    In 1992 the black metal band Immortal made what is considered to be one of the worst music videos of all time: Call of the Wintermoon

    Immortal is actually a really great band if you like black metal, but the video is painful to watch lol

    Aaron Carter’s “How I beat Shaq” is pretty hilarious. They actually got Shaq in it, but it’s clear that Aaron Carter had no idea how to play basketball. And they have to make it look like he’s better than Shaq? Yeah right

    The other video I posted made me remember what may be the actual worst video of all time. Really all of his videos are so bad they almost seem like a parody, but he was super serious about all of it lol

    Watch FADADES at your own discretion

      Last I saw it isn’t actually clear whether or not Fadades is parody or legitimate. Very clear in any either case that Fadades is great.

      Especially within a genre like black metal where bands will make contra-conventional artistic decisions by way of course as it is, stumbling upon a vibe like this out of honest artistic expression vs. deriving it with a manifest ambiguity where the tongue seems to sprout from the cheek almost hardly matters. However Fadades came to be, it’s a monument to whatever it actually is.

    for me its about the contrast between an amazing song and an absurdly terrible video that in no way captures the tone or feel or quality or intent or expression of the song. for my money its depeche mode’s leave in silence.
