There's not thread for this kind of shit, so I'll just piggy back on this thread.

You also play bass? So do I! Good to see that! Do you play in a band?Love Sleep and Electric Wizard. Sleep was one of the best bands I've ever seen live. Their bass player Al is one of the main reasons I started playing bass.

I play in a band, we just got together so we need to write music. We did cover Asphyx - Deathhammer.Nah, unfortunately no band for me at the moment. Just jamming for fun by myself and with some friends. Drummers are the hardest to come by around here. I'm supposed to be doing vocals in a black metal band but due to people's crazy schedules we haven't got much done yet. How about yourself?
The video is unavailable.I recently got into the new Battlecross album, "Rise to Power". I also wrote a review for it that can be found here if you you're interested.
One track that I totally fell in love with is called "Spoiled" that is just over 3 minutes of mind melting perfection. I love this track!

I found just a video of the song on Heavy Montreal.Well that sucks. Maybe it's blocked in certain areas? Just do a search for Battlecross Spoiled. If you're super interested.
Mate, no... NO!
Seriously, this is fabricated shit. It "sounds" like intense metal, but it's hipster, cash-cow bullshit.
"DeafHeaven"??
Listen to who you want but honestly, that shit is fucked (true aussie takin' to ya mate). DH are imitators.
Listen to how it's truly played...
I don't care for the band, though I've been pondering their use of blacksploitation recently, and I think their (relative) level of success will only have a negative effect on the trends of "heavy" music.
Is it fake black metal? Yes, but it's fake in the sense that the band is just exploiting BM aesthetics to make a different type of music. I don't know if I'd call it "fabricated cash-cow" shit.
It's music for people that listen to bands that are primarily on non-metal labels/scenes. It's for people that haven't/won't delve into the world of true BM. They probably like Converge and Isis and shoegaze and that type of stuff. Stuff that (based on the tastes you've historically shared) you probably see as no different than top 40 or nu-metal.

I'm seeing Vreid with Keep of Kalessin in november.Woods of Desolation are amazing - I like this style of BM. I knew Deafheaven would cause some drama haha. I guess they are not really metal, Kylesa are borderline too. I like all kinds of music. About Deafheaven, do you think they are mostly 'studio magic' then? I have never seen them live so I have no idea.
Unrelated - also been getting into Vreid lately:
They are kind of 'black n' roll' ish
ASID, I respect your opinion, dude, but I will call it cash-cow shit; because that's what they're riding on - an aesthetic, style, "sound", to sell their records. Yes, it is fake. Fuck them.
I'm an elitist, especially when it comes to music, I always have been. So I'm sure you can understand when I say that a band like Deaf Heaven is the most poseuring of bands riding the trend of Black Metal. The problem isn't in the fan, it's the band thinking that what they're doing is acceptable. Having shitheads (sorry Neorebel) appreciate and buy their music only compounds their believe that what they're doing is right. It's not. It's a pathetic smear on a style that actually spits back on the face of imitation.
Black metal IS evil, it IS occult, it IS real. Again that's just how I feel about it and I make no excuses for how I appreciate and believe in it.
