Alrightie, I was at The Black Crusade this Monday. This is not a review, but I will write that some later date!
(moving to my own apartment at the moment, so time for writing long blogs that aren't in public interest is scarce)
It was just a thought that struck me, again, as it has so many times before. On the devilhorns. Those devil-fuckin'-horns.
For those that are unenlightened, the devilhorns, also knows as The Horns, The Metal Sign, The Metalhorns, The Goat or whatever and finally the mano cornuta, the "horned hand".
This was originally a sign intended to ward of evil and Dio is the supposed ancestor of this sign's significance in the metal genre, although it had been used before.
Anyway, the horns are the sign where the little finger and the index finger are pointing, while the two middle fingers are closed, with the thumb locking, as it would a fist.
