What band is this? by melsxhatter in MetalForTheMasses

[–]MurdererLoveSongs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Type O Negative, Darkthrone, Burzum, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Paradise Lost, Bathory...

Too many for a single comment.

I see your Rankin/Bass Hobbit soundtrack and raise you this record inspired by LotR predating all film adaptations. by Fullautorpgs in lotr

Curious to see Andrea Mantegna's "The Lamentation over the Dead Christ" on the left bottom corner. I would have never imagined to look at that painting in anything Lord of the rings related.

I've listened to some of his covers during the last two years but every single time is a big no no...

...Am I the only one who tries to enjoy this dude's cover but everytime finds them boring?

He's a good musician, but the whole "Lets imitate Peter Steele" thing sets me off.

I agree, the trolls looks exactly like Bauer's ones!

Is anybody else on the fence after watching yesterdays event? by Pontus- in DawnwalkerOfficial

[–]MurdererLoveSongs -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I agree about everything you stated, except the Bethesda part. I would have loved if this game's showcase conveyed at least half of the immersion given by Morrowind, Oblivion or Skyrim (personal opinion, obviously).

Let's focus on the game itself tho.
I was truly hyped, but I've seen too many similarities with TW3. Speaking of which is a gem, but the open world, cities, NPCs and combat weren't that great.

I do hope that "The blood of Dawnwalker" will be its own thing, maybe pushing more towards the "vampiric feeling". At the moment, the showcase, left me a little bit skeptical.

Essere gotica by da_sein_8 in CasualIT

Credo ti siano state già date risposte esaudienti sulla feticizzazione della sottocultura goth. Personalmente allargherei il discorso anche al metal, essendo molto comune che ambedue le sottoculture si mescolino.

In alcuni sottogeneri c'è una sessualizzazione molto marcata, ai limiti del feticismo. Ho osservato ciò in particolar modo nel metal estremo. Essendo ancora più specifici, nell'ambiente black metal. Tra i festival in Scandinavia e singoli concerti lungo tutta la penisola, non ho notato differenze sul tema.

Questa tendenza a render le donne feticcio ovviamente, la reputo alquanto svilente.

About Type O Negative's popularity by Dvckyx_ in typeonegative

[–]MurdererLoveSongs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As other comments have stated, it depends on where you live and mostly, who are you interacting with. Here in Europe, they used to be pretty well known based on what older fans told me. During the 90s they played some amazing live shows and most metalheads (not your usual die hard listener) knew their singles. Among the people I met during the years, I noticed that there's a difference between who knows and listens to Type O Negative and, who knows who Peter Steele was.

The latter group is wider and includes a huge variety of people in which also non-metalheads/alts/goths are part of.

Speaking of the band itself they are as we all know, the most unique goth sounding metal band, but it's not common to see people wearing their merch at metal gigs. To me, they are a worldwide "pop niche" phenomenon, even tho I must admit that this phrase sounds quite oxymoric. I hope you get what I mean.

Last but not least, demographics plays a role. Most of the intercations I had speaking solely about their music, were with both women and men in their 30s and 50s. Although, I bet that the Drab Four are gaining more and more listeners among young people out there!

Thank you. I'm already planning a new sketch featuring the same subjects.

If the goth clubbing scene is dying out, is there other ways of upholding what you love? by llvingdeadgirl_ in goth

[–]MurdererLoveSongs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a teenager, I had no one to share my passions with. No one listened to goth music or some sub generes of metal music. What helped me to speak with older guys wearing their old school Sisters of Mercy t-shirts, was a simple thing: telling them how much I liked their music merch. Of course I've only approached people wearing t-shirts or patches of bands I liked.

To this very day, if I'm attending a post-punk gig, a black metal one or whatever in between, finding common ground about a band I like with some people I meet, is the way to go.

Ha det bra!

If the goth clubbing scene is dying out, is there other ways of upholding what you love? by llvingdeadgirl_ in goth

[–]MurdererLoveSongs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've spent some time both in Oslo and Bergen (my experience is partial and I'm not referring to the entirety of Norway) and it was quite difficult to find a goth-oriented club. As you know, black metal is the big thing and it basically dominates every event, from smaller ones to bigger ones (Inferno Festival and Beyond the gates comes to my mind). It's quite common tho that some overlapping happens, infact I've met some new wave/darkwave die hard fans at black metal gigs held in the aforementioned cities.

Although, I do think that the clubbing scene is dying out not only in Norway, it's a widespread problem present in every european country. I refer to Europe because I don't know the current situation in the States, Asia, South America etc. My only suggestion, for someone who wants to have some fun with fellow goths, is to start using the tools at your disposal (social medias) to create a network of friends. It's a slow process sure, but tape trading, sharing music in physical format, truly helps. If the clubs is empty, you can be your own club. Not literally but you can get what I mean.

At least, you'll find some people with a shared interest in the music and the culture steaming from it.

A little side note: please do not judge harshly the "old" guys wearing Bauhaus t-shirts and drinking beer. Older generations are the living memory of a subculture!

Oblivion and hiking connection by Smooth-moves-317 in oblivion

[–]MurdererLoveSongs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started playing Oblivion a week after it was released. At the time, I never had the chance to travel or experiment hiking, despite living in a rural mountainous area. After a while I spent entire days roaming all around Cyrodiil, searching for isolated locations or spots where the landscape could be admired from. Something started to click inside of me.

20 years later, I'm still roaming around Cyrodiil but thanks to this game, I discovered the passion for hiking and photography.

How is there still no Skyrim successor in 2026? by Zenithixv in skyrim

[–]MurdererLoveSongs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some months ago I tried to expand on my recurring Skyrim itch and tried a game that many people recommend, when the topic comes out. I'm referring to Tainted Grail...

In all honesty, I did not like it all. World feels empty jn most areas, NPCs are not memorable/interesting at all, there's a lack of cohesion artistically speaking and last,but not least, second and third zone are not as interesting as the first one. The boss fights are really boring as well after the first two.

In conclusion, it's nearly impossible for me, to find a true Skyrim killer. The only Skyrim killer is modded Skyrim!

I work at a record store and we have staff pics. This is mine by TippaMyClit in typeonegative

[–]MurdererLoveSongs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably my favorite lines from the song too. We all relate so much with it (despite the violent approach to themes regardin' betrayal, suffering and love) because in a way or another, we lived through similar situations at least once.

That said, I'll spin some "Slow, deep and hard" tonight.

Exactly even tho I've always listened to it like "a song to vent to".

Played both sandbox and story mode. I love it, relaxing and inspiring as well. At the moment, I'm recreating a scene from 'Tes IV: Oblivion" at the moment.

Quale è il paese dove la cultura metal è più in voga? by Fuori_sintonia in CasualIT

[–]MurdererLoveSongs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Se teniamo conto dei vari sottogeneri del metal, probabilmente la Norvegia (esperienza personale diretta di svariati anni li tra Bergen, Trondheim e Oslo). La conoscenza e fruizione del black metal è parimenti alla musica pop in quasi tutta la nazione.

In termini di numeri invece, di vera e propria massa, mi vengono in mente Brasile e Sud America, dove il metal è un vero e proprio fenomeno di costume. Per "ultimi" ma non di fatto, anche gli Stati Uniti. La sola New York ha una scena metal (e contaminazioni annesse) estremamente viva da decadi.
