This is an awesome story. Blabbermouth is reporting that IMMORTAL are rejecting their nomination in the metal category of the Spellemann awards, Norway's version of the Grammys. (Sidenote: another band nominated is called THE CUMSHOTS. Nice!). Upon hearing of this announcement, the black metal band immediately released a statement rejecting the nomination:
"IMMORTAL doesn't necessarily want to be the biggest band in the world, they just want to be the rawest band," he said. "And honestly, one has to say that there are few black metal bands who have kept their credibility while still playing for 80,000 fans around Europe."
While the band wouldn't personally comment on the situation, their manager did offer these words of reason:
"IMMORTAL doesn't necessarily want to be the biggest band in the world, they just want to be the rawest band," he said. "And honestly, one has to say that there are few black metal bands who have kept their credibility while still playing for 80,000 fans around Europe."
I mean, come on. How much tr00er and kvlt can you get than this? Long live IMMORTAL!!
