9. Repeat all above while denouncing organized religion in any form.

 

10. Never ever, EVER under ANY circumstances...

 

11. ...Listen to Peccatum.

 

12. When someone asks you if you enjoy the music of Mayhem,point out that you only enjoy the music of "the true" Mayhem. Maniac is gay.

16. Don't be Dani Filth.

 

17. When your mom tells you to take out the garbage tell her that you're too metal to remove refuse.

 

18. Don´t pronounce words that silly as Attila did on Mayhem´s "De

Mysterriis..." (Fffffuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnneeeeeeeerrrrrrrrraaaaal

Fog)

 

19. Sodomize a virgin whore.

 

20. Sodomize anything that is not male. (Fuzzy things look out!)

 

21. Make sure your album goes out of print about 3 years after its

release... so it becomes 'cult'.

 

22. When in doubt, say "True Norwiegian Black Metal!"

 

23. If that doesn't work, blast beats can fill any silence.

 

24. Turn any cross you find upside-down.

 

25. Nipple twisting is not a blackmetal activity..

 

26. Write a cult, underground, grim and necro zine. Feature only interviews with bands no one has heard of, even "true" blackmetallers.

 

27. Never ever, EVER, EVER be open-minded.

 

28. Never write songs less than 15 minutes long and containing less than 15 adjectives in the title.

 

29. a) paint face. B) go in woods. c) act like troll.

 

30. Don't be Mortiis (or Dani Filth).

33. Don't make jokes.

 

34. When in doubt, scowl with eyes downturned.

 

35. Don't eat Marshmellow Peeps.

 

 

36. To producers of black metal albums: remember...no low end! If it

doesn't hurt to listen to, it can't be "true".

 

37. Make sure that no less than half of the musicians on your album are "session" members.

 

38. When in concert, always growl names of songs so that they are

imperceptible. This will ensure that anyone who doesn't have your "cult"

LP won't get it.

 

39. Never play live.

 

40. When getting ready to go to a show, completely forget that the other

people there are not going to the show to look at you.

 

41. Use barbed wire whenever possible. (Note: this assists in

being both "necro" and "grim".)

 

42. When asked by a non true BMer what BM is, say something

like, "BM is the raw essence of pure black evil in man", in any case,

make sure that by the conversations end, the other person still has no idea what black metal is.

 

43. Drive one of your band members to suicide, and claim he

died because of the "mainstream" "infecting" the "scene".

 

44. Reform with "old members" and release an album intended to

produce commercial success.

 

45. When it flops say that you meant it to fail cause anything less

wouldn't be "true".

 

46. Have a side project. Ensure that all other members of your band

also have side projects.

 

47. Fill out the other slots in your other member's side projects as

session" musicians.

 

48. Record everything in the same studio with the same producer/instruments/equipment/etc.

 

49. Make sure your album cover never consists of more than

three colors (color options allowed: grey, black, white).

 

50. Publicly state that your band is "non-religious", then

use the word "Satan" over 400 times on your one-song thirty-minute

album.

 

51. Never stuff your shoes to make them appear puffy and

avoid the wearing of backwards baseball caps if at all possible. Red ones in

particular.

 

52. Insist that music should never progress and that it

should still sound

the same way it did 9 friggin years ago.

 

53. Never say "friggin".

 

54. Never finish anything you start.

 

55. The word "Hail" is the only appropriate greeting whenever greeting

someone "true".

 

56. If feeling especially true on a given occasion, try

"Infernal Hails".

 

57. All logos must include illegible writing and at least one

inverted cross and/or pentagram. This is non-negotiable.

 

58. When referring to sex with a Metal Chick use only the terminology

"sticking my clouded frost-spire into her gates of attrition".

 

59. Design complex logo for your grim black metal band on binder paper in

the middle of math class.

 

60. Accept every interview you're offered... then pretend

that you really don't enjoy being interviewed.

 

61. Thoroughly enjoy Star Trek: The Next Generation.

 

62. Wait... scratch that last one. (See rule 1)

 

63. Never divulge to any outsiders the Exact Day of the

Divine Arrival of the Massive Hoof. Instead, inform them that they should be

ready to suck the Dark Lord's greasy @#%$ at any time.

