If anything there should be a Death/Black Metal thread. I can relate to Airbourne, AC/DC and Deep Purple much more than to Craddle of Filth or Cannibal Corpse.

That thread would consist almost entirely of people arguing whether band X is "really" death/black metal.

How about from now on all threads will be about Ghost, a pretty good band making fun music.

That said, I enjoy Strapping Young Lad and think Addicted is a fun album.

Devin isn't a "genius" but he's a master of simplicity in a world of overthinking and overplaying. It's fascinating to hear him talk about guitar playing and songwriting and he seems like the goofiest nicest dude. I've never been into most of his discography but hating him is silly.

Except for Rush, 3 Inches of Blood, Anvil, Blackguard, and a bunch of other bands from the great white north.

I quite liked that one live video of his where he had the moshpit do a huge group hug. Also SYL's Oh My loving God is a fun song.

New Ghost song has leaked, it sounds totally different to their usual sound. No scooby doo in this song, just heavy riffs and softer piano parts. TheSteelCurtain fucked around with this message at 22:00 on May 30, 2015 |

You only need two metal threads, one for songs where you need a text file to figure out the lyrics, and the other for songs that you don't. Everything else is just nitpicking.

Devin is God. There is nobody else that sounds like Devy. I love it that even though he'll do super serious, complicated metal, a lot of the time he'll be singing about absolute nonsense things and loving around. It's great to hear metal that isn't 100% dead loving serious.

There's a pretty good amount of metal that has some level of humor, and doesn't need to lean on it to the point of gimmickry. I have respect for Devin even though I find his music pretty unmemorable and not what I want from prog metal at all. I mean, he's way less odious than Dream Theater or Haken. But goddamn I feel like most Devin fans' hyperbole just shows a lack of exposure to good prog metal.

But goddamn I feel like most Devin fans' hyperbole just shows a lack of exposure to good prog metal. I used to be a gigantic prog nerd and that's why I love Devy. I started to hate prog for wanting to wave how "clever" it is in front of you the whole time. I also hated how seriously it took itself. Then Devin comes along with fart noises and screaming that music is just entertainment and it was perfect.

Voivod and Spastic Ink also don't take themselves seriously, but they don't need fart noises to show how wacky they are. I guess we have different goals though. I'd rather have the music I listen to try to be profound in some way, rather than have it just be pure entertainment. Most of the time, at least.

First Ghost album is good and I have the finest taste in metal. If there is no more circus stuff I'm looking forward to this new album. I'm in Greece now and my brothers new wife's cousin was talking about cool bands. He's mostly into regular rock but we got to talking about a festival that was on this weekend and he right away knew and loved Rotting Christ just because they were Greek. I wonder if other bands get that kind of fan base despite their musical style.

Speaking of metal that doesn't take things too seriously: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOvZKJlrtk8 That song shouldn't be anything special, but it just somehow has this infectious quality to it and I've been listening to it several times the last couple days. The video is goofy as well and it's just so clear those people are having a loving blast doing their thing. It's all just so sincere in its youthful exuberance.
