@heck

You're not making it into the 4th reich with that attitude

Fr though even though I dont know about any explicit fascist ideologies being present on the last album mikko's sketch past with nazism is literally undeniable

I couldn't bring myself to buy an album of theirs but I'll jam those technical dissonant riffs and ugly utterances for goddamn DAYS

“weird he has no artistic input considering their last album is chock full of thinly veiled fetishization of fascism”

Pretty sure they’ve publicly stated that it’s about how authoritarianism is bad but go off king

"Pretty sure they’ve publicly stated that it’s about how authoritarianism is bad but go off king"

You aren’t wrong. Even if the French members are genuine in their intentions, associating with someone like Aspa isn’t a good look either way.

Never heard any pedo allegations before and can’t seem to find anything about it

Mikko Aspa has a noise side project called Nicole 12 which is entirely themed around pedophilia and has used actual (poorly censored) child pornography images in its album art

Furnaces is literally a parody of fascism, idk what’s hard to understand about that. “We will free you from freedom.” It’s meant to depict authoritarianism in a negative light. I don’t get hating this band’s music for sketchy nazi ties. You can’t be an even slightly objective metal fan and say this is below a 3.5, especially when lyrics are just about God and Satan and their fucked relationship with humanity. Nothing to do with worldly politics.

No one’s fault you can’t read subtext, calling the Furnaces lyrics whistle blowy when they’re anything but. Idk, like Mikko is a complete shitheel and the rest of the guys might be sketch for working with him, but the music is undeniable imo

you realize that:
A. just cause someone says "it's just a joke bro" doesn't mean it is
and
B. even though "we will free you from freedom" etc sounds comically over the top, there are people who are unironically down with that
right?

I’m a political leftist and a racial minority. I get what you’re saying. I’m just saying that I think the lyrics come off as a critique of fascism to me. And either way, the music isn’t a whole ass 1 because of bad politics. Like the riffs are genius and that’s pretty close to a fact to me. Deathspell songs are gold like the sky is blue.



Edit: Of course music is subjective but you know what I’m getting at.
