An intellectual stripping down of Metalocalypse...

Interesting. This guy is upset. Also, I'd recommend the Nazi's amongst us visit ANUS.com immediately, and everyone else just enjoys the inane banter on Metalocalypse

ZOMG we better defend TRUE metal from the posers and infidels!!!!!!!!!!

Please.

I think metal might be the only genre where this kind of thing occurs.
That is, pop culture borrows from the legion and we NOTICE.

Does poser even exist in any other genre?

 

[mReEtTaIlRsEkD]

btw, I can see where the guy is coming from. Personally, I can be pretty territorial about my music. Sometimes I find myself burying all my favorite bands behind a wall of wit. I know it does not matter, really, but even as I endeavor to be indifferent to it, I occasionally fail.

Anus.com is a cancer on the metal scene. End of story.

If an email was easier to find I would've have told them this but christ.. it's just music and furthermore its just a damn tv show! And the paradox: This guy typed a biased review, what's the point in that? Is he trying to tell us that if we think for ourselves we watch dethklok? I don't get it... the only sheep in the realm of watching and not watching dethklok are the ones who don't because of that little elitist rant of his.

I agree with both these statements. I too sometimes get very territorial about my music, but I really don't see Dethklok being a threat to the metal scene.
I do think the guy who wrote this is very silly. Hessians are German mercenaries, not metal fans.

I love being a poseur. It is undoubtably the most awesome thing in the world.

I've read anus for a while. This guy has very few good things to say about metal thats not recorded on a 4 track in the mountains.

ANUS has some great articles in general.

If you like sitting firmly right of centre.

Conceptually progressive extremism this death metal, Uniting architecture destroys expression from uniting album. Precision denies evolutionary and neo-classical concludes yet dividing, conceptual neo-classicism. Romantic death metal denies neo-classicism upon foggy conclusion, Textural sense concludes the neo-classicism to spiritual power chords, Greatly harmonic performance yet melody, Narration denies evolutionary and foggy clashes with and elitistic, atonal cycle, Chaos divides conceptual and abstract distorts with polyrhythmic, searing drums. Phrase and progression senses melodic dissonance and focused violence, Romantic phrasing orders harmonic through textural chaos, Narration clashes with epic and atmospheric orders this polyrhythmic, atmospheric ideology: Death metal leads textural and open rages and ideological, ideological sense. Black metal yet precision rages atonal obscurity and neo-classical dissonance, Rhythmically ideological themes yet narration. Harmony and nihilism perfoms fuzzy elitism and focused violence. rapidly narrative precision builds phrase.

Is that so?

 

[Chromatose]

perhaps ...

 

[derek]

perhaps YOU SHOULD SUCK A FUCK!?

 

[Chromatose]

perhaps.

 

[derek]

perhaps YOU SHOULD EAT MY SOCKS!?

 

[Chromatose]

I have taken it into consideration.

 

[derek]

I am glad.

It is possible to make up for being a pain in the ass through the use of an impressive vocabulary.

 

[zmetallica]
