*doot doot* MIDI TRUMPET Why does this album suck so much ass

what's funny is black metal used midi instruments forever, just look at Summoning. if _that's_ what you have to say against this, you've outed yourself as false

It's metal so it's shit

Yeah, 95% of the posts here are of worse quality. Time to off yourself poseur

>>69005482
why does it suck though

>>69005621
because it ends at one point

Ark Work as a whole is such a bizarre choice considering all that HHH wrote about transcendental black metal and the burst beat, i thought they'd go onwards and upwards from Aesthetica rather than sideways.

i wasn't a huge fan of a lot of the electronic instrumentation on Ark Work - specifically the sounds they chose - but you can see the rhythmic and harmonic consistency.

just a shame that they dropped black metal as a conduit, i thought it was an interesting direction for american black metal to take.

take it with a pinch of salt but i've heard that he took criticisms of his essay being nationalist waaaaayy too personally and dumped the entire aspect out of fear of being racist. which is stupid, but he's not exactly the brightest bulb.

It doesn't.

this guy's on point

It's actually really good and I need to listen to it again, it's been a while. Also, the Wolves in the Throne Room album that came out around the same time was a similar instance of an American Black Metal band moving in a surprising, electronic direction (although more surprising and electronic in that instance).

midi trumpets on Kel Valhaal are my favourite thing on this album

>>69005482
even a broken clock's right twice a day

liturgy fans need to be round up and gassed

why would using a midi trumpet be a bad thing

>>69005567
I don't understand how people can call this Black Metal.

I nut every time.

They don't. People who don't know what Black Metal is call this Black Metal.

it's the same deal as Sigh, they used to be black metal and then just moved on into progressive/experimental rock, but that connection to their roots still comes through so it's black metal by association with previous releases

get a load of this hyperborean faggot

>>69005696
I remember reading an interview about him saying the reaction to Aesthetica (ie large communities calling him a pretentious faggot) hurt him pretty deeply and is part of what made him not really want to do black metal anymore.
