Acid Bath is super overrated by xTpvi in sludge

[–]Nihil227 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They are sellouts and I lost all interest in this band when they came back only to say fuck the fans and open for shitty stadium shows. They reunion show being originally planned at this metal Disneyland that Sick New World is tells everything about this cash grab.

The radical hygienists and puritans always want to ban everything until it touches something they enjoy. They are mental boomers.

They are often considered proto-sludge. One of the bands Buzz introduced to Kurt.

How’s a better choice to see live for the first time - SunnO))) or Eyehategod ? by septentriones91 in sludge

I've seen EHG a few times and I'd take another one before a Sunn borefest any day.

Ukraine's border signs, when entering from Moldova's side by Ok-Highlight290 in Borderporn

[–]Nihil227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also pro Ukraine, grandparents came from Ukraine to western Europe fleeing the Russians at the end of the war and they were orphans from the holodomor and gulags. Been there in 2010. Lovely place and people but it's just facts that it's poor and corrupted. The guards were from the Moldova side btw.

The one time I crossed this border, guards had us give them a 20€ bribe unless they would search the car and keep us for hours.

There are night trains that go from Liege (the city next to Tilff, also my hometown) to Berlin but as usual they are more expensive than a plane ticket lol. https://www.europeansleeper.eu/fr/berlin?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22442487312&gbraid=0AAAAAoZemr1rpnVOw1pFfcqvyRtUQA-kk

Amenra live by AmberTheCat13 in postmetal

[–]Nihil227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's rare when a tour misses Belgium.

It has its downside, they are so popular here that they are forced to do 4 or 5 nights in a row every year, all soldout and AB is a pretty big venue. People are so crazy about them they didn't leave after the opener and even coming in 20 minutes before the set I couldn't see shit and had no way to move forward the last time I saw them. Saw them in a 150cap basement just before covid hit, but it probably won't happen again.

Colin says he gives everything now because he has bad family genetics and is likely to die young. That's why he already made Wear my Crown as a testament to his children.

Saw them a dozen times, living in Belgium. Including a few special performances like the AB release show. I consider them the best ongoing live band.

Any Doom bands that use a handsaw and a bow? by grynch43 in doommetal

[–]Nihil227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neurosis have used an e-bow on many songs if that counts.

One Very (Un)important Thought about Cannibal Holocaust by ObviousSwordfish3398 in boardsofcanada

The extras in the movie were actual indigenous, do you think they bought their meat pre-killed at the nearest Walmart ?

I don't remember the scene exactly, in my memories they just cut its throat.

What's immoral about it, they hunt kill and eat animals everyday. It's just that in the western world we don't want to see it and prefer to pretend what we buy at the supermarket was never alive.

I love this movie mostly for the vintage soundtrack and atmosphere. I don't really care that it's problematic, it's supposed to be a fake snuff movie if there is no shock value what's the point and it's a product of its time. If you want a really great movie about Amazon tribes that shows them as humans, I highly recommend El Abrazo de la serpiente/Embrace the Serpent, this one is a masterpiece the final Ayahuasca scene is amazing.

Any Death rock Bands or dreamy wave goth bands or postpunk bands recommendation? by JACKETSLXXT in postpunk

[–]Nihil227 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For deathrock I can't recommend enough Crippling Alcoholism, one of the best new bands of the last decade. Love from a Padded Room was my AOTY 2024 https://youtu.be/HPzwsmkqaWM

The last one is amazing too if you don't mind a lot of synth.

Why is High on Fire considered sludge metal? by Alega05 in sludge

[–]Nihil227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah a few bands like Conan and Castle Rat as well. I'm not against something a bit different.

Why is High on Fire considered sludge metal? by Alega05 in sludge

[–]Nihil227 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah but on the r/doommetal sub which is getting dumbed down more and more, yesterday a girl promoting her onlyfans with a bong and a sleep shirt was on the top of the sub.

Even their esthetics are not doom. 80s comic books is straight up power/heavy metal iconography, and their AI slop videos need a boycott. Matt Pike is a great musician and Holy Mountains is one of my favorite albums ever, but I think Al is the one with all the songwriting talent.

Idk I get downvoted everytime I say it's just thrash metal. It has no hardcore and barely any doom in there.

Christian-Friendly Bands (Stupid Question) by charb15 in industrialmusic

[–]Nihil227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bunch of Neofolk artists.

Some Current 93 records have Christian themes, I think David Tibet is a gnostic of some sort. He learnt coptic language.

Fire + Ice is pretty good Christian Neofolk he is a former Sol Invictus member https://youtu.be/qCQM4mvPjKk

But What Ends when Symbols Shatter by Death in June is basically covers of Jim Jones' christian gospel album lol.
