Black metal sucks

We love hip-hop and deathcore here.
Everything but black metal sucks

>>123187584The only form of tourism is power chord spam sloppa and it is hated here.>>123187629Nah it is still good, just not nearly as perfect as Kultur.
Power chords are /metal/
The existence of power chord sloppa is bad enough, but why parade it around and claim it's good?Why post some generic thrash instead of something actually worthwhile? Because you refuse to listen to something better, even slightly better like Nimbifer, let alone Taake. You, who parades power chord sloppa like embarrassing melanin enriched individual, you are the tourist. You listen to what was given from the very beginning(your entry-level Black Shartbath, Judaic Penis or whatever) and stick to that same formula, power chord repeat ad infinitum. You are filtered by any other interval, chord or harmonic structure because you are eternal baldcucking tourist.
>>123187691CORRECT. Power chord spam is judaic and is not welcome here.>>123187686Incorrect.

there is simply TOO MUCH metal music in the world. i will never even physically have the time to listen to 75% of it, so why does it even exist?

Brack peepo wouldn't be "excluded" from metal is there was actually a substantial number of them legitimately interested in the genre.

Which one of you was this?
>>123197577kek. He's a tripfag without a trip, don't give him any attention
>>123197577>stronghold is le bad albumNot his words, but words of Silenius and Protector. I mean it's ok if you prefer simplicity like power chords in your music, but Stronghold is the Simpleton out of all Summoning discography. As quoted by the creators themselves:>>The most commercial album of SUMMONING seeing it from the sound and songwriting. I think it’s simpler and less polyphonic than the others. It has a rather clear sound. A lot of the older black metal fans did not like this album at all, but on the other side we got a whole new younger generation which started to explore SUMMONING with this album. We also started to use palm mute riff in contrary to all albums before.It's ok to like/prefer easy listening Disneycore, that's why you listen Caladan Brood. Just don't mention that band in this general or shill it to unsuspecting music enjoyers here.
kek
>>123197626commercial does not equal badI like all of summoning's albums because they all bring something different to the table even if they have a consistent sound (not talking about lugburz for obvious reasons)sometimes simplicity adds to the quality of an album instead of subtracting, I like that there are simpler options in summoning's discography alongside the more complex ones in terms of songwriting, polyphonia was great in old morning's dawn or let mortal heroes sing your fame for example but songs such as the rotting horse on the deadly ground or the glory dissapears incorporate better some black metal elements because of said simplicity
Caladan Brood is Summoning but actually good.
Any thoughts on the band Crucifier?Death/black/doom, rolled into one.Shared members with Grand Belial's Key.
>>123197421Funny you keep posting that Caladan Brood albumIt's like neutered Summoning: all the commercial, easy listening and non-Dungeon synthy aspects of Summoning mixed with Peter Jackson LOTR soundtrack type of music and Hollywood choirs. The Redditor listens this and thinks: "It's Epic. Just like Skyrim. And those bearded warriors. I can dig this"Summoning never aimed for this sound, even though they gravitated accidentally towards this with Stronghold and Let Mortal Heroes Sing your Fame- But they got back to their black metal roots by the time of Oath Bound (that Reddit hates for it's non-listener friendly elements). It's no wonder Caladan Brood is North American band, many copycat bands in America take the worst aspects of their European idols/influencing bands and try to make a commercial offering out of itIt honestly is one of the worst albums I have ever listened - even something laughable like Eldamar is closer to the true feeling of Summoning
Summoning's - Stronghold, as quoted by Silenius and Protector, the creators of that album, note that:>The most commercial album of SUMMONING seeing it from the sound and songwriting. I think it’s simpler and less polyphonic than the others. It has a rather clear sound. A lot of the older black metal fans did not like this album at all, but on the other side we got a whole new younger generation which started to explore SUMMONING with this album. We also started to use palm mute riff in contrary to all albums before.Even the creators admit that it's less complex, less polyphonic, the least black metallish, cleaner sounding and the most commercial album of Summoning. No wonder many people who praise Caladan Brood also are of the same taste and audience who consider Stronghold Summoning's "Peak Album", while objectively Stronghold is perhaps their worst offering.This is real Summoning:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9ByvmHVIw0 [Open]What I hate about Stronghold is that when you never listened it properly back in the day, you kinda liked it and it was kinda mid, mid+ even.But then when you really start to listen it closely you notice all the weird shortcomings it has - repetition, simplistic and less polyphonic melodies, production problems etc. and way too lengthy songs - you notice it's actually something like mid- or low+ even and you can never go back to a time when it was kinda solid album. And it only gets worse every spin even if you listen it only like twice a year
>>123197583LMfao
>>123197723don't bother
>>123197723Except it's not even simpler by any means. According to the band themselves. In fact it is their most perfect album, the most guitar focused and the way they intended it to be in the first place. It is the realest Summoning, the style they invented perfected in every regard.>So for Stronghold I put all my inspirations in the guitar tunes and didn't add any additional keyboard tunes to the keyboard tunes of Silenius. I spent much more time in finding the right guitar riff than ever before, so that the guitar lines often became the lead instrument for the first time. That's why this album became so guitar orientated.>The recording of "Stronghold" took a lot of time (about a month), because I wanted to get sure, that the CD will sound 100% as I want it to sound. After the recording of each song it was necessary wait some day to digest the sound of the new song (to get a distance to it), and then listen to the mix again. Often I had to make some corrections and again had to wait some days to listen if the songs is now perfect.And you couldn't name a Summoning song with songwriter better than of A Distant Flame Before the Sun or The Rotting Horse on the Deadly Ground. They worked hardest and perfected it the way it was intended in the first place - by the inventors themselves.

