Lurch: Official RC Anti-Hipster Warlord


Can I get a witness?

 

[lurch70]

dude, I am half hipster ... I totally am into bands that others already passed on

 

[Dick Sirloin]

That doesn't make any sense.

Pride's getting to your head now....

 

[Ars Magna]

Lurch is krieg. Amirite?

 

[lurch70]

I don't even know what's going on anymore ... that must count for something.

had a chat they other day with a friend who is playing the hipster role (in Romania) and asked him wtf is it with these hipsters all of a sudden all over extreme metal. I find it kind of weird.

he said "exactly ... IT IS weird, hence cool and hip"

slapped forehead.

"black-metal"

"The hatred Liturgy have incurred is white-hot and laser-focused, as the Google search for "Liturgy black metal hipster assholes" eloquently attests. As it is with any genre, black metal "authenticity" is basically a smell test: It's black metal if it feels like black metal. It's an unassailable, indefinable, and profoundly inarguable criterion, but there it is. And it must be said that, in the end, Liturgy just don't feel like black metal. Somehow, you can hear the jeans."

the most offensive thing to me is they use fucking arial black on the cover

you don't ever use arial in print. not now, not ever, not ever ever ever

in fact i think someone who at least has the brain capacity and balls to say something like "The meaning of black metal has something to do with a longing for ecstatic annihilation, a perfect void" (which rings fairly true to me) is a more interesting person than 99% of everyone in every conventional black metal band. black metal is shit now, and liturgy is not black metal but at least they're doing something slightly uncommon and meaningful (to themselves at least)

EDIT: that said. i listened to this:

and it SUUUUCKS. it's so bad.

"black-metal"

"We are really willing to suffer being hated for doing what feels right aesthetically." If that isn't fucking kvlt, nothing is.

that entire review was pretentious drivel.
