Those kids sure don't like beverages. Orange juice, coffee, Capri Sun, smoothie: all rejected.

See, I never would have thought to try to get my atmospheric-indie-pop friends and my death metal friends to collabo-jam, but, now, that seems to be a short-coming on my part. When the back of your mind says, "Never the twain shall meet", I guess you have to ignore it. It seems concessions were made though: a drum machine replacing the double-bass drum, hmmm.

Thank you, sir. I didn't know what to make of it at first but when I saw Visual Kei included, it was then that I realized that I had some serious geography to explore and learn from.

That'd be Death Metal, not Black Metal.
Get yourself an LP featuring "C is for Cookie." Played at 16rpm instead of 33, it's Death Metal; played at 45rpm, it's Black Metal. Or, to put it another way, Death Metal sounds like it's sung by a giant evil Cookie Monster, whereas Black Metal sounds like it's being sung by a really horrified cookie just as it's about to be rendered to a scattered mess of crumbs while also learning an important lesson about never mixing acid and angel dust ever again.

Just to be clear, Black Metal is what's being parodied in the video. Not necessarily fast or slow, but played by people who are inspired visually by the likes of Kiss and Gallagher.
Death Metal is usually always played ridiculously fast by dudes in black shirts and jeans.

Once again, that is a wonderful map. If Mr. Galbraith has seen to include Brian Eno, Tortoise, and Stereolab in there, I hope he will not have any problems including Double Leopards and Wolves in the Throne Room in his next rendition. Bully for him.

If anyone is curious about which of the 40-50 sunny LA beaches with a pier that this was filmed on, it's Venice. I almost didn't recognize it because it looked so... err, cleaned up and not as metal as it used to be.

Kids wandering around in black metal grease paint? No, not usually. Sitting on a sunny beach? Sometimes.
Mostly you sit in a car for hours and hours scurrying around to and fro trying to pay your rent or mortgage. Venice is very green, pretty, gentrified and generally expensive these days. Most people in LA don't live in one of these pretty beachside suburbs or small towns. The LA area is something like 150 miles wide in some places. A mile or three inland from a beach and it rapidly just turns into endless miles of urban, concrete, not pedestrian friendly and hot.

I love the simultaneous contradiction regarding black & death metal in this thread. Which one includes satanic imagery? That map makes a cool art project but it's stupid to use. Cute video, nothing spectacular.

Heh polyhedron: I did the usual searches and that reference as well as the kidney and male descendant came up but didn't seem to fit. Now it occurs to me that perhaps JOGGER was trying to communicate that they really hated Julie and Julia, Sleepless in Seattle and Silkwood.

Both deal in satanic imagery to some extent, but black metal uses satanism as a serious (or mock-serious) ethos. Death metal satanism seems to have largely died out (old school bands like Deicide, Incantation, and early Morbid Angel), while black metal satanism is going strong (Belphegor, Watain, early Emperor and Darkthrone, Gorgoroth, Marduk, Arkhon Infaustus, Dissection, etc). And of course, there is a fair amount of cross-pollination. For a definitive list and discography, have fun exploring this (warning: slow).

The kids in class used to make fun of me
No one understood me, just because of who I was
When I learned how to drive, I decided to drive to a metal show I heard about. Maybe I'd meet someone like me there
I met some people, but they listened to dumb stuff like Testament and Godsmack
I told them they listen to pussy much, inferior to bands like Burzum and Gorgoroth
Those losers said no one likes black metal, they said I was stupid, they said I needed to get a life
Little did they know...
