I've never seen them and wanted to see at least some iteration of them before they call it quits.

They called it quits in 2003.

I did see High on Fire open for Meshuggah a few years back. The people I was with were there to see HoF and weren't thrilled about how they sounded, but Meshuggah's sound was normal, so I had a good time.

With the exception of Monolord, Stoner stuff has never done much for me, and Matt Pike is disturbingly sweaty, which definitely didn't help...

I described Gaerea to a friend as a murloc with bronchitis that occasionally screams "BALTIMORE." They weren't, uh, good, but I enjoyed their show. I have no idea how my opinion would have changed if I'd ever heard of them.

I don't understand why vocalists do this. Do they think we don't know where we are?

it would be fun to just see the band names but not the genre. i read through these posts and see the genre and they somehow always feel like they fit 100% with the band name.

It's hard to beat naming a tech death band "Elitist"

I'm not thrilled about legibility at this size due to video effects. Someone with more skills than me could probably assemble a gif from ~5 frames and timing, or maybe it'd have to be done from scratch, I dunno

Don't spotify, but last.fm so far says Katatonia, Blut Aus Nord, Rosetta, Рожь, and Wolves in the Throne Room.

How do you gently caress up a cover of "Black Metal" this badly?

Oh right, it's Dimmu Borgir in 2023, that's how.

I think this was a bonus track to the Japanese version of In Sorte Diaboli so that'd be 2007-era DB: https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Dimmu_Borgir/In_Sorte_Diaboli/479876

I only really like the Angela era. After her departure, the music has felt flatter - not just vocally, but nothing melodically has grabbed me from the new stuff either. :shrug:

On a scale from 14 to 88, how wary should I be about any black metal I come across on Spotify that's in Russian? The guy from Olhava has a playlist lovingly called "this is woodgaze" and I'm really enjoying it but can't shake that feeling.

If a search finds nothing problematic, it's not worth worrying about. Absolute moral cleanliness is not attainable - objectionable people will make music that you hear sometime, even if it's like Ace of Bass or some pop you got from the radio.

I'm troubled by this attitude of all one country's music being Nazi-adjacent (be it Russia, or earlier someone mentioned this for France, and Poland is another common target). By all means run google translate or whatever over languages you don't speak, but tarring an entire country both misses that fascism can arise anywhere and denies space for its opposition.

Anyway. As far as I know, Olhava, Рожь/Rye, and Trna are reasonable and oppose the invasion of Ukraine and make good tunes.

but these stereotypes about some national scenes have a basis.

I don't think you're going to agree, but: I do not think that whether stereotypes "have a basis" affects whether we ought to act on them, knowing that they are stereotypes and not fact.

Slayer Reunited

Weird considering all of the shade Kerry threw at Tom and stuff when the first song from his Slayer album came out.

so which of Tom or Kerry do we think is out of money?
