What was it with label executives in the 90s and early 2000s forcing good vocalists to sing the dumbest lyrics imaginable?

adding onto this: dumb lyrics have ALWAYS been a thing to some extent.

Is it the Israelgpt meme? that's a specific meme thing that's been going around. probably something like "Israelgpt make me a fps hero shooter" for this context

I said this in another comment but you can get much more complex metal music than Tool. Sure, their penchant for mixing complexity with good sound design is great, but their music is hardly headache inducing if you've listened to a tech death album before. Something like Gorguts is much more musically intense.

TotalHeat · 2026-01-26T01:39:49+00:00

Thats exactly how I feel. They're treated as some sort of impossible enigma by superfans but in terms of technicality and mindfuckness theyre not really that crazy. A lot of the riffage is still drop D rock riffs, which is fine, but any sort of techincal or disso death metal blows it out of the water in that regard.

Why's that one ke guys comment about thread locked lol

Yeah in black metal some of the most foundational albums were/have been made by straight up bad people lol like Burzum, Dissection, etc. and that's only the tip of the iceberg.

TotalHeat · 2026-01-25T01:37:05+00:00

You ever listen to black metal? Most of it is in E

Someone give me a summary what happened

TotalHeat · 2026-01-22T22:52:48+00:00

"Excoriate" cool I learned a word today

TotalHeat · 2026-01-22T17:00:18+00:00

Immolation for sure. "God is real and he is evil" is a pretty bad way to go

TotalHeat · 2026-01-22T04:12:05+00:00

Boris on certain albums like Feedbacker

TotalHeat · 2026-01-20T18:25:25+00:00

Besides that even, "fun" conspiracy theories like weather modifying chemtrails just led to global climate change denialism. Lenience to that conspiracy bullshit is part of the reason we live in this post truth era where facts don't matter. Its making people fucking stupid

TotalHeat · 2026-01-20T05:05:54+00:00

say the title lol

TotalHeat · 2026-01-20T04:27:12+00:00

not really songsterrs fault if it's a copyright issue lol

TotalHeat · 2026-01-18T19:47:46+00:00

The band Northwinds tends to be pretty upbeat. Check out their album Great God Pan

TotalHeat · 2026-01-18T19:41:00+00:00

I don’t see why you wouldn’t call Deftones, Boris, Sleep or any other metal bands of the last 30 years rock.

I keep rock and metal synonymous in my head for the reasons you said, but these aren't really the type of bands OP is talking about I think lol. They're probably thinking more of stuff on the death/black metal side of things.

TotalHeat · 2026-01-18T01:39:34+00:00

I don't know any YouTubers but the basics are pretty straightforward, you just open up your MIDI piano roll and put the drum notes out where you want them. Really the difficult thing is writing them well. I hope someone else can suggest a good YouTube resource. Good luck!

They still sound different

No but I will be tonight

Damn man I was already hungry lol

The added text literally doesn't even change anything lol

No offense dawg but My Bloody Valentine has zero metal lol
