i really get the idea that you want to like metal but it is too steeped in or tolerant of nazi ideology so like yes i agree that sucks really hard
the closest i come is mayhem who i love so much but recent discussions on what i think was the de mysteriis thread made me rethink about how much time i listen to a band with a dude like hellhammer in it iykwim. this was btw not a hostile discussion at all

yeah that was last year, it was a worthwhile discussion.

I am aware of prior discussions. I remember the previous controversy. there is a reason I am pushing this here and not on some metal forum. I know people know this is not ok. this is not some kind of fun game for me, I don’t get off on being a killjoy. I want to like metal. this is why I don’t

because occasionally people talk about music i like, or recommend music i might like. same reason anyone else is here i assume

*nothing* i have ever posted has been as harsh as the kind of stuff that was standard here 10-15 years ago for what it’s worth (nothing ofc)

Fiww, everything you've raised is clearly worthy of discussion but you've arrived like someone carrying the torch of enlightenment and in my experience this thread is full of thoughtful people that have clearly already spent a good deal of time debating just these issues and deserve more respect.

what would have been a better way to raise this? because other than ignoring it i can’t think of anything that wouldn’t have provoked the same kind of reaction, especially because of but also regardless of whatever reputation i have by now on here

maybe a poster people actually like saying hey people this is a bit dodgy isn’t it could have got somewhere but i didn’t see it happening

Nah, of course it's fine to ask - in lots of ways it seems so clear and obvious. Idk, don't present it as an aggressive fait accompli I guess.

it'll never be the best Darkthrone album but the new one's pretty good. really liked the past three in point of fact, the ancient doomy vibe really works.

Feel like "The Sea Beneath The Seas..." is meant to sound like Manilla Road (excepting the vocals)

"The Sea Beneath the Seas of the Sea" reminds me of Iron Maiden's "Remember Tomorrow" a lot.

One man's Manilla Road is another man's Iron Maiden through the lowest fi recording imaginable!
