Why isn't egoist black metal a thing?
Why isn't egoist black metal a thing?
Owen Morris
Chase Ward
Because politically the black metal scene tends to be either fascists (NSBM) or nihilists (DSBM)
And tbh nihilistic black metal > hypothetical egoist black metal
Ethan Flores
I guess you could count the Red/Anarchist Black Metal scene, but I personally think they have their roots more in crust and punk music and are just kind of musical tourists.
Jonathan Edwards
this is good leftist black metal fams
Jaxson Howard
And this album isn't one of them. That bluegrass shit was hambone as fuck and out of place.
Jordan Hernandez
RABM has too little influence to even be relevant IMO. I can only name a handful of bands.
That being said Panopticon is pretty great.
Leo Ramirez
fuck off reactionary
Nolan Mitchell
I don't like the banjo in my black metal. Plus, Cascadian shit is lame as fuck. I want something that sounds like this:

With the aesthetics of nihilistic early Amebix or something.
Daniel Rogers
It's more of the Cascadian Hipster Atmospheric Black Metal for Little Girls
Cameron Adams
That's the problem with that scene, I think, and why those ideas haven't made in headway in the larger black metal scene, largely because the people making that music are outsiders to the genre and largely rely on anarcho-punk aesthetics.
Jose Collins
Iskra?
Cooper Walker
Ehh, too far into the crust punk feel for me. I think early Amebix kinda transcends that sort of thing.
I also have a hard-on for Orthodox black metal aesthetics, so I'd love some egoist stuff in that.
Zachary Brown
Because metal is for edgy teens
At least punk was self-consciouss
Eli Brown
wow rude
Jaxon Kelly
DSBM is avant-garde art you fucking pleb
Andrew Price
You think metal isn't self-conscious?
Just look at goofy slam bands.
DSBM is largely shit, with a few exceptions.
Grayson Lopez
You are largely shit. Good choice though.
Ryan Young
Christ's Wounds Are NOTHING Compared To Mine!!
Henry Edwards
Xashtur is too try hard for me tbh
Aaron Gonzalez
Why? I know he produced a ton of material and a lot of it is mediocre shit, but there's some gems there. I'd definitely take like mid-2000's era black metal than the shitshow that is American black metal nowadays.
Overall, though, I still prefer his partner in crime.
Connor Wood
You niggas aren't even on the same plane of reality as my avant-garde taste in DSBM: youtube.com
Angel Lewis
I'm probably just a faggot
Here's some anarchist DSBM

Camden Wood
We're all faggots here, friendo.
Anyways, will bookmark for later.
Striborg is boring.
Nathaniel Edwards
You're boring
Jack Martin
Lurker of Chalice blows most of that tepid DSBM shit about of the water.
youtube.com
I bet you like Happy Days too.
Hudson Butler
Not bad, but I wouldn't say it blows out the good DSBM stuff. It's just, different.
lolno
Leo Fisher
Probably because it's basically dark ambient and Wrest has a better feel for ambient shit than most DSBM bands do.
