Proto/First Wave = Best Wave

BORN DEAD INTO THIS WORLD
TO STARVE AND ROT IN AGONY

do you think tom is glad?

Any buyfags in here? Did you pick up the ITP re-release?

>tfw missed out on Human and now it's being scalped to hell

What's the most mainstream metal shit /metal/ tolerates?
for me, trivium has always done kind kind of right
they had some hick-ups, but I dig their latest stuff
matt is poser as fuck, and corey basically carries the band

The big 4

is it ok to go out dressed like this? (minus the face paint of course)

youtube.com/watch?v=XOibIxl3dLo

i was dressed similarly riding my bmx last friday night and these girls sitting in a car laughed at me and said something about my leather jacket

they were probably vegans, ditch the leather next time and I'm sure you'll be fine

oi meal what's your go-to album for copious weed consumption?

stop caring what 3dpd women think

It shouldn't bother you what other people think.

>matt is poser as fuck
He honestly has brety gud taste for being in a somewhat mainstream metal band

Elder- Dead Roots Stirring

Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath and Motorhead are always good.

nonono I want metal albums, not numale-core

weed is nu-male

You asked a nu-male question you got a nu-male answer. Kill yourself weedcuck

in what world? the fuck?

Imaginary Sonicscape or Värähtelijä

...

worse than glamposting

...

He's not necessarily wrong. First Wave is great stuff and better than atmoshit.

40 watt sun or warning (or neither) and why?

trv-males smoke meth

What first wave black metal bands do you consider to be the top 5?
For me it is
1 Bathory
2. Hell hammer
3. Kreator
4. Tormentor
5. Sodom

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but this guy is making you first-wave fags look like, well, fags

Remember GGUW, that band with the fucked-up choking vocals?
New EP. Guess they have a new vocalist since the original died, but it's still pretty disturbing. Howling and gasping instead of normal screaming.
youtube.com/watch?v=DG6bwDRS7m4&t=406s

1. Bathory
2. Hellhammer
3. Blasphemy
4. Sarcofago
5. Sodom

1. Mercyful Fate
2. Exodus
3. Slayer
4. Mayhem
5. Sarcofago

1. Venom
2. Sodom

this desu, weed is for 15 year olds and neckbearded overweight manchildren redditors.

Their album covers are fucking creppy

The cover looks like one of those BigDog robots from DARPA.

Why is the vast majority of black metal such utter shit? The only appeal it has is the aesthetics Literally only a few first wave and a couple second wave bands are listenable. I cant think of any other genre where everyone one an their mom has a "project" of where they uplaod shit to bandcamp and youtube to make the genre even worse. It also attracts the most tourists of any genre

black metal is the trvest but also the most touristy

only a tourist would think this way

It's a lot of pretentiousness. Very recently it's gotten attraction from hipsters and shit for whatever reason and now we have dumb shit like Ghost Bath and Deafheaven.

It's really only the garbage Burzum that attracts casuals and tourists. Good black metal like emperor actually has melody to it instead of tremolo picking and unintelligible screaming.

Emperor are Dragonforce with shrieked vocals

This. Burzum ruined black metal. Without him we wouldnt have all the shitty one man bands, all the atmoshit, or the retarded bands that do nothing but tremelo pick awful riffs and shriek

The point is that anybody can play blast beats, tremolo pick chords and scream incoherently.

It's very played out and derivative.

Varg did it, and honestly his music wasn't very good, it was just his infamy and the publicity behind it.

Black metal is like the opposite of Power Metal, easily the most pretentious metal genre.

youtube.com/watch?v=YgQRRI9goFg

This rapes anything varg has ever done.

>he garbage Burzum that attracts casuals and tourists
>Good black metal like emperor
You need to leave my general.

Everyone knows that Power Metal is P U R E metal

>it was just his infamy and the publicity behind it.

how to spot a tourist

no but I finally completed my discography of Death buy buying Spiritual Healing.

Death.

I like Human and their shit before is okay, but the post-Human era is garbage and people jerking all over Death is a sore sight for eyes of anyone experienced.

whatever nerd.

This. Power Metal is easily the must unpretentious and purest form of metal.

>jerking off over burzum makes you kult broooo!

How to spot a tryhard trying way too hard to be tr00 kult

>whatever nerd.

their entire discography is really nice to listen to and Chuck was consistently a good musician and wrote some very good riffs.

I like Emperor but I don't know if I'd call them proper black metal.

>the aesthetics
This right here. Black metal isn't about the music, it's about the image. Therefore, the music suffers.

Human is their only stand out. Shit before is just okay osdm and the shit after is overindulgent garbage.

They are black metal.

t. ourists

Is there a bigger hipster in metal?
>forms a death metal band when its trendy
>changes to black metal when that becomes trendy
>switches to crust/trad once that's the new thing
>switches back to bm once its hip again
>constantly shills trad revival on his radio show now that its the biggest metal trend

>implying black metal isn't the most tourist-friendly metal in existence
Shoegaze black metal, Playstation 1 RPG soundtrack black metal, """ambient""" black metal, glitch-wonky black metal, etc.

They're symphonic metal with some black metal elements.

>when that becomes trendy
wrong
>switches back to bm once it's hip again
if this was the case, we'd see the duo do that much sooner.

He's certainly one of the biggest ones. I don't hate Fenriz because he seems like a nice enough guy and at one point helped to create interesting good music, but for the most part he's a walking meme.

they contain tremolo picking, blast beats and shrieking vocals, they're black metal with symphonic elements.

