    Hell, they’ll give you this look even when you say you like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and of all bands - Motorhead.

    People have particular subgenres of taste, but who the hell decided at one point that we should evaluate what is metal and what isn’t?

    I have given bands like Cannibal Corpse, Death and sprinkles of other Death/Black metal bands honest tries. To me it’s all just noise and the vocalist guarantees me that I will not like them because it’s just belching and barking lyrics.

      Foe me it’s the opposite. I absolutely love cannibal corps. I love cannabis corpse even more. I always feel like these bands make tge music tgey really want and not what people want to hear. There is something honest about the music. If you don’t like it you fon’t like it, obviously. Maiden acdc and megadeth is really boring to me. It’s not that it’s bad or i don’t like it, it’s more that i think: i could listen to worm sheppard or job for a cowboy instead. One of my favourite bands is all shall perish, i liked them before ever seeing them live, but when i saw them i truly realised that these are massive music nerds. His vocal range is crazy, because i assumed they had two singers, the bassist and guitarist seem incredibly talented, and i think they could be really successful doing “good music” but that’s what they do and enjoy and i appreciate that a lot.

      Gotta say, IMO this has nothing to do with being a [insert genre] fan at all. It’s just about not being a pompous, pretentious asshole. 😄 Let people like what they like! But I still have my opinions about what level of musicality and interesting aspects there need to be in the music I listen too. Again, the music ->I<- listen to. Other people can definitely listen to bland mainstream garbage if they want to. 😅 Not all mainstream music is garbage of course, some of it is popular because it’s actually good, so not all awesome music is obscure/indie/whatever. 👍

    90s demo tapes hit different though. The crustiness really enhances the overall atmosphere of certain genres.

    Ysigim - Ain Soph Or (1994) is a personal favorite. They did a digital rerelease recently and it’s too clean, I don’t like it.

      I love my unpronounceable black metal bands and OSDM bands.

      I also loved going to the Volbeat /Ghost concert a few years back. Variety is fun.

        Because Ghost is not going crazy with solos, screeching/belching/barking lyrics out, isn’t recording their material in some hollowed out and echoed building somewhere. They also aren’t catering to lyrics about how it’d be a wonderful day to be devouring some flesh and fucking the eye sockets of a skull. But you wouldn’t know that with the vocalist doing said belching/barking/screeching lyrics until you read what the song is about.

        So basically, Ghost is not liked because it’s not catering to metal edgelords.
