I'm pretty sure it was just homophobia that came from ANUS. Might've gotten reignited after Paul Masvidal came out a few years ago and people started examining the lyrics to The Philosopher.

Anus was dumb, p much I saw a super old dude with a ridiculously long white beard at the show last night, just standing right in front of the stage quietly taking it all in like some kind of death metal wizard.

They/he just didn't like Chuck I think. The fact that his death certificate says that he died of pneumonia (which used to be and might still be a coded way of saying AIDS) made it easy for them to propagate this theory. It really was quite insane, like they'd send letters to Chucks sister iirc. Everything metal related seems to have been wiped from the ANUS site but luckily the internet archive exists. I mean, this is the description for Death. quote:One of the first to popularize (but not invent: Possessed, Massacra, Sepultura, Morbid Angel, Deathstrike, Hellhammer and Necrovore predate them) the death metal genre, Death bashed out simple structures from strips of chords and make declarative, intense works of violence. Their first three albums are simple death metal, and with "Human" they went progressive, but reverted to a technical heavy metal style for later works, which are overpraised. Vocalist/guitarist Chuck Schuldiner died of AIDS in 2001. And the only album reviewed is Spiritual Healing. And then of course, there is this. https://web.archive.org/web/20111006023143/http://www.anus.com:80/metal/about/metal/chuck_schuldiner Chuck Schuldiner: Legend or Ideological Disaster? Assimilationists and False Martyrs Delight the Crowd, Kill the Genre Containing such gems as: quote:Chuck Schuldiner was a latecomer to the death metal party but, thanks to superior marketing knowledge, has been given credit for "inventing" the genre. Although this is historically inaccurate, history is written by those with the money. At some point in his later career, he decided to reverse his earlier more metal outlook and support the assimilation of metal by the denial-happy society around it, both through music (reversion to heavy metal/rock) and ideology (secular humanism/Christianity). Capitalizing on his unearned status as a leader, Schuldiner attempted to destroy metal by assimilation. When you remove what makes something unique, it becomes a variation of something else, and soon melds into that larger thing and its independent expression is lost. and quote:After several solid albums, Chuck began to feel envious of the progressive rock-metal and big metal bands he saw, and determined to make his own version of these older styles. Problem: these styles are incompatible with death metal, which is why death metal didn't arise as a variant not alternative to these styles. For Chuck, here was a chance to take a stance for the music he supposedly loved, but instead, starting with Individual Thought Patterns (1993) he began to mix more regular rock music into his death metal. The long, powerful riffs were gone, replaced by rhythm playing in harmonic place; structure simplified, and began to imitate the Judas Priest/Dream Theatre genre. Finally, Chuck left to form Control Denied, a band that was basically old school heavy metal with death metal vocals. It was unclear why he didn't just try to compete toe-to-toe by simply forming a heavy metal band back in 1993 and ditching the death metal associations. But that was bad marketing Basically, Chuck turned Christian and that is a bad thing. Also, that article has the whole AIDS spiel in there.

I will maintain that SR Prozak had really good taste in death metal, and his picks there were always on point. You don't even have to read the reviews, just know that a long review means a good album and a short blurb means a bad album. Other genres were more hit and miss. The rest of the site and the forum and whatever else they had was/is garbage though.

Parachute posted:it would be cool if my son could get in to metal one day but im not gonna hold my breath because if my own adolescence is any indication, he will fight anything i try to push on him tooth and nail Just play music regularly, everything you like. Don't try to push anything on him. Some people get into metal/punk as a rebellion against their parents, but it doesn't have to be like that. I grew up listening to my parents' music, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Toto, Jethro Tull, those sort of bands got me into rock and then into metal. He'll end up liking whatever appeals to him most, and that's fine

Yea same. My dad listened to stuff like Black Sabbath, Led Zep, Zappa, Pink Floyd and Hendrix a lot. I Fondly remember him having a low opininion on Metallica and Nirvana when I was a teenager. He was like "yeah well I don't hear anything Black Sabbath already did, I don't get what's so exciting about this crap".

xzzy posted:Dave Grohl owns and I wish he went heavy instead of whatever it is Foo Fighters is. He's like the Bill Murray of metal. He's a cool guy, everyone loves him, but I can't pinpoint anything truly notable about him. Holy hell, he played for Nirvana, I could give two shits about Nirvana, they suck! Like, Probot are the Ghostbusters of metal. e: Bill Murray did the Life Aquatic though, one of the best movies out there. All Grohl did was a cameo for Tenacious D Mr. Pickles fucked around with this message at 09:41 on Oct 24, 2018 |

I've recently discovered Revocation and can't believe I haven't heard of them before. They aren't exactly groundbreaking in any way but they combine elements from all genres of metal in such a great way and have really nice, lively solos. Chaos of Forms and Deathless are fantastic, and The Outer Ones seems to delve heavier into death metal than their other more thrash focused albums. Other recently discovered bands: Vektor is a pretty rad band though most of the band recently left. Black Fast has been pretty enjoyable - Terms of Surrender basically never lets up for the entire album pacerhimself fucked around with this message at 13:22 on Oct 24, 2018 |

Sometimes you don't need to be groundbreaking, you just have to play good metal. Revocation are awesome live and if you get the chance you should go. E: speaking of amazing live acts, I strongly encourage anyone who can make it to the Suffocation show in their area to go. Everyone on the bill is great. Krisiun have unbelievable stage presence and put out an impressively brutal and dense sound for being just three dudes, and the love and appreciation they show for their fans is genuinely moving. Frank was the same way, just talking between songs about how honored he feels to be able to play for us, how amazing it's been to do this for 30 years. Artists talk about how much the fan support means to them, but as a music fan it is humbling to feel like your support really means something to your favorite artists. Alex telling the crowd that "we're nothing without you guys, thank you so loving much" or Karl Sanders quietly saying "wow..." when I told him Nile was one of my favorite bands ... it's a good feeling. It's one of the things I love about extreme metal. The artists really seem to genuinely appreciate their fans. venus de lmao fucked around with this message at 15:25 on Oct 24, 2018 |

The day before Arsis started their tour with Decrepit Birth they played a show here in my town thrown together at the last minute. They headlined above 2 touring sludge bands and like 4 local bands opened for them, there was probably 15 people in attendance max. James was super thankful to everyone there and the whole band just stuck around meeting everyone after. The vocalist of one of the openers and I just kicked it and talked to James for like 15 minutes after and he was so nice and appreciative that I've been listening to them since I pirated A Celebration of Guilt like 12 years ago. Arsis are a pretty huge band and here I am a 26 year old black metal dweeb kicking it with the vocalist of one of my favorite bands in my formative music years talking about bands we like, I'll always remember it.