>no power metal anywhere in there
More proof that Power metal is the purest, trvest genre and hipster-repellent

I never implied that. But obviously the most tourist friendly are trad, thrash, power and prog.

Ehhhhh you're probably right.

But he's so adorable!
How could you hate him?

only USPM and early Blind Guardian and Helloween, the rest is trash.

I think Darkthrone is just as overrated as Burzum and Fenriz is a douche.

And I thought Trad metal was a thing like 10 years ago? With White Wizzard and Cauldron and shit like that.

Twilight Force is Symphonic metal you blubbering retard.

Power stands as the truest metal

How about no you fucking poser faggot. Leave the fucking hall.

It's among the least tourist friendly actually. Look at all the nerds who listen to prog and power metal or the dads who listen to muh big four.

Dimmu borgir is symphonic black metal not Emperor you tourist fucks.

Europower is mostly pop garbage posing as metal.

So, no Hammerfall, Lost Horizon, Gamma Ray?

How are power and prog tourist friendly? They're the nerdiest metal genres with the most loyal fanbases. I'm not even a big prog or power guy, but those are genres for loyal autists. Nerds are the opposites of tourists. Tourists are like art hoes, they like black metal for the fashion, and will move on to visit the next hot trend when it appears

what bass does this guy have, i want it
youtube.com/watch?v=U8rAZBEfaPc

the real black metal is repulsive to both nu males and tourists alike

Nope.

>the real black metal is repulsive to both nu males and tourists alike
"Real black metal" is just heavy or thrash metal anyways

Bands like Sabaton, Powerwolf, Dream Theater, Opeth, and Mastodon are some of the most tourist-y shit in the entire metal genre.

They are tourist friendly genres but with many loyal fans.

although it spawned from thrash, it isn't thrash.

All genres have a handful of tourist-friendly bands, cherry-picking exceptions means nothing. I've seen more tourists with Burzum shirts than Opeth shirts.
Real black metal (Slayer, Sodom, Sacrofago, etc) is

They spawned Dream Theater and Sabaton. That's tourist.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR

youtube.com/watch?v=UUahlKjmySk

Because Opeth fans don't look like metalheads, they walk around in polos and sperrys

>Europower is mostly pop garbage posing as metal.
Power is more true than most bastardized subgenres, especially amongst edgelord hall-leavers who think anything without screaming isn't metal.

Power metal band was "tourist friendly" 10-15 years ago when that shit was mainstream. Not anymore.

I recall Prog being very popular with the 7 string playing skinny jean wearing wimps/posers a while back but I don't hear much about it anymore, especially here on Sup Forums where everything is about blackened bands

>I've seen more tourists with Burzum shirts than Opeth shirts.

Because Opeth fans don't wear merch. Same with Dream Theater fans. The most normalfag chad I went to high school with was a fan of both.

Black metal spawned Burzum, Liturgy, and Agalloch.
Ok

>cherry-picking exceptions means nothing
If this is cherry-picking, then you are too. Plus all the bands I listed are significantly more tourist friendly than Burzum.

More people have heard of Sabaton and Dream Theater than they have heard of Burzum, Liturgy or Agalloch.

?
Prog fans are possibly the most readily identifiable music subculture out there
Over or underweight, long greasy hair, autism glasses, generally dress like the guy from the virgin memes.
>don't look like metalheads, they walk around in polos and sperrys
That's blackgaze/posercore fans

Irrelevant, the important thing is the percentage of fans of the total that are tourists. Dream Theater fans may be shit, but they're loyal. If you're willing to admit to being a fan of Dream Theater, you've proven your dedication. On the other hand, 90% of people that call themselves Burzum fans have listened to Filosofem twice and wear a t-shirt.

Real black metal is metal with satanic themes and harsher vocals and often leather and spikes. Black Metal / Black Magic.

Venom coined the term and they were basically a harsher motorhead.

Then a bunch of norwegian kids came along, played very simplistic music and made a fashion statement out of ripping off of bathory, who ripped off Venom's black metal album big time.

Exactly, "black metal" is largely a lie

Also, don't forget all the "Viking metal" bands that just plagiarized Manowar

tourists are much more likely to like the OG black metal bands than the core prog/power stuff like Fates Warning, Helloween, Gamma Ray etc.
for every one tourist who likes Sabaton there are 1000 who like Wittr, Liturgy the list goes on
also nu-males and tourists abhor anything with guitar solos which automatically repels them from power metal

Nobody is a prog fan. It's a phase in every metalheads life when they are teenagers and outgrow after they give up hope of ever getting laid.

You have no idea what you're talking about. There are so many middle-aged men working for Hewlett-Packard that listen to Dream Theater religiously.

>for every one tourist who likes Sabaton there are 1000 who like Wittr, Liturgy the list goes on
Yeah, no. Do you realize the difference in popularity between Sabaton and Liturgy?

Maybe half of Sabaton fans are tourists. 90% of Liturgy fans are tourists.

Even then, the tourists who listen to Sabaton far outnumber the ones who listen to Liturgy. Are you retarded?

the majority of the Sabaton fanbase is autists regardless of how touristy they are
and Liturgy was a bad example, compare the amount of tourists who like any blackgays vs tourists who like Pathfinder, Blind Guardian, any power metal period

One cherry-picked example. Most people only like Liturgy ironically anyways. More people listen to Burzum and Deafheaven than Sabaton.
