my ultimate point is that I am enjoying the immolation album because I feel like it is musically interesting enough to not bore me as I listen actively

but I also have a good emotional-musical reaction to the music itself

Most of what calls itself metal is pop or punk or noise in disguise.

Gorguts is great up to Obscura

that doesn't fail

i even like a lot of their later stuff

but like sections of songs or whatever will bore me

like some of the latest single

some of Colored Sands

but remember these goys

once in a while they find an okay riff but mostly just dull

that Dodheimsgard album is horrible, even worse than their industrial stuff @UOC

yeah but it's "avant-garde" or whatever

while The Faceless is your usual mallcore but this time trying too hard to be technical

yeah

they both lack a really compelling artistic statement

unlike Here in After

yes, it's mostly style and barely any substance

what is Tomi's real name

no idea

@Nester what does technical mean?

hard to play or musically advnaced?

emperor is harder to play than most classical music due to the weird rhythms

the actual riffs are easy to paly for anyone

but you'll fuck up immensely

@UOC I think I found her spirit animal

until you memorize al lthe rhythms but muscle memor y and smoothly transition into them

even megadth holy wars nobody got right until dave mustaine told people on twitter what the notes were

same with burzum

varg and dave got disgusted with random covers

Sick

chelsea manning looked like death in the full body shot

that made me uncomfortable

Not the stuff that's apparently simple to play but is in fact not, @Death Strike's Bat , as it's supposed to be a category for the listener not the player/

So, jerky stuff.

my friend killed himself out of existential depression last weekend

not super close friend, but still. bummed me out. cool guy.
