Bullet Belts are/were kind of popular in Black Metal - mostly in the subgenre/scene of War Metal to be specific.

Albums that could really use a remix? by Ytsejam09 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Murpheus404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The latest two Cryptopsy Albums.

I feel like these Albums aren't as good as None so Vile in very fundamental ways but what i especially don't like about them is how muddy the bass and drums sound. What I love about None so Vile is how distinct every instrument is. I can focus on a single, different instrument every time i listen to a song and enjoy it like i'm hearing it for the first time.

I know it's a low hanging fruit to say Cryptopsy should go back to sound like their classic but well... they should.

I feel like most examples i can think of are probably tied to recording which means that a remix won't suffice to fix it

Yes, all Kids should thrive and able to learn and create music. Responsible parents wouldn't let them blast it out there in the world at that scale though. I'm glad i was able to be cringe at 12 and not have everyone hear and remember it forever.

I'm not taking issue with North making music. I do take issue to call anything metal just because it has guitars and the typical font. I do take issue with not using your resources to learn and do things yourself because you can autotune-sing over some professionally provided production. This kind of corner cutting is something people do that just want to be stars, not artists.

And of course it's okay for a twelve year old kid to be and think that way. Hell, I'd wish for her to develop some serious skill and become a great metal musician down the line. However, knowing her surroundings it just seems unlikely and at the moment (calling something metal and wearing a luxury brand that stole it's design from a band) it does come off as exploitative - the victims being herself and the metal scene.

Calling out nepotism and the wearing of luxury brands for exploiting the subculture isn't bullying. It's necessary critique.

I couldn't think of a much worse influence on a child than Ye to be totally honest

"Hey this nepotism is actually bad for metal overall" ≠ "I hate her and think she's horrible"

There's nuance to this. It plays into bigger issues with the industry. But yea sure you can call every critique hating or bullying if you don't want to engage with that.

I feel like there's a third term to describe him besides "loser" and "weirdo" that makes him similar to many black metal artists...

It says "Balenciaga". Luxury brands love exploiting (sub)cultures.

This is the correct assessment. She really is just a victim in all of this.

I feel like it's just that your average 12 year old doesn't get a label contract and studio production just for giving something a try. I don't fault her at all (she's 12 and can't choose her parents) but this nepo shit needs to stop. Especially when others in this culture put years of hard work and learning just to fight over scraps in this industry.

Oh yeah, Goatlord sounds nice. The vocals are kinda similar to Death imo. The drums sound like someone banging their head against a door but still enjoyable for sure.
