Thank God we have antifa kiddies here to keep us safe by over reacting to everything

Never heard of him. So nothing of value was lost.

hey tc how are Nintendo switch sales doing? do you think theyll beat Wii U sales?

The cancelations stem from a 2007 photo of Taake frontmen Hoest with a swastika painted on his chest during a performance in Germany, with antifa having taken up the cause of pressuring venues to cancel their shows starting with New York City, and its been a snowball effect from there. Taake havent commented on the matter since February 16th following the NYC cancelation, but they vehemently denied any links to nazi ideologies or racism.

Eh

don't care

Thank God we have the Switch here to keep us safe by outselling Wii U in under a year.

Taake is trash. Hoest really is a piece of garbage.

Told someone to stop spreading drama on the internet when they expressed concerns that a band (Young and In The Way) he was touring with had several members commit sexual assault.

First off, Taake is not a "guy" it's an entire band, secondly it doesn't matter if they're an underground group, they've had their tour dates cancelled out of a witch hunt created by extremists and that's sets a dangerous precedent regardless of how you feel about the group itself or which way you lean politically .

People wearing Taake shirts who just wanted to see a band they enjoyed were fucking assaulted by antifa members because of witch hunt they created. Are you going to defend that too?

It actually seems to be cancelled because of a 2007 photo of Taake frontmen Hoest with a swastika painted on his chest during a performance in Germany, but maybe I'm actually reading the article and not making stuff up...

If they want to cancel their tour over a group that exists in here they are free to do so. This is a free country.

Why'd he paint a Nazi symbol on his chest? :v

Soo, this is what the band said about the swastika incident:

TAAKE is not a political Nazi band, etc. We certainly didnt expect the current threat reactions, as everyone should know by now that our whole concept is built upon provocation and anything [], and we truly apologize to all of our collaborators who might get problems because of the Essen swastika scandal (except for the Untermensch owner of that club; you can go suck a Muslim)!

Yeah, fuck these guys.

I don't think you can call it a witch hunt if they're literally doing Nazi shit TC. That's just called getting exposed.

yeah that's honestly more egregious than the nazi stuff

like i'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt since it is metal and plenty of non-racist bands have used nazi symbolism (on the other hand it's not like norwegian black metal doesn't have a notoriously dodgy history with white nationalism)

but that story about YAITW is pretty fucked

They aren't Nazis though and only did that for shock value because they were doing a show in Germany

So, it'd be fine if a White comedian went to the Apollo Theater and unironically called the audience a "pack of [n-word]s", just for the shock value?

You have something if they were a pop or a standard rock group. But they aren't, they're Norwegian black metal band whose entire purpose is to offend and shock this unfamiliar with the subgenre

You are the one giving them special treatment for being a metal band.

Good, f*** them.

It'd be one thing if they were just trying to be edgelords back then and apologized to people, but the only apology they ever made was to their "collaborators" for the trouble it caused them. They've since blamed people who would be offended by a swastika and have taken no responsibility. I believe them when they say they're not Nazis and were just trying to be edgy but the way they have handled it makes them deserve whatever they get.

So they accomplished their goal of shocking and offending and that's a bad thing now?

He just wants everyone to be happy they did shitty things for attention. Maybe because ZP agrees with the things they have done and didn't initially realize they were joking.

It doesn't mean there are no limitations on "shocking and offending".

If they had actually apologized this probably wouldn't have happened.

More like metal fans remember what happened. It's not as if there's a committee keeping tabs on every metal band and they scour their past when they go on tour.

Own up to your mistakes or pay the price. It's their fault for acting like manchildren and not apologizing.

sad thing is, we don't even need to dig very deep into ZP's past to show that he welched

I'll also say as a black metal fan that there's a growing sub-set of black metal white supremacists and racists that deserves to be subjugated. They need to get the message that they're not welcome in the wider metal community (I bet they're the type of morons who go into the pit with a full drink and create a swamp that everyone slips on).

It is kind of weird to announce in a very specific thread that you dont know anything about the subject being discussed, and then make a claim like nothing of value was lost. I mean how would you know that nothing of value was lost when you just admitted that you dont know shit about it?
---

Bunch of pussies to be honest.

Black metal shouldn't give a shit if it offends or not. That's kind of the beauty of it.
