Stoner is the worst sub genre of metal, edging out over power very slightly. It’s all just so fucking terrible with their shitty sabbath knockoff songs and neck beards and lame weed aesthetic. Really a garbage subgenre.

Second and third worst are power and thrash.

I did, and it's true. Thank you!

Whats so wrong with "pizza thrash" ?

Pizza thrash is a very brutal tourist filtration system, that's why they start seething

Thought Diocletian did

They can't riff

They're too often just trying to ape off what previous bands did successfully and often better. Not all new thrash bands are bad like Power Trip, Vektor, and Havok

I want the Black Metal that would have happened without all the autistic arson and murder and Kerrang coverage. I love Burzum and Darkthrone as much as anyone, but imagine a world in which we didn't drown in their shitty clones for 15 fucking years, a world in which bands like Beherit, Von, Samael and hell, even De Mysteriis made the impact they should have made given the quality of their music. Can something like that still be hoped for? Can Black Metal move beyond the swamp it's been (mostly) stuck in since the mid-90s?

>Power Trip, Vektor, and Havok

the only good modern thrash bands I can think of are Nekrofilth and Evil Army

Top 3 black metal of 2019?

If you like riffs start with Inquisition's Ominous Doctrines, if you like ambient then start with Burzum. Gorgoroth's Under the Sign of Hell is totally recommended because of the fantastic guitar work and if you like an epic feeling and less shittastic production values go for Immortal's At the Heart of winter.

The Bleeding.

They're all garbage.

nah it was definitely a flowchart. it had emperor, burzum and dissection on it, maybe 15 albums total. it implied storm of the lights bane was shit.

My ranking would be (without diverting into insanely picky subgenres like folk and symphonic etc):

Black
Death
Doom
Grind
Sludge
Traditional
Speed
Thrash
Power
Stoner

Numetal/mallcore, industrial and groove all excluded and chastised.

Should be:
Death
Black
Thrash
Trad
Speed
Doom
Sludge
Power
Grind
Stoner

Darkthrone

listen to NSBM

The guitar wankfest and god awful overproduced death metal competes heavily with the pretentious and boring post metal hipsters.in black metal for worst niche however i agree its either one or the other as the forefront of metal. My vote goes for black > death because i think they reach higher heights in sheer musicality

Trad
Thrash
Black
Death
Doom
Power
Hair
Nu

Sludge, Stoner, Industrial and Grind are all awful and speed and grove aren't real genres

anything that isn’t stoner rock is generally horrible

DWTD can be generic but The Shape has some good stuff. Not incredible, but what youre looking for is called synthwave. DWTD is good for easing people into the sound. After youre done with Trilogy listen to Beware The Beast. Carpenter is just awesome. Pertubator has some okay stuff but not my favourite.

yo bois, i'm not into meal myself, so i'm genuinely curious:
why do so many people make, 'meal cover of '?
is it just a lifestyle choice or smth?

They think it is funny.

so is meal like an ironic thing?

I have no idea, maybe because normies think lazily painting a layer of extremity on easy listening songs is funny.
Here, have a Brujeria cover
youtube.com/watch?v=7twl-ZAFKUw

the "epic lulz" metal covers are always made by touristy bands or soilet youtubers (for example Children of Bodom covering Britney Spears and so on)

when a "serious" band covers a non-metal song it's usually done tastefully and is actually a song that can be transferred into metal naturally without sounding like a joke

The basis of humor is the element of surprise. Meal is supposed to be hardcore so juxtaposing it with something soft and accessible creates a feeling of dissonance that is perceived as humorous.

Because it's fun.

Can you give some examples of actually good covers please?

Different way to listen to it I guess?
It wouldn't bother me if they weren't so god awful. Hearing a metal version of Shape Of You made me suicidal.

That twitter thread linked in the Diocletian entry is hilarious. The dude says it's safe to assume that all western war metal is composed of scumbags but bands like Tetragrammacide and Genocide Shrines are probably ok because they're brown. How fucking patronizing can you be? Like extend the courtesy to be a scumbag to brown people too. They've got just as much agency as the white man.

Oh I gotchu senpai
youtube.com/watch?v=EpqV54p70E8

i mean i guess my real question was, why is it so common in meal.
like it happens with other genres once in awhile, but its like a meal staple.
what is it about meal that makes someone go 'yeah, i gotta take this nsync/justin beiber/britney spears/beethoven song n add some meal'

Because it is extreme. I explained this already. It wouldn't be as funny to make a blues cover of Britney Spears because blues is not extreme.

Bölzer is neofolk, right?

>beethoven
Most metal is "cover of a Beethoven song" completely unironically.

>melodeath su-

Attached: the morning never came.jpg (224x224, 8K)

Is that James Mason? I love neofolk too but most Metal with Neofolk influences ends up being stuff like Agalloch, at least as far as I know. Hopefully someone can correct me with a cool counterexample.

i mean where's all my industrial techno britney spears remixes.

Again, I'd assume it's because metal is the most extreme genre that people know of, and therefore the one they pick when trying to cover a song in the most extreme manner possible. Ironically, the subgenres chosen to cover in are often the more accessible ones. I wonder what a power electronics cover of a pop song would sound like - probably just regular PE.
