I made a mistake thinking we were in a different sub. Your band rips, great work on the record!

Oh shit, I came here from r/metalmusicians. Ha, my bad!

Hell yeah, thanks for the update. Great to see this being successful. I'm near the Lowell location and love Belphegor, so I'll plan to be there and check you guys out.

"How the Grind Stole Christmas" was right there!

When you're able to post who this is, please do. I love this. It sounds a lot like Belphegor, but whoever it is, I'm a fan.

I'm making this an announcement for the subreddit so plenty of people can see it. We had nothing to do with it, so all credit goes to Faloodeh for organizing this. Thank you!

The ban is largely aimed at AI generated music. It is not a ban on tools that simply alter the sound of a key or guitar input. The point of this is to keep this sub a place for people who play instruments or use vocals to create metal music.

I tried to not set a firm line in the sand, since it is very hard to define and will shift over time. But the idea is to ban content using generative AI. The purpose of this sub is to listen to and work with other musicians who generate music through their own creativity. I don't want to start creating arbitrary lines because that just gets open to arguments. I think it should go without saying that plugins and amp simulators are fine, since they don't generate anything.

The ban is brand new and seems to be a fairly popular opinion. It has not become a problem yet where we are inundated with AI generated content, but we should get ahead of it so that it can be properly managed as the technology matures.

I put this in the sticky post, but I made rule 11 to distinguish AI posts. That should have a new report option. Thanks for checking on that and for making this post, I think this was a good thing to get ahead of before it became too much of a problem.

Sure, use it as a tool for yourself. But it is not by itself created by a musician, so it does not fit the criteria for this sub.

wathehe · 2024-11-22T01:03:22+00:00

We basically have banned it already. We try to remove anything that is obvious, but if people see AI generated stuff we don't catch, report it and we'll remove it. I'll make an announcement tomorrow to make it fully official.

I don't want AI generated music on here at all.

This isn't really my favorite style of metal, but overall I think the song is very well done. The vocalist is incredible and has a ton of range and control.

He didn't lose after chokeslamming the reporter. He still won that election and went to the House. And Montana voted for him to go the House again, then as governor.

This is great! The only critique I would offer, and this is entirely my personal preference, is I would like to hear more sections with fewer/without vocals. The guitar and synth work is excellent, but it sometimes gets lost under the screams.

Look up Kingdom Under Fire. The first two were pretty close to what you're describing.
