YouTubers New Catholic Generation took a full 16 minutes to talk about Immortal and the 90s black metal scene, and it's surprisingly not the most awful thing of all time. They basically think it's kind of silly, which when you really think about a bunch of dudes running around in face paint that kind of makes sense, and actually provide some insight. At some point they talk about how black metal is akin to violent video games, where as long as you make the distinction between real life and fantasy, who cares… and that's way more sense than I expected.
Obviously I'm not on board with the religion, and the video has quite a few cringey moments, but this is far less awful than I thought. I wonder how they'd react to stuff like Believer or Extol? However, some of the comments on the video are as bad as I thought the video would be. Y'know, since some metal fans just feel the need to make other metal fans look like idiots.
