Nice definition of 'dissonant', wouldnt go for that myself. I study music at university, and have played guitar for 9 years so i'd rather not enter an argument with you about music, as you must know FAR more about it than i do...V.V.V.V.V. said:Extremely = very
Abundant = plentiful amounts [of]
Dissonant = jarring yet spacious and organic (musically speaking)
Riffing = guitar playing, in the form of riffs
Please don't tell me you don't get it again.
Demiurge said:GBK is a perfect example of a band lacking any originality that is often touted as unique or even innovative. They draw some influence from NWOBHM and thrash, but mostly sound a lot like old GBH playing black metal. Don't get me wrong, they're amusing on occasion, but bring little to the table. Megiddo is a band that would be relevant if the were to've existed in 1984, but now, they're just a good tribute band. I like it, I'll admit, but am tired of seeing it heralded as more than it is. Deathspell Omega began as outright norsecore, but have developed into an interesting group, which pleases me.
V.V.V.V.V. said:Pre-SMRC DS Omega was very good and had excellent usage of raw production with extremely abundant dissonant riffing, usage of atmosphere for a listening-improving experience (even though SMRC did better at that), actual changes in tempo, and absolutely no "grind" influence (the like of which is found on most "norsecore" bands resumes). I don't try hard, I'm merely right.

The amount of self-fellating imagery this sentence evokes is hilarious. Way to boost the ego, man!
Demiurge said:Don't get bogged down in that sentence, nick. Note that I mentioned something about "tongue in cheek," eh?

I was referring to its evolution over the years. Not today. Look at how many Romantic or Baroque composers totally aped each other and still made great music.Transilvanian Scotsman said:Classical music is no longer made like it was. Somewhat similar to Black Metal. Classical of course being a common pseudonym for all Orchestral music. But as you implied, Orchestras today merely cover this music. Nothing new really. Some modern stuff is good, but I still prefer the older composers. Not sure stagnation is quite the same there.
True. But it and most other types of technical, composed, metal(death, power, progressive, doom) are the closest thing these days.However, Black Metal is not exacty on the same music level as Classical.
