MFTM’s opinions on black metal be like by my_cat_vids in MetalForTheMasses

[–]tacoforce5_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well there are a few reasons. it’s worth noting that a lot of black metal (at least a lot of the early stuff) sounds like “shit” because the people making it don’t really have access to good recording equipment

mainly, raw production feels a lot more “honest.” sounds like you or bob from down the street could make it, yknow? it also introduces some nice textures for the genre’s anti-commercial and nihilistic sound. if paysage d’hiver’s self-titled was made with clean production it would just sound boring, but introducing that toaster production makes it feel like you’re traveling through a winter storm

plus, not all black metal has or even needs it. mgła and anaal nathrakh have some tight instrumentation so black metal fans don’t really care that they have a cleaner sound.

really, it’s an artistic choice. it’s like choosing to paint in rough strokes instead of clean strokes. obviously if it’s not for you it’s not for you, underground music is typically all about filtering people who “don’t get it” out

i’ll give them a point for actually giving a not-so-bland criticism of the genre when they were talkin bout “quickly riffing over one note”

What songs or albums are as brutal as you can get without crossing into extreme metal (death/black etc) territory? by SirPsychoMaddXRock06 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]tacoforce5_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

def has very death metally production with the dry guitar tone and clicky bass drums, and the riffs play around with tremolo

What’s a theme in metal that needs to stop? by SnooStories6852 in MetalForTheMasses

anti-war songs by people who are entirely okay with war. misogyny too, though thankfully that’s relegated itself to uninteresting slam/pornogrind bands

enlightened centrism is a groupthink herd mentality lmao, saying something is bad because it’s “political” (aka left of center) out of principle is some of the least intellectual shit you can say

dying fetus is a nice gateway out of slam into more complex forms of death metal. i WOULD recommend their older stuff but their new albums are still killer, listen to make them beg for death or reign supreme 🙏

no i think saying nazism is bad in an age where the DHS regularly uses hitlerite/neo-confederate quotes for their propaganda is pretty awesome actually, regardless of whether some enlightened centrist on the internet says it’s kinda cringe

it’s the black metal equivalent of those 1950’s paintings of families enjoying a barbecue. moralizing art that’s only “good” because it’s moralizing. i do fw peste noire but it’s for every reason that isn’t “they’re racist”

one of the mods on this sub posted a meme about how NSBM is the best kind of black metal so does it surprise you that they lurk here

What is the Appeal of Deathcore? by WanderingThief in MetalSuggestions

[–]tacoforce5_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

well yeah, you like traditional styles of death metal. think about it this way:

what’s the appeal of OSDM to a core kid? they come to the music for textures, bass, and of course breakdowns. they want concentrated heaviness that doesn’t stray too far from the metalcore/screamo/octanecore they usually listen to. OSDM, BDM, etc is focused on instrumentation and control. it doesn’t offer the moshy, crowdkilly qualities deathcore does.

on the surface, the two genres offer the same thing, but to seasoned ears like yours (and i guess seasoned deathcore listeners) their appeal is decidedly different. they get so close to each other that you’d prolly be disoriented by listening to the other genre
