The Spookiest genre of Music

[@brennuvargr4638]

Hah. Lyrinx (the music at the beginning and towards the end of the video) is my old band! I am Dan/Brennuvargr, the vocalist. Very surreal seeing us featured on here! Thanks for that.

[@n.a31214]

You have some of the best vocals in the genre

[@georgefanourakis4560]

nihilistic purity is and will be one of the best dsbm records i have heard

[@brennuvargr4638]

@@n.a31214 Thank you so much. I really appreciate it! I would love to do vocals in a DSBM band again, but there are so few people in the UK making this type of music, which is mega frustrating. My heart will always be with Lyrinx, too...

[@brennuvargr4638]

@@georgefanourakis4560 Cheers, George! I'm really glad you dig it. Crazy to think that it was released over 16 years ago already. Even though I was going through major depression at the time, I still look back on those days fondly. Rose-tinted specs an' al that...

[@n.a31214]

@brennuvargr4638 I understand. I did vocals for a dsbm band too, but we were international. So just a studio thing. Maybe you can do something like that?

[@Xenophenous]

There's that saying, "Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable". That's what DSBM means to me, and I think it's a great tool to have in your mental wellbeing toolkit. There's a stereotype of people who are into this kind of music being horribly depressed, chronically introverted, having no will to live, etc, but anyone I talk to who is into this kind of stuff generally seems quite friendly and well adjusted. Listening to and making this kind of music is a cathartic process and, while it may seem ironic, if it makes you feel better then it's doing its job. It's music that expresses darkness and loneliness, and knowing that you're not the only one experiencing it makes it easier to deal with, maybe even lets you look at your dark and depressive thoughts from a new perspective that turns into something inspiring, even uplifting in a way. Not to mention some of the absolutely stellar musicianship that there is to be enjoyed in the genre.

[@Wickebein9]

Hey guys huge DSBM fan here with the fuckin long comment detailing some stuff, i’ve been listening and enjoying the genre since 2008, it’s funny that Nattramn’s story stared as a Creepypasta and ended as a dark myth/legend, so, let me clarify some stuff for you. No, he didn’t cut his hands off, he’s clearly holding the pig’s feet behind the bandages, auto damaging your HP (to say it in a different way) it’s actually a very common practice in the genre to the point that most or at least one member of the band does it, and if the band doesn’t, it is seen as fake, so, it was very shocking to see someone doing it, but he wasn’t even the first one, let’s remember that Dead from Mayhem was known for it too, second, yes he often referred himself as a Pig in both ways, as a “person so fucked up inside” that resembles a pig and as almost literally one, the hot topic, is the 1 Girl 1 Axe story true? You might be surprised but it actually is, but, is a apocryphal story, the one who committed it was actually his brother and he committed auto oof after it, there’s actually an interview with he’s father on Swedish news tv and one of the only photos of actually him with his father at the place of the events, lamenting the events and the decisions of his brother, the photo only shows he’s back so, no, he’s face is not seen. The book’s title “Grishjärta” means “Pig’s Heart” so, once again, it works both ways, as a way to tell people that it is actually him and to say “This is my personal stuff that comes from the heart” a very interesting book and since the release on vinyl of the Ödelagt record, he said on he’s website that he’s going to record and release a new album that will retake the black metal veins, since every other record fell in the ambient/dark noise genre, but that record hasn’t materialized and we’re still waiting for it. There’s a band by the name Grishjärta, but it is unknown if it is a project by Natrammn.

[@Däl-user]

The nattrams story was just a creepypasta all he did was making cuts in his arms like most of the dsbm vocalists like Kim Carlsson, Graf, Niklas Kvarfort etc...

[@davidnilsson7733]

Yes and no. Of course he didn't replace his hands with pig's feet but the axe attack thing is real - BUT it was his brother, not Nattramn who attacked the girl after fleeing from the mental institution St Sigfrid in Växjö, Sweden.

[@Däl-user]

@@davidnilsson7733 that isn't confirmed because the only real family nattramn has mentioned that he had is his mother and father

[@davidnilsson7733]

ive been a huge fan of DSBM for a while, it's awesome to see you covering it

[@unitedeasterntapes]

DSBM gets tame the deeper you go in to black metal

[@Zeitgeist6]

DSBM is awesome. Love it. Big NONE fan here. Silencer is also awesome (if you can get over the shrieking vocals). The pigsfeet thing is BS though. Also the thing of him beating a kid's head in with an axe. The axe thing was apparently his brother Patrik. And yes there is a video of the cops arresting the guy floating around somewhere.

