Lmao @ the metal goggles bit

Well then, you better get it in your head that good music is not dictated by any country's politics. Often the opposite, in fact.

You're damn right I'm doing my best to avoid anything from the USA currently. And Israel. But living where I am, this is quite hard.

But you're damned wrong if I advocate that whole nations are better or worse than others

Thantifaxath is underrated.

Let me get it straight. You advocate for the notion that whole nations are inherently worse than others?

Also, I sure hope you boycott the US too, if I guess your preconditions right. You wouldn't want to seem hypocritical, after all.

other Georgian or Caucasus metal

Boney Nem, of course. Though they aren't Georgian and the tune isn't actually traditional.

Csejthe by Mordor is atmospheric, slow doom album to listen alone at night.

Murder by Gehenna.

I wouldn't call it scary but Embrace of Thorns - Praying for Absolution has a strange atmosphere and vocals to me.

How is sunn o))) not mentioned? Is that not considered metal? Because I refuse to believe that black one isn't one of the scariest albums ever made.

Qrixkuor is pretty scary, but doesn’t really compare to Portal like mentioned above. I really like that Veilburner’s albums all sound like performing a ritual to see through the veil and then losing your mind.

Bell Witch's album Mirror Reaper has a very spooky sound

Any Portal, but I always go back to Vexovoid. It’s death metal.

Also Thantifaxath - Sacred White Noise is probably ‘scarier’ but Hive Mind Narcosis is really good too. ‘Avant-garde’ black metal.

All the Vermin Womb for some grind-based ‘scary music’.

Saving for later :D

I nominate Macabre's Sinister Slaughter.

Wow I totally misread that thumbnail

Stormwatcher is a perfect piece of Doom Metal forged by masters.

Based. I saw them two years ago at a festival, it was a hell of a set

I don't expect anything good from mrs Osbourne. But what really irks me about Hetfield's bs is his "holier than thou" attitude with his recent comments.

If he really wanted to not make any political statements he'd just shut the fuck up and play. And not go like "we are better than other acts because we don't make political statements". What a load of bs.

And the funny thing is that now even without "siding" with any political group (according to him) the rightards are absolutely sure he's on their side and he's "antiwoke" and "owning the libs" and whatnot.

He has seemed to me like a top tier hypocrite in the music world from the day he was dissing on AiC because Layne Staley's addiction back in the mid 90s.

Eww why would I do that to myself

Oof, didn't know about Nightwish. At least Alissa's been doing some cool stuff with the new band.

Just not been a good year for female fronted metal bands huh. Arch Enemy, Battle Beast, Nightwish, I think I’ve missed a few? Either way lots of heavy hitters.

I absolutely love metal where the vocalist sounds riiiight in the edge of losing their fucking mind. Good shit

huh, didn’t know that. so the riffs had a real band behind them all along
