As he made metal music also after he has made that statement

those statements*

i think what he means

metal does derive from rock music, it's just a simple matter of history and evolution

it doesn't have rock's spirit or lack thereof

is that his style and taste has changed

"<The_Enlightened_Shepherd> His only metal song that i genuinelly like and listen to is BTDOTF"

Really?

yes

What about the rest of that album?

one of my fav metal song in general

the rest of album is kind of lame

Can't see a reason for you to dislike the rest if you like this one.

uh oh

Yeah, that's strange.

For you to like Beholding but think the rest is lame.

the rest of album is , like the name suggests, one in your face argument after another in your face agument, which is something I'm intolerrant about in arts

subtlety is key precondition for me

That's incomprehensible to me.

He's not making argument

Yes he is

He makes statements.

Even worse

The song i said i like is the only one that's subtle, inspiring and non-sermonial

Though indirectly. The worlds he's created, the visions he's showing, are supposed to justify his statements.

His statements remaining unstated,

And as many good form of arts, it was inspired by another great piece of art, that is, Tolkien's poem

But derived.

@fallot I was a know nothing default prog liberal growing up, but i had the powers of autism and trollishness to keep my head on straight. i just wanted solutions to problems and didn't care about people's sentimental hangups. i came across A.N.U.S. by chance soon after graduating high school and became an overnight fascist. my mind was always open to ideas that made sense and it was just a matter of finding the good information.

thanks, when did you encounter ANUS?

roughly 10 years ago

Metal acts seem to have these moments when they are just metalling along, and just stumble into one great block of inspiration and write something worth listening

Consider Bathory

He made some really epic songs, but always in time spans of 5-6 forgettable songs

What metal do you like?

@The Enlightened Shepherd

No particular act

Do you like Morbid Angel?

Only certain songs

What songs?

I didn't listen hours and hours of metal so I'm not versed
