This is worth a try...

I have a new project with some people, it's basically blackmetal with the biggest influence being Immortal (At the heart of winter mostly). So still somewhat melodic and reasonable (music-wise), not all that crappy and simpe like the real 'true' BM.

The only problem is, I suck at writing lyrics and the other members even more.

Anyone of you can write lyrics like Immortal, Hecate Enthroned, Covenant? And willing to let us use them, ofcourse.

I would have to look over some of their lyrics to see how and what they write. Maybe if you go to one of the many lyric sites and study the way they do it you can perfect your own. I've let people use various ones I've written with permission with the understanding that I get credit for the lyrics. It's not hard to establish rights to a lyric if it's on a forum since all are done then. I always date my pieces now anyways.
If you'd like us to comment on what you write and maybe try to give you some pointers on your own pieces that would be an idea. Or if you want me to look at them one on one feel free to pm me.

Alright, thanks for the ideas!

I have no real coherent text at the moment (logically, because I suck in writing them) but I was working on one.

When it's finished, I'll let you know something! Don't expect too much though.

You are in for a real challenge to write like any of them. Especially Covenant. Immortal's were a bit simpler, but still had some good imagery. HE has a lot of color to theirs, but Covenant really tells a good story.
Let's see what you have when you get that done and we'll go from there.

Hehe, right on. Well, the music's pretty ok (ours I mean), so I wouldn't want the lyrics to be utter crap. Anyway, give me some time to finish some lyrics.
