD130, the city of Jerusalem was renamed Aelia Capitolina, and was totally absent of Jews. This is why we have this race of generally despised people dotted all across the world. Our inbred hatred of race and culture is a reflection of Christianity's deceit and wholesale indoctrination of its dubious creeds. It's a long winded true story, but one I doubt many people know. On another note [we could go on and on here] is that the very terminology of Anti-Semitism is completely wrong. The Semitic world envelopes many Islamic peoples, as well as others, so it cannot be spoken of in such a broad way. Anti-Semitism is a term to represent Judenhass [Jew Hatred] but it is wrongly accredited outside those constraints. Its bullshit and resides outside the realities of historicity."

and

"There will be a few nob-ends who will call, The Meads of Asphodel' racist and will no doubt be the same adolescents who would probably slander the makers of Schindler's List, for being equally theatrical and blatantly cruel to the Jews. I do not apologize for being blunt as my motives are sincere."

After reading that and investigating further, I must sincerely apologize. My outburst was stimulated by the song title and its lyrics referring to Jesus (and any Jew) as a "sand nigger". Without reading the meaning behind the whole concept, I, fueled by fury, wrote the remarkably dogmatic post above. For that, I do apologize.

I am glad you linked me to that page, however. The information regarding the band's stance on the death of Jesus is quite intriguing, to say the least.

I know we are getting a bit out of subject but the former quote is spot on. the term is used in awful ways to create walls around certain people protecting them from judgment and allowing them to go further with some acts that are denied by the simple mind of any human being "I hope this statement won't be considered a sort of Anti-Semitism (sarcasm detected)"

Truly one of the few albums that lived up to the hype I'd placed in it.

If you don't like this you have no business listening to music:



(how many black metal bands have the ability to mix musicals into their music?)

I like "Apocalypse Of Lazarus" the most...the outro riff a killer...well, and the middle-part interlude as-well

Written by Guest on 22.08.2012 at 17:22

The track is barely black metal.

Yet the band remains largely more black metal than anything else whilst mixing a number of other influences, thus, my point. Being "barely" black metal is hardly a valid critique.

Written by Guest on 22.08.2012 at 17:47

Just saying it wasn't the best track to demonstrate your point. barely vs. hardly sounds interesting though.

You mean using the Meads track that probably best highlights how far and beyond the band goes in incorporating foreign and unusual influence wasn't the best choice as an example?

Seems legit.

Written by Guest on 22.08.2012 at 17:52

No, I meant the honeymoon of black metal and musical.

Yeah, I'm not getting your point. The primary pull of this band has always been how divergent their themes and style has been. For that reason this song is the best example because it showcases what they're willing do to for originality and creativity's sake.

I've always found this band to be intrinsically black metal, even if their stylistic relations to the genre are often quite tenuous. I listen to that song and hear a fair amount of punk-driven black metal punctuated with bizarre interludes.

I agree with you. Definitely BM enough to be called a bm album. I'm just a translator or something...

Well Meads seem to invite difficult interpretation amongst many people, they're definitely one of those black metal bands that aren't black metal, if you see what I mean.

Written by Guest on 22.08.2012 at 18:05

I wasn't talking about the album, I was talking about the track. The album is enough bm.

I think you're focusing too much on the "musical" interlude which only comprises a few minutes of the song (it's nearly 9 minutes long after all). I'm fairly sure there isn't a song on the album which would be any less or more black metal than that one, and therefor no more suitable as an example (Man From Kerioth being the one exception probably).

So it is not black metal...and? is now music quality judged by genre?

Nobody said that

Funny, I was just listening to this the other day on my iPod. Hadn't for a long time.

I love how this album is pretty extreme and raw, but it doesn't sound heavy or aggressive at all. It's warm and fuzzy. And those melodic leads, dear god. One of the better BM albums around, I should listen to this more. I was gonna put on some Primordial before bedtime, but this'll lull me into sweet dreams instead.
