Gotta say, IMO this has nothing to do with being a [insert genre] fan at all. It's just about not being a pompous, pretentious asshole. 😄 Let people like what they like! But I still have my opinions about what level of musicality and interesting aspects there need to be in the music I listen too. Again, the music ->I<- listen to. Other people can definitely listen to bland mainstream garbage if they want to. 😅 Not all mainstream music is garbage of course, some of it is popular because it's actually good, so not all awesome music is obscure/indie/whatever. 👍

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 child)

FÄTHØM, the German Satanic Black Metal band, that had members all over the political spectrum, released 4 demos and 1 full album. They all killed each other once they all got too drunk and started to talk about politics instead of satanism, though police reports point to that Holocaust-denying Neonazi bassist, Hans Mann started the first blow, but last-man standing ancap guitarist Kristoffer Johannson also got fatally wounded by the end, and spent more time trying to write "fucking communist scum" with his own blood rather than to get medical attention.

Too bad that the now christian tradwife ex-wife of Mann tries everything in her power to stop these albums from further circulation, because "metal bad".

parent

[–] crashex@crazypeople.online 3 points 2 months ago

Interesting to mention also that their triangle player Egon Wurst was decapitated by a halberd during this fight while stabbing Mann with his triangle. They are so controversial that a German court ruled that their merch may not be worn in pre-schools and nursing homes!

90s demo tapes hit different though. The crustiness really enhances the overall atmosphere of certain genres.

Ysigim - Ain Soph Or (1994) is a personal favorite. They did a digital rerelease recently and it's too clean, I don't like it.

If someone tried to call a jazz band classical, I'd be similarly annoyed with them. It's not metal because it doesn't have any of the hallmarks of the genre and doesn't sound like metal. And no, that doesn't mean they're doing something new and groundbreaking. It means they're calling themselves the wrong thing.

parent

[–] MBech@feddit.dk 1 point 2 months ago

Now hold up. I like Ghost a lot, and play it regularly, but it's just not metal. It's great music, but not all great music is metal, just like nok all metal is great. It's rock. There's nothing wrong with it being rock. It doesn't make you less of a man, or less hardcore to like rock.

[–] derfunkatron@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

There’s a movement within black metal that calls itself “National Socialist Black Metal” (NSBM). It’s what happens when any group of dickheads insert themselves into an existing scene or genre. Similar thing happened to skinhead punks in England in the 80s.

Some times it boils down to here’s a black metal band comprised solely of neo-Nazis and while they sing songs about trolls and despair they also do Nazi shit in their spare time. This only fuels the assertion you made earlier because a lot of times you can’t even tell they are NSBM from the music, you have to have read an interview, listened to their stage banter, or looked up a list of known NSBM-adjacent bands.

[–] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

It's really unfortunate because Black Metal is one of the most expressive and expansive subgenres of metal, with a plethora of sub-sub-genres of its own and it's been co-opted by Nazis and various other racists as a platform for their hate.

They just openly ignore the fact that metal's foundational ideals are that of rebellion and speaking truth to power which makes it super fucking awkward when they then proceed to insert bootlicker politics like Nazism into their lyrics and imagery.

Like, guys... You're missing the whole fucking point. You're not welcome here.

who the hell decided what is metal and what isn't?

I recommend freeing oneself from the chains of genre altogether.

Humans have a tendency to turn descriptive language into prescriptive language. So what started as artists experimenting ends up getting categorized into market demographics that are easier to sell to. Separate communities who, in order to exist at all, need to create rules about who does, and thus who does not, belong. And so what starts as free artistic expression reflects off of the audience and becomes economic and social pressure to conform to these rules. We end up with bands making "metal" music for the sake of being metal, at the cost of true artistic expression.

Is an artist metal? Is an album metal? Is a song metal? Is a particular instrument in a song metal? Is a particular bar played by a particular instrument metal? Is it even about the music, or is it about other things? The clothes, the color schemes, the fonts, the lyrical subject matter, the community? Does any of it actually matter?

Foe me it's the opposite. I absolutely love cannibal corps. I love cannabis corpse even more. I always feel like these bands make tge music tgey really want and not what people want to hear. There is something honest about the music. If you don't like it you fon't like it, obviously. Maiden acdc and megadeth is really boring to me. It's not that it's bad or i don't like it, it's more that i think: i could listen to worm sheppard or job for a cowboy instead. One of my favourite bands is all shall perish, i liked them before ever seeing them live, but when i saw them i truly realised that these are massive music nerds. His vocal range is crazy, because i assumed they had two singers, the bassist and guitarist seem incredibly talented, and i think they could be really successful doing "good music" but that's what they do and enjoy and i appreciate that a lot.
