Extremely confused by this comment. I would suggest you grow up yourself, perhaps then titles of videos on youtube won't upset you so much.

@@nuun-metaltheorist660 Believe me, I'm perfectly aware of the ideas on which you've based your research, and I suggest you listen to other types of music and ingratiate yourself with other schools of thought than those endorsed by edgy metal teens. And no, I'm not against metal music. My point here is that philosophical stances such as Gnosticism are truly vile as they assert that the world is an inferior creation of a malign god. There is no more world-denying viewpoint than this. Do you love nature? Do you feel a sense of veneration when you look upon a forest or a mountain? If you do, then you and anyone else who subscribes to these abhorrent ideas is experiencing extreme cognitive dissonance. No one who loves the natural world should be engaging with "anti-cosmic, anti-life, anti-human" traditions. Misanthropy, the occult, Gnosticism--abandon it all.

@@thitherword Ah as I suspected, you don't understand the point of the video whatsoever.

@@nuun-metaltheorist660 It's enough to dwell on such things. Steer clear of these bands and their ridiculous notions.

@@thitherword Sounds like shifting goalposts to me.

Thanks for suggesting them! I admit the response to this video makes me want to make some kind of follow up further down the line after doing some additional research!

You can only get them second hand. Ebay or rare/obscure book traders will be your best bet. These books were printed in a very limited quantity that all obviously sold out. Expect to pay anywhere between 200-1000 USD per book depending on condition and where you buy it. You can find the first book that was written, Liber Azerate, online as a .pdf, both in Swedish and in English. This one I can pretty much guarantee you will never be able to find a copy of in real life. Same with Sitra Achra regarding .pdf but I do believe this one pops up from time to time on ebay and similar sites. The Liber Falxifer books are the easiest ones to get a hold of at this point.

@@BlackestLyricsthank you.

Shitty take. Lots of metal do not deal with as extreme things as Black metal does, nor does any genre has such a dark history so yes, giving people a heads up is completely normal and the decent thing to do.

@@BlackestLyrics Very anti-metal IMO. Metal and (black metal especially) should be dangerous and menacing. If you really can't handle opinions without a heads-up, please, leave the hall.

@@Metalheim-f6d I agree that black metal should be this way. It should be pushing the boundaries of what can be considered art, it needs to be somewhere in that grey area of being dangerous, controversial, provocative and also sometimes just a little overly edgy for the fun of it as well. BUT! I do not feel metal as a whole needs to be this way. Look at power metal, a sub-genre that generally focuses on heroics, positivity and standing up against some kind of evil. Some people have been through quite horrible things. All they need is to know these things will be talked about to be fine with it, they simply do not want to be blind-sided. Does that sometimes seem a bit ridiculous? Yeah, it can, but I also believe it does not hurt you nor I. The topic is still talked about the exact same way, there was just a heads-up at the very start.

What’s your point? Both their beliefs lead to the Lake of Fire in the end.

What's wrong with beards lol???

@@Lord_Sneetus In Metal? EVERYTHING 😀

so now to be a metalhead you need to be clean shaven, have good eyesight and not have a family

@@sant1647 Bingo ! 😀

Nothing.

Adam was not the first man. Maybe first cyborganism.

There are different texts and sources on Lilith. She was both. Mythology isn't about a coherent narrative. Especially when we talk about the forces of Chaos.

Your Encyclopedia Hermetica videos have been a great companion to me over the years!

Why not make it anyway? I like to make things with metal visuals in mind, and more videos on the topic would be interesting for everyone no?

Does it matter? Its probably just for the TH-cam guidelines or people who can't deal with these themes.

Imagine being triggered by a content warning. 😅

@bradleyconnors1268 obviously it's for one of those 2 things. What else would it be

@UryneCayne it was easily my biggest trigger event of the month. I was completely Beside myself.

Thank you!

These are all huge topics that I will likely come across. My thesis has a lot to do with the romanticism of nature you find in black metal. This in itself isn't always just connected to neopaganism but also misanthropy, with the logic that nature is superior and all humans do is ruin it. For a future video I have a few ideas, one of which will be a part one on wolves in black metal, which is the central topic of my thesis. Thank you for engaging with my work, I really appreciate it.

Thank you, glad you've been enjoying this. Ya I'm the vocalist for SM, glad you appreciate our wacky tunes!

Oh I didn't know that, but thank you for pointing it out!

No, it's "reign chaos"

'rayn-kay-os' 'reign-chaos' "the return to chaos and acausal existence."

Interesting, haven't come across them. I'm interested in making more videos on war metal as I feel there's a lot to discuss, so will check them out.

well this is the mainstream view lol. germanic, slavic, romance etc peoples are of the same origin as the iranian and north indian peoples and speak related languages

​@@wtc5198trve

Some of them, sure. Modern Iranians mostly have semitic Arab admixture that our ancestors don't have. Technically the red-haired mummies in ancient China and northern India and the steppes are our and iranian's ancestors, but that was quite a long time ago and a lot changed on the way from there to Europe.

That has been scientific consensus for years.

@@MinecraftRick since the eighteenth century, even

That album was great, it was simply different.

It's one of the catchiest pieces of music ever created in any genre. The melodies are perfection, everything is clean and tight. What he did was he made the Liber Azerate into the most accessible music he could and it worked because that album actually did do some real numbers, top 200 charts etc. I can get normies to listen to that record, but they wont sit through the Somberlain. Jon knew what he was doing.

@@MrNecryptic I'll give it another listen since you made a good point🤘

He committed pseodocide, was in a propaganda play of scripted murder and was never put in prison. A total fake. Probably never even wrote any of the music.

It's a world of bm I don't know too well I admit, but visually, from what little I know, DSBM is very into photography which is very interesting.

@@nuun-metaltheorist660 dsbm is depressive suicidal black metal and is a subgenres of black metal that explores extreme emotions instead of " hail Satan do crack and abortions" also this genre experiments a lot with genres such as post punk and regular rock

Thanks for letting me know about this!

I'd love to read that, thank you for letting me know!

I remember reading that! Very cool

Would like to check it out

In all honesty, the lyrics of Reinkaos are very rich and straight to the point. There's ZERO need for a "detailed analysis".

I read it. It sucks.
