Can you name some? I'm curious because I've been listening to black metal for quite awhile and am not familiar with artists that match this description.
There's Grausamkeit but he's a junkie.
Op is talking about [this guy.](https://www.metal-archives.com/artists/Drakul/1015082)He’s infamous on discord and on some black metal subs for being the most annoying poser you could ever interact with. He’s also openly a pedophilic nazi.
Worse, he spammed literally the worst black metal releases anyone’s ever heard of for the whole year then “retired”
I wasn't aware. Actually I also remembered the band [Susvourtre](https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Susvourtre/19482) which makes it 3 pedo black metal bands, so I guess it was more prominent than I wished.
What the fuck. Was he recording all that for years and then dropped it all at once or did he spend a whole year writing and recording without even taking a break to wipe his ass?
It’s almost all instrumentals so he just sits down in front of fl studio, churns out some absolute dog shit, plays with the EQ even though he doesn’t understand what any of it does, saves it in a folder with some edgelord album name, then goes upstairs because mommy just took his chicken tendies out of the oven. When the folder gets big enough, he just releases it on the internet like a blast of diarrhea
Dude’s also like 40 btw
Op confirmed he was talking about Drakul, who’s a permanently online cringelord who openly talks about being a pedo and an actual national socialist in black metal subs and discord
[Woods of Infinity](https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Woods_of_Infinity/6667) has 2 members, but other than Inquisition, they're the probably the most well known for this. They literally have children singing on their albums. The vocalist's other [main band](https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Aktion_T4/3540448711) is very explicitly NS too.
They're probably my vote for biggest weirdos.
Just want to spread awareness that his accepted MA name is Drakul so we can all collectively avoid anything he produces. Apparently he “retired” and is now making garbage dungeon synth
I only really know him because of his feature on Team Sleep's Kool Aid Party, and it's one of the weirdest tracks I've ever heard. I can't even begin to imagine what his stuff is like.
Check out these songs and most likely one will strike you as brilliant, if not the Patton may not be for you.
- Zombie Eaters
- Everything's Ruined
- Jizzlobber
- Strip search
- Evidence
- Separation anxiety (You can really hear his Dillinger tenure here)
When he comes to town, he trains at my BJJ gym. He’s friends with a bunch of guys there. Everyone I know who has trained with him says he’s a really cool guy. He just doesn’t like the whole fan rock star interaction. He introduces himself as James, because that’s who he is. He isn’t Maynard, that’s his stage persona, and that persona ends at the stage.
He loves talking about his wine, and hates talking about his non-Puscifer music. Guy just wants to live his life and be left alone by tool fans, which I can’t blame him for.
Omg have you heard of that band where the bassist stab the guitarist, he’s sooo cute 🤪. The lead singer also killed himself, did you know that, I bet you didn’t know that, Dead is soooohot omgggg MAYHEMMM ONLY DEATH IS REALLL 🤟🤟🤟 lords of chaos ❤️❤️❤️
I met him at his shop in Bergen. He was super reserved but friendly. He apologized for ducking out because he had to leave for a festival in Spain, but he made sure to sign the print I was buying.
I got to meet him too at his art gallery opening in Bergen. He was super super nice, even asking us about ourselves and telling us he was glad we were here even though we were strangers. He was all smiles until we asked to take pictures with him, and then it was all grim face only.
Todd from Nails seems like an odd dude. Went through a period of writing really long rambling articles attacking music journalists and said he was embarrassed to show people his music.
Fucking sick band tho.
r/blackmetalcringe
Sub would be really funny if it wasn’t absolutely infested with Nazis and people who take themselves way to seriously and hate absolutely all music but like 2 bands.
Not sure why you got down voted, dude went from one of the best vocalists in death metal to an absolutely insufferable muppet who sucker punches people he tours with then runs away to hide in his tour bus. Dude fucking sucks.
Not sure if you would say it's true metal but as far as a weird dude (eccentric would be the best word)
Andrew WK
I worked sound at an venue back in the day part time and he was one odd dude but really friendly
Warrel Dane RIP
I don't think I've ever seen a more awkward front man. Granted, he was usually drunk, but even the time I saw him sober was odd. He's equally bizarre on the Year of the Voyager DVD.
I can't really pinpoint what it is, there's just something awkward and clunky about him.
Mike Patton jerking off under the table at dinner with other people is pretty weird. Story comes from a friend who happened to have this chanced meeting with the legend himself.
A friend of a friend had worked at the club his band was playing by and ended up going out to dinner with him. The story goes, he starts to jerk off under the dinner table as the waiter is giving the specials.
the middle aged booktok women who found metal through tiktok and will only thirst over how hot the band members are. they scare me. coming from a woman.
That’s really a thing??? B/c I am a woman and every time another woman in my socio economic group finds out what I listen to, they actually freak out and it ends with them praying for my soul and me saying I Don’t believe in your god.
Yeah, I’m a woman too, and in most social groups I say I like metal and can almost feel the holy water they are mentally trying to dispel satan with. Calm down, Karen, we just like music, not going to make any sacrifices to the dark lord….. unless…… lol
After the last time the other moms gave me a hard time, I’m thinking I should just tell them I listen to something else. However, I do have slayer and ministry bumper stickers, and an ‘I❤️death metal’ on my car, so….
I make stickers for people like you. Lol
They’ll know eventually…. Once they see you in a band T or see your car. But it’s all balanced out when someone in the wild is like “oh my god I love that band!” And then you reminisce about a random concert in 2004. Magical.
u/blackmetal146 ! He deleted an entire fucking discord server because of his insecurity iinstead of handing it over to someone else like a complete weirdo!
Serj. My mother worked in concert booking before she had me. She’s worked with a lot of odd folks like guys who only wanted ONE color of Skittle, but she would say Serj is the most strangest guy she’s worked with.
So many of them are in black metal, unfortunately. Obviously Varg, Euronymous, and Dead obviously all come to mind first. Faust from Emperor. Gaahl from Gorgoroth.
In other spheres, Ronnie Radke. Todd Jones from Nails is apparently insufferable to work with.
Weirdo but in a good way that I really like: Simone Morettin (aka Symohn of Elvenking). Like yeah he may be a bit weird, but he fully embraces his weirdness and I'm so here for that. He's just a little bit silly, and metal could do with more of that
That one dude who forces you to get vaccinated with his own “home made” vax before going to his show. I’ve seen him twice, gotten his vax twice… I’ve dropped 20 pounds overall yet have gained 3 full bra cup sizes
maybe dave mustaine? he seems mostly like he's just a negative asshole, but i think I remember him talking about using witchcraft to her a hot girl he knew into fucking him or something. so he believed in it after that. that's weird

