GRANDMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaa

wrong album lol

It's out

I know duh

>na na na na Elmo's World!

I've been out of the loop, recommend me good 2017 albums.

I recently listened to some Dokken singles. I thought that by my RYM history, I simply MUST love it. But sadly, it's just like the line where I stop caring about hair metal. The solos are amazing, and the guitar tone is good, but the bulk of the songs is just not my thing, it's plain romantic pop.
Were they the ones who started the trend for ballad/serenade hair metal? Don't know really. I must say, I do like me occasional Europe or Queensryche (Mindcrime sounds literally like Dokken on steroids to me). But Dokken I just don't get

What's some good metal with mystic themes, literally any subgenre is fine

>he re-used that pic from yesterday

cool album art though
maybe some industrial doom in the same vein as P.H.O.B.O.S.

>what is this a picture of

a death fortress

I understand the underlying appeal of Manowar and on paper, that'd be fucking amazing. Like strong men to the max, etc. Some songs, like return of warlord, I do like a lot. The problem is, they do take this not-so-original formula to the point of self-parody, to the point where they actually look gay and you can't enjoy them honestly. And it's just the same okayish heavy metal really, there's nothing new in it since when again? The '80s?

wtf i'm no longer a nu-male

then what's this

BROTHERS EVERYWHERE
RAISE YOU HANDS INTO THE AIR
WE'RE WARRIORS
WARRIORS OF THE WORLD
LIKE THUNDER FROM THE SKY
SWORN TO FIGHT AND DIE
WE'RE WARRIORS
WARRIORS OF THE WORLD

You linked the short song. You mean the album it's on right? It's pretty good actually, really close to what I'm looking for. I do enjoy me some medieval choir, don't know what it's called because I'm no music scholar but it's good.

Enjoy your parody band.

>does /metal/ mike my cover art for a fictionnal band?
cover looks cool

band logo is ok

Could the logo still work if it is smaller?

The place where they play Death Fortress music

In college I was on the student entertainment committee or whatever the hell it was called and decided I would use my "weight" to get my old band to play with AC, Tear It Up, and Dataclast which were all crap I was listening to at the moment. Everyone else except AC couldn't do it, and my band was a stupid 60s garage rock/punk band, so the fact that we'd be opening for something like AC was irresitible and I got like $500 from the student gov't to be stupid with it.

I was waiting around in my campus apt nervously for them to show up for most of the afternoon, until I heard a loud car horn blaring from the parking lot and knew it was them. I walked out to see two cars, one had a bunch of complete scumbags stepping out of it, cans of Budweiser literally rolling out of the doors as they emerged. They looked like utter pieces of shit. I introduced myself and asked where Seth was. They pointed to one of the cars where he was still sitting in the passenger seat, pounding a bottle of vodka.

We went back to my apartment where my roommate had tried to impress them by having the Haunted cd blasting. Seth immediately told me to "turn this faggot shit off" and handed me his own cd to put on, which had a flaming swastika on the cover and was an album by esteemed Tom Waits soundalikes Affirmative Apartheid.

I told them that I'd bought several cases of beer to entertain them, which they dug into happily. Their group was:
* Seth Putnam
* Josh Martin the guitarist
* one of the drummer guys
* Roadie #1, "Lenny", who was about 5'2 and had a half-arm. Not like he was missing part of it, but it was a birth defect arm that was only about a foot long. On the birth defect arm he had a Dungeons & Dragons tattoo.
* Roadie #2, "Chris", who stood about 6'5 and had a ponytail that made him look like the guy from Game of Thrones.

exhentai.org/g/443679/65a7ca009c/

Seth kept making tons of "Hey I heard this school has tons of niggers and dykes" type comments to me, but when he saw that wasn't really going to impress/alarm/whatever me, they all sort of "calmed down" a bit and just focused on getting drunk. Around 6:55 they freaked out that the Simpsons was coming on and all sat down to watch.

During the Simpsons episode, Seth turned to Chris and said "Hey Chris, can you put my beer down for me? I'm too fat."

They started getting more drunk and kept demanding I find them "drugs". I told them I didn't really do drugs and gave them some weed, but they weren't satisfied. My Haunted-fan straightedge roommate was freaking out, worrying they'd trash the place if they didn't get drugs, so he ran out to "get drugs". A few minutes later, he came back with a tube of uncooked ketamine and told me to give it to them. I incredulously asked where the fuck he got it from, but he was all "Don't worry! Just give it to them before they go crazy!". So I gave Seth the ketamine. He asked what it was, and I said "Ketamine". He then, without hesitation, unscrewed the tube and began pouring it into his mouth. Like, gobs and gobs of it. Martin was all "Don't bogart that shit!" and took a bunch into his own mouth. They kept drinking until I told them we should really get over to the venue (an on-campus site) to start getting ready for the show.

