    My brother complains about black metal for that reason a lot. Finds a good band, finds out they are nazis, now he’s gotta find stuff that sounds like them that isn’t made by nazis, which is a harder task in black metal than other genres.

    Makes me happy that I’m into doom and sludge, just a bunch of fat guys writing songs about space dragons, wizard fights, how awesome beer and weed are, and kaijus.

        May I suggest BlackBraid as well. I know there’s controversy over whether he’s „really“ Native American but the music kicks ass.

        Every time I listen to Gallowbraid, I am sad that they only have one album. What a shame. Fantastic music.

          They (Gallowbraid) performed at Fortress Festival a couple of weeks ago which I choose to take as an encouraging sign that new stuff might be on the horizon.

          And yeah, any project Margaret’s involved in is an instant ‘yes’ from me.

        I love lists of black metal band names, they’re so creative.

        “Alright, gang, time to name the band. What name would manage to tell people we hate Christianity, hierarchy, and societal concepts, but also tells them that we’re super into The Lord of The Rings and D&D?”
