i can't really get behind the pretentious philosophy stuff but taking the music for what it is and how it sounds is undeniable for me. wasn't crazy for the ark work but this was very good

I like plenty of experimental, “avant-garde” music, this band is just not good to me

Hm. No, that doesn’t make sense. There must be another reason. We will figure it out.

could it be for the reasons channels like "hipster black metal" hate them?

I remember getting pretty annoyed at some songwriting decisions. There's a good album in here if you cut out like half of it. AKA Liturgy can be good, but chooses not to be. More avant = more better, obvs

pretentious inane pseudo deep ramblings from a billionaire nepo baby probably contributes to it. also the music is awful.

I do think some of the sounds here are hard to digest, it’s a frequency thing. Also, the concept of totalism as a whole probably isn’t for everyone, even if I personally believe it suits BM to a tee

and the whole philosophy angle + her supposedly privileged background (not researched this) likely rubs people up the wrong way

I can guarantee I started typing my comment before futures finished his. So yeah, there’s clearly an element of resentment beyond the music imo. It wouldn’t be brought up so often otherwise

Anyone who types a “manifesto” is guaranteed to rub lots of people the wrong way. If you sort of don’t like the music or aren’t sure, the pretentious bull shit will certainly nudge you further in the negative direction.

Just so happens that the music in this case rules 😎

As for the album art, I'm always reminded of an entity relational diagram for a database. Interesting choice.

Tbh I'll take whatever this is over the nazi problem in "real" bm like, a concerning number of people are still listening to and hyping Drudkh even though they ranked 4/5 on the nazi scale on that one list I used for reference before it got taken down. At least then my money isn't going to someone who wants me killed

to be clear i wouldn't care if the music was good, like tect said it just adds to the aura of embarrassment. and drudkh aren't nazis lol

They were working with Hate Forest who scored 5/5 on that same scale, I can't cross-reference the write up anymore as RYM took the entire list down and the owner wasn't fighting it, but it was enough to put me off them (anything beyond 2/5 is something I'm not comfortable with on that scale)

There was more iirc but the list doesn't have an archive I can go back and dig for

Wider point is i don't feel comfortable with NSBM/NS adjacent music and digging into BM feels like a minefield when it comes to treading there. Even some of the less sketch acts have their own skeletons like that one that kicked out a band member for coming out as trans. It just makes it a hard archive to sift through to avoid the stuff that's truly vile
