I listened to that Gloryhammer album and my takeaways are a) this band makes Bal-Sagoth seem deadly serious and b) I lost it at the AOL dial-up tone at the end

As a huge Bal-Sagoth fan I had to find out what you meant and this is some good poo poo, though I wish the vocals were harsher. As much as I dig the music of symphonic / power metal, I can't get into the clean vocals.

On the other hand we've had several people gush about the new Gloryhammer over several pages, which is honestly something I wouldn't have ever expected in this thread.

Because it is loving amazing is why. This... is not.

The bullets would just bounce off :colbert:

Discovering that I no longer hate all power metal is a game changer. In Luca Turilla's Rhapsody I've found the perfect pairing for Castlevania games.

Any other stone cold genre classics I should check out? I already love the poo poo out of Blind Guardian and Helloween.

Is this because of Gloryhammer because if not, Gloryhammer.

Only other poo poo I ever really liked was the likes of Luca Turilli's solo stuff (especially King of Northern Twilight) or Stratovarius (Infinite).

I guess you could hit up Kamelot or Sabaton or something if you like, but I never really got into them.

Bal-Sagoth is where I was at, but that's mainly because of the black / death influence over it being power metal, really.

I bothered to put my new release on Bandcamp for pre-order with a couple of tracks up for streaming while I hastily run about like a headless chicken trying to write more lyrics and record more vocals before the deadline I set myself to release it in mid-October.

they are playing with a self-described True Norwegian Black Metal act named Mork, please tell me Mork is a Nazi-free zone

Thomas Eriksen is one of the people who has really inspired me to be making black metal, at least the last couple of albums.

I sure hope Mork isn't nazi. Heard of him through Radio Fenriz ages back, and through the Darkthrone links, and they loving kick rear end. Great second-wave sounding poo poo.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6CDNoV0W-0

Though they did play with Taake and Destroyer 666 recently because there was some black metal festival in Thomas's home town, and that poo poo is suspect as all hell to me all the same.


In similar news, Dawn Ray'd have got some shows coming up (same bill as Mork) where there'll be some "far-right sympathetic" bands on the bill, and they put out this message:

quote:

It feels like every month we are reminded how devastating the fascist propaganda machines can be, how destructive right-wing radicalisation is for ordinary people. This isn’t just a sub-cultural dispute, this isn’t a fight we can run away from. We will be playing some shows in the near future where there will also be a number of far-right sympathetic musicians, and we will be talking plainly and openly about working class self-organisation and anti-fascism from the stage, just like every show we have ever played. For too long the voices of anarchists, marginalised people and anti-fascists within extreme music have been discouraged and silenced. These shows need more voices talking about self defence, inclusion, and anti racism, not less of them, something we have been clear on from the start of this band (interview with The Final Straw, May 2017 - https://bit.ly/31CIcPx).

If you have a platform of any kind, now is the time to start speaking out about this everywhere you can.
Anarchist/antifascist/anti-oppressive groups: get in touch if we are playing in your city and you want to table at our show.
There is a cultural war happening that we cannot afford to lose.
Do not concede any cultural ground, smash fascism wherever it appears!

Prosthetic Records

Re: Devourment, I’ve never really listened to them but I heard the single for this album and started laughing at how heavy it was in a couple of parts.

Devourment's Molesting the Decapitated is one of my favourite metal albums and is a total classic, I would wholeheartedly recommend checking it out.

The most recent shirt shenanigans I've had was coming out of a movie theater wearing my NSV shirt. Walking past a froyo place a couple dudes stopped me and said "woah man, I like your shirt," and I thought they knew Cryptopsy or at least something similar so I stopped to strike up a conversation. "God loves you anyways, man." Ya turns out he was a youth pastor hitting the streets camping a spot outside of the latest Marvel movie at the time. I'd like to think he didn't know the painting and thought John the Baptist was Jesus.

I was gonna say, the cover of NSV is biblical in origin and didn’t he know his poo poo?

Yeah but if they're just some dweeb trying to be as eeeeeeevil as possible, you need to question how genuine they are being when they're talking dumbass nazi poo poo.

Taking any ideology seriously in metal is like taking Cannibal Corpse lyrics seriously. Enjoy the riffs, laugh at the lyrics and bang yer fuckin' head. Unless it's convering YOU to Nazism or to cum blood, ignore the dumb poo poo and laugh at it.

If you're trying to be edgy by saying dumb poo poo, then getting called out for saying said dumb nazi poo poo is completely valid and cool. A person making racist jokes ironically is indistinguishable from a racist making racist jokes. If people are spreading - even if it's to be ironic or edgy - an ideology that intends to cause violence against folks like me, I'm gonna take it seriously. Saying "hahaha man how is nazism real just ignore it and laugh at it" is dumb and unproductive. The metal scene should be accessible for all, not just edgy white guys.

And I 100% would not be surprised if the guys from Infant Annihilation were paedophiles.
