    Curious too. Didn’t see an explanation for this one, just his posts about various monitors in the speaker thread.

    He was just being Psalm and trying to flame me. I think I disagreed with him once upon a time.

    That spat reminds me of the old Megadeth Chatroom back in the 90's.

    I admire his passion, and his forthrightness is sometimes refreshing, but personally I feel the ableist and homophobic comments stepped outside of reasonable boundaries. Dude needs to chill a little bit... but the mods know best.

    Strong disagree.

    Most subgenres of metal still lie within pretty strict and conservative aesthetic and material constraints, most of which are self-imposed.

    Guitars, drums, bass, vocals, equal temperament with minor and diminished tonality, metric timescales. Not a whole lot of variation there. Very few boundaries have been pushed.

    Metal doesn't really stand out as particularly progressive in terms of western music history. There's a reason why there's a strong correlation between fans of Baroque music and metal... because it follows similar patterns, at a different speed with different instruments.

    It's easy to get into because it's familiar, not because it's novel.

    Edit: I'm taking this way too seriously. That image is hilarious.

    Send all your weirdest shit, I would love to be proven wrong. I stopped listening to metal in 2012 but maybe it's time to come back with some fresh content.

    @E_Schaaf - I think I was more agreeing/teasing. That artist has been known for fusing black metal, baroque and breakcore, primarily. I was enjoying your description of baroque->metal mainly.

    Cooling jets is good. Sometimes it's difficult to distinguish real aggression against groups versus insane Hunter s Thompson hallucinations and hyperbole but point taken

    Check out metal bands like Sigh (their album Imaginary Sonicscape in particular), Sear Bliss, Code, Gorguts’ album Obscura, Sunn O))), Portal, Impetuous Ritual, Lurker of Chalice, Deathspell Omega, Lugubrum, Stargazer, Septic Flesh, Godflesh, Jesu, Boris, Mitochondrion, Gridlink, etc.

    Lemme know if there’s a particular genre of metal you like, and I can give you some “weird bands.”
