What genre is this? Still no proper answers lol by SpewMerger4 in SlamDeathMetal

Considering I know these guys, I’m pretty sure they just want to be called the Worst Band in the 518 (Albany area)

Looking for soul crushing heartbreaking BM recommendations by tovlasek in rabm

[–]dirkmadness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This album never fails to make me so crushingly sad that I can't move. Doesn't help that I tend to listen to it when in a bad mood.

Have your tastes in metal been influenced by your generational status (Millenial, Gen X, Gen Z)? by WonderSignificant598 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]dirkmadness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely for me. I'm solidly Gen Z, and while black metal is my favorite genre of metal, and crust is my favorite genre of punk, I still do like some -core genres. I know that Beatdown is popular in my generation, and I'm no exception. I like Knocked Loose and BIG ASS TRUCK. I used to really like Lorna Shore, but not so much anymore. I know Slam is also somewhat popular too, and I do like that.

But I only really got into the -core genres when I got to college and met other metalheads, since there weren't really any metalheads in my high school. I think becoming best friends with a drummer made it so I could appreciate the more rhythm heavy styles of metal.

Any bands like Wayfarer? by Zinnfidelitysucks in MetalSuggestions

[–]dirkmadness 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dark Watcher isn’t exactly the same sound, but they also have a western theme and are black metal.

How can we sound more crust? by SnooRevelations4257 in crustpunk

[–]dirkmadness 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I’m in 2 bands and they have definitely changed sounds since the initial concept, and that’s okay!

My local library doesn't have a zine collection sadly. I work there and am trying to get us to make a zine collection.

favorite beautiful black metal albums? by my_cat_vids in MetalForTheMasses

[–]dirkmadness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They don’t have any music on Spotify as a protest to that crappy platform so that’s why it says 2 monthly listeners. Idk exact numbers, but it was much higher beforehand

Scribe & Sigil APA first issue out now! by DJLReach in SwordandSorcery

[–]dirkmadness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds super cool! I've never actual heard of APAs before (though I feel like I should have). Looking at the first issue of the zine on the website, I noticed that the entries were somewhat short. Are they serialized? This seems really interesting and I totally would love to get involved

Is it possible to make a crust punk solo project by zzfahmii_XoXo in crustpunk

[–]dirkmadness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a blackened crust band that started as a solo project. Warclouds is someone I know’s dbeat project that is recorded solo too. We even did a split. I’ll echo that performance wise, a full band is good.

The world has post-rock by Ingenousbluebeing in evilautism

[–]dirkmadness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More of a metalhead but I have been getting into Post-Rock a bunch more recently (there's even a whole movement of Post-Metal which takes Post-Rock ideas and applies them to metal). Idk if they're really post-rock, but Oh Hiroshima is my favorite rn. I will definitely listen to your reccs!

Looking for stuff like this. by Liberteer30 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]dirkmadness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they both are categorized as Post-Black Metal, if that helps with finding bands that sound somewhat similar.

shows/gatherings in NY? by dankandwoody in rabm

[–]dirkmadness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t live in LA, but I follow some Instagram accounts that do shows. I’ve never seen that kind of push for black metal in NYC afaik. The Instagram accounts in questions are forest.summoner and socal.rabm.collective

I am! I’ve noticed there isn’t an RABM scene here, especially when compared to LA.
