Black metal isn’t even worth hating

As MetalSucks quips,

For all its uber-seriousness, you can’t help but laugh at the ridiculousness of black metal.

There truly is nothing in the world more absurd, sad, and awesome to me than black metal. I often impersonate a black metal enthusiast during daily activities, just because it makes my life seem way more intense. These two chaps understand that philosophy, and decided to make a video of black metal cookie baking.

That was pretty extreme. While the video was poorly edited (which is funny, because it’s ragging on low-production-value black metal), the final scene of the two guys running into the woods in their backyard, poorly concealed by either a fog machine or an out of control barbecue grill, made up for it.

After trolling around YouTube (ha ha, get it? black metal is about trolls!), I found some absolutely killer parodies of black metal music videos. Then I looked up the originals and realized it would be funnier to just show those. Enjoy.
