all music reviews should be written in the manner of metal reviews
You’re about to hear a sonic atrocity, a savage demonic manifestation intent on bring about ruination and degradation. Foul and sulfurous, it’s a “procreation of sounds worthy of a psychiatric center” in the midst of an arson attack, vividly conveying the furious agonies of inmates consumed by flame while hellish entities howl in ecstasy at all the fresh death.
Howdy, Stranger!

i always think i like metal
and when i listen to metal, i usually enjoy it
but, um, i don't get, y'know, this kinda thing
all the 'raarrgh its so evil' kinda stuff
not getting into the spirit of things i guess
but tbh half the time i can't make those out anyway
edit: added a link to the Axis of Justice
That's... inaccurate.
like i am nowhere near the scene, i am totally an outsider, so this will sound super clueless but
it's like, heavy metal, as it originally existed, was a fun genre about, like, spooky ghosts and monsters, plus drugs and sex and so on, with flashy guitar work and leather
and then it was like, some people started taking all the Satan stuff, which was Hallowe'en stuff basically, uber-seriously and doing really weird things
is how it looks to me, as an outsider
Varg went on to renounce metal because rock music is the work of black people and now he makes bad folk music, but while he was in jail he made lo-fi music that proved very influential in terms of production for other black metal people without a lot of budget
Mayhem with a different lineup is still around and makes good mooziks
Please. Don't be a jerk. No-one here wants you to listen to Abzurd to prove you are kvlt enough, or whatever you're driving at.
I doubt that the average black metal fan would be shocked or offended by NWA.
the worst kind of rockist, if they're not outright white supremacists which they can be
i've said this before but i don't actually know music history
you do get bigots wanking over folk for its supposed purity, it would not be ok if it was folk, but it's not even folk
I know as a mod that I should try to end rather than start fights but I am sick of this selective tone-deafness and unrelenting negativity over petty bullshit.
I have never listened to Varg's recent solo work on account of the fact that he is Varg, so I'm just going on secondhand knowledge
perhaps i should have specified?
i am not trying to offend anyone, and certainly not talking about anyone here
i was morbidly curious
and am pedantic about 'folk'
I should probably close this page and come back in a bit myself.
*headbangs furiously*
their latest tweet is "Somehow, When The Accordion Comes In, It's Okay" which is entirely true in any context
the word 'Japanese' superfluously, as even the most well-known American
composers are barely competent at best), one in particular stands out to the
enlightened video game soundtrack consumer. His name: Yasunori Mitsuda. For the
record, this is not to undermine the amazing works of other incredibly talented
video game composers such as Uematsu-san or Sakuraba-san, but to highlight the
unique, almost celto-tropic music (the word music is an understatement) that
Yasunori Mitsuda has been composing for years. It would be sheer ignorance to
deny that the Chrono Cross soundtrack is anything but the magnum opus of video
game music; its lilting and oftentimes hauntingly peaceful guitar melodies
soothe all but the most savage of breasts while its tense battle themes and
mysterious donjon tunes ignite a blazing passion that can be quenched only by
the video game's profound story and gameplay. It is a wonder that anyone can
listen to anything besides video game musical compositions after listening to
Mitsuda-san's immensely powerful soundtrack, but given that the primitive thuds
of hip hop are America's current choice of 'music' (I use the term music
liberally), once can see little hope in the mass appreciation of Mitsuda-san's work.
There is, perhaps, only one medium of art that matches the
excellence of video games and that is (obviously) visual kei. Combining
absolutely exquisite j-rock and j-pop, sprinkled with hints of video game
melodies, with the pyrotechnic visual flare that the Japanese are known for,
visual kei takes its viewers on a rollercoaster ride of lights, fanfare, and
music that even Beethoven could tap his toes to. Would that I were Japanese,
(though under careful scrutiny, it appears my geneology tree does in fact show
signs of a Japanese presence) I too would participate in this art of the 21st
century and even perhaps venture onto the visual kei stage myself. It is no
surprise that the impotent minds of Western society cannot fully grasp the
total splendor of visual kei and instead choose to squandor their time
listening to rap and country "music".
