Black Metal.

[MasterOLightning]

I'm pretty sure synth-dominated black metal is pretty terrible all the way around.

 

[Einherjar86]

I'm pretty sure you used the word "pretty" one too many times in that post.

 

[MasterOLightning]

Regional dialect.

Seriously, bad stuff.

 

[Eligos]

I'm pretty sure that metal dominated by any single instrument is seriously bad stuff. It should be equal parts guitar, bass guitar, drums, vocals and lyrics, and whatever other instrument the band features.

Ne Obliviscaris and Frantic Bleep come to mind, as does Negura Bunget.

And Scale the Summit.

 

[Einherjar86]

I've not yet checked out Ne Obliviscaris. Are they worth looking into?

 

[Eligos]

YES

 

[MasterOLightning]

Nah, not really.

Also, it should always be primarily guitar, then all the other stuff. It all starts with riffs. Production/tone/aesthetic is secondary, and then other other instruments.

 

[Eligos]

You'd like them. Dodens doesn't, though.

 

[Einherjar86]

I typically enjoy music that Matt doesn't.

 

[Eligos]

Are you checking them out yet?

 

[divine_torture]

They are fantastic. 'Tapestry of the Starless Abstract' is nothing short of fucking win.

 

[Einherjar86]

Are you checking them out yet?

Dude, I'm so drunk right now. I'll check them out tomottow, I promise.

 

[MasterOLightning]

I say it to-may-to, but to each his own.

 

[Eligos]

They are fantastic. 'Tapestry of the Starless Abstract' is nothing short of fucking win.

E-five for the fifth time this week.

 

[divine_torture]

I've noticed we've both been in an 'I don't care, maybe I should troll for lulz' mood lately.

 

[Eligos]

Oh, definitely. I'm running on five hours of sleep every day. My give-a-fuck meter is reading dangerously low.

 

[divine_torture]

I have court soon, of which I'm hoping the result is not what I think it will be. I sleep almost never. My gf and I are on the verge of breaking up. The court would limit my seeing my son (worst case scenario besides incarceration, which I think is unlikely). I have no money, so we will probably lose the house. My uncle is dying. I can't find a job. Giving a fuck is really unlikely at this point.

On topic: I've listened to some Old Wainds lately...it's not horrible, but it does not appeal to me much. There is something bland about them.

 

[Eligos]

Off topic again, it seems like the situation with your gf changes daily. Weren't you talking about proposing to her on Tuesday and the beauties of being together?

 

[divine_torture]

Yes. Like I said, that's what I would love. But she's not the same anymore. She lost that feeling, and I know it. I could be wrong, but I rarely am haha.

Has anyone heard the new Varathron? I don't really know what to say about this shit. Meh..
