"Watain from sweden to me are like Hellhammer reborn, and I mean that in a
totally positive manner. Watain approach their music with a certain level of respect,
and a certain level of mystique. What they are doing is not just a performance;
it goes much deeper than that. That reminds me so much of the good sides of Hellhammer."
- Tom G Warrior, Celtic Frost (UB Magazine Australia)
If you've ever read his blog or talked to him, you know Tom Warrior is completely full of shit. WATAIN include this quote on their official website, trying so desperately to raise their credibility in the underground. Their childish begging for acceptance was already there on <<CASVS LVCIFERI>> when they brought in members of ANTAEUS, FUNERAL MIST and KATHARSIS to write some of their lyrics. Members of WATAIN are clever and calculating and did this because they knew those bands had respect. But their posturing was never more obvious than when they sided up with DISSECTION, opening for them and with E. playing live bass. Jon's suicide was when the light bulb went off over E.'s little head and he saw his golden opportunity. They brought Set Teitan on board as a live member, solidifying the connection with DISSECTION and then became the poster boys for the extremely Jewish/Christian Temple of the Black Light. Yes, that is right. These hardcore Satanists believe in god. Don't trust me? Google it. E. has said it himself. Your new black metal gods think YHWH exists. What a joke.
And what the fuck is up with E.? Could this dude be more of a faggot? He looks like Dani Filth's mini-me, especially in the super gay magazine pics they have done lately. The beer belly tattoos are the icing on the cake.
Now we come to this year, WATAIN release <<SWORN TO THE DARK>> and holy shit is this bad! When they first leaked the title song on MySpace, I knew this was going to be the drizzling shits. After listening to the whole cd I feel like my ears have been raped. This couldn't be more watered down. They were trying so hard to be like old school MAYHEM with the last cd but this time they decide to keep riding the coattails of DISSECTION, post-mortem. This piece of shit is a slightly more black metal version of DISSECTION's last turd <<REINKAOS>>. These pussies really got in touch with their feelings, with so many melodic parts that you just want to fucking puke. The production sucks dick too, sounds almost as clean as a DIMMU BORGIR cd. This is cookie-cutter black metal for all the kiddies. NoEvDia will probably drop them now since they're not kvlt enough. Maybe they can go sign to Century Media and tour with LACUNA COIL.
Talking about tours, these jackoffs are getting more exposure by touring with KREATOR and CELTIC FROST, resulting in the hyperbolic quote at the top of this page and even more little dickhead fans that think this is the most evil shit ever. Yep, a black metal band that believes in Jewish and Christian fantasy is real dark and evil. And proving how liberal and multiculti Sweden is, WATAIN is employing not just the Italian midget from DISSECTION and ABORYM, but they brought in some greasy brown monkey from Chile to play live too. He is almost as goofy looking as E. with his receding hairline and silly tattoos on his bald spot.
While the media hypes WATAIN as the next big thing, Master Vlad of the Temple of the Black Light will be happy to see his fake Satanist organization get more brainwashed sheep followers and see the sale of more DISSECTION cds (rumor is he owns the rights to the name after he ruined Jon's life and drove him to suicide). Just be careful not to tell WATAIN what fags and posers they are to their faces. They run like a gang and aren't man enough to fight one on one. I have the scars to prove it.