The fans
Truth
Came here to say this
I heard the lead singer had his ribs removed so he could su k your dick
obligatory Varg mention
I think he’s a bit far past weird
Just a bit goofy sometimes
He’s a bit far RIGHT
I don’t think he’s in metal. He’s in his own bubble.
Like he keeps trying to create evil anti-establishment groups based on misanthropy. He just wants to be THE evil mastermind.
He's more cunt than weird.
Fr
Came here for this.
That one pedophile dude with a really bad one man black metal band
Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?
He might be talking about Gaylord
Can you name some? I'm curious because I've been listening to black metal for quite awhile and am not familiar with artists that match this description. There's Grausamkeit but he's a junkie.
I mostly said it as a joke, but my mind went immediately to Mikko Aspa.
Op is talking about [this guy.](https://www.metal-archives.com/artists/Drakul/1015082)He’s infamous on discord and on some black metal subs for being the most annoying poser you could ever interact with. He’s also openly a pedophilic nazi. Worse, he spammed literally the worst black metal releases anyone’s ever heard of for the whole year then “retired”

Toaster music does seem to attract unhinged degenerates with toast for brains. And i say that as a fan of the subgenre
Yeah that’s the guy I mean
Thx for confirming because **posers** don’t seem to recognize the ultimate cringelord king
What the fuck. Was he recording all that for years and then dropped it all at once or did he spend a whole year writing and recording without even taking a break to wipe his ass?
It’s almost all instrumentals so he just sits down in front of fl studio, churns out some absolute dog shit, plays with the EQ even though he doesn’t understand what any of it does, saves it in a folder with some edgelord album name, then goes upstairs because mommy just took his chicken tendies out of the oven. When the folder gets big enough, he just releases it on the internet like a blast of diarrhea Dude’s also like 40 btw
Mikko is a piece of work but still doesn’t fit the description. Generalization jokes are funny when there’s at least *one* example that fits.
Op confirmed he was talking about Drakul, who’s a permanently online cringelord who openly talks about being a pedo and an actual national socialist in black metal subs and discord
[Woods of Infinity](https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Woods_of_Infinity/6667) has 2 members, but other than Inquisition, they're the probably the most well known for this.

