Black Metal.

[CiG]

It does remind me of "Quintessence" but specifically go back and listen to the riffing of "Tundra Leech" from 3:20 onwards, that's a totally retro riff man.

Nah, it sounds different to me. Less of that stupid retro metal, pseudo-crust ass-diddling, more of that grimy, throttling black metal from the 90's.

?

 

[CiG]

I thought it sounded great.

 

[Krow]

It does sound great. I love how in the goofy version I watched with commentary he was like... So yeah we stole the opening from Dream Death.

You mean early 00s.

 

[CiG]

Fenriz said he "stole" riffs from Dream Death for the beginning of that track.

 

[CiG]

You realise metal, especially underground metal, is heavily influenced by old bands and tend to wear their influences on their sleeves, right?

Aren't you a fan of Led Zeppelin?

 

[CiG]

They're not world class musicians by any stretch of the imagination, they're ageing music fans who happen to have a band. Fenriz's whole drumming style was always just Philthy + Appice.

You're weird.

Second wave (and onwards) black metal has pretty much always been about worshipping old bands. If anything they're more creative now that they are inspired by all of their influences, rather than just whatever would fit into the narrowly defined lines of what was acceptable to mix into your black metal.

You literally hold Darkthrone to a standard to which you don't hold bands you like.

 

[CiG]

I'd just prefer you do it in a way that's original and not, "LET'S STEAL THE RIFFS FROM DREAM DEATH".

Many bands do this, Fenriz is just honest.

 

[CiG]

Me neither, I just enjoy good music and avoid dumb reasons for not liking it. You liked this song until I pointed out details about it, so clearly you do care.

 

[CiG]

It is original sounding though, this is proven by the fact that you liked it at first. It wasn't obvious to your ears, unlike say Enforcer who are total clones.

 

[CiG]

You're naive.

But that's fine, I'm bored with you on this topic, since it's obvious that you don't have any genuine feelings about Darkthrone but rather some asinine views that you can't logically back up without contradicting yourself. It's simple stubbornness. Yawn.

If you'd like change of subject, I just discovered a band from Barbados called Conrad, which drew my attention, since that's my name. That's a rather odd choice of band name; you don't see any black metal bands called Steve or Jeff. I guess that proves that my name is inherently metal.

 

[CiG]

It's probably because Conrad the name has significant religious history etc. I'll check this out too.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

I'm not too familiar with Caribbean religion and folklore, so forgive me for not knowing.

 

[CiG]

I mean Christianity, they reference it in their lyrics.

 

[CiG]

I don't think it's a namesake since it's German derived, but it is the name of a few saints.

Fascinating shit, guys.

More people should listen to Xibalba.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Upon further inquiry, I came across this:

While reading a folk book, I came across Conrad, the name of a mythical Barbadian spirit of an irritable ghost that possesses women and live in their stomachs. I liked it and decided to use it.

So, I guess that settles it.

Fascinating shit, guys.

I think it's safe to assume that this is the best album you'll find from running a "poop" based query on Metal-archives, or anywhere else for that matter.

So Velvet Cocoon. I hear Genevieve is really good from people with solid taste. I've probably listened to it twice and didn't get it. Should I revisit?
