It's been a long time since I posted here, mainly because I started exploring other genres. I'm sure my avatar and sig are childish as fuck, so yeah, apologies in advance. Recently I've been listening to metal again, and I've been thinking about how the choice of language affects the sound. Like, for example, with darkthrone, some songs are in english, some in norwegian. The norwegian songs sound more powerful, more chilling. The most chilling band I've ever heard, burzum, sings in norwegian too. I was also recently listening to the album babasonica by babasonicos (a pop band who did a one-off into metal) which is a sort of old school metal sound, kind of like metallica and NWOBHM, but it is sung in spanish. I noticed that the fact that it was sung in spanish made it seem more passionate, and very awesome in it's own way. I'm just curious as to what everyone else's thoughts on this are. Does language make a difference?, do different genres sound better with different languages?, is it bad that english is dominating metal?