[@bonechrusher9749]

DSBM is actually my fav black Metal genre.Thanks for talking about it.Silencer is a pretty unusual dsbm band btw,but unique in every way.

[@ImmolationVenus666]

I actually really like DSBM, the atmosphere and sound is really more melodic and beautiful than it seems, not only Silencer but Xasthur, Bethlehem and Shining are some more examples of the more morbid sub genre of Black Metal

[@joschafinger126]

I don't subscribe to the lifestyle of characters such as Nattram and am, on the whole, kind of a happy person. Still, DSBM is one of my favourite styles. The emotion of the genre and the musicianship of so, so many of its artists just leaves me open-mouthed and wanting more.

[@VinlandicSoul]

I’ll never forget the first time I heard Androider by Lifelover. I’ve never felt depression from a song like I had there & then

[@UniversalistSon9]

What people don’t understand is that dark music is a good tool for emotional purging, which actually can HELP a person live. Sorry, with depression we can’t just act happy all of the time. Sometimes the darkness is good..I know it’s all satanic lol

[@davidvales]

The 5 year old girl story was apparently his brother. But that is also not confirmed.

[@Moja421]

Yes and the brother were sent to a mental institution where he later comitted suicide. After his brothers suicide Nattramn became a patient in some sort of a institution where he later made the diagnose lebensgefahr album. The stories about Nattramn are pretty much made up by fans since Silencer never played live or gave any interviews.

[@_dsbm]

Art is supposed to disturb the calm and calm the disturbed that is the explanation why we listen to dsbm Edit: dsbm is a genre that is extremely depressing but i feel understood by it Edit 2: nattram never "replaced" his hands with pigs feet About that story with the 5 yr old it was his brother

Probably should preface this video with a trigger warning. As someone who loves DSBM deeply it’s important to note for ANYONE wanting to get into the subgenre that it’s a minefield of SERIOUS triggers for most horrific things under the sun.

Maybe. But the Thumbnail and Title of the Video speak a clear Message and anyone clicking it and has real issues with Triggers, should not clicking this in the first place. There is a bit of individual responsibility that must be considered.

[@TheBorathon]

Sigh... Nattramn did not rip of his hands and replace them with pig's feet. Can we make an educational video without saying myths? We can reference the kind of "cultural mythology" of things like that, but they should be explicitly said as such and noted as not being real. No need to inform people of false information as the truth, especially when talking about something that clearly a lot of people will already have their negative stigmas about.

[@Red93100]

Not nearly the spookiest subgenre of black metal IMO, that would be horror BM. Try out Axis of Perdition, they litterally have an album themed around Silent Hill! The examples you're speaking of are creepypasta stuff - Most of the fluff around these bands is made up, in inspiration of Mayhem and their antics. Although Mayhem did a LOT of bad stuff, including the EP with a cover of their guitarist's suicide, even more about them was completely made up, and they would spread the rumor themselves. That being said, DSBM is usually very good music :)

[@brennuvargr4638]

That was Euronymous of Mayhem, not Burzum, who took the photograph of Dead, well, dead. It saw the light of day as the front cover on a bootleg album called 'Dawn of the Black Hearts'.

vegan dude from mayhem was right from the very beginning. The obsession with slaughtered pigs in black metal is so lame and sad. Honestly doesnt even fit the music imo.

Sry open good but as all video about this i lost it start the nattramn rumors. If use head just a litle .Even if he cut his arms of , just after done first in case - ok he then soposed use the other to sew on pig feet?, on the one he cut of then or?. Ok so far mabe possible. But ok he like then with that one he sew pig feet on. Use that one to cut of and sew on pig feet the other aswell? , yea right.... Then to the rumor he hit a kid with the backside of a axe - said turn out to be his brother. And best one is he wrote a book grishjarta "pigheart" he loved pigs ok -.But again bet it be a bit hard to write books with eh.. so called pig feet`s as hands?. Later he did project with mame of so called asylum he was in .Sure again "If" he was put in there due to his lifestyle around his music. I`m pretty sure they would nor done treatment like he could just continue in the same dark style he did. That suposed was what got him there in first place .. right?... And last guess some DSBM fans will hate me for say this - No offence to the music .l like mutch of the music. Just for that be so dark part. Ok mabe more original then the necro sound old BM - Like could not play dark enough so have shit sound to make it more evil. OK for DSBM. Aint that more like take the EMO to the more extreme ? . This self mutilation ,cut them self style? Ok no fun to like joke with that. Being realy depressed ,disturbebed. But for bm and part being evil. Would it not be more evil cut other`s then?. I`d find some emo to do self cutting.. But ok end this with - Well mabe shall be glad they not do so still....
