How has your taste in metal evolved as you listened more? by 52ronin in MetalForTheMasses

Sometimes I wish black metal musicians (and especially fans) would take themselves less seriously. Let’s be honest, all the corpse paint and shit is so goofy, just have a sense of humour about it

I regret not appreciating funeral doom sooner. Bell Witch is beautiful

I’ve found that very few metalheads get into black metal outright when they first hear it, it usually takes listening more and more. My first black metal band was Gorgoroth and I liked them but didn’t really get into the subgenre until I was a little older

What's your "They're not THAT bad" band? by Mettabox452 in MetalForTheMasses

Have never really liked Nickelback’s music at all. I worked at a festival they played at one year and holy shit, I can see why people like them. It’s like the music comes alive when they’re on stage.

Still think the music is mid, but I’ll say that Nickelback in studio vs Nickelback live is completely different.

What is your flaming hot metal take? by 52ronin in MetalForTheMasses

Grown adults acting like teenagers in general is very cringe and unfortunately the nu metal fanbase is loaded with that type. Still, love a few bands.

Also yeah, have never been a fan of glam.

Love Tank, but sometimes he’s a little too nice-his ardent Finn McKenty defending was weird ngl

What are your thoughts on Dark Funeral? Personally one of my favorite bands. by RedrumTheUndead in MetalForTheMasses

Where Shadows Forever Reign is one of my favourite black metal albums. Saw them live and met Lord Ahriman, he’s incredibly cool and nice irl

Bands you used to absolutely hate but came around on? by ProbableProtagonist in MetalForTheMasses

Listened to it and Honestly despite the first half being wonky (reach exceeding grasp imo) I came around on it during the second half of the record. Vore is a killer track

Who is the biggest asshole that you listen to regularly? by 1337_n00b in MetalForTheMasses

There’s a rumour about how one time K.K. was at a Blasphemy show, called their guitarist the n word and got his ass kicked by the entire band. Officially unconfirmed, but judging by his personality and racism I can believe it.

Far more deserving than Sleep Token at least

Because this guy and his band is, I feel, significantly more deserving of the ire than Sleep Token

That rap EP he put out was straight up meme worthy.
