AGREED
DEATH METAL IS THE GATEWAY
TO ANNIHILATION
Angry Italians in the comments should be a marker one way or the other.
looks like it uses garlic, dalit
Garlic is aristocratic af
If it tastes good or is pleasurable it is dalit
Which is why CLIF bars are so popular with aristocrats.
They taste like topsoil.
I wonder what the causes of enjoying dull things are.
Keeping up with appearances
The need to stand out among others
LOOK AT ME I RENOUNCE PLEASURE.
I am better than you nenernerner
Hm. In private that means vulnerability to slide into hedonism.
To balance things.
I'd expect that honestly
On the other hand
it could be a genuine position taken out of a reaction to a bad thing: hedonistic consumerism. The thing is, ascetic renunciation is also a bad thing.
A reason why metal sucks now is that artists step into the studio to "make metal" . More specifically, a type of metal. It's about the concept now rather than the sensation. Every new development prior was precipitated by the rejection of some earlier concept in favor of concrete sensations with little mind of what exactly to call it. The press and labels just sell the concept to people, it's almost always been this way. There are few if any musicians in metal interested purely in musical sensation, it's always a goal to work within some concept that already exists.
the surface took over from the substance
and it's imitative instead of pioneering
That's because there is little substance left to be mined out of the ground that hasn't already been covered. At least in an economical sense.
maybe
i think there's plenty of ground left
but it would require going into new topics
keeping the metal outlook
you're talking lyrics and themes right
I mean are there really any other "metal" sensations left that relate to the metal Outlook that haven't been covered
No I mean strictly musical
That ineffable feeling
That evades description
New topics won't help because those topics would be presented in a way that's already rounded out. So you'd just be shoving more instances into an essence that's tapped out
i think so but i have no evidence either way
