Females are Clueless About Metal, Vol. 4.

Maybe it's unwelcoming because you're kind of a dum dum?

It seems like the, uh, research for this article was done by playing a game of telephone.  Why not just copy/paste from the Wikipedia article on Mayhem?

Also, if anyone is aware of any NSBM bands who actually wore SS uniforms and the like, please let me know so I can check them out!  I'm only aware of bands either following fairly standard BM aesthetic tropes, or looking like football hooligans.

Thankfully, her "music" and "journalism" endeavors seem to have ended a while ago.

I will add I have no particularly strong opinions about Pink Mass.  I remember before actually hearing them, they were often presented as some sort of war metal parody band, but in reality they primarily seem to be middling grindcore.  Just throw on some Naked Whipper instead (or for superior aesthetics coupled with better music, Tsatthoggua or Shitfucker).

If you don't get it, start reciting the titles of Sepultura releases in broken English.

From the second issue of Ballbuster* magazine.  Let's see who's responsible for such excellence in music journalism:

"I'm deluded enough to think being a contributor to a low quality magazine deserves a trip to Glamor Shots."

No surprise there.

*Below-average quality 'zine from the mid '90s that tried to cover a too-wide spectrum of rock and metal.  Chris Forbes was one of their BEST contributing reviewers which should immediately raise a warning flag.  Other less-than-shitty contributors include Keith Mensen of Mystic Force and Wayne Klinger from Half Speed fanzine.  Especially funny were try-hard "ball" puns stated throughout the issues ("band XYZ** has balls," "band XYZ is really on the ball, "ball one"--you get the picture) and the pictures of band members holding up copies of Ballbuster as if that aided credibility.  A solo-era Joey Belladonna clutching your publication is a rousing endorsement, no doubt about it.

**Out of respect for Nasty Savage, and by extension, the pornographic industry, XYZ will be used in lieu of XXX to refer to a generic, nonspecified band here.
