<hella_pitted> It's not even that the audience is not discerning. Everyone I talk to about metal outside this circle KNOWS what is derivative and what not. They just don't care. They genuinely love metal music and seek out the experience of it.

calling him a monster

I know but it's indicative

uh oh

the sleeping beast has been awakened

you thought you had it bad with me

They don't care as it has been reduced to a hobby. No sense in making a big deal out of what's essentially a time waster.

I've moved on

Too bad

Being dragged back will be quite uncomfortable then

I'm going to debate with the only guy in Kuwait who likes metal

I sympathize

No but I mean I've already said all I wanted to say on that subject

I actually tried to understand this issue

what is at the root of "what I see in music/metal"

I've made some hesitant progress

I don't think it's ready to be shared

<fallot> in the last 16 years, Infamous's first album and Sammath - Godless Arrogance is all I can name

You meant to say last 6 years

I've said as much yesterday

"Only good metal albums in the last 7 years are: Divine Eve - Vengful and Obstinate (2010), Infamous - Of Solitude and Silence (2011), Sammath - Godless Arrogance (2014)"

Sucks ^

no

u

it's more enduring than sammath

which was unlistenable after a single pass

they said what was needed to be said

the transaction was complete

i could move on with my life

If the music isn't taken as something that inspires and expands imagination, the important differences separating great bands and mediocre ones are rendered trivial.

Sammath becomes Marduk

Sacramentum becomes Vinterland

Bolt Thrower becomes Benediction

Wasn't directed at you, @vry_o ^

s'okay m8

> benediction

fucking fuck i hope not

sammath is way better than marduk

"christian death metal" should have never been a thing

death metal is already christian enough
