In an interview he stated that the blood that has been spilled over there is in the soil. I have never stepped on European soil, but I feel connected to that darkness in that I embrace it without fear as part of life.
@@AndrewMarloweTV Actually I was hoping they would do it. I get covered in blood sometimes at work. I do the butchering 3 days out of week at the restaurant I work at. I cook the other two. The worst was being covered head to toe in cold beef blood. Even when GWAR came to Japan they had signs everywhere telling people fake blood was being used. My wife was standing in the back. I was right there by the stage.
There are NO bands that can touch the mighty Watain today. They are not just any other black metal band. They are a beast standing on their own solid fundation built by their own merit. Yes they have their roots in certain black metal heritage but they have become much more and their inspirations grasps far beyond just that. And when it comes to Lyrics NO artists of today come close the brillance of Eriks lyrics. Unfortunatly or maybe "fortunatly" most people of today will never grasp the brillance of his lyrics outside of people who have a understanding of the esoteric, occult and spiritual world. A world forgotten by most and almost always complely misunderstood by almost everybody who come into contact with it and think they understand. Like the empty headed Atheists making fun of religious texst or ancient mythologies and believes when its in fact they themselves who are the clowns who cant even begin to understand the complexities and deeper meanings found within those tales and what lies inbetween the lines and imagery
Yea I agree haha I was making an example of a black metal band void of controversy like immortal. Although they do have personal and musical controversy like I mentioned
Always intriguing to see americans explaining to us laymen about black metal, if it weren't for the fact that you do not really know what you are talking about, but likely regurgitating what the internet says. Watain did not pioneer theistic satanism. It stemmed from bands like Ondskapt & Ofermod etc. Their "theistic satanism" is nothing but a derivate of the chaos gnostic perspective that bands like Dissection propagated in the early 2000s which is really akin to a New Age concoction.
WATAIN is the Real Thing. In todays world, everything is a LARP. Shallow, Disconnected, Casual. Not this band. They exemplify that Real Freedom that man can choose to embrace, if they only return to the Wilderness. The Primal Pagan Principle in line with Natural Law
Hmm Sworn to the Dark is not their most beloved album today. There is some aesthetic and spiritual(?) value to what they say and do. The takeaway is their holistic approach to art. Their way of life influences and is reflected in their art. As whether anyone decides to believe all their religious, ritualistic, and magic-related, stuff… well it is up to you. I have seen them live and there was no blood or vomiting. Just a passionate band giving their all on stage.
I like Watain's music, I find Erik's views interesting. On the other hand, they are showmen and businessmen and the fact that they have removed Set goes against the much-vaunted fuck-off attitude and freedom...
They are a great live band, seen them twice, great f**king shows, they should play 3-4 more songs at their shows and more blood and rotten carcasses, that's my only wishes, don't get me wrong, it's a 9/10 shows but to get a 10/10, they should do that!
anyone who is reading this comment ought to try the live bassists other band, XALPEN. the past few albums have outclassed anything Watain has done since Wild Hunt, which was the last good album in my opinion. Nuclear Alchemy and Sacred Damnation songs are cool enough but the last couple of albums have been worthless as a whole with no good songwriting to be heard. just randomly scattered parts of a machine, connected to the wrong sections.
Job was not tested by God haha, God gave Satan the power to test Job. Satan tested Job. God could prove through Job that Satan's thoughtprocess was wrong. Or you might be giving Satan God's title, than I'm wrong offcourse. Also, Satan is not ugly, he's beautiful actually. Axiomatic evil, but very beautiful and awesome. Bible tells these things. PS: This shit is also kinda cringe, myguy
Watain is Good. SHINING kills them though. Way better band, truth is there is no Point even comparing them… (But I did, I guess because they Are both Swedish bands) SHINING is Darker in every way Possible… easily my favourite Band (I like about 275 bands)
@louziffer9946 - well, the structure works. Don’t fix what’s not broken. I have all Shining albums and all Watain albums. The Darkness Shining invokes For me beats watain in every way. But to each his own, I guess.
Dude! Deep and very insightful. My appreciation for them has grown. Hail WATAIN 🤘☠️🔥
🤘 hails to you !
Watain kicks ass
Somebody is a chubby chaser
Cushion for the pushin.
My great friend was able to see them in Detroit. Unfortunately I have never witnessed them live.
Very well spoken truth about WATAIN!!!
In an interview he stated that the blood that has been spilled over there is in the soil. I have never stepped on European soil, but I feel connected to that darkness in that I embrace it without fear as part of life.
I seen them 2xs live. Unfortunately they couldn't use the blood being as they where playing in Japan. They could use fire though.
Your probably glad they didn't lol it would have smelled quite a bit

