What exactly is metal music? Serious question. There is so much “sub genre” autism with metal music and gatekeepers that believe they have the correct metal canon that I honestly don’t know what actual metal music is supposed to be. It seems to be one of the only genres (the other I can think of being electronic music) of music out there with this problem.

Riffs go burr

True metal music must have an apostolic succession from Black Sabbath.

I really like "L'Appel du Vide" but when I figured out the drums aren't real it kind of soured the experience for me. Seems they used a drum machine for this album too, unfortunately.

The term "Cowboy Black Metal" reminds me of Maquahuitl's EP "Con su Pistola en la Mano". Has some real infectious grooves, that it does indeed. Great integration of folk music into BM, not an easy task IMO.

On this topic, for those unaware, there are actually quite a few bands of this emerging micro-genre, each executing the concept to varying degrees of success. The earliest example to my knowledge would be Cobalt with their release "Gin" (I don't know if their earlier albums fall into this category, haven't listened.) Wayfarer is another one, featuring the drummer from Blood Incantation, though aside from the occasional vaguely Ennio Morricone sounding riff they pull mostly from bands like Agalloch, so mileage may vary. Vital Spirit does the style extremely well, and then Dark Watcher is kind of middling. All are worth checking out if you find the style intriguing.

Any one else tired of that beaner boy, Jose Mangin on Liquid Metal? He annoys the fuck out of me. Always putting some stupid ass Latino band in the "Devil's Dozen", that gets voted out in a week. Also, tired of his stupid ass interviews, trying to associate everyone with Latino culture. He interviewed Sepultura last year, and was trying to speak the Mexicant bullshit with them. They are Brazilian, and speak Portuguese. Another interview was with Escuela Grind, who has a Mexican drummer. He was all up on his nuts, and then started in on the singer. He told her that she had a Latina look. She said she was Portuguese, and Greek, not Latina. He then said, "Oh, that's Latina", and she didn't respond.

Lol I listened to both liquid metal and ozzys boneyard way back when I was first getting into metal, I hated him back then. Just recently had a free trial for sirius in the car and man, he really hasn't changed. Still acting in his 20s when he's like 40. Liquid metal never really played good shit but it only seems to have gotten worse, and to be honest Ozzys boneyard wasn't much better. I did enjoy the quiz show they would do but it took all my strength to tune out Jose. And of course whenever some spic would call in he'd cum his pants and put on that retarded accent. If you took a shot every time he did that you'd fucking die. He's such a dick sucker to anyone famous and you can tell he thinks he's a big shot in the "metal community"

"Sean The Butcher" and "Matthew K. Heafy" are much better hosts. Jose is usually too stoned to continue a conversation, much less conduct an interview

But we all know that this Polack fuckhead doesn't have the balls to do it. If anything, the whole "dude Jeebus lmao" posture got quite old, and given the way things are these days, taking potshots at Christianity is low effort - try that with Islam or Judaism if you are trve "no religion".

Back on topic, the latest Hirax album.

Oh wow.

I don't know how much you guys keep up with drama within the community but recently Andreas Kisser gave an interview on a podcast telling the old school fans to "fuck off" in response to fans from the Cavalera era dumping on recent Sepultura releases and side-projects Kisser has been doing all these years. The interview itself is in Portuguese so it would be useless to link it here.

To those not in the know, since Roots and the departure of Max, Kisser has been trying to emulate the commercial success of Roots with mixed results while doing some side gigs with mainstream Brazilian musicians such as Zé Ramalho and Ivete Sangalo which have fuck all to do with metal. This has warranted some backlash from Sepultura and Brazilian metal fans.

Kisser felt butthurt and said "metal fans are annoying and are always living in the past" and some other stuff. This only shows that he ain't dealing with the criticism well.

@Señora Airi

Slayer is the pioneer on that.

If it's up on youtoob, we can use auto-generated subtitles. Go ahead and share it!

Woke up remembering this gem of an album:


I remember being 110% hooked to this album on my first listen, back in the day.

I can't quite "get" their latest albums, but their first albums are GOAT from beginning to end!

Another banger that comes to mind:

Gin is a fantastic album. Wouldn't have thought of it as "country black metal" but I see how you could.
In fact I'm currently getting into Slow Forever after many reservations (how do you follow up such a solid album as Gin? plus the new vocalist has some big shoes to fill in) and I'm finding it just as good so far, couldn't tell you which one I prefer for the moment.

16 Euros for a freaking tape ... :story:

It's still not that much, at least it's listenable. I remember back in the glory days of Nuclear War Now! Forums there were multi-page threads where divorced dads were debating whether they made a good deal buying xeroxed Moonblood tape dubs on ebay from NelsonBermudez666 for 70$ or they should have just bought it for fiddy.
