Why does this get so much hate? Not the best album but not

>>72646117
the people that praise it tend to be (pardon the buzzword) nu-males that generally bash all other metal albums of any kind

only on /mu/ and that doesn't count.

>>72646144
So hipster fags

It's black metal fans, because it made their precious subgenre more accessible and they're purists about it. The album is phenomenal though and I'm seeing them live next week.

>>72646280
shut up faggot
black metal has always been accessible
unless you're a faggot

irresistible is great
the rest is throwaway shitty emo/post rock crossover with blast beats

>>72646300
Found the kvlt crybaby. I mean I'm trying to even find a point to your shitpost, but BM was more in the underground until this release provided entry for many people to become fans BM and metal in general hence why people shit on it.

at this point, people are more of just complaining about the hate for sunbather than hating sunbather

just disregard the slack it gets and enjoy the album

>>72646117
people who know nothing about black metal praise it, but it's really just shoegaze/post-rock with blast beats

>>72646417
Even if it were't metal what different does that make? It's still good.

>>72646417
hehe are you mad?

I say this every sunbather thread and i'll do it again

>album comes out
>it's alright, very not-black metal but even elitists just shrug it off
>gains acclaim
>hipsters do not stop fucking shilling it
>people get annoyed at the overrated praise
>all the annoyance translates to them associating the album with all that shit
>hate it as a result
>try to counter the endless overrating with excessive shitting on
I don't blame them, and I really like the album.

For other victims of this trend, see Vektor - Terminal Memdux

I love deafheaven great band. The reason it gets hate from metal dudes is because it's a different take on the genre. And most bm people are kinda stuck in the past. This is coming from a dude who loves the genre. But it's really up to debate if sunbather is a metal album.

its black metal for people who dont like black metal
alcest did it first and did it better and even then everyone knows niege takes dick on the reg.
black metal isnt for normies or the p4k drones who spam black metal threads asking for more like Sunbather.

>>72647344
It's clearly metal, the screamo influence isn't that major.
It's just far from Black Metal, when before they played Atmoblack even if it was quite tame atmoblack and as such this album got heaped in with that term which rustled jimmies.

>>72647346
>black metal isnt for normies
There's been plenty of Black Metal for normies for years now, lad. Time to let go.
Fuck, hipsters even like Burzum nowadays.

>>72646144
i have never seen anybody do this

>>72647391
black metal was definitely never for normies
most people aren't going to just throw on hvis lyset tar oss at a party. they're posing at a very high level if they do that.
plus burzum is the most recognizable bm and it makes sense that people flock to him when they want to pose.

Do Make Say Think tier post rock with screamo vokills and pretentious interludes
no thanks

>>72647469
sidebar cause >>72646417 reminded me: the cover art is fucking sick, big part of the popularity imo

>>72647444
>plus burzum is the most recognizable bm and it makes sense that people flock to him when they want to pose.
I'd say shit like Darkthrone would be almost as recognisable and get you more posing cred.

I know it was never for normies in its originality, but that's just simply not the case anymore.
There was even that band I forget the fucking name of that started out making semi-decent BM but then made sure it was accessible to sell more shit. Probably because they signed to Nuclear Blast or some similat shit.
Fuck I can't remember their name. They had a make-up gimmick and an insane drummer, that's all I remember.

>>72647528
>big part of the popularity imo
Well it made people who dislike Black Metal know that it probably wasn't going to be the Black Metal they hate. It's pretty on point and will encourage people to check it out if metal is even vaguely their thing.

>>72646144
you said that like it's a bad thing bashing metal music

>>72647469

>The reason it gets hate from metal dudes is because it's a different take on the genre.
Absolutely wrong
There were many bands having an "outsider" outtake on black metal before deafheaven, and most are really respected among the fans.
The reason it is hated is because it's extremely accessible, and it embraces the hipster image.

>>72646398
I guess blast beats were the one thing post rock needed to be interesting.

Pink album cover? band members dresses like hipsters? Breaks every code black metal bands usually respect

>>72647700
It is, but it's not uncommon for accessibility to sacrifice a lot of nuance and interesting stuff to BE accessible, hence justifying the hate.

The vocalist looks like richard spencer and we all know he's not a fag haha am i right
also this -> >>72647782

>>72647774
I'm not, I do like Sunbather although it is extremely overrated
And it's not even the first BM album to have a pink album cover
But denying the "hipsterness" of the band is pure delusion

>>72647782
The great thing is you don't have to look at them when I listen to their music.

>>72647782
It's a specific aesthetic though, one that Deafheaven shunned.

That was fucking rushed weak shit. Luna is the only track worth a damn.

The songwriting is disjointed, going from "guys we're black metal stop making fun of us" to "oh shit, we're meant to be Deafheaven" with almost comedic immediacy.
The only reason you'd call that album the best is if you're a contrarian tripfag with shit tas- oh.

>>72647818
Fuck no

>>72647799
I still don't get how a pink album cover = "hipsterness". Also I don't get how "they dress like fags" is a valid argument when most metal bands dress like autistic LARPers

Lord Belial did it in the 90's for example
Well, they didn't play entry-level P4K-tier blackgaze, but still they had a pink-covered album

>>72646144
metalheads have created this bizarre deafheaven fanboy strawman and are insecure over it

If making a pink album cover in black metal is controversial and will piss people off then they should absolutely do it

It's called "Black" Metal. It's meant to be dark and edgy. At most it's meant to be manly or extreme.
Simple and pink (a girly colour by default, in case you SOMEHOW DIDN'T KNOW THAT) goes against the Black Metal norm.

Like fuck, compare the album that basically started the genre to Sunbather.

It's a good album, metalheads are just generally insufferable people

It's basically kvlt.

Can we agree that metalheads are just as annoying as the "hipsters" they so commonly demonize?

Yes

>>72648025
A lot more annoying considering the deem a hipster anyone who isn't an autistic edgelord.
Case in point: >>72648040

>>72646117


cause it's a shoegaze album with a black metal touch, and very "hip" and hipsterish feel to it (you might not agree, but a lot of metal fans see it as just an hipster band trying to make BM culture trendier and more accessible)

>>72648040
i do not deny that i wear shirts and also pants, often at the same time

>>72646144
this. p4k fags praised the shit out of this and shat on other metal to the point that spergy metalheads flipped out.

>>72648040
Post a picture of what you consider acceptable clothing anon

>>72648073
god if this is true then metal fans are so fucking gay

>>72648025
The hipsters they so commonly demonize are literally anyone that doesn't look like they think a person should look. Metal posters aren't as bad as /pol/ but they're definitely up there.
