There are terrible and fantastic album covers in every genre. I guess that, on average, the "genre" with the "best" album art are contemporary recordings of academic music of the common practice period (1600s-1800s).

How do I become a black metal musician so that I can make some innovative shit and clean up this reputation that my country for some reason has gotten?

It really annoys me since you could never, ever tell, being a norwegian that this scene even fucking exists, but then you go online and you're reminded that, that's what we're known for, for some fucking reason.

How about -and stay with me here, I'm well aware this is a bit of a leftfield kind of idea, but what if you try making black metal music?
>>
>>68361419
>that's what we're known for
That's not true at all. Black metal is intrinsically linked to norway, but not the other way around.

>>68361419
Make dungeon synth. Shit's awesome.

This isn't the magic answer I was looking for. Fuck you.

It actually kinda sounds fun though. I mean the scene's just all dads and idiots, I can't help that my country is small and plebian.

>>68361516
Well I'd still rather it was a different musical genre. Though I completely get it with the landscape here, it's like Iceland with post-rock bands.

Any album art showing the artist attention whoring on the cover is shit tier unless it looks as good as this.

Norway's already been pretty innovative with black metal, lad.

Black metal and death metal are the worst, agreed. It's tacky, like some fat neckbeard who identifies with Satan because he hates his parents and likes death and destruction designed the artwork. It's really just louder and more grown-up emo.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
