Well, not 23 times, you'll actually fall in some broken glass. But they will stab you.
. . . if you didn't catch that joke, you're not a blackmetaller 
Unless you're trying to find out if they're actually a black metaller. If they don't at least pause awkwardly for a moment when you say you like Dimmu and Cradle, or worse yet if they're enthusiastic about it, they're not black metallers. |
Well the good news is I'm not out to fit nicely into one label. I like a lot of different kinds of metal. To me, people who would frown upon me for liking Dimmu or old Cradle really don't understand what makes music work. Well written music is well written music, regardless of genre.
It makes no sense that it's frowned upon to actually hear the instruments clearly and use decent equipment. Are these bands against playing live too? Do they run filters through the PA system so everything sounds like murky fizzy garbage? I'm sorry, but these bands would sound a lot more grim and blasphemous if you could actually hear what's going on.
If Dimmu Borgir is lame because they sound huge and epic, and not like inside of a tin can, then I guess so be it
