In a genre where a distressing percentage of bands are Literal Actual Nazis, if you find one you like and the worst you have to deal with is "No gently caress YOU Dad" style anarchism you should probably count your blessings.

Can't wait for the vice article about Phil Anselmo's mondo problematic antics, personally

I'm actually pretty okay with people being upset about a prominent metal singer being a white supremacist, but maybe I'm just a ~PC SJW wuss~

What bands did you guys discover based exclusively on the logo/cover art?

For me it was Iron Maiden.

in 2003 I was buying a gift for a friend of mine on Amazon and the "People who bought this also bought" thing popped up the cover to "Power of the Dragonflame". I think I said something along the lines of "hahahahahaha holy poo poo" while hammering the "Add To Cart" button

Metal hasn't even made significant headway on it's problem with loving nazis, so I wouldn't hold my breath about it's problems with sexism going away

Also, lol at people trying to claim that Nazism isn't a problem in a genre where NSBM is common enough to have it's own category.

Mhm, remember when Skrewdriver was as successful as Metallica in the U.S. or Nightwish in Europe?

Phil has a larger audience and is getting rightfully slammed. You can create whatever obscure subgenre you want until there's a law against Nazis picking up guitars altogether.

Oh, yeah, I forgot about how NS hiphop and NS trance and NS dubstep are all accepted categories listed on fan websites for those genres. Yeah, it's only obscure subgenres, metal definitely doesn't have a nazi problem.

Nazi punk doesn't exist and you shouldn't bother asking the industrial thread about neofolk because that doesn't exist either. There's nothing anyone can do (or needs to do) about racists with home studios.

Vulture Culture posted:

Nazi punk is one thing, but martial industrial and neofolk, despite being scenes with relatively large numbers of Nazi activists and sympathizers, aren't literally labeled "NS martial industrial" and "NS neofolk" in album bins the way that we talk about NSBM. It indicates a completely different level of indifference towards the ideology.

An academic investigation of black metal written by Hunter Hearst Helmsley would be better than whatever this is.

It would just be 20 pages on why none of it was as good as Lemmy

So yes, I agree

Something interesting that I've found about metal fans (that I'm guilty of too) is that for some bands, if they don't change things up, they get ridiculed for being the same and doing the same thing over and over again (Slayer, Maiden song-title choruses). But there are other bands where if they changed ANYTHING about what they do, people lose their loving minds (Opeth).

It's almost as though there are different groups of fans that like and care about different things

Unfortunately bands like Gloryhammer are trying to make ironic power metal a thing, demonstrating a massive misunderstanding of the point of power metal

Remember when people thought Andrew WK was being ironic, and then it turned out that, no, he's really like that all the time?

Lars is the only famous drummer that makes drumming look hard. He is really working at it in that video, for very little payoff.

To be fair in half of that video he's making walking and standing upright look hard.

Cliff was the one who was an actual music nerd; I wouldn't have been surprised to see his career look kind of like Marty Friedman's
