it doesn't get better than this. such venom and fire inside them. those who ignore their sincerity are just as blind and those they oppose. brilliant band nothing more needs be said
This soul prayeth not for victory, but for loss this body kneeleth not in vain, but in blood these eyes seeth not nil, but truth These words are spoken not by me, but through.
Same thing happened to me, saw them on the 29th. I used to believe that they were overrated, but after smelling death on them and Erik going all out on stage, they deserve their good recognition. Plus, I met Erik and he was genuinely nice. Who would have thought? Hail Watain|m/
@Atrumus Generally Watain and Dissection share the same ideology. The only thing that separates them are their musical composition techniques. Other than that they're quite bonded. Member wise too.
I can picture these guys after the show, piling backstage, showering; changed into their savile row pinstripes, sitting down and having a cup of earl grey and some cucumber fucking sarnies.
@xeri3 Why do you compare them ? It's not even the same kind of music. Watain is a pure classical black metal band, Dissection was something very unique.
@Trashercorpse ... J'aurai aussi "grave les boules (... psttt ah non j'en ai pas !!) si je les avais raté .... oh !! fallait pas rater ça.... !! ... n'oublie pas la prochaine fois ..... Bises métalleuses...!!
I LISTEN TO A LOT OF DIFFERENT METAL STYLES WITHOUT LOOKING AT ANY RELIGIOUS IDEALS FOR ME ALL RELIGIONS ARE DANGEROUS ... AS WELL THE POLITICS .... BACK TO TALK THE MUSIC WATAIN ARE CERTAINLY ONE OF THE BIGGEST ENTITIES IN THE METAL MUSIC SCENE AND THEY ARE EXCELLENT IN WHAT THEY DO NOT DOUBT ... WILL SEE THEM LIVE NEXT MARCH IN PORTUGAL WITH SHINING + AOSOTH FOR SURE.
@MarquisEstelle Have you ever been thinking like this: You can have all the knowledge about your guitar, but that doesn't mean you could make good music. Complicated doesn't mean automatically good
@tasteegold7772 well dude after all you are going to see a show and they just want to put on a good one they just bring more to the table for live shows
Ouais y avait WATAIN a 7 à 8 mdr ^^ ( "dégagez" qu'ils disaient !! eh eh ) à Tf1 Déjà en 2008 watain sur le Hellfest, mais c'est toujours aussi excellent . @Scorptigerine : j'ai fait une petite photo avec Erik et A quand meme ça ratrappe le coup ! ces mecs là ont sorti un petit chef-d'oeuvre avec Lawless Darkness.
@xeri3 Look at it this way though, if it werent for the connection to Dissection (hoho rhyme), dont you think Watain would have a smaller fan base than they have now? In the world of Black Metal elitists.. its all about who acknowledges who isnt it?
@Lynk1992 nah, aussie shows are pretty good, crowds are always really good, but the sound does tend to be pretty shit, but the overall atmosphere at every show is always really good
such wacky fucking theatrics man LMAO.. more recent marduk immortal emperor and shit like that i'm heavy into cause its a little more down to earth but this stuff is just over the top..i mean flaming pitchforks??..all ya need is a dude dressed in a red spandex devil suit to run out on stage to top it all off!
@misanthrope333 They are actually anti-cosmic satanists. They don't believe in the devil as a being such as in the Bible. They believe in some power within the universe they call lawless darkness. But yea its not something I fully agree with. I am my own god, plain and simple, love their music and I still get plenty out of it though. :P
@tasteegold7772 it's still called putting on a show for a reason. I'd much rather see this than pay for some losers that look like they just got off work at the gas station.
Hahahaha. What he says in the beginning. I mean, I find it really hard to take them serious at all. Musically, they are pretty talanted. But this whole satanic thing, I mean. Hahaha. They are quite outnumberd by their "enemies". But whatever.
This is kind of boring. I hope hell is not boring that would really be like boring. Oh man I bet it is cause boring is the worst punishment of them all. Thank you Watain for boring me to death. You truly won.
@TRUEGUITARHERO2171 then why are u a christian? do you really believe in the creation myth? what sense is there in god sending his "only" son (though all humans are so called "god's children"...) which is at the same time himself to die for all humanity's sins? and if god is almighty how could satan lure eve into eating the fruit? if you dont believe in hell then where do all the non christians go after death?
Stop sayin' Watain's Better or Dissection's better... You all look like this fkin' kids sayin' Metallica's better than Megadeth & visceversa. We all know who's better, and of course it is Dissection. Deal with it Watain Baby Fan Boys! P.D. I'm not sayin' that i don't like Watain. But of course Dissection is way way way better.
Fernando Maldonado Watain is my favorite, Dissection is my all-time number 2. Really, it's a subjective matter. For some, Watain have has touched them on a deeper level. Others, Dissection. It doesn't have to be a competition
yeah i know the crowd looks real into it too eh..they're as still as drugged up mannequins ready to fall asleep LOLOL..and as for the band they just hide their embarrassment behind corpsepaint and their balding hairlines.
