They have some interesting ideas here and there but overall it just doesn't grab my attention that much. It lacks a certain creative spark and freedom music like this needs and ends up sounding rather stiff.

Enslaved is good substitute for band which started to get worse and worse - Opeth.

I don't really like this band. It's all black metal with girly rock guitars, then just girly rock, then more girly black metal. Enough artys GIVE ME BLAST BEATS.

And that is my ridiculous rebuttal to the annoying fappery that this band gets. HOW DARE I.

I don't ugnderstand why people fap over this derivative harsh/clean/harsh stuff but then spit on verse/chorus/verse stuff :-( I mean this band is good but their predictable structures get boring.

It's all black metal with girly rock guitars, then just girly rock, then more girly black metal.

"Girly"?

I don't really get what your point is with posting clips when I was just pointing out how much of a typical asshole metalhead you sound like when you describe a particular sound as 'girly'.

And you post some second-rate bm act from Minneapolis as an example of what you think is good - 'not girly' - in contemporary black metal, hahaha.

Tyrael

Ironically the second link you posted is way girlier (if that's even an insult) because it marks a classic example of a sucky black metal band using crappy production to try and mask their abysmal attempts at songwriting.

check and mate, douchebag

You mean like Burzum?? Songwriting skill can be important, but but in the end if it sounds good, it sounds good.

I don't really get what your point is with posting clips when I was just pointing out how much of a typical asshole metalhead you sound like when you describe a particular sound as 'girly'.

And that was my intent. Thank you for understanding hyperbolism and sarcasm.

you actually think burzum is poorly produced? because it really isn't. filosofem at a stretch, maybe but the others are all clean and don't hide any of varg's songwriting whatsoever.

Nah, you just sounded like an unfunny asshole.
Don't play with literary devices if you can't handle them with an ounce of wit.

if it sounds good, it sounds good.

Our point was that Shaidar Logoth doesn't sound good, so your choice of them as an example of 'non-girly' bm was doubly laughable, but subjectivity and whatnot, eh?

hype's got it right. I own originals of their entire discog on CD but not a single one is above a 3/5.

are we really arguing whether enslaved is 'trve' black metal or not?

are these the same idiots who thought opeth's new album was 'good'?

Crysis

no i think vesper is trying to argue that calling black metal "girly" is a really stupid label to
give, especially when it comes from bigoted metalhead neckbeards (not talking specifically about
anyone, but just in general)

Vesper

I think zaruyache is, but instead of 'trve', he's using 'non-girly'.

I don't even like Enslaved that much, so I'm not trying to defend them out of affection for them.
I'm just telling him he's dumb for describing metal in terms of how 'girly' it is, since it's really not descriptive at all, and his hyperbole falls flat when he wields it with all the grace of a sledgehammer.

But he probably thinks it's less girly that way.
