The future of metal

I think that the Eastern European folk metal scene will have much to give us in years coming, many bands from it are already gaining recognition in Kroda and Arkona in particular.

when bands like that get more famous the antifa stalinhumpers generally attack the gigs they attend when they head westward.
 
idk but I take the attacked bands side. the people who fought against nazi occupation during the war are some pretty cool guys but people who are basically just acting as a communist style censorship squad are complete cunts.
 
I don't think Eastern Europe has what it takes to push metal forward in any revolutionary way. EE bm is hot right now because it's relatively fresh and has a somewhat different approach, but that'll get old. Besides, when most of it is murky folk/black metal with even murkier lyrical themes it doesn't look very promising to metal as a whole.
Hey, I think metal could still evolve a lot in the lyrical department, hopefully there'll come bands with something real to say, i.e not senseless Christ-bashing, dungeons and dragons, or cheesy nostalgic NS themes. I'm talking bands like Sabbath, that more often had something real to say.
 
A lot of mainstream metal (I mean hard rock) that came out since the mid 90s has has 'socially relevant lyrics'.

D&D >>>>>> break up songs and cheesy humanist songs
 
yo dawg i herd u like buildups so we put another guitar track over your guitar track so you can buildup while you buildup
 
Metalcore will be dead soon just like other trends in the past.I also think we will see some ridiculous genre trying to mix metal with some another genre and try to pass off as metal but will get a lot of shit in the metal community and then dies off
 
Nu Metal hasn't died off. Metalcore is actually progressing as a genre. Not necessarily to something worthwhile, but it's progressive and becoming its own mix of metal, hardcore, house mix, and emo.

Also, Glam didn't die off. Genres don't die off.
 
I can't see metal progressing much in terms of expansion (or at least good expansion) 50 years from now but I wouldn't say it will become inactive.
