I just woke up from a dream that I discovered some black metal band called something like Murkal, with a kinda silly 90s CGI cover art (I remember a lot of green and think it had some kind of original Fallout-style mutant with glowing radioactive shit in the background), and they had really fucking good riffs. So good that in the dream I started to post about them here and admit that some black metal has great riffs. The only thing I remember about the actual music is that their singer sounded just like the Terrahsphere singer only more harsh and with no clean singing, so I was probably just hearing dream-distorted thrash metal in my sleep. A shame black metal sucks in reality.
New controversial opinion: why do trad doom fans have such a low standard for originality? I just listened to the Blood Farmers' S/T on my commute a couple days ago, and while I'll admit the sound/performance was good and the leads/melodies a bit fresh for the style, there were all these little "happy" riff ideas that were straight out of various classic Sabbath songs. Like, they almost had a fresh thing going, but then they just had to go and pepper unfitting copied bits on top. Why do they do this?
