Been quite a long while since I've last listened to them...

I don't know any details, unfortunately, but I'll post about it if I hear anything.

Ah, these days when you wanna see nobody at all and just sit at home with a liter of beer in front of the computer. Socialising at its best.

perfect album cover too  

Jesus fucking Christ, dude, how self-important can you get? It's laughable that you'd sling around a word like "poseur" after saying that metalheads are "supposed to be badasses". You've done nothing here but posture about how jaded and knowledgeable you are. This whole thread is a bunch of hot air designed to draw people out so you can find something to disagree with. Has that worked out well for you elsewhere, or is this fulfilling an unmet need? There are lots of forums where it's the norm, so you should find someplace to fit in, provided you haven't already worn out your welcome. 
As far as who this forum is "for", it's a community, which I'm guessing is a concept that eludes you. It's for anyone who wants to hang out and talk about music and get along. You're not getting banned for calling names, you're getting banned for being a disagreeable shit and purposefully alienating the regulars. Thank you for providing us with this cursory introduction to your damaged psyche, and for keeping nearly all of your bullshit confined to this thread instead of spreading it far and wide.

Leviathan (Swe) – Far Beyond the Light

Charity concerts usually take place because a band with a certain fame and many fans is sure to achieve more money for the charity as they would by keeping it as a secret. You know, there are still enough people who think "My favourite band is playing? And they'll give the money to charity? That's two reasons for me to go there!".
I don't see anything bad at all with that.

Welcome! Make yourself at metalhome.

Unfortunately the label NSBM is way too often applied to any Black Metal band that plays in Germany, even to those that have absolutely nothing to do with these ideologies. There are actually a whole lot of people who simply try to cancel underground BM concerts just because they can.

If nothing goes horribly wrong I'll be providing the intro track which will be a summoning ritual. Nothing overly spectacular, but there may be some future collaborations as I'm friends with the band anyway.

First of all, this is not my own band but of a good friend of mine. I'm happy though that I'll be contributing to the upcoming album "Dawn of a Crimson Empire" which will be released in a couple of months through the German label Folter Records.
The band hasn't played many gigs yet, but a couple of months ago they had the honour to be the opener for an Inquisition gig on their tour. This track is taken from the 2015 demo.
 

Well, Blackened Death Metal (or Black/Death Metal) is just a blend of both genres, it doesn't matter which one is more prominent. Death Metal with "Black Metal" lyrics would still simply be Death Metal – just as Black Metal with other lyrics than you would typically expect is still Black Metal. There are BM bands with lyrics about philosophy, astrophysics, fantasy literature, gore themes, mental disorders... hell, there's even a band that sings about sewers. While some genres have a pool of lyrical themes you typically associate with it, the genre doesn't change because a band decides to sing about something that is untypical for that genre (unless you want to be super specific).
There are exceptions, of course, like that useless NSBM genre (National Socialist Black Metal). But political bands are a different topic. Unless the lyrical themes are (like in the case of NSBM) something drastic that is the main aspect for the sub-genre for one reason or the other, the music itself is still what defines the genre.

It fuckin' sucks when that happens and you wonder what the reason for that may be, whether you did something wrong or why they suddenly turned their back on you. It's hard to see getting betrayed by someone you thought to be a friend, but that doesn't mean you should stop trusting people. It happened and still happens to me a lot that I start trusting people too quickly and get my hopes high, but once in a while it pays off – and it makes up for all the disappointments you had before.
Let out your anger and frustration, it really helps. Don't bury it inside you or it will dwell and grow. And then just cut the line, look forward and think positively with misantropic underground black metal. And if needed, I'll send you pictures of fat fluffy animals.

I'm sorry for your loss, FatherAlabaster. Losing a beloved pet is always a terrible thing. When our first family dog died four years ago I was crushed. I hadn't seen him for over three months and he died one day before I was visiting my parents again due to a tumor that went undetected.
But you can at least bear her in good remembrance, knowing that she had the best life she could possibly have with you and your family.
