Controversial opinions on metal

[Phylactery]

Would you prefer queer?

faggotry sounds better if you're going to use anything like that. Don't you have an English degree or something? I'm expecting far more articulate descriptions of the music than "faggy".

 

[Internally Deformed]

Yeah I do, which is surprising given that my essays were just a hodgepodge of homophobic and racist slurs.

Edit: I'm racking my brain for a better word for what I dislike in the atmosphere of King Diamond albums, and the best I can come up with is campy.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

I don't really care if you say "faggy" or not, but I do question your criteria for branding music as such on occasion.

 

[Internally Deformed]

If it has falsetto vocals, it's probably slightly faggy.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

Ample Destruction is the most heterosexual metal album of all time, so that pretty much invalidates that statement.

 

[Internally Deformed]

Yeah, Jag Panzer is pretty cool. The most heterosexual metal album of all time is clearly Balls to the Wall, though.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

London leatherboys
Nightmare's pleasure, what you've done
London leatherboys
All together
All together, nightmare's pleasure

Yeah, this doesn't seem gay at all.

 

[Internally Deformed]

You're being literal again.

For what it's worth though, these Jag Panzer lyrics aren't totally without homoerotic subtext:

Sweat dripping lords of the metal kind
Blow you out of sight...
Give 'em hell 'cause you're harder than steel
Oh, you're harder than steel, yeah, ya feel
All for yourself and no one else

Take it from me, I have an English degree.

 

[Internally Deformed]

Actually, this one's even better:

My sights are homing in, I feel the power surge
No time for excuses now that I have the urge
Madame and mister listen up and take heed
I was raised in hell and I'm spreading the seed...
So get down on your knees 'cause this time you're gonna pay

In fairness that's more indiscriminately bisexual than it is straight up homo though.

Just had a look at the track listing:

9 - ManUNkind

Also jesus fuck, the coverart:

 

[MrTagoMago]

Yeah someone on another forum pointed out how dumb that song title is and yeah the album cover is hideous in the worst way possible. I listened to the sample of Hardwired on youtube and it's just really underwhelming and dull.

 

[Internally Deformed]

Did you expect better though? It's not exactly going to make it onto my best of the year list, but it's better than anything I remember hearing on Death Magnetic.

 

[MrTagoMago]

Naw. I didn't expect it to be very good at all. I didn't expect the album cover to be that much of an eyesore either though.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Just had a look at the track listing:

9 - ManUNkind

Also jesus fuck, the coverart:

Hahaha oh Jesus

 

[The Butt]

Lmao. Good for a laugh I suppose.
