LITURGY is fixing heavy metal, and there's nothing you can do to stop them
Tom:
Black Metal seems to owe something to gothic Romanticism, doesn't it.

You're a better person than me. I laughed at a middle aged lady as she was eagerly exploring a copy of The Fountainhead in Borders.
KvP:
The RSD day thing was a split single with 90's glitch dude Oval. I laughed when I saw it too.

Some more than others. The Cyber Black and Space Black sub-subgenres don't really have anything to do with the gothic or romantic, for example.
David_Dovey:
Except for when I mentioned it specifically to negate it

--- Quote from: Johnny C on 06 Apr 2011, 21:50 ---i mean "look at this american guy from brooklyn who spoke about his music in public at a symposium in academic terms" is basically the gist of it and you can probably guess the top three reasons at least that i'm uncomfortable with that being a problem with a musician

I hope I'm not factoring in nationalism or snobbery about Brooklyn in my judgement of this guy, but I'm suspicious of artists who aren't prepared just to let their art speak for them. Does good art need turgid academic prose to validate it or something? Why does he feel we need to be told what the music is about? Shouldn't the music do that?
