'tis indeed true Watain (Erik in particular) display a level of po-faced seriousness and all this cryptic 'evilness' could be seen as pompous beyond all belief

Seems true of a lot of black metal bands really. I'd love them back myself.

I object to them more than to their music, if that makes sense. Still, it is not for nothing that I refer to them as "Twatstain" and, if it be darkness they desire, then they will find plenty in their own lower intestines, where it seems to me their heads are firmly lodged.

To be fair, if I stopped listening to bands because I thought one or more of their members were knobheads I'd probably have about 3 bands left to listen to, if that.
Wouldn't mind seeing them headlining the Sophie tbh, though how the amount of fire and pyro they use would go over in a large tent I don't know.

On the 3 occasions I've sen Watain do headline shows, the closest they have had to pyro was a couple of candles on Erik's little altar. I know their production at some shows has been pretty large scale, we're not talking Rammstein levels yet so a tent slot is more than feasible. I still think they are too big for such though.

And I've got to agree with the sentiment behind that, really, because I'm a Megadeth fan. I just don't agree enough to want to see Watain again. I see why others do, but I really don't.

Lol, there is no way they would accept a slot on the Sophie Stage. They couldn't even hack playing below Dio Disciples.
