No one said anything about a whole country’s music, just black metal. Poland is a common target because a huge percentage of black metal bands that come from there are at best one degree away from some NS poo poo, including foundational bands of that scene and some of the biggest artists to emerge from it. Ultimately one of course has to do their own research and what they listen to privately is really between them and their conscience, but these stereotypes about some national scenes have a basis.

Every Russian black metal album is like "Sorrows of Autumns Past" by Gloomy Forest Clearing, and then you go on Metal Archives and all 4 members are also in a band called Wehrwülf 88

Acting on one in this case consists of…scrutinizing bands that come from their very historically racist scene slightly more than you would scrutinize bands from places that haven’t pumped out nearly as many Nazi bands. I think you’re extrapolating this to broad ethnic stereotyping or dismissal of entire countries, so once again I am clarifying that we are just talking about black metal here.

As a Polish person I can confirm the BM scene can be racist as gently caress. Same about the DM scene, I remember reading an interview with a member of one of the more prominent DM bands who had moved to London and was exasperated about how many non-white people he saw on the streets.

I think Dehumanizer is the best Dio Sabbath record. The others are good, but Dehumanizer has killer song after killer song. It's perfect.

I've got tickets for Graspop Metal Meeting in Belgium but I sorta regretted it as the line up so far is pretty bad and the festival itself is quite bland. Wish we went for Hellfest but the distance made us decide to go for Graspop because I feel uncomfortable being four days far away from my young children. Also, i am getting too old to 'sleep' four nights in a tent surrounded by drunken teenagers edit: Gonna see Tool though!

Also, i am getting too old to 'sleep' four nights in a tent surrounded by drunken teenagers I'll be at Graspop as well. For me, there's more than enough bands and beer to have a good time. I'm in my forties, but I usually have no trouble getting to sleep. Probably helps that I've been going to festivals for 20+ years (oh god, I'm getting old)

i'm in an online trivia league called learnedleague (it's a paid, by invitation thing but not super exclusive or anything) and there was a mini league on metal that just ended. 11 days of 6 questions per day and then a 12 question championship. i finished seventh overall out of 1212 people and the last question was quote:12. "... what is the primary ideology or primary ideas that fuel Gorgoroth's music?" which i thought was a pretty funny way to end it

Glad you enjoyed it. If there’s another one in a couple of years I’m gonna play instead because my competitive side made it tough to watch from the sidelines, especially on some of those questions that got sub-10% get rates.

Not my strong suit. I was hoping for much better results on my Amorphis question and thought the one about Blackbraid would have a better get rate just because they’re a big band of the moment. I certainly don’t know anything about Sonata Arctica but I thought the Caleb Q would do a little better just because they are big in power metal.
