And can I request that they be numbered? (only to avoid "anything by _____" type answers)

1. Burzum - 'War'

the music mole (colin s barrow), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 02:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Are we supposed to explain why? Or just list 'em?

the music mole (colin s barrow), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 02:33 (twenty-one years ago)

I nominate 'War because of its super-serious, strident riff and drum beat which, though simple, almost collapses on itself on a couple of occasions. Then in comes Varg - and he sounds like a kitten being raped. Plus there's the line, 'Cries for help to all their dear moms'. bUt best of all is the intro, where he says as the gtr riff starts up, 'This is - ha!- WAR!' My favourite Burzum soing, totally preposterous and very serious.

2. "dusk and her embrace," cradle of filth

Eisbär (llamasfur), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 03:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Forgive me for pointing out the glaringly obvious, but wouldn't the real challenge here be to find a black/death metal song that ISN'T fucking absurd?! THEN you'd have something to talk about!

sokew, Wednesday, 1 September 2004 04:09 (twenty-one years ago)

true, but thats why i'm asking for the "most absurd" - dont just list any song

billstevejim, Wednesday, 1 September 2004 05:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Sure, list commentary if you wish.

Also, don't forget that there are deathmetal and blackmetal bands who are a little more serious about their music, who make music that's closer to hardcore, and aren't quite as amusingly absurd.

billstevejim, Wednesday, 1 September 2004 05:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Just to keep things moving..

03 "She Came Out In Chunks" - Broken Hope
04 "Skin Peeler" - Mortician

'devoured by vermin' cannibal corpse

lukey (Lukey G), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 07:04 (twenty-one years ago)

06. abigail "attack with spell"

japanese band notable for one of the most ridiculous vocalists in the world - hamster in a blender action. plus ridiculously fast black/death metal hybrid music.

07. havohej - man and jinn

this is a 4-song ep but basically functions as one 8-minute song. bizarre and ominous rumbling noise, cave fidelity recording, weird interludes of chimes, wretched vocals. like the earlier "black perversion," this might well have been recorded using only a sampler, it's impossible to hear any actual guitar sounds.

08. rehtaf ruo "child sacrifice"

absolutely fucked sub-beherit black metal noise. amazingly murky recording, didn't have a real drummer so he recorded drum parts and looped them in cooledit. frantic, creepy childlike screeching interlude.

el sabor de gene (yournullfame), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 12:12 (twenty-one years ago)

"World War 2 Oven March" by Witchduck off of the "Squirrel" ep.

'devoured by vermin' cannibal corpse
-- lukey (picninj...), September 1st, 2004.

pretty much anything by cannibal corpse i'd say.

latebloomer (latebloomer), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 17:36 (twenty-one years ago)

09. Vondur - "The Galactic Rock N Roll Empire"
this entire EP is so amazingly over the top and ridiculous. It includes a black-metal buzzsaw cover version of "Love me tender" fer crissakes.

Avi (Avi), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 17:50 (twenty-one years ago)

For most absurd black metal *covers* I nominate French band Carnival In Coal, who among originals also cover Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street" and Michael Sembello's "Maniac." And are serious.

Brian Turner (btwfmu), Thursday, 2 September 2004 01:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Rank Sinatra needs to make this list for his black metal covers of pop standards, but which song to select? Have a listen, please!

The new Krieg disc has a really great version of "Venus In Furs"

Brian Turner (btwfmu), Thursday, 2 September 2004 02:51 (twenty-one years ago)

one year passes...

13. Happy Re-birthday by Pungent Stench

I can feel the abhorrence people show for me
Because I am an expectorating blasphemy
And I know that my look offends their staring eyes
So I run because they will treat me otherwise
Digging in the trashcan for my food all day
I don't give a fuck what all those people say
My parents have rejected me like a rat
That's the reason wherefore I hate mom and dad
Night has come, time is right for my disgusting plan
I climb to the window of my parents' sleeping room
With a chain I confine their bodies to the bed
I am sure this is the funniest night I ever had
For my dad I have an unbelievable surprise
I just stab mother's nail-file into daddy's eyes
Draw it out, tear his eyeballs out of their smashed holes
Digging with my fingers in his fester-squiring sores
Screaming he is lying in a pool of blood
But I'm only laughing while I start to cut
Well readable letters in his sweating skin
Repudiating the own son is a sin
A dream came true, too long I had to wait for my revenge
Out of fear he shits into his pants - Hell what a stench!
It is time telling daddy now the last goodbye
Then I ram the file into his heart, because he must die
Watch my mom - All I see is an infected slut
With my boots I fucking kick her motherfucking butt
Slowly I dissect her torso with my fingernails
Gluttonous I start to eat her flesh and her entrails
My head is in her abdominal cavity
I'm on my way to mother's cunt and suddenly
I reach the hole and my mother's uterus is torn
Then I hasty gasp for breath - I'm reborn!
Troublesome my body's creeping through the bleeding gash
Inside out my skin is covered with organic mash
What a treat, life goes on for me - Now I'm free
Killing is the only pleasure for a freak like me

it's pure poetry it is

-rainbow bum- (-rainbow bum-), Saturday, 19 November 2005 06:20 (nineteen years ago)

also search their song "brainpan blues":

I'm a man, I'm a very sick man
I got one aim this is kill and kill again
I was born with pain and pain I give back
All I do with people is mangle, scalp and hack
I kill as many I can
I got no friends but you can call me slam
I torture and make them bleed
Strangulation, mutilation is my creed
I strangle them with a rope
but first I prefer to smoke a lot of dope

Just about anything on the last Bathtub Shitter album.

Totally agree on 'War'. That "This is - HUH - war!" part is the best thing to come out of the Norwegian black metal scene.

Fuck, I have so much I'm tempted to mention. And I LIKE death metal and black metal, mind. Hrmm, well, I'll try to think of something hilarious musically, but for now, let's have a lyrics-classic.

Honorable mention to Czech black metaler Stiny Plamenu, whose albums supposedly are about some concept of a great overlord of the sewers. They're in Czech though, so euh, yeah.
Second honorable mention to whoever it was that had the lyrics "Satan sitting on his throne so fucking grim!" (I own the CD, so it's lame that I don't remember it)

Correction on Bathtub Shitter entry. Eclipsed by Bathtub Shitter's 3-song Christmas EP, a trio of death metal songs for the holidays on Tumult. Better still, it won't be coming out for Xmas, but after the holidays, sometime in early 2006, because they couldn't get their asses wired to do it on time.
