2. Hence the authors focus on lyrical content more, which has also by now become repetitive
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
4. Future belongs to those forms which have more sonic possibilities
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
6. More music now, and less words pls
just need a creative guy to make gold out of shit
or those guys with great execution and theatrics
sure they dont say anything new, but how they say it and how they do it is what matters
for the latter you can refer to a film like Citizen Cane
common story
but its the skill, presentation and the use of the best techniques, and etc of the time to make a legend of a film
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
its the storytelling, the clarity and utilization of every line for a specific purpose, etc, and the technical sill you look to
ultimately, the arts is both subjective and objective
objective with its technicalities, and subjective with how you use those technicalities to evoke emotions, reactions and the imagination of the audience
it's why propaganda art is so evocative
it's MADE to be evocative
and with the right application of the arts
it can hypnotize and tell a story
even with just one cursory glance
legends in advertising and illustration talking about their techniques and how to do em right
but when you think about it
these guys found the best techniques to catch the audience's attention, and hold it, and spark something in them
usually the desire to buy the product they were paid to draw
but still
if it can be used there, it can be applied elsewhere
Music is superior to all other arts in it's ability to be detached from any direct linguistic-sensory form
It's rare art where you can actually apply mathematics (though i loath that)
However, nowhere as in music is content so personalized
And explicit
Lacking subtlety
Subjective that is
Depersonalization in arts is always desirable
you can apply math to illustration and painting tho
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
you CAN do without the math tho
but same can be said about music
a guy farting on a snare drum or plucking one string at a time is just like how rob liefeld vomits over some bristol or how a lot of webcomics are shit
oh jeez
