According to Blabbermouth in 2008;
Earlier this year (starting around March),the Canadian branch of KFC (also known as Kentucky Fried Chicken),a chain of fast food restaurants based in Louisville, Kentucky, started airing a commercial for its "wicked crunch box meal" featuring a fictional black metal band called HELLVETICA.

One Russian numetal coming up right away! The chick is hot, the song is great - what more could you ask for?
 

As for Metallica, there's only one way they could make me their fan - if Hettfield leaves the band bc he can't sing.

If Lindemann returns to the band, yes, I would. I stopped listening to Nigthwish for the same reason - no more Tarya in the band.
An apology would help only if they return to what they were, otherwise it's just words. "We're sorry we disappointed you but we got to greedy for money".

IDK about other people, but I know which band pissed me off - Rammstein. IDK why or when but they're no longer industrial metal, they're... something else. That's why I haven't updated my collection and stick to my favorite 20 songs only.

Oh, I don't hate them either. But I know what they're capable of, so I prefer to keep my distance from them, especially from the parasites wearing black robes, also known as "priests".
Here's the full version of the image I posted above, it's just a small example of what religious people are capable of. If I start listing everything I know and everything I or my family members have ever experienced with them (the bigger part is related to the black robes parasites), I'll hit the "submit reply" button next week...

There's no such a thing as "loving hands" with religion. Religion is just horror and hatred disguised as love (all religious are disguised as love) and there's plenty of evidence for that: the few hundred bodies of children found near a Canadian catholic school a year or two ago; the hundreds, if not thousands, of children raped by catholic priests over the last 200 years alone, not to mention before that; the millions of adults, children and even animals killed in the 1000 years of Dark Age by the loving religion after they've been accused to be "witches"; or the torture devices invented by the Spanish Inquisition which was catholic - that's a great example of love!; or if we go back to more recent times - the genocide in 1994 in Africa commited by the loving priests of the catholic church.......
Don't forget that the book of the christian imaginary friend is full of murders and commandments to kill people, including children and pregnant women!

And the christian religion isn't the only monster always lurking under the children's bed! The muslim religion is exactly the same - 9/11, that French magazine that was bombed for ridiculing the arabs' imaginary friend, adult male get married to 5-6 years old little girls in the muslim world and kill them by brutal sex (there were some artices a few years ago about a 40+ yo muslim who brutally raped his 6 yo bride and she died) but he wasn't punished bc in that world she was his property and that's not just an isolated case in the totally messed up muslim world...
You know how to use Google, look up all these cases yourself, then keep telling yourself religion and the imaginary friend are love... 🤣

What if they are lovingly fondled by the warm, soft hands of religion?

Restricting any kind of music was the communism trademark and equals dictatorship. If you wanna be a dictator, be my guest, but don't expect any support from the sane people.

noticed we don't have one of these so here's a place to talk about all those great things on the tv past and present and I'll start by saying how fucking brilliant is Game Of Thrones

IMO they all do it for the image. No sane person would have an imaginary friend, whether it's the devil or the cloud deity.

I have. But the "Feast" trilogy is much better. ;)

I'm from Bulgaria but I don't listen to Bulgarian music much. There is one that I prefer above all others but they're more like rock music with some metal elements - Obraten Efekt. And also Akashti Djudjeta (which translates as something like "Pooping Gnomes").
As for specifically metal, there is one with some good music:

Hey. I' d like to hear some black metal without blastbeats.
Sometimes I' d google something like it but would end up with hearing bunch of blast-beats and mindless screaming. But I want to hear something GOOD. Like, let' s say Burzum. I know that bar is set high, but anyways, maybe some of you can help me out?
No blastbeats, no mindless screaming. Just some basic drumming or whatever drumming that is not a blast-beat filled drumming, normal vocals. Shouldn' t be like "beautiful" or technical, but shouldn't sound like a rat that's being raped.
Thank you!

1. Thyrfing.
2. Svartsot.
(these two will always be numbers 1 and 2, no matter what)

3. Mezarkabul.
4. Ravdina.
5. Satyricon.

I went through a huge viking metal phase about twelve years ago. I usually keep all my viking metal CDs in the same section as the Folk Metal, and Pagan Metal. I tend not to make too close a distinction between these three so called genres. 
My favourite viking metal bands are: Thyrfing, Einherjer, old Enslaved, Falkenbach, and the first two Tyr albums and Moonsorrow. I do include Moonsorrow as a viking metal band as their first few albums in particular were very much on those themes. 
Just amazing stuff. I was pretty obsessed back in 2001-2007, walking around listening to these bands and thinking I was olde school Odin. Good times.
