Controversial opinions on metal

Considering Beheaded's new album drops on Friday:

Okay, fine. Maybe I am getting a little crotchety in my advanced age, but I am really starting to rebel against most extreme metal made these days. I love extreme metal and I have been around this metal scene since its inception. I don't know what it is lately, but I am really starting to turn away from the (now) generic guttural vocals, chaotic/meaningless (or missing) guitar solos, and blast beats for blast beat's sake. A cacophony, unvirtue signalling to everyone how evil it is. It is getting a little stale. I like the old school stuff. I like other forms of metal. I just wonder how much of what is made lately is going to be remembered in ten years time.

Fuck it! Just put me in the rocking chair on the porch, put a blanket over me, and let me strike passersby with my cane.
