What is the nu-male movement? We must know it so that we can deny its advances when it comes to tempt us.
Nu-male is safe but progressive.
Nu-male is accessible but intolerant.
Nu-male is intellectual but facile.
Nu-male is a product invented from whole cloth, an unnatural academic foray into metal, adorned with stolen designs like a Christmas tree with baubles - and no less commercial. Nu-male is an appropriation of the sound of danger, and thus represents a marginalization and disenfranchisement of the progenitors and true artists that work with that sound. Nu-male does not celebrate its origin; nu-male uses its origin as the basis of a semantic fallacy in order to bootstrap its own agenda into legitimacy. The often-mocked term applied to it is actually entirely accurate: nu-male is untrue. It is false. It is a sheep in wolfs' clothing. It is a cultural assault perpetrated on a genre that is already made defenseless by way of its own defense: the isolation from the mainstream. With no representative in popular culture, the industry and critic complex are free to plunder the vaults of true metal, cobble together whatever disarmed Frankenstein's monster they please and sell it to the general public as a morally safe and forward-thinking product - as socially or artistically "acceptable" metal.
True metal is not acceptable. It is a hate crime.

Opinions on Boris in /metal/? I know they get a fair share of love outside of /metal/ on Sup Forums in general, but what about here?

This, and I'm being completely honest, might be one of the greatest thrash albums ever made. People will argue and throw this up against a bunch of albums from the 80s. But that's just looking at the past through rose-colored glasses. Too many metalheads are stuck in the past, at least in my opinion. I don't care how old an album is; if it's got incredible songwriting chops, creativity, attitude, musicianship, and just all-around passion, then it's a classic. This album nails all those aspects right on the head. As time rolls on, this work of art will be solidified among the all-time greats such as Rust in Peace, Ride the Lightning, Reign in Blood, The Years of Decay, Spectrum of Death, and many more. HAIL VEKTOR!!!