 

64. Use the phrase "suck the dark lord's greasy @#%$"

whenever possible.

 

65. If you ever find that you have somehow become a member of Hecate

Enthroned, be sure to piece together a music video of scrap footage of

yourself walking around in the woods at night looking evil. Only, instead of

being night make sure it's the middle of the @#%$ day, and instead of

looking evil, look dorky instead. (See also: rule 1)

 

666. Own hundreds of black metal albums, demos and bootlegs. Listen to

approximately 8 of them regularly.

 

67. Humping a ceramic Virgin Mary in front of your uncle's

house is not "pimping it" (unless you tell her you're done then blow in her

face like a shotgun when she turns around).

 

68. Refrain from using keyboard smilies when communicating

via the Internet. Single acceptable smiley: -(

 

69. Why isn't the word "Northern" in your album title yet!? Get to it!

Amateurs...

 

70. Spelling things correctly is neither grim nor necro.

 

71. Norsk Arisk Svart Metall! Rahhh!!

 

72. No matter where you're from, pretend you're from Norway

and therefore 'true'.

 

73. Don't be Dani Filth. (I think that's clear)

 

74. All pets you own now will henceforth be known as

"Crucifier". Any pets

you own in the future will also be known as "Crucifier".

 

75. True black metaller: "Many of our dark hyms are

influenced by the mighty

Tolkien... You have not read the works of Tolkien!? Nerd.

Wait a minute...

It appears I am the nerdy one after all!"

 

76. @#%$, I'm talking to myself again.

 

77. Norsk Arisk Svartmetall! Rahhh!!

 

78. That's better, on with the interview!

 

80. Create inverted crosses in all possible instances.

Suggested tools: Drum

sticks, twigs, pool cues, pencils, etc. (See also "clouded

frost spire")

 

81. Profess publicly that you are a Satanist and add that you

are in touch

with Norway's ancient Pagan past. Pretend that somehow those

two facts make

sense in conjunction.

 

82. Stick your dick in the mashed potatoes.

 

83. Don't make Beastie Boys references.

 

84. Don't make references.

 

85. Satanus. Huh huh huhuhuhuh.

 

86. Huhuhuhuhuhuhuh.

 

87. If possible, design the title of your album so that it

consists of three

completely unrelated words. Dimmu Borgir are the master of this (i.e.

Enthrone Darkness Triumphant, Spiritual Black Dimensions, Puritanical

Euphoric Misanthropia, Godless Savage Garden) but you may

also want to refer

to Immortal's "Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism".

 

88. As we all know, women have no place in the homoerotic

world of black

metal, but if your girl friend still won't stop bugging you

about wanting to

be involved in your band, give her a lame spoken word part or

something.

 

89. Never form a band containing you, your wife and/or

girlfriend, and some

gay looking guy. (See also: rule 11)

 

90. Go to bed when your mom tells you to.

 

91. If it's rare, it must be good. Order it immediately.

 

92. I will not add that as it is not metal enough.

 

93. Are you metal enough to be reading this?

 

94. Own every Darkthrone release. Listen to exactly none of them.

 

95. Own cult-as-fuck shirts of bands you not only own no

releases of, but also haven't even heard.

 

96. Use the phrase "cult-as-fuck" whenever possible.

 

97. Attempt to randomly throw the word "fuck" during random

segments of your

songs. (Kindly refer to Attilla's work on De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas.)

 

98. In order to make your recording more incomprehensible and

therefore more

"cult", be sure to either select a singer who has only a

tenuous grasp on

the language to be sung. (Acceptable languages: Norwegian,

Latin, Orcish.)

 

99. I'll tell you what your album lay out needs...Some titties.

 

100. And you know what else? How long since you acted like a

troll? Pick up that makeup and fight, soldier!

 

101. You mean to tell me you read this whole thing when you

could've have

been prancing about in the forest with an axe? For shame! For

shaaaaame!!

 

Sorry..i had to...

No offence to anyone...

Some fool emailed it to me ;) ;)
