Rotwang

Interstate Highway is the only album of his I know, it is indeed very meh.

+1 What were his reasons?

HIPSTER DETECTED

Thanks! To be honest I'm not that big a fan of Psykovsky's albums (though I only own Da Budet and Tanetsveta). I think he makes some amazing tracks but also churns out a lot of barely-listenable (to me) filler.

Happy birthday, Muerto.

On the contrary, my post is the prettiest one here.

Something like this: 1: Kindzadza - Waves from Outer Space 2: Infected Mushroom - The Gathering 3: Overdream - Wonderwise 4: Dark Nebula - The 8th Sphere 5: Koxbox - Dragon Tales 6: Kindzadza - Waves from Inner Space 7: Hux Flux - Cryptic Crunch 8: Kraft - The Mysteries of the Sacred Universe 9: Enichkin - In Memory of Love 10: The Nommos - Primal Meltdown

I love the cover.

How did I "regulate" anything? I just stated some facts. Did I threaten to ban you? No. Did I give any indication that I intended to use my mod powers against you in any way? No. And yet apparently you think that my voicing an opinion is a reason to launch into a diatribe about the Psynews mod team. You are flying off the handle at nothing.

Any news, if you don't mind me asking?

I do. You are flying off the handle at nothing.

He didn't.

Autocorrect? Antic is a parent.

It sounds like Santorum.

I'm with antic on this one. I love Hari Om's singing, though. Is she on the new album?

Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

Only if that phone has an internet connection. In which case it can also be used to post on Psynews.

Then how is he posting on Facebook?

PLEBBIT

Sure. But the fact that many people make the same mistake doesn't make it any less of a mistake. In order for a reasonable person to conclude that darkpsy is evil or Satanic, that person must be aware of examples like the ones you give (or less obscure examples such as Horror Place or Devil's Mind Records) and yet somehow unaware of Kindzadza, Psykovsky, Enichkin, The Nommos, Ocelot, Alien Mental, or any of the other darkpsy artists who are far more well-known than the likes of Satanic Mutant (who?) and who don't fill their album covers or track titles with horror shit. Of course, most of the people pushing the "darkpsy is evil" myth are aware of those artists, and are not reasonable (I'm not saying that you are one of them, since you've made it clear that you aren't). I get sick of reading it; it's insulting, it isn't true, and it's used as an excuse to bash a genre I like by people whose real beef with darkpsy is this:

Miscellaneous tat.

As it happens I was talking with a guy who's mates with Varg a couple of days ago. He said he's a nice guy in person, which I could believe (even though I strongly disagree with both his views and his actions). I don't doubt it. I never intended to tar all BM with the same brush (in fact I didn't offer any opinion on the genre other than that I don't care for most metal), Burzum was just the first artist I thought of.

What, covers like these? Track names like "Horrorgram", "Deranger", "Psycho" or "Deeply Disturbed"? (Hint: none of the above examples is darkpsy.) We've been through this many times. Of course there are some darkpsy artists that use Satanic/horror imagery, as there are artists in other psytrance subgenres who do so. It may even be the case that most of the psytrance artists using horror imagery make darkpsy. That doesn't change the fact that the large majority of darkpsy artists do not use horror imagery, and that in fact their work has nothing to do with evil or Satanism.
