Heavy metal gets smart

--- Quote from: Borondir ---Borknagar IS art metal though. So they didn't get mentioned in the article, what's your point.

They're better than all the bands in the article, have been around for longer, and are far more obscure.

Basically.



--- Quote from: Borondir ---On the discovering more thing, the vast majority of kids in general who listen to metal only listen to a couple of surface semi-popular bands and then pretend to grow up once they hit college. So indie kids finding out about a few metal bands from a different starting point isn't really different than how most"metalheads" listen to metal.

There is a tacit difference between a metalhead and someone who listens to metal. I call it 'The rushing feeling of euphoric wellbeing I get when I listen to 'All Guns Blazing' by Judas Priest'.

If you see what I mean.

La Creme:
There has always been a smart side of metal. Generally, there tends to be a smart side of any popularized and generally ridiculous trend in art or music. It's just that the smart side is also usually the side you never hear about.


Also, Crotchduster are TOTALLY art. The art of making disgusting funnies.

Borondir:
I'd like to think I understand what it means to really be a metalhead. Its that indescribable euphoric feeling, when you get that uncontrollable urge to headbang madly.

But fact is, the vast majority of people who listen to metal aren't metalheads.

Borknagar sort of came out of black metal scene, which whatever you want to say, doesn't give them points in artsy circles. I'm not saying that's good or bad, its just the way it is.

Trollstormur:
fraz tab aloobie,

that's all I have to say about art metal.
