Vicarious shame 2.0

I know Liturgy is currently one of the most hated Black Metal bands around, but as amplifiedstrawberry has to keep this blog hipster-approved, I will just have to post their newly released video for Returner. Ridiculous Windows Movie Maker effects and slightly homo-erotic V-necks (*rawr*) below:


For those who have absolutely no idea what they just witnessed, today is your lucky day, because Hunter Hunt-Hendrix, their frontman, happens to be very good at analyzing his own work:

"And so so so, like, part of, part of the composing of Liturgy is sort of, in this like kind of sonata form vibe almost, you know, of sort of like making sure it kind of starts somewhere and then like creates like this huge rapture'ish amount of momentum, which comes from romanticism, which does have a natural connection to Black Metal 'though it's not always acknowledged."

So now you know, and knowing is half the battle,

Selwin.