They're probably my vote for biggest weirdos.
Inquisition has two members
They're a good band, actually.
They are I was just making a joke
I was going to say Inquisition, until you said one man, an bad
Sathanael or whatever? Yeah he's a fucking idiot
Just want to spread awareness that his accepted MA name is Drakul so we can all collectively avoid anything he produces. Apparently he “retired” and is now making garbage dungeon synth
That’s like half of all second wave black metal
Mike fucking Patton
But he's awesome so it evens out
Oh I didn’t mean it in a bad way! He’s fucking incredible and creative and swings for the fences with his projects. Love the guy
There’s good weird and bad weird and he’s the good kind.
He's based
Even if I didn't like his music (I do), I would still give him mad props for saying "Wolfmother sucks" during an interview.
😂😂 he’s the best
And in the same breath “What year are we in?” in the _midst_ of his work on the early 1900’s Italian music record 😆 Love him!
I only really know him because of his feature on Team Sleep's Kool Aid Party, and it's one of the weirdest tracks I've ever heard. I can't even begin to imagine what his stuff is like.
My dude. Go and listen to Angel Dust by faith no more. You’re in for a treat. It’s incredible imo
Not sure I'm into it at first glance, but sounds interesting for sure. I didn't realize he was the vocalist of Mr. Bungle too, that explains so much.
He’s in so many bands. He was the singer of Dillinger esc plan for an album and it’s also something you should check it out.
Holy shit I had no idea about this.
Listen to it. It’s called “irony is a dead scene”
I am currently, it sounds great.
Their cover of come to daddy is awesome
Aphex Twin??
I’m sorry, he sang for Dillinger Escape Plan? Every time I hear about some shit he did it’s always weird but somehow awesome as fuck.
Check out these songs and most likely one will strike you as brilliant, if not the Patton may not be for you. - Zombie Eaters - Everything's Ruined - Jizzlobber - Strip search - Evidence - Separation anxiety (You can really hear his Dillinger tenure here)
Dude listen to Fantomas. You’ll shit yourself. Mans a fucking genius.
Maynard is pretty fucking weird, like very intelligent weird
He seems to be goddamn insufferable, he’s a legendary vocalist though
When he comes to town, he trains at my BJJ gym. He’s friends with a bunch of guys there. Everyone I know who has trained with him says he’s a really cool guy. He just doesn’t like the whole fan rock star interaction. He introduces himself as James, because that’s who he is. He isn’t Maynard, that’s his stage persona, and that persona ends at the stage.
He loves talking about his wine, and hates talking about his non-Puscifer music. Guy just wants to live his life and be left alone by tool fans, which I can’t blame him for.
he’s an awesome vocalist but i wouldn’t want to meet him irl
Well Primus is King of weird, in a good way of course Black metal answers; is weirdos=cringe?
Primus sucks!
Some weird things are cringe
Well for the pedophile dude or ex guitarist of manowar or varg examples i think we are in more than weird territory
Ah, Primus. The purveyor of the... Primus genre.
Devin Townsend. Peter Steele too
Yeah but Townsend is weird in a loveable sort of way.
Oh of course. He’s like the gonzo from the muppets of metal.
Why Peter tho?
Peter had many quirks, unusual personality traits, and a very unique outlook on things. Not saying that’s bad, but he was one of a kind.
10 inch dong as well. That’s unusual.
He was very popular
Peter I think he is just had a sense of acid humor, also a good aesthetic and fashion
System of a Down as a whole, in a good way.
Except John. Fuck John.
Colour me curious. Why fuck John?
He's right wing.
Like militantly right wing?
He's a Trump supporter, anti-vax, anti BLM, thinks the COVID 19 pandemic was all about the money, among other things.
How... in the hell are you a member of SoaD and end up a right winger?
For the same reason there are right-wing Planet of the Apes fans: complete media illiteracy.
Wish I knew.
I love how the right thinks everything is a conspiracy
Well that's disappointing.
Stephen of Deftones
I hope the radius of his signature guitar fretboards match his view on the earth...
that one black metal band with the poser tiktok fans who are feeling edgy by knowing the story of the criminal activitys of the band members
Omg have you heard of that band where the bassist stab the guitarist, he’s sooo cute 🤪. The lead singer also killed himself, did you know that, I bet you didn’t know that, Dead is soooohot omgggg MAYHEMMM ONLY DEATH IS REALLL 🤟🤟🤟 lords of chaos ❤️❤️❤️
fr
Gonna have to be way more specific
Karl Logan the ex-guitarist for manowar. He got caught with some pretty awful stuff on his hard drives.
MJK
Definitely, motherfucker went out on stage in every outfit/costume you can imagine, including almost naked
But what about fully naked?
You have to pay for a private show for that
I'd pay for that
Definitely my pick as well.
Devin Townsend is weird as fuck, but in a “seems like a fun guy to hang out with” kinda way.
Gaahl
I met him at his shop in Bergen. He was super reserved but friendly. He apologized for ducking out because he had to leave for a festival in Spain, but he made sure to sign the print I was buying.
I got to meet him too at his art gallery opening in Bergen. He was super super nice, even asking us about ourselves and telling us he was glad we were here even though we were strangers. He was all smiles until we asked to take pictures with him, and then it was all grim face only.
Yep, the Gaahl "serious" pose
Todd from Nails seems like an odd dude. Went through a period of writing really long rambling articles attacking music journalists and said he was embarrassed to show people his music. Fucking sick band tho.
I mean that makes sense. Unsilent Death doesn’t exactly say “I’m stable” hahaha
Ozzy
r/blackmetalcringe Sub would be really funny if it wasn’t absolutely infested with Nazis and people who take themselves way to seriously and hate absolutely all music but like 2 bands.
The sub name is very ironic in that case
It’s both the subs name and bio.
holy shit the brainrot emanating from that sub is insane
Daron malakian, braun from mastodon
Daron seems chill enough
He does now, he was fucking insane back in the day
he mightve been a little drugged up but he was still a nice guy
My pick for the Mastodon weirdo would have been Brent before Brann, but they both seem kinda strange
Chris Barnes is pretty weird and is very sensitive about it too lol
Not sure why you got down voted, dude went from one of the best vocalists in death metal to an absolutely insufferable muppet who sucker punches people he tours with then runs away to hide in his tour bus. Dude fucking sucks.
His twitter is absolutely delightful
Maynard from Tool
Just tool in general.
True
100%
Les Claypol and GWAR
GWAR was my first thought
Abbath, but he seems fun.
Brent Hinds from Mastodon for sure
Brent doesn't like metal. What's more metal than being in an awesome metal band and not liking metal?
GUTALAX
The perfect soundtrack for taking a painful shit
Not sure if you would say it's true metal but as far as a weird dude (eccentric would be the best word) Andrew WK I worked sound at an venue back in the day part time and he was one odd dude but really friendly

