they’re pretty fantastic, if you like symphonic black metal, you should check out limbonic art and the arcturus debut
you should listen to my friends band
I mean, is it really Kvlt if you’re not searching for the mixtape in the woods?
The tape has to be buried in snow and frostbitten.
Don’t ask me how inanimate objects can become frostbitten ok? It’s just grim and kvlt
I’m looking like a poser with my shovel looking for that mixtape… suddenly the local 5th gen black metal band taking photos for the cover art see me and think I’m burying a shallow grave.
Edit: They start weeping, because they’re more post-rocky and open than the edgelords of yore
do you like wormlust and andavald? two cool icelandic bands that kinda fit that niche. oranssi pazuzu and jordablod too
Everyone that takes metal seriously completely misunderstands metal as intentionally absurd, over the top, pushed beyond the boundaries of normality and into self aware ridiculousness. Demons and the coming hordes of hell and whatever screamed to death and edginess.
This is why combining it with other seemingly absurd things works, and generally doing whatever utterly ridiculous stuff you want to mix with it. Ridiculous combinations work because it is quite ridiculous to begin with.
Everyone that fails to understand that metal is ridiculous and silly doesn’t really understand metal. There’s a reason shit like Ladybeard works. It’s ridiculous, accept it, lean into it and have fun.
Oh yeah, even a lot of the “tr0o kvlt” black metal bands are firmly tongue in cheek, just look at Darkthrone, Aura Noir and Immortal, or even Venom if you want to go way back.
And in my 25 or so years in the metal scene, 90% of the people I’ve met are just absolute goofballs.
absolute goofballs
Rofl god yes. So much ridiculous goofyness that people get up to at festivals, gigs and pubs. The metal events in particular had a far goofier vibe with sillier behaviour compared to something like the punk gigs where you could reasonably expect all the punks to be on drugs by the end of the night or the emo gigs where half the pub would be empty halfway through as they always went home early.
Metal dudes just wanted to “be metal”, which itself meant to behave somewhat ridiculously.
Can you show me some metal that shouldn’t be viewed with some self awareness that it is absurdist and over the top?
anti-war '80s thrash, Napalm Death and grind against inequality, Botanist, etc.
I also like Deafheaven so I’m banned from Facebook metal groups.
Just lie, but like the few FB groups for black metal I’m in are shitholes, frankly. The admins acting all ‘centrist’…
“well I don’t like their politics” promotes some shitty neonazis with guitars “listen it’s about the harshness, that’s all”
Atmospheric black metal, post-black metal, and black-gaze are all great lmao.