I get in a car with Martin driving. Seth tells me about how GG Allin once asked them to be his backing band, and we bonded over both owning Johnny Rebel records. Then out of nowhere he grabbed the steering wheel and whipped it to the right, sending us off the road and careening across the grass. Martin got back onto the road and dismissed it with "Stop being a jerk!" as Seth apparently did "wacky" stuff like that all the time.

nu-male and hipster are the same thing

...

We get to the venue and start setting things up, and my bandmates are all deciding to play a three song set and get the fuck off campus before there's a riot. As I'm helping them set up, Seth realizes the beer is still in my apartment. Chris and I decide to walk back to get it. We do so, and away from the rest of the band I learn that Chris would like to study audio engineering and had considered SUNY Purchase at some point. I ask him if AC really gets into a lot of trouble at shows, and if they really need him. "Oh, absolutely, all the time. And if its too much, I always have this." He pulls up his pantleg to reveal a gun in his boot.

As we continue back, we pass by an apartment with the blinds drawn, inside are a bunch of students having a Passover seder. "Hey! Let's cut holes in some sheets and run in there!" gleefully remarks Chris. I advise him we should probably get to the show instead.

We get to the venue, and Seth (who is wearing sweatpants) is passed out face-down in front of the stage, snoring. My band sets up and goes on, and its completely uncomfortable as about 200 people not from campus are standing far, far in the back of the room not giving a shit about our shitty music. We end the set and Seth gets up, grabs the mic, and says "Let's hear it for Syd Barrett." Then he pulls me aside and says "Is there anything I can't do?" I tell him just to not lay a finger on me or my little brother, but otherwise to have a blast.

Seth is too fucked up to stand, and is probably still tired from his nap, so he elects to sit on the front of the stage in his sweatpants. He declares that he's "a bit parched" and asks my brother to bring him some Sprite. The set is delayed 10 minutes while my brother finds a vending machine and brings the soda back.

>wtf I hate Death now
>fast forward to today
>see Death is apparently the classic band
>refuse to listen to it for a long time
>finally give up and give in

WTF I love Death now

They launch into 2 hours of cruelty, blastbeats, racism, misogyny, etc. It was one of the funniest things I'd ever witnessed live. Seth kept going on and on about how "we" should not have to put up with movies like Save The Last Dance being made. He brought up Save The Last Dance about 15 times. He pointed at a girl in the front in an army jacket and said "People like you and me didn't fight in 'Nam just so we could raise kids in a world where Chinese people drive."

The real fun started when Seth noticed two Nazi skinheads hanging out. Seth pointed at them and said "This one goes out to wigger faggots like you two, two years ago you were hanging out in your bedroom listening to 311." They then played 311 Sucks. After the song, one of the skinheads said "Fuck you". Seth dropped the microphone and tried to grab a table to throw at the guy. This guy was also like 6'6. People held onto the table so he couldn't throw it. Seth picked the mic back up and told the skinheads again that they were "pussy race-traitor wigger faggots" and then tossed the mic stand in one of their faces. The big guy went to kick Seth's ass, but then Chris stood in front of him with his arms folded, smiling, just shaking his head "No".

The set continued, eventually they ran out of songs and decided to do some Picnic Of Love tracks, with Seth just holding the microphone up to his stomach. He started making fun of an Asian woman in the crowd. A kid from the Student Gov't ran up to me and said "Tell them to stop! This ends now! Over!" I said "Actually, you can tell them to stop" and we looked at the stage to see Seth goosestepping and seig-heiling. The kid called me a dick and ran off.

Hipsters hate mainstream, popular music. You call people who listen to overrated/popular albums "nu-males."

Two minutes later, the fire alarm went off, which I'm convinced the Student Gov't kid had pulled. Chris calmly walked over to the fire alarm, yanked it out of the wall, and spiked it like a football. Regardless the lights went on and campus safety showed up. I was already in trouble, and AC wanted to avoid getting arrested, so I walked Seth back to his car so that at least he wouldn't be arrested for extremely clear public intoxication, among other things. On the walk over, he kept alternating between "You really are a faggot for booking us" and "You know this is all a joke, right?" At one point he said "You're Jewish, right?" and turned my wrist over to see if I had any tattoos. I walked him to the car and thanked him for playing a wonderful evening. I then ran back to my apartment because I saw cops everywhere, and skinheads roaming around.