Watain isn't a Black Metal band. Watain is paint by numbers, run of the mill prolefeed.
@@ctrl8337 ok
poser
I thought Watson was a smallish band and I have only listerned to 1 album. I’m defiantly going to listen more
Saw Watain in 2007. Very good show.
Thsts awesome! I hope to experience them someday soon
Watain is anti cosmic. At least read Liber Azerate if you want to talk about their spiritual aspects.
Much appreciate your insights! It highlights Watain philosophy and the cult of the powerful dead!
What controversy does Immortal have? Don't get me wrong; I love Immortal but they're practically the Sesame Street of black metal.
Yea I agree haha I was making an example of a black metal band void of controversy like immortal. Although they do have personal and musical controversy like I mentioned
They’re drunks at their worst. Black metal’s KISS.
@@crilf5830 lmfao
One clue, two words: True Northern
You get watain 100% right man, gives me hope in people lol 😁🤘

Yea, I'm aware they weren't the first band to pioneer theistic Satanism, and the dissection infleluece on watain is strong for sure
I mean Eric played bass in Dissection. No surprise.
“Theistic Satanism”. Every bit as nonsensical as religion itself.
Watain is my favorite. I made a music video with their shirt.
Watain...the icons of the true essence of blasphemous Black Metal....cheers from Southern California 🤘🤘🤘🤘
nice review!

Yea like I said, I think they save most of the theatrics for special shows. Either way still a great band
Saw them in Wacken Yesterday. Special Lawless Darkness Show. I really liked it!!
Great video, man. I only knew them by name. Relevant information
Glad you enjoyed it. That was just the tip of the iceberg in watain world lol
I like Watain's music, I find Erik's views interesting.
On the other hand, they are showmen and businessmen and the fact that they have removed Set goes against the much-vaunted fuck-off attitude and freedom...
They claim that they didn't remove Set and I'm inclined to believe them
Watain are legends
what up
what in the hell is in the background
Art painted by me
@@AndrewMarloweTVpretty awesome, didn't expect you to draw them by yourself 👍🏻 also I love your cob shirt! Best wishes from Switzerland 🇨🇭👹
@@Hanniballinda got it on Amazon actually, need to get an official one from their site 😎
Watain is nsbm band in secret
They are a great live band, seen them twice, great f**king shows, they should play 3-4 more songs at their shows and more blood and rotten carcasses, that's my only wishes, don't get me wrong, it's a 9/10 shows but to get a 10/10, they should do that!
As controversial as your preference in paintings and women
@@Lirach666 lmfao
@AndrewMarloweTV but seriously. You going to leave everyone hanging? Is it like a carpathian forest f@$k you all album, plus sized fetish.
Speak up now... satan is listening
@AndrewMarloweTV please enlightening us. What pray tell is the deal with plus sized paintings
@Lirach666 those are the type I enjoy painting. Nothing more beautiful then a big woman
They're a great band, but killing cats for "Satan" is sick and stupid

Best black metal band !!! Too bad they are banned from the usa for a few more years. Visa problems
Wow, noticing your art of voluptuous women. I have 2 wonderful pieces by Phil Mendez from 1975 that were gifted to my late uncle by him.

Watain is Good.
SHINING kills them though.
Way better band, truth is there
is no Point even comparing them…
(But I did, I guess because they
Are both Swedish bands)
SHINING is Darker in every way
Possible… easily my favourite
Band (I like about 275 bands)
I don't care much for shinnings worldview, but I'm sure some of the music is good
I love both bands but shining sadly repeats ocer and over again the albums often have the same structure
@louziffer9946 -
well, the structure works.
Don’t fix what’s not broken.
I have all Shining albums and all Watain albums.
The Darkness Shining invokes
For me beats watain in every way.
But to each his own, I guess.
THAT GUY DOES NOT KNOW SHIT.METAL IS DEAD.I MEAN AS A BLACK METAL MUSICIAN I CAME UP WITH THIS CONCLUSION LONG AGO.🤔
Speak for yourself i guess lmao
You have negative charisma.
Why do you feel the need to make a comment like that? Don't watch then.
I'm honored he took the time to comment lol
