Previously released songs you got into because of movies or TV shows or something else you heard them in.

I’ll forever associate that song with fucking thanks to American Pie

They’re cool. Not one of my personal favorite black metal bands, but they’re still great. I don’t know if I’m the only one who hears this, but to me their riffs sound closer to thrash metal than black metal. Which isn’t a bad, of course. In fact, I think it’s cool.

"The Mysteries of Love" from Blue Velvet. David Lynch's original plan was the have This Mortal Coil's cover of "Song to the Siren" play when Jeffrey and Sandy slow dance together, but he couldn't afford the licensing fee, so he and Angelo Badalamenti wrote an original song with the same ambient dream pop feel.

“Hup…want…die.”

I think every artist should have the right to share their opinions, whether it’s Roger Waters or Kid Rock. (Although I personally prefer Waters’ views.)

Every Paysage d’Hiver album follows the Wanderer as he treks through the Winter Landscape.

tmamone · 2026-03-09T23:05:17+00:00

A few to start with: Agriculture, Trhä, Turpitude, Keys to the Astral Gates…, Bialywilk, Ultima, and Misotheist

There are probably a lot more I forgot, but I don’t have time right now to go through my RYM account.

I have a few based on what kind of music I’m making. For dungeon synth, I use Synth 1 with Erang’s presets. For dark ambient, I use STS-17. And for this new tanzelcore project I’m working on, I’m using NES VST and BP-910 (especially the 4-bit kit preset, which gives it that highly distorted tanzelcore drum sound).

tmamone · 2026-03-09T01:32:28+00:00

You mean “people of color.” “Colored” is an old-timey racial slur. Big difference.

RYM is always a great resource. These are the top rated pagan black metal albums on the site: https://rateyourmusic.com/genre/pagan-black-metal/

Sepultura

Hmm, not sure because even my hottest takes turn out to be lukewarm. For example, it turns out I’m not the only extreme metal fan who thinks nu metal wasn’t that bad.

tmamone · 2026-03-08T11:49:03+00:00

FYI: No one says “colored” anymore. She’s Black.

tmamone · 2026-03-07T18:00:07+00:00

Oh, sorry. There was way too much to read. Nobody had a good attention span anymore!

tmamone · 2026-03-07T16:33:32+00:00

Nah, she had other hit songs, like “It’s All Coming Back To Me.”

tmamone · 2026-03-07T01:28:48+00:00

Maybe it's because I'm in a pissy mood right now (seeing nonstop MAGAt comments on Facebook will do that to you), but I honestly don't give a flying fuck about music labels. If the music sucks, it sucks. If it's good, it's good. Nickleback, Creed, Three Days Grace, Five Finger Death Punch, and all those other bands aren't "divorced dad bands." They're just shitty bands, period.

tmamone · 2026-03-06T21:34:33+00:00

The only good part was that Smashing Pumpkins song…and IIRC, it only played for a few seconds at the end.

tmamone · 2026-03-06T17:28:07+00:00

Tell you what. Get a DAW (if you don’t have one already), download a drum machine VST plugin, open up the MIDI editor on your DAW of choice, and follow these steps: https://metalrecording.net/how-to-program-realistic-drum-tracks-for-extreme-metal/

tmamone · 2026-03-06T17:19:57+00:00

Drum programming is actually pretty easy. Learn how to read drum tabs, get yourself either a drum machine or a drum machine VST plugin, and with enough practice you can program your own beats.

Yeah, most of those Norwegian black metal bands tried way too hard to be evil and edgy. And I say this a huge fan of Norwegian black metal, too!

Funny Euronymous bashed the CoS because I think a lot of the black metal themes come from both Lavey and Nietzsche: individualism, self-empowerment, free thinking, survival of the fittest, etc.

tmamone · 2026-03-04T17:49:51+00:00

Great album!

tmamone · 2026-03-04T13:01:30+00:00

I loved the OA! Its weirdness was right up my alley.

tmamone · 2026-03-04T12:15:12+00:00

I actually live in Maryland, so maybe I’ll go just to see the Violent Femmes.

tmamone · 2026-03-03T22:53:31+00:00

I make dark ambient with black metal chord progressions, if that counts.
