Yeah I hate the concept of recording albums or adding fluff into albums that are already classics. It’s always so phony. Also I never got much into Queensrÿche except for their first two albums and the EP. I tried a couple times to listen to Mindcrime but never made it very far into it. Definitely one of those “classic albums” that never stuck for me because I didn’t listen to it at 14/15. For my American prog I like Fates Warning and Symphony X but that’s about it.
I actually like Queensrÿche. I think Promised land is one of their best albums. I find myself listening that much more than MindCrime. Also W.A.S.P. did have some bangers. I think the only album that’s not great is Neon God. It’s okay but a little over bloated for my taste.
Maybe they'll stop stealing Arghoslent riffs too kek
At the very least you could call those homages if you wanted to be charitable, but the Levant Sultanate is such a blatant ripoff of Bastards on the Hillside that someone even suggesting that it could have been an instance of subconscious borrowing is straining credulity.
The only solution is to keep listening to slam.
Cut off by a fucking BMW driver. Of all the shitty ways to die.
My man, Hood Menace has an entire gimmick based on being devil worshipping Templars, directly samples satanic horror movies, and used to have pentagrams and an inverted cross in their logo. What are you doing?
It’s a different feel though. It’s got a layer of irony wrapped around the whole thing. Feels cinematic as a whole. There’s a different between self aware music like Hood Menace and cringe shit like Deicide.
