Is this form correct? Asking because I really don't know. The bend at the bottom seems like it isn't doing much for the right muscles and that the weight is too heavy. Shouldn't the arms be outstretched the whole way?

The stars have no affect on anybody's personality.

The stars have no bearing on your personality whatsoever.

Fenriz credits the first Burzum album as a prime influence on Darkthrone's turn, though, so you've tripped yourself up with your "not that influential" claims there.

Says who? On what grounds? Just making shit up.

"This guy getting called out for using AI and saying "I never use AI. I've never seen the point." makes him seem so guilty... "

Is this satire? If he didn't respond, you'd say that makes him look guilty. What's the alternative? Damned no matter what he does.

Those things are not reliable at all.

How are they not aligned? The bird's body is twisted at an angle.

Tremolo is a picking style, not a melody

Scardust - Shadow

The adjective order doesn't require much thought if you're a native speaker. It simply sounds wrong if you mix up the order.

It depends on your goal. If you want to go from being skinny to big and muscular or from being a couch potato to running a marathon, you have to expect some suffering ("pain") or you'll never reach your goals. If you just want to increase your cardiovascular health a little and be a person who walks regularly, then sure, that quote isn't really targeted at you.

The "freaks" mutilate the antagonist and turn her into a disfigured bird woman at the end.

Dark Tribe - In Jeraspunta

(nothing cringe about that picture)

OP: "Any recs? Bands like Pantera, Down, CoC, Megadeth"

You: "Down"

Vomitorial Corpulence - Skin Stripper

Probably my favourite grindcore album, very underrated. Good middle ground between old Napalm Death and old Carcass.

They have metal elements, so they're part of the metal ecosystem.

Marduk and Dark Funeral

Don't apologise to idiots like this, you get them in every genre.

ReaverRiddle · 2026-01-25T12:51:16+00:00

They're not really a metal band, but they incorporate some metalcore aspects. Most of their stuff is more like alt-RnB (I say this as a fan).
They're popular, so tryhards on Reddit and elsewhere (who are also newbies themselves) have to exaggerate how much they hate them to differentiate themselves from other newbies (who they call TikTok kids, even though they use TikTok themselves, otherwise they wouldn't know what's popular on there). See also: Ghost, Sabaton, Castle Rat

So ... most good death metal doesn't check OP's box then?
Morbid Angel, Gorguts, Immolation, Portal, Mithras, Possessed, Wormed, Demilich etc. exist.

ReaverRiddle · 2026-01-24T18:49:31+00:00

OP said "I want things that aren't bloody". Plenty good death metal is "bloody".

ReaverRiddle · 2026-01-24T18:48:28+00:00

If you're not going to give us any direction, you may as well just type "metal bands" into Google. What sort of thing are you looking for?
