Striker and Bullet are specifically playing heavy metal kinds of music, how are they even comparable to a band like Darkthrone who are mixing ALL 80's metal into a sound?
This is my biggest issue with your opinion on this, nothing you say makes any sense at all. You just have this weird bug up your old ass about Darkthrone yet you can't manage to spew out anything that justifies it in any rational way. Calling Darkthrone a band on the retro trend wagon is factually moronic, because they don't have any similarities with any of the bands that are actually on that wagon, they mix ALL 80's styles of metal and some punk in with their black metal rooted sound.
It's actually quite original, even though it's obviously not trying to do anything new.
Also, it's hilarious that your old dumb plastic keyboard-black metal loving ass talks about ripping bands off, right after you praise totally unoriginal throwback bands like Bullet and Striker.
You're a joke, a bad one.
