COMPUTER MIND is an exciting musical collective that aims to change everybody's perspective on autism with their Progressive Rock/Metal opera “THE ASPIE PROJECT” and give people with a disorder just that little boost of confidence that they can reach everything. This is not just an album, made by just a band. The creator (writer, composer and bassist) of this project, Mike van den Heuvel, has an autism spectrum disorder himself; Asperger’s Syndrome. He has managed to learn himself how to deal with it. His passion for music mainly helped him to deal with his problems. Because of his great developments, and his passionate love for music, he wanted to create an album in which he could show the world how he managed to turn his problems into gifts.

No, I blame them for being obnoxious about having autism and not learning to act like a normal person.

I like Terra, but I think Link was when they hit the epitome of that crushing, tribal sound they've been going for. Their Possessed EP is fucking nuts, too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWAj5xt5ZoE
Politics in music (i.e. art in general) is fine as long as the music (art) comes first, not the politics.
Otherwise, it should be treated as a bumper sticker.
>>69997030
I just wanna know what the fuck happened to Joe's voice after Link. He's been their Lars for a while now.
>>69995076
>We are proud SJWs.
Is this bait? Is it a metalsucks copypasta?
>>69997034
Politics is ALL popular music (->metal) can be because musically there's not much value anyway.
>>69997082
>Is this bait?
Don't ponder on that question too hard.
>>69997034
Agreed. I find it very hard to appreciate art if I know it's made primarily push an agenda.

I like death metal quite a bit,
Just found immortal, any other black metal like them, that aren't the whole edgy Satanism nonsense going on?
>>69997293

He already has, at least for Arctic Thunder. But I do agree.
He's great on Leave No Cross Unturned though. That song is a riot.
So what albums are we looking forward to next year?
Time II doesn't count, jari is a medade-per-album kind of guy
>>69998058
I've always thought about starting a really weird band with lyrics that take leftist policies to the ultra-extreme, for example, one song that argues that every child should be aborted because it may become the next Hitler. I call it, Better Safe Than Sorry and would have rhythmic chants of 'heil hitler' over tribal drum kits. I wonder if it would get coverage from them.

Wolfheart's Boneyard, new Augury, possibly new Ne Obliviscaris and Shylmagoghnar. Don't know if Paradise Lost has anything in the works or not, it'd be cool to hear something from them now that they've gone back to their death-doom roots.

What's some good black metal starters for someone who's mostly into melo-death, groove metal and flashy guitar work?
>>70002478
DsO - The Synarchy of Molten Bones
Vektor - Terminal Redux
Chthe'ilist - Le Dernier Crepuscule
Cough - Still They Pray
Moonsorrow - Jumalten Aika
>>70004564
Immortal and Inquisition.
>>70004564
I think Diabolical Masquerade would be a good starter. At it's core it's black metal, but there's a lot of fun guitarwork. Maybe not 'flashy', per se, but some nice riffs. Blackheim's vocals are ass, though, but so are a lot of black metal.

>>70004784
Amp and settings is more important for death metal. 7 strings not completely necessary, bands play heavy shit in E standard. Playing in B is fun though.
>>70004651
Immortal seems alright, I'll check more out.
Inquisition's vocalist is really irritating to me though, and on the album I put on the snare was open on the snare drum. Couldn't into it tbqh.

Songs were good, especially "haunted by horror", giving the album you posted a listen now. Seems pretty cool.

Just googled my own question. Immortals singer apparently. I've avoided black metal like the plague until this point. But Inquisitions singer definitely doesn't sound like Immortal. He's kinda just mumbling behind the instruments without even really growling in the couple songs I heard.
Abbath seems to at least put some effort into his growl.

he explains it as it's supposed to be like a demonic entity chanting a spell or some shit. you don't listen to inquisition for the vocals anyway you listen for the top tier riffs

Faster??

Yeah, ok, but rec me some albums that don't have that shitty open snare then.
>>70005313
no you gotta make it groovy
i've put spaces for this purpose
much slower in the beginning, and then faster when the notes are closer
>>70005313
faster. more gain. cut bass down to 0.

good i've been trying to stay out of most modern culture not out of any "political reasons" just to annoy normies with my own ignorance.
symphony of enchanted lands
obviously
>>70005337
as a drummer the snare on any of inquisitions albums has never bothered me but here's another good album for you

It was this one

It's honestly nearly as bad as the St. Anger snare to me hey.
Thanks for the suggestions though, I'll check out Blut Aus Nord next.
