CHICK-FIL-A WILL BOYCOTT BLACK METAL SUPERGROUP TWILIGHT
This whole Chick-Fil-A nonsense just won’t go away.
According to The Examiner, the embattle chicken sandwich chain announced that they would no longer support black metal supergroup Twilight now that Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore has joined its ranks.
We are very much supportive of the arts — the traditional definition of art as a transcendental aesthetic experience,” Cathy said. “We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we mostly listen to the first albums from Emperor, Burzum, Immortal, Darkthrone and Enslaved. We give God thanks for that.
The group — which includes Nachtmystium’s Blake Judd and Sanford Parker, Wrest (Jef Whitehead), Isis’ Aaron Turner and The Atlas Moth’s Stavros Giannopolous — recently inked a deal with Century Media and announced the addition of Moore to its ranks.
Moore, known for his work with self-pitying indie group Sonic Youth, has ended speculation about whether black metal would be assimilated by indie rock by joining supergroup Twilight, which was not named after the Teen Paranormal Romance best-seller but has many similar attributes.
Previously, black metal was known for its reliance on complex melodic and phrasal interactions to propel its myriad riffs together as a song, but now it is expected that minor key noodling, one string droning, and bittersweet emotional suspension disguised as poignant profundity will re-define the genre.
We’ll update you with more on this breaking scandal as soon as we get it.
