Nergal is half-right and has no self-insight.

Yes, Nergal is right about the metal scene being flooded with too many bands. And isn't it funny how he compares himself with Cliff Burton?

Well, he's right about there being too many bands. Back in the evil days when Black Metal was a dangerous subculture, lead by narcissistic sociopaths and evil-wannabees, it was more difficult to find extreme metal music. But even then, for those of use who traded tapes and bought demos, we sooner or later would have heard the same riffs over and over, seen the same stupid titles and standard photos. Behemoth was one of those bands. started out as blackmetal with the typical standard shitty sound and generic riffs á la Scandinavian black metal bands. Then it morphed into more skilled musicianship and started ripping off Morbid Angel riffs. And now, their recent album? A complete snore. Why? Because we've already heard that sort of stuff OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER.

So please, don't start a band that sounds like Behemoth. In fact, it woudl be better if Nergal stopped releasing metal too. The scene is too flooded. BUT the failure here is not the bands. It's the fact that the bands put out their music far too early. Labels release anything that is somewhat so-so. Instead, there should be higher demand from listeners and labels that the bands are UNIQUE..

So the best thing would be if labels became pickier instead of open to all kinds of generic crap just to fit their over-saturated genre, and it would be better if the bands waited with trying to release an album as soon as possible. Better release a killer debut than a generic one. Better release a killer demo of merely four tracks than an album of ten mediocre top of the mill crap.

Yes, and it would be better if many of the "giants" of today called it quits. And I get it, you like to play live - but really.. do you? do you like the play the same damn songs over and over because it's what the fans want to hear? Do you want squeese out an album every damn year because that's what the fans want and you thereby run out of material? Because you simply don't have enough time to let your creativity ripen into something interesting? Well, fuck those fans.

"When I asked why he was so thin and if he had an illness, he replied that he just liked to starve. To be honest, I never saw him eat during the days on tour, he only drank a lot of tea and was happy when there were hot drinks backstage. The others were satisfied with beer.

I looked at him a little helplessly. What was wrong with him? The self harm thing I could just understand as a show element, but was it okay for him to starve on purpose as an act of self-torture? Did he want to vanish into thin air? Did he feel his body as an enemy? As worthless?

Why does a person do such a thing to themselves, I asked myself. I wasn't a psychologist and didn't want to dig deeper. We didn't know each other enough for that and I thought it would be uncomfortable for him to talk about it. But something must have gone seriously wrong in his development."- Abo Alsleben "MAYHEM Live in Leipzig – Wie ich den Black Metal nach Ostdeutschland brachte" 🦇
