1) Vegan Black Metal. Gotta be a joke. Real Black Metal Heads would eat the brains of freshly killed goats and virgins out of the skulls of children as bowls.
2) Wait. Look at all that kit. Those knives must cost hundreds, alone, let along all that leather gear (wait - I hope it's pleather, MR VEGAN). That's a mighty expensive joke if it is one.
3) Look at those delicate hands. They need more scars.
4) YEAAAAAAAAAOOOWHWH.
5) Needs more graphic descriptions of all the ingredients. "SMASH THE TOMATOES INTO A PASTE THAT LOOKS LIKE CURDLED BLOOD" and shit like that.
6) I sense a sequel to Parappa and Um Jammer Lammy

I dunno, Kuma's is heavy metal and definitely not vegan make(s) a great fucking burger(s)!
Their least vegan burger; one with a slice of fried 5-layer pork belly on top is one of the best things I`ve ever tasted.
Then again, vegan and hardcore? Drizzle hand-shredded Kale with olive oil and crackle on sea salt. Oven bake on "grill" (500'F) until crispy.
Kale, to me is purely a garnish. Roasted with salt? Vegan grindcore crispy snack.
Needs to be consumed within 20 min or it gets soggy and loses the 'metal.'

This is really something of a thesis. After 25 years or so of black metal it's easy to see black/death metal's ridiculousness, its comical flailing about for self-preservation, and mostly its (hilarious) dedication to self-importance.
As an analog to veganism, black metal comes perfectly wrapped in a (black) bow.

That was fun, but he can't be serious about the sugar. Pad thai is not dessert.
Thai folks actually keep sugar on the table next to their multiple varieties of crushed red pepper and prik naam plaa. And generally speaking, it's astounding how much goddamn sugar they use in everything. Granted, this guy isn't Thai, but anyways...
Pad thai without egg is like the bible without jesus.
More to the point, pad thai without dried shrimp and naam plaa is like the old testament without a capricious, vengeful, petulant god. There's gotta be a black metal metaphor in there somewhere
And I can only explain his choice to break the noodles up before soaking them to some sort of expression of his rage coming from the darkness of his black vegan soul (if I had to guess, relating to not being able to add dried shrimp and naam plaa to the recipe because of his self-imposed vegan constraint).
But I thought this was a pretty fun video, although I couldn't sit through all 14 or whatever minutes.

Black Metal Shoegaze band?
If I can go all music genre nerd that sounded more like post-punk/goth to me, but thanks for linking, I'd not heard of them before. I was thinking more of stuff like Alcest, where it's more or less out and out shoegaze.
I prefer stuff that's shoegaze/post-rock influenced, like Altar of Plagues.

Hahaha I totally have that little bone-sheath tanto thing that he uses to add the peanut butter. It's hard to tell from the video, but in real life you can tell that the closed sheath is designed to look like an erect penis covered in skeletons. No joke.
Also, this seems like something that might be related to Atmospheric Black Metal Kitchen, a sweet metal blog and occasional vegetarian recipe depot which unfortunately hasn't been updated in nearly a year.

Black metal and shoegaze? Thats 2 things I would have NEVER thought I would see together.
It's not black metal, but I think there's real potential for doom croon, or even blackened doom croon.
Doom croon has, on the one hand, the intimate, close-miked, "smoke-filled room" sound of ordinary croon. But all the singing takes place at very low frame-rattling registers, with most doom crooners having undertaken serious study in the kargyraa style of Tuvan throat singing. The extent to which the singer attempts to retain the "smoothness" of traditional croon or embraces the "roughness" is, understandably, an individual stylistic choice.

In fact the above description kind of fits Brodequin, at least as far as the vokills go. While Tenesseean deathgrind is not doom croon, I think that listening to it helps one understand the outlines that any doom croon would have to conform to.

I wonder if there ever will be a Mefi thread that even remotely touches on veganism/vegetarianism that doesn't have carnivores chiming in about how this or that person isn't a TRUE vegan because he doesn't follow some mystical rules that the carnivore read in Hamburger Monthly?
Oh - and sugar? A real vegan would make certain to use the kind that doesn't use animal bone char in processing.
let along all that leather gear (wait - I hope it's pleather, MR VEGAN)
I hope all those candles weren't made of beeswax.
We get it carnies, you're deeply conflicted about eating meat while knowing the suffering the animals went through to get to your plate. And so you mock people that don't eat meat to salve your shriveled souls. It's so very tiresome.

I had the same initial thought Purposeful Grimace. Some people take it upon themselves to be some sort of vegan police and try to catch people in the act of not being vegan. Why the fuck do they care? I'm actually surprised we had a vegan thread without some ignorant asshole chiming in with "HURFDURF WHERES DA BACON?"

I loved this, but I can't believe he didn't put a Skinny Puppy CD into the pot when he said "Weight the tofu down with something heavy".
I loved this so much that I really didn't care that it was the WORST Pad Thai recipe I have ever seen.

BLACK METAAAL is the bacon of music genres. It's a win/win for everyone. Hooray Satan.

I lasted a minuted and a half. I wanted to like it but the recipe did not look promising.

I guess that's where I veered off. I can't imagine watching that for 14 minutes.

Witch house is basically black metal and chillwave.

That bugs me too (oh no! you've exposed a trivial inconsistency! I'm off to McDonald's!) but I admit my first thought when I saw that bag of sugar was that it didn't look vegan.