As Protector wrote in a statement on the band’s then-website (which has since fallen into disuse), “I never wanted to associate Summoning with any kind of political topics as our music is not connected to reality at all, but as National Socialism-supporting bands are constantly spreading their political thoughts, I think the time has come to finally stand up and show people that Nazism is not the only ideology of the current metal scene.” It seems to me you are cherrypicking reality and willingly ignoring consciously elements that contradict with your worldview. It's clear you don't want to be on /metal/, but you want some sort of Discord hybrid of /pol/ where you can discuss those 3-4 bands from Norway and some NSBM

>>123197749I never thought stronghold is mid and I have listened to it God knows how many times, those "shortcomings" you listed are your own personal issues with the album. You can criticize as much as you want but don't pretend that your word is objective truth.Btw I love how "real" Summoning is supposed to be just the dungeon synth version of some of their songs with no black metal elements.>>123197877why are you replying to my post? I literally just said that simplicity is not always bad and that summoning has solid discography through and through.Anyway, this discussion about what is supposed "real" and "not real" Summoning is stupid, each of their albums was created with different ideas in mind that belong is the unique sound of the band. Whether someone likes some of their innovations more than other ones is completely up to them. Imo the more straight forward "Stronghold" has a place in their discography as much as the more black metal "Dol Guldur" or any other album (again not mentioning Lugburz, since that album was created when Summoning had a much different identity as a band)
>>123198009I really lost all respect for you when you started to bash their album Oath Bound in one of these threads. I quote your post:>Oath Bound was their first digital attempt(and bad one at that), they did improve eventually!Oath Bound is absolutely detested and hated on Reddit. It represents 'harsh' mix, contains 'digital harshness' and return to black metal influence of Summoning. It's like a cold slap in the face after Stronghold and LMHSYF that had LOTR-Hollywood production ambience and easy listening elements - Oath Bound is one of my favorite Summoning album's because it is like a cool day in midst of hot summer - a reminder of Winter to come and return to Tradition (of Summoning's) roots. One cannot rely on senses of the ears or aesthetics alone, like in the case of Caladan Brood, but one has to actually listen the composition - which is arguably the highest standard of Oath Bound. Extremely underrated record that is hard to approach with baby ears accustomed to Hollywood production and pleasing "analog" sound.I'm not mad at you: just disappointed in you

Some of my favourite Summoning tracks come from that album (Mirdautas Vras and Menegroth really stand out to me). I have no fucking idea what goes on in Reddit 'cause I never visit that site.
