Mainstream is just starting to slowly cannibalize the extreme metal aesthetic. They look for 'new' old, add a bit, rehash it, sell for premium to people who need to feel special/different.. it's a pattern and metal aesthetic is the next scapegoat. I've been listening to rap and metal simultaeonously most of my life and I think its a net possitive but sure feels fkin weird and bizare seeing this crossover.

[@bartodziej5763]

I think that over time the aesthetic is going to be stolen from us. Mainstream is going to take and adapt it, people are going to associate it with somehing else than black metal. That's a danger for our niche. This aesthetic is great and it's ours, we should defend it.

As someone who has spent basically my entire life in the punk and hardcore scenes, I could not possibly agree more with every single word of this video. This level of exposure to the punk/hardcore/metal aesthetic is certainly a double edged sword, but I lean toward the positive aspects just like you.

Burzum was founded in 1991. It was already well underway when Varg killed Euronymous, Burzum was signed to Euronymous's label. That's why they had a feud. He didn't form Burzum in prison, nor did he form Burzum in 1988.

Another interesting fact. They were playing the 25 minute instrumental song from filosefem as the intro for their 2nd listening party. Was a fun video to stumble upon. In all honesty as someone who toured in the hardcore world for a few years successfully. I think it’s better to see the aesthetic adopted by other genres, in all honesty heavy music is very cringe these days.

[@SpearheadMedia]

Yeah that was my conclusion in the end - the adoption of the art-style by the mainstream is a good thing for heavy music and dark art ⚔️

[@Aaaaaaaa-ix4rp]

@@SpearheadMedia if anything if it gets kids who have no experience with heavy music to make it one day we may see a renaissance the way we did in the mid 2000s when a million going to see pop punk shows were exposed to metalcore / early deathcore.

Yo, cheers for shouting out Kittelsen. Dude made some sick art!

[@SpearheadMedia]

He's so awesome, Black Death might be my favourite piece I've seen of his. Have you seen the Swedish artist John Bauer? I was recently at the Bauer museum, so sick ⚔️

[@WolfieboyMachi]

@@SpearheadMedia I'd seen that image of the four trolls huddled around a small girl, but didn't know his name. Checking out his works now, I am instantly smitten! What a gorgeous style! I'm definitely taking a trip to the museum. No doubt it will be greatly inspiring. Seeing artworks on display irl gives a completely different experience and impact compared to just seeing an image of them through a screen. First time I visited an art gallery was at the Munch Museum in Oslo, and it was amazing how the paintings just come alive when you actually see them on a canvas. It's like there's this depth in them that gets completely lost in scans and photos. And yet, Bauer's pieces are already inspiring me. Can't wait to see his works in person. My favorite Kittelsen piece would be either Nøkken (The Nix) or Kvitebjørn Kong Valemon (White Bear King Valemon). Not exactly his most obscure works, but sometimes, the works are highlighted for a reason. They just exhude that spooky yet magical atmosphere that I love so much in folk tales.

[@akiraasmr3002]

The reason Kanye wore that Burzum shirt and was heavyily inspired by it for his merch was because of a rapper Playboi Carti's friend named Burberry Erry who helped style for Kanye and he is a big fan of Burzum he is a fashion dude who has a lot of punk and black metal influences you can tell by his look he has big liberty spikes.

[@B13e]

I personally love that a lot of rap artist are getting inspired by black metal since rap lyrics can be just as dark and graphic as black metal but Carti does it way better than Kanye in my opinion

[@ConvincingPeople]

Ye's recent Burzum homage didn't actually surprise me much-he's been spotted wearing Testament shirts, which seems like a slightly deeper pull than someone just picking that kind of clothing purely for the visual, and he's sampled various heavier artists in the past (although I was unaware that he'd sampled Varg outright before)-but it was this very specific, weird mix of darkly funny and depressing, because he knows *exactly* who he's signalling to and does not give a fuck about the ramifications, and for an artist of his stature, that's disquieting. Had he done this back around the time he made Yeezus or something you could write this off as an edgelord thing, a provocative joke, but it's clearly not a joke at this point save between him and the Nick Fuentes-adjacent part of his audience. The fact that it's kind of half-assed only underlines this fact to me. It's a /pol/ meme. And that's pretty gross!

[@NEXO.1]

It's so funny to see a rapper using black metal art

[@HA11EYS_COM3T]

I’m hoping as artists start to experiment with this visual aesthetic, they’ll also start experimenting more with the musical styles behind it. What I’m loving is that artists who do are starting to get more popular, and people are starting to realize the merit behind this extreme music as a whole (I’ve heard a whole not more peelingflesh being played randomly recently so I can only assume things are looking up)

[@CarlosPineda-v6l]

The art is actually cool.cooler than the rapper

[@cru2006]

[@RichardCranium.]

I strongly disagree. I don't want Rihanna and Playboy Carti fans listening to black/death metal. They will only poison the scene and make it worse. Extreme metal should not be popular because the normies will ruin it.

[@メシャ]

this is WILD i never expected to hear Kanye West and fuckin Burzum in the same sentence i agree the artwork's ass btw, dude got ripped off asf and he deserves it. could've at least made it b&w and cranked the noise and sharpness i'm very aversive to people and especially big brands using our subculture just for surface level aesthetic and profit, but Rihanna's team totally nailed it by actually being respectful, invested and researching and hiring a renowned artist for the job in the end it's awesome that the scene gets exposure from these situations, kids gotta find good music somehow haha great video and editing, wouldn't mind more of these along with the tutorials :)

[@SpearheadMedia]

Absolutely mate, overall it's definitely a good thing for the scene as a whole - here's hoping we see more adoption of the aesthetic by the mainstream going the Rihanna route.

For the vetements shirt you mentioned, I agree that it doesnt look very good, but vetements is an ironic brand which often takes inspiration from how "normal people" who dont care about their outfits dress, theres a non-zero chance the Primark band merch aesthetic it has was at least partially intentional

[@DelanceyThrone]
