Don't know how you do it, Pokey. The video got me in the mood to stand in front of my cranked AC10 in my room and play 2 or 3 songs and even with plugs in I felt a little nauseous. How you managed to put together actual good riffs in front of that wall and not just pass out is superhuman.

ironically i'm pretty sure party cannon sound like every other toiletcore slam project. you can say what you like about the logos of the headliners but the fact that they've carved out their own unique sounds is the reason they're top-billed

My friend was in vaguely popular Black Metal band (didn't do a great amount of shows but their albums were always well reviewed), he was a pretty chill guy so seeing him interact with Black Metal-flavoured assholes was hilarious, especially as the bass-player was mixed race.

That's not what gaslighting means you hyperbolic dipshit.
Can you imagine playing shows day in and day out that are inherently supposed to sound like poo poo, like where sousing like poo poo is in the mission statement of the band? Most black metal guys very intentionally make their entire albums sound like a wall of white noise with no dynamics whatsoever, recorded by a single RadioShack mic that’s 30 feet deep in an air conditioning duct somewhere.

I guess it’s not totally white noise and fizzy guitars though. There are usually keyboards that play a note, then the next note to the left, then the next note to the left again, going a single note lower with every measure or something.

I don’t mean to be rude but do you listen to much black metal? That’s honestly not most of genre. It’s a common false assumption based on internet jokes and whatnot. I know what you’re getting at but that sounds more like the world of harsh noise. The majority of black metal you find without digging for the super lofi stuff is at “worst” raw sounding.

I mean there are standout bands who sound good like Watain and (gasp) Dimmu Borgir, who I'm sure mentioning would make true black metal fans want to fight me for mentioning. But your average Emperor, Burzum, Immortal or whatever else is honestly unlistenable fizz to me.

I like what Alcest is doing where they kinda mix it up with Post-Rock-ish aspects and still keep the production "raw". Kodama was one of the best records period in 2016 and I loved that it required you to use your volume control at points.

Ok, I'm done.

I’ll give you the Burzum one, even though plenty of Burzum has space and distinction with in the production. But those? They’re on the more traditional (not extremely lofi) raw spectrum but still totally listenable. You can hear the individual instruments. Not trying to argue over subjectivity though, haha.

I'm mixed but look very dark if I've caught some sun.Years ago I played a show of Melvins covers with a band, and we were sharing the venue with some other bands who were playing thrash and other poo poo. there were some (possibly) black metal guys that were throwing me looks the whole time we played... I thought they were trying to figure out my Buzz tone (solid state amps, boss obd3, big speakers) but noticed some pretty dank looking iron crosses n poo poo on some shirts of those guys...

Noticed how white the crowd was at that moment lol.

As someone who's in not one, nor two, but three (technically four; long story) bands, with two of those being "niche" genres (Melodic Death Metal and Instrumental Post-Rock), I 100% understand what you mean, but I'm also insanely lucky to have fairly solid band-mates. And while the MeloDeath band does have a guy who tends to sometimes delve into humorless assholery, he at least upsets it with also being both a snarky git and self-aware enough to know not to do that all the time.

I have an early-60s Harmony 303a, which is basically an AM radio with a growth spurt, and that loving thing is so loud I've literally never turned it up past 4, especially with an EMG-81 feeding it. My wife's AC30 has never seen higher on the master than a 3. Dude in a thrash band I knew would run his Marshal EL34 100/100 power amp at about 6 (for some unknown reason.)

I just don't get the need for super ungodly loud amp settings in tyool 2019. If you're in danger of drowning out the snare at a bar gig, you're playing to loving loud.

That said, just one time having an actual massive wall of Oranges and cabs and playing some stoner-rear end stoner riffs DOES seem fun. Just once.

i once saw this bassist that ran a small combo and a few pedals through the bar pa and got such a huge gently caress off loud sound out of it that i felt like a complete moron for bringing my my bulky rear end amp and 2 "15 cabs with me that night. it completely changed my whole outlook on the whole gear arms race. especially where there are more cabs onstage than people watching you lmao.

I used to mix at a bar for awhile and sometimes bands would show up with big stacks. You either convinced them to turn the gently caress down or it would sound like poo poo. Especially too loud bass in small space fighting with the pa.