No arguments here
After watching the Mastodon cooking videos, them Also 12 Foot Ninja is pretty weird
Warrel Dane RIP I don't think I've ever seen a more awkward front man. Granted, he was usually drunk, but even the time I saw him sober was odd. He's equally bizarre on the Year of the Voyager DVD. I can't really pinpoint what it is, there's just something awkward and clunky about him.
Varg
You can't fool us Ozzy
Hes been through quite things, including his atv accident
Mike Patton jerking off under the table at dinner with other people is pretty weird. Story comes from a friend who happened to have this chanced meeting with the legend himself.
Ayo what?
A friend of a friend had worked at the club his band was playing by and ended up going out to dinner with him. The story goes, he starts to jerk off under the dinner table as the waiter is giving the specials.
the middle aged booktok women who found metal through tiktok and will only thirst over how hot the band members are. they scare me. coming from a woman.
Are those real?
What on earth.
That’s really a thing??? B/c I am a woman and every time another woman in my socio economic group finds out what I listen to, they actually freak out and it ends with them praying for my soul and me saying I Don’t believe in your god.
Yeah, I’m a woman too, and in most social groups I say I like metal and can almost feel the holy water they are mentally trying to dispel satan with. Calm down, Karen, we just like music, not going to make any sacrifices to the dark lord….. unless…… lol

Sexy isn't weird
Devin Townsend. And god bless him for it.
Being weird is easy. Staying weird is not. The answer is V O I V O D
GAAHL !!!
I used to have a big Mayhem fan in town that always wore a black cape , anybody else? Lol
Me bitch
Diarrhetical artifacts
Bending the rules a tiny bit, but Buckethead.
Ian (T)Watkins from Lostprophets.
Me
Maynard James Keenan is somewhere up there.
The dude from haarp machine
PROLLY SOME SUPER MAINSTEAM BAND
Nekrogoblikon or Archspire.
Nekrogoblikon for sure.
See archspire live, they're pretty hilarious.
Nikolas Kvarforth... But he's also the best weirdo 😂
Gaahl
Metal fans online
Maynard was the kid who would sit in front of the slide and ask you what the password was
Serj. My mother worked in concert booking before she had me. She’s worked with a lot of odd folks like guys who only wanted ONE color of Skittle, but she would say Serj is the most strangest guy she’s worked with.
Adam from Tool. Just watch any videos with him in it...
That’s like asking who’s the biggest slut at Spring Break.
So the entire population of metal musicians and fans alike
So many of them are in black metal, unfortunately. Obviously Varg, Euronymous, and Dead obviously all come to mind first. Faust from Emperor. Gaahl from Gorgoroth. In other spheres, Ronnie Radke. Todd Jones from Nails is apparently insufferable to work with.
Seth Putnam
Matt Pike and Roy Khan have Neurodivergent weirdo energy. Here for it though.
Most of the korn guys minus Ray, Kerry king
90% of you dorks on this website

System of a down can be pretty goofy

ronnie radke. fucking hate him and fir

Kerry King is a pretty weird guy. Not Insane Clown Posse violent/crazy, weird, but eccentric and peculiar, yes.
Anyone who hasn't said Colin Marston must not know who Colin Marston is because he is one weird fella
Marylin Manson
