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.
