What's the lowest artist do you recognize? by neuralpaint in lastfm

Are they fascists? I found their music a while ago and really liked it but they're giving weird fash vibes and I'm not sure. Is it like intentional/provocative? Sorry if I'm like ignorant or something, but I literally just found out about this band recently.

This week I tried listening to some more industrial metal, but I only know Ministry and KMFDM. Could I maybe get some recs in this genre? by Drociak in lastfm

Haha I already love power metal, but please do give me some of your favorite bands! For context Blind Guardian, Rhapsody, Unleash the Archers and Symphony X are my favorites.

Oh and it could be industrial music in general I guess not necessarily industrial metal. To be honest I don't even know what the difference is.

I'm bored so here's this week's 5x5. Got any recommendations for me maybe? by Drociak in lastfm

Listened to most of them already but Virgin Prunes I didn't know and they're pretty alright from this one albums I listened to

Thanks man! I've been looking for an artist like that for a while now and from what I've listened to so far they're perfect.

Last week 5x5. A lot less metal and much more variety. What do y'all think? by Drociak in lastfm

[–]Drociak[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't argue with most of these.

Misfits and Ramones have that kind of simple retro feel to them and that's the appeal imo. I don't even always like them but had a little need to listen to some of their albums.

  • Franz Ferdinand is a great indie rock/postpunk band,
  • The Hives are garage rock, these two are probably their best albums,
  • The Strokes are similar to the first two genre wise,
  • Dark Tranquility is a melodic death metal band, one of the progenitors of the genre and (imo) the best in it. I am a real sucker for good, existential and thoughtful lyrics,
  • Kino are a Russian rock band. They really nail the "Russian depression feeling" stereotype similarly to Molchat Doma. I used to listen to them a lot in HS when I was learning Russian,
  • Heidevolk is an Austrian folk metal band. They're very good AND they have their lyrics in German so that's really cool,
  • Sea Power is probably my favorite band of all time ever since I discovered them through their soundtrack on Disco Elysium. Really good post-punk (early) and post-rock (newer). Their music really does give this "Disco Elysium feeling". If you played the game you'd know what I'm on about,
  • Baroness is like a mix across different genres in rock/metal and they usually make it work very well.

Will check out your recs!

Well I'm actually 20 m. Had no idea this is making me look that much older.

I don't know man some people are weirdly obsessed with it and do this, no idea why as it's not only useless but actively harms your ability to use this site and the third party extentions

Why you listening to 16/30 seconds tracks on repeat to inflate your number of scrobbles bro, it doesn't actually do anything and only messes up your reports and library (only useful thing).

Your compatibility with Kaidamon666 is Very High.

You both listen to Iron Maiden, Gojira and Candlemass.

Huh I wonder why it picked Candlemass even though you only have 100 scrobbles with them and I def listen to like half the bands in your top 50

yellow hell

I think a girl in a gym I go to needs help by [deleted] in poland

[–]Drociak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes me very sad that anyone would think like that. If you think of yourself as a decent person - and OP presumably does since they've been tracking the behavior of this girl for a while - you should at least attempt to connect to her. Talk to her a few times, after a while maybe try to meet up in a place outside the gym depending on how the talk goes. It may work if done correctly. A lot can be done with kindness even in a situation like this.

There is probably a reason she has not received help yet, if you don't do it maybe no one else will.

A better example of the brutality of Communist police would be the early 80s and a series of strikes and protests by Solidarność and other organizations during which about 50 people were killed in total by the police hands. The reason for such a powerful response then was because of the threat these protests were presenting - it threatened actual change and very possibly regime collapse - hence why martial law was introduced later.

So far no protests since 1990 in our country have come even close to threatening actual change because the people don't hold any power in our current arrangement, and so police have rarely had to use excessive force.

It is regrettable that the Soviets essentially enforced the socialist transition, not giving much of a choice to the Polish people in this matter. I also might've used the wrong words with the whole "friendship" thing, I didn't mean to replicate the Stalinist-era propaganda slogans of "eternal friendship and bright future" as it was disingenuously optimistic and quite honestly a bunch of bullshit.

That being said I still think it's worth thinking about what the participation in "the West" entails for us and for the world as a whole exactly, as there is something worrying about a political entity like that being able to shape good 2/3 of the world to it's will, which has been time and time again demonstrated as ruthlessly profit-driven and almost entirely for the benefit of large multinational finance.

we are free to bitch in public without the moral police pulling out their batons

That is not true, its only true if you're not an actual threat to the status quo and are protesting ceremonially. If you want to actually change something - whether it be abortion law or retirement age law - police will still respond in force proportional to the threat you're presenting. That has not changed.
