"The music isn't good because the musicians aren't trying to make good music. High quality music criticism right here."



Literally wrote my reasoning for that conclusion in the same sentence, read again. High quality comment right here.

ok bois, I didn't know this band started as a meme now everything is clearer



Did you always have the idea of incorporating these spirituals? Where did that come from?

Actually, that was the first idea and I just kind of sucked it up for a long time until I got there. You know 4Chan, that weird website? I have another project called Birdmask and I post anonymously [on the music board] to get feedback because they’re brutally honest and don’t give a shit about you. I used to make these threads where I would ask people for musical genres; one would post “swing”, and the other would post “hardcore gabber techno” and I’d fuse the two and make a song of it in 30 minutes. One day, someone said “nigger music” and another said “black metal.” I didn’t make the song then, but it stuck with me, and I thought it was an interesting idea.



Sorry, just to make sure I have it down correctly, what were the two genres originally requested? I think I'm mishearing something.

No, that’s right, they said nigger music. It was black metal and nigger music.



Did that bum you out at all?

No, that’s just 4Chan.

they strike me as very talented musicians, but it just sounds pretty awful. I guess this goes to show that 4chan truly is a shit place for sourcing inspiration *gasp*

Imagine Dragons comparison was the best (whoever said that, you cracked me up)! I agree; so contrived.

Someone irl told me this was basically just Imagine Dragons but with bloos and sole and I was floored because he's totally right.



Also, borderline all the black metal parts of this are throwaway.

I don’t understand how/why some people gave this a high rating just because it’s unique. It’s also an absolute mess lol.

I gave it a good rating because it's enjoyable for me - like a nice pop album. I never saw this really as a BM album, because the BM parts are way too cheesy and happy for BM. It's mindless fun and it's clear they never took it too seriously (parts like "Blut für den neuen Gott" etc). I don't get why so many people seem to have so specific expectations for this specific 4chan album just to be disappointed when it's not dark or professional enough