Back at my apartment, I had two friends visiting from Long Island, and had to give them a ride back to the train station in White Plains. They gathered their things, we laughed about how ridiculous the day had been, and took off. Returning to campus with my friend, we saw both of AC's cars crashed into each other, surrounded by cop cars. We ducked our heads down and headed back to my apartment, not wanting anything to do with whatever drunk driving insanity had occurred.

A week later, I emailed Josh to thank him for the show, make sure their check arrived, and let him know that "I'd heard they'd gotten into a fender bender after the show" and if everything was ok. He responded "Everything was great! We were fucking around on the drive out and smashed into each other. The cops came and we just told them that we were rushing off campus because skinheads were chasing us. They fixed our car and escorted us to the Hutchinson River Parkway and we made it back to Boston without a scratch! Thanks!"

Like Dragonforce, this is gay. It is puzzling how this band gets called "death metal that is melodic" as opposed to melodeath. From the cheesy melodies to superficial thrashiness, this resembles melodeath more closely than real death metal. At least, Arghoslent does seem to actually emphasize the melodic construction as opposed to rhythmic resolution, but that's hardly a compliment when the melodies are fucking gay. I know it's cliched to call things "fucking cheesy gay crap," but it really applies in this case. This may not exactly be melodeath, but at any rate it is not real death metal. If you haven't listened to this yet, you will have no idea about just how upbeat this is. Even garbage like "Slaughter of the Soul" doesn't come close to being this upbeat. Think of Arch Enemy's "Silverwing" and its childish lead melody in the chorus, and you have reasonable picture about the degree of homosexuality that is at work here. The style, though, is quite different. These melodies sound very Chinese. Now, I have nothing against Chinese classical music, but there are two reasons this is a problem: a) they are played in a gay fashion and b) this is a metal album played with electric guitars. I somehow doubt that they intended the riffs to sound Chinese, but some of the riffs sound like they were lifted up straight from the worst moment of a fifth-rate Chinese opera, without any thought about how to adjust them so that they will fit into a metal context. It sounds comical, in a bad way.

Of course, harsh vocals are a disadvantage in having sing-along choruses, but Arghoslent makes it up with the riffs. This is watered-down music for the crowd. I already hear somebody shouting that this band can't possibly have commercial appeal with its controversial lyrics. Whatever. The possibility of shock tactic aside, that's what the music sounds like, in the end. This is "death metal" for fans of Dragonforce. Like Dragonfoce, this fucking sucks.

I didn't want to review this again. I just wanted to lock it away forever in the vaults of time as a Mistake on my part, a tragically misguided opinion that I later found to be wrong. But so many people insisted that I go back and change my old review, which I left up merely to show what happens when one prematurely reviews an album, that I just had to give in. So many people were apparently so confused at the discrepancy between my ratings for this album and for Arghoslent's next pile of dog droppings, Hornets of the Pogrom, that I am forced to pander to the masses and, well, review Incorrigible Bigotry again. And yup, it's just as boring as I thought it was the last time I heard it! Excited? I bet you are.

Arghoslent is basically a really boring band at heart. Their music has no imagination, is short enough to be quickly forgotten and the only thing it really has going for it, is the riffs. Just riffs. Distilled of any songwriting power, any kind of emotional appeal, anything that separates us from machines making music...just riffs. That might sound good at first...wait, no it doesn't, are you fucking kidding me? I have never been quite this apathetic about music. It is technically all there, but where's the engaging factor that's supposed to draw me in? This music has no fire to it. It is a huge cobble of clickety-click riffing and dry melodies that sound as if they were produced by a machine. It is literally the best possible way I can think of to describe to someone the difference between inspired music and music that was so obviously just made to get a quick album out of the way so the band could go back to polishing their Klan hoods, or maybe throwing darts at pictures of Morgan Freeman and Malcolm X, or whatever it is this supposedly 'racist' band does in their free time.

is this Empyreal? I remember thinking that guy was a giant faggot.

>differentiating between faggots
what's more gay? Being a faggot, or being an expert on all the intricate, minor differences of all the brands of faggot?

Yeah, it's him.

this. people think all metalcore is shit exactly because of bands like that.

Hey, does anyone want to go to the architects concert in Sydney with me? We dont have to hold hands, but we can if you want to...

I never called anyone a faggot, I'm not a 12 year old who plays Call of Duty. Sorry for the confusion.
