but it had something to do with russians calling themselves eurasian

2016-12-28 13:42:44 UTC  

I'm gonna sum up my thought on black metal

2016-12-28 13:43:15 UTC  

1. The musical possibilities have been long ago exhausted, and now we are seeing one and the same repetitive riffs in different tempos

2016-12-28 13:43:31 UTC  

2. Hence the authors focus on lyrical content more, which has also by now become repetitive

2016-12-28 13:44:06 UTC  

3. The above being said, as every other lyrical-rhytmic form, the era of Black Metal has passed, just as with blues and other such forms

2016-12-28 13:44:25 UTC  

4. Future belongs to those forms which have more sonic possibilities

2016-12-28 13:45:23 UTC  

5. We have had every Satanic, Nazi, Philosophical, Pagan or Sentimental topic by now explored within Black Metal genre. There is nothing more to be said

2016-12-28 13:45:36 UTC  

6. More music now, and less words pls

2016-12-28 13:46:39 UTC  

just need a creative guy to make gold out of shit

2016-12-28 13:47:09 UTC  

or those guys with great execution and theatrics

2016-12-28 13:47:26 UTC  

sure they dont say anything new, but how they say it and how they do it is what matters

2016-12-28 13:47:52 UTC  

for the latter you can refer to a film like Citizen Cane

2016-12-28 13:47:56 UTC  

common story

2016-12-28 13:48:20 UTC  

but its the skill, presentation and the use of the best techniques, and etc of the time to make a legend of a film

2016-12-28 13:49:37 UTC  

for the artsy types and comic book nerds, one can look to Alex Toth who did not say anything new, or did any of the story he drew say anything extraordinary

2016-12-28 13:50:13 UTC  

its the storytelling, the clarity and utilization of every line for a specific purpose, etc, and the technical sill you look to

2016-12-28 13:50:28 UTC  

ultimately, the arts is both subjective and objective

2016-12-28 13:51:09 UTC  

objective with its technicalities, and subjective with how you use those technicalities to evoke emotions, reactions and the imagination of the audience

2016-12-28 13:51:36 UTC  

it's why propaganda art is so evocative

2016-12-28 13:51:41 UTC  

it's MADE to be evocative

2016-12-28 13:51:54 UTC  

and with the right application of the arts

2016-12-28 13:52:00 UTC  

it can hypnotize and tell a story

2016-12-28 13:52:09 UTC  

even with just one cursory glance

2016-12-28 13:52:38 UTC  

as one can see from the sum reading fo the Famous Artist Course's 24 binders

2016-12-28 13:53:04 UTC  

legends in advertising and illustration talking about their techniques and how to do em right

2016-12-28 13:53:19 UTC  

but when you think about it

2016-12-28 13:53:59 UTC  

these guys found the best techniques to catch the audience's attention, and hold it, and spark something in them

2016-12-28 13:54:08 UTC  

usually the desire to buy the product they were paid to draw

2016-12-28 13:54:12 UTC  

but still

2016-12-28 13:54:23 UTC  

if it can be used there, it can be applied elsewhere

2016-12-28 13:55:52 UTC  

Music is superior to all other arts in it's ability to be detached from any direct linguistic-sensory form

2016-12-28 13:56:12 UTC  

It's rare art where you can actually apply mathematics (though i loath that)

2016-12-28 13:56:37 UTC  

However, nowhere as in music is content so personalized

2016-12-28 13:56:40 UTC  

And explicit

2016-12-28 13:56:45 UTC  

Lacking subtlety

2016-12-28 13:56:59 UTC  

Subjective that is

2016-12-28 13:57:09 UTC  

Depersonalization in arts is always desirable

2016-12-28 13:57:33 UTC  

you can apply math to illustration and painting tho

2016-12-28 13:58:22 UTC  

measuring the angles, a very specific height, how to get the right shade of this color from these pigments, how to properly make these lines for perspective and shit

2016-12-28 13:59:04 UTC  

you CAN do without the math tho

2016-12-28 13:59:12 UTC  

but same can be said about music
