09.02.24 | 'Can't believe I wrote this band off for 12 years the fuck was i thinking'
I'm pretty shocked to learn this about you too. Was there a reason for it? Something about them turn you off? |
evilford
09.02.24 | Their imagery didn't impress me and they sounded generic
But the more I've listened to dm, I've come to appreciate the ability to make great music and write great riffs for as long as they have. I didn't jam them at all for probably 7-9 years? But have just recently come to appreciate how good their stuff is and it's pretty respectable that they've been making it for as long as they have |
Hawks
09.02.24 | Ok fuck 1 is amazing. |
Hyperion1001
09.02.24 | from about 2009 to 2015 the internet metal community was infested with the metal archives brainrot of “if a band has more than 3 demos and more than 15 people know about it, it sucks ass”. As a result a lot of popular workhorse metal bands got relegated to “sell out poser metal” and cannibal fell victim to that.
Luckily most of us grew up and realized that only riffs matter and began to give those bands the flowers they rightly deserve. |
Hawks
09.02.24 | Absolutely correct. I was never of that mindset lol. I've been repping bands like CC, Cradle and Dimmu for going on 17 years lmao. |
Hyperion1001
09.02.24 | im not saying that ford was one of those guys, but I also fell victim to that stigma and just kind of wrote bands like cannibal off for way too long without giving them a real critical appraisal. |
Hawks
09.02.24 | Bro there was sooooo many people around here like that lol. Punk ass Rasputin and equally punk ass Dryden come to mind. |
NexCeleris
09.02.24 | Countered by cool people like Combustion and Kill, thankfully.
List fucks. 1 is indeed excellent. |
Hawks
09.02.24 | I miss those guys. |
evilford
09.02.24 | Yeah hype is absolutely correct. The prevailing thought of the "elite metal community" really kept some people (including me) closed-minded for a long time, as far as being open to stuff that was actually really good that they didn't want to give props to for whatever reason.
Without naming names there were a number of those personalities present on this site for a while. While some of them did have great taste in obscure selections of dm, that mindset closed a lot of doors that some of us had to do real mental work, and "dewiring" if you will, to open those doors back up. A couple of bands that fell victim to that phenomenon in my mind were CC and Defeated Sanity. And tbh, brutal dm as a whole and even technical dm mostly as a whole. Since opening my mind to the possibility of finding merit in these things I have really started to enjoy cannibal corpse's work. And Defeated Sanity has been a pick for one of my fav dm bands for 5 or so years now. Incredible musicians that just make really compelling music.
Like hype said, luckily a lot of us sooner or later became aware of the pitfalls of that elitism and were able to realize the greatness in other areas of metal we had previously discounted. It's been an absolute win personally. |

09.02.24 | I’ve never had a problem with CC, I’ve just never found their music that interesting but not bad my any means. I appreciate their 90s output the most |
budgie

09.02.24 | "the internet metal community was infested with the metal archives brainrot of “if a band has more than 3 demos and more than 15 people know about it, it sucks ass”."

@ bmelt yeah I mean it's obviously possible for someone to actually have given them a fair shake and not dig them. We were just speaking to the elitist internet group think of the time |
Ryus

Egarran
09.03.24 | I do indeed not got the rocknroll spirit. At 14 I invited greater spirits to destroy it and consume it, it was a very liberating experience.
1 is fire. I sense Mercyful Fate in a Morbid Angel style with a delectable Peruvian twist. |
evilford
