"Well to be fair this band does fit that 'thinking man's metal' tag. I don't remember if it was a guy from Pelican or other Post-Metal band who said it but that tag suits a lot of metal acts because of their changing, slow-mid paced tempo combined with intricate melodies and complex songwritings. I definitely lean towads that kind of pensive state inducing metal"
er what

Yeah but “think out about men metal” is the opposite of cringe

It's not cringy at all for me lol. I heard it in an interview with a famous Post-Metal band, can't remember which, a long time ago and it made total sense to me. Ig it doesn't resound with most people haha

"can you imagine talking with a co-worker or something about music and being like "yeah, I gravitate towards thinking man's metal""
Absolutely yes, I can imagine myself saying that haha, but I'm just weird so I get you all laughing at it.
"And this album is called symbolic for Christ sake

The interview (I wish I could remember where I saw it, but I'd swear it was with Pelican) went along the lines of feeling like metal topics had been historically very shallow: satan (as provocation mostly), sex, booze, dragons, gore, etc... so they were trying to write about deep topics such as philosophy, spirituality, history and complex concepts and they wished more metal bands were taking that way. It clicked with me a lot cause I always loved bands which went deeper with their lyrics.
PS: Yeah, sounds a lot like an Aaron Turner thing lol. Always loved him. I think some other bands borrowed the term too

"Thinking man's metal" maybe sounds kinda cringe but it's definitely an accurate description of what Chuck was going for with the later releases.
He talked about it often in interviews, he wanted to get far away from the lyrics about gore and violence because he thought they were silly and juvenile while also giving the genre a bad rep.
In a few of the later interviews I've seen, he even seemed to not be in love with the name "Death" anymore, for similar reasons.
Anyways, I'll take Chuck waxing poetic any day over the "br00tal" lyrics tons of metal bands crap out.

To be fair, Death could be like some cheesy "argh so brutal" name but it also works for their later themes as well
