Deafheaven

lol xp
man that was some fuckin shoegazing black metal, man, i tell you

next thing you know it'll migrate to the past participle and then the real war will begin

shoegoze

When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself, and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts my self almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

people who rallied behind the mobs of trve dudes hurling endless homophobic slurs at liturgy

Stuff I'm Glad I Didn't Even Know About chapter whatever

And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries

these guys refuse even to wear boots, how can you be metal and not wear boots

i don't know if i like this album but one thing for sure:

now i know there is a genre called Blackgaze

oh, tune was space, u might be amused 2 hear that the other day my phone corrected ur band's name to Narnia, just a heads-up

some writers (and just people in gen) who i had respect for were sort of celebrating the trve metal crowd's venomous response to liturgy, linking to "hilarious" pages and pages long comments threads of people making rape jokes/insults about sexuality. wish i hadnt seen that either tbh

xp you say these guys refuse to wear boots?

Am listening to Sunbather all the way through right now. It's kinda boring, which is my main problem with it - I don't gaf about whether it's true metal or not - I find the tunes and the production q somnolent

best track so far has been the keeningly-titled 'please remember' which devolved into a f unexpected noise experiment halfway thru. other than this, dirges

is there a genre called voidgaze? or is that just people staring into the void and not music at all?

my bootless cries. my orange croc'd cries.

xp to imago

is there disagreement about whether or not its true metal really? it seems like everyone agrees its not (maybe they/their PR ppl thought they were re: the other album, but about this album theyve mostly said its a departure from metal stuff iirc?), the people who like it and the people who dont alike

the boots thing does bother me, wtf are these guys wearing, vans?

huarache sandals, hopefully

hahaha oh i just now realized its a reference, i thought you for real saw them decrying boots in an interview or something. i was about to launch a campaign against these dudes

it's clear from their name that they are anti-boots. have you ever seen a picture of them from the ankles down, think abt it

ha lol I umm cannot stand in judgement of bros who wanna perform w/o shoes on tho lol

used to often go barefoot but tbh i now wear very thick soles because i use too many pedals with tiny switches and that shit can hurt

When I played music, I would go barefoot. It was so comfy.

But I also wear Vans slip-ons.

I'm not even kidding.

Sorry if this grosses people out.

I could make such great swells and crescendos.

tevas black like our hearts. two bright white socks like templars burning at the stake

yeah not rly, this is def false metal but some of my favourite music is false metal. the disagreement seems to be whether the false-metalness makes them bad, which I aver it does not - their badness comes from their inability, as i see it, to compose interesting or arresting music

these guys refuse even to wear boots, how can you be metal and not wear boots

never worn shoes or boots in my life. I've worn trainers since I was 11 1/2 and went to secondary school.
(except the boots i wear if its snowing - worn about 3 times in 5 years)

I have short hair too (cut it when I was 23 - I'm 41 now)

I must not be metal. worrashame.

the building midsection of the final track really, really reminds me of a GYBE song. like, really very much so. except GYBE at their best had far more range and far more *hooks*, wd u believe

do you tuck your pants into your tennis shoes y/n xp

AND FUCK RED DOC MARTENS I HATE THOSE MORE THAN ANYTHING

My pants stay under the trousers....

*dramatic pause*

and nothing gets tucked into my socks or trainers

im sorry, but you're indie

btw imago yr pun upthread was magnificent

۩ just went on my favourite IL Xor user list.

roxy i cant be indie i only ever talk about metal here!

i even created a lame sock to do a poll!

I knew it was you!

according to sick mouthy i stomp over threads with big metal boots(lol)

[i was just joshing u]
