Yeah, it's for the better black metal bands stopped wearing make up and growing their hair

>>74677666
Remember when metalfags hated them because they brought something new to the table and didnt wear corpse paint like children

but really who cares what artists look like? deafheaven's shit either way but it's stupid af to pull apart appearance

>>74677666
"if i wear this shirt...nobody will tell how tubby i am

>>74677678
What is this great gothic rock album doing in this thread?

>>74677666
>satanic trips
>spewing black metal purist faggotry

like pottery

>>74677696
Remember when numales would only listen to Deafheaven and claim they were the best black metal band of all time

>>74677666
>Black metal fans consider Deafheaven black metal even when Deafheaven doesn't consider itself black metal just so they can call it poser black metal

Really makes me think...

>>74677742
People who like metal in general are numales

They look like a bunch of gay nerds who are 30% body fat to me.

I'd rather not listen to black metal at all. But always remember: It's only ok to listen to black metal if you look like you don't listen to black metal.

Otherwise? You should either never step outside or end your shitty minimum wage life.

>>74677751
It's black metal that is not black metal

Save for the one of the right, they all look like Richard Spencer brand "fascists".

I read a post or interview from varg once where he said metal already died when it started to get filled with faggots with tribal tattoos.
I think it was a reference to numetal

capitalism is evil.
Varg has reached a power level of right wing woke very few achieve.

>>74677731
really though

>image reviewer
cool who cares

>>74677757
>People who like metal in general are nu-males
what? is literally the opposite

How did this "Deafheaven is black metal" forced meme even start? Who the fuck ever said they were black metal to begin with? And why did every metal elitist suddenly latch on and start criticizing them for calling themselves black metal? Wtf

>>74680147
Let them weirdos be. Their music is alright. I also don't understand what the buzz is about. They aren't the first new kind of black metal influenced band.
Atmospheric black metal is my favorite of the kind. Altar of Plagues are my fave.

Imagine being a black metal band without burning any churches

>>74680037
>he thinks nu-male isn't a meaningless buzzword

Why is it cool to hate deafheaven? They're a good band. I'm highly anticipating their next album.

>>74680841
t. nu-male

>>74680037
I love how metalfags have this delusion that their taste in music prohibits them from being faggots

>>74677666
>metalfags care this much about image

its post black you stupid fuck

>>74677666
Deafheaven is dull suburban indie rock.

They've more in common with post-rock than black metal.

>>74677757
People who like music in general are numales

>>74677666
Why do you have to look a certain way to make a certain type of music?

>>74680037
lol all the beta introverts in high school listened to metal

>>74680147
Music journalists and "critics" that had never heard anything like it before, thinking it must be new and revolutionary, shilling the ever-living shit out of it to make themselves feel relevant by riding the wave of hype.

>>74683041
yeah and most of the faggots throwing around the term numale are beta introverts using it against people with jobs, girlfriends and money

reminder that all good metal acts of the old bm scene stopped doing bm long ago and ridiculed it already in the late nineties, this label has been meaningless for decades, you should just call these new supposedly bm acts 'extreme metal', because that's who they are and what they are doing, despite their denial.

>>74680037
Jesus, are you really that clueless?

>>74677666
>"black" metal
wew, cultural appropriation much?!

>>74680037
Exactly, everyone who denies this is a hardcore nu-male
The cringy metal fans are not nu-males just awkward neckbeards

>>74680037
you're the same limp-wristed betas, only with longer hair and darker clothes

lots of neo-males in this thread

>>74677666

Daily reminder that corpse paint is fucking stupid. So is not moving the genre forward at all. Have fun listening to your early 90s albums until you die.

>>74683933
the genre is literally just wealthy norwegian kids being edgy for the sake of it. trying to turn it into something "deep" and "artistic" is pathetic

why is metal so obsessed with image?

>>74684306
All style over substance

>>74684306
>>74684317
> they said
> jerking off deafheaven because their style is "iconoclastic" or something

>>74684289

>people from scandinavia, the richest most comfortable best place to live in entire world, dressing up in black wearing makeup and screaming about satan
At least these guys are honest about what they are

>>74684431
Yeah nordic climates aren't one of the most harshest in this floating rock.

Seriously guys, go back to /fa/

>>74684216

Yeah being artistic is stupid. You got me anon. Neck yourself.

>>74683038
Because the persona of the artist is an important component of black metal. Part of the power of black metal is the fantasy of something aesthetic or philosophical ideal which is represented visually, musically, and through the artist's theatrical persona.

>>74685007
>>74685007

Theatrics and appearance are completely unimportant. Do you stare at pics of the band while you listen to black metal albums?

>>74685138
Have you ever been to a concert before?

>you have to dress up in your metal costume or your music isn't real !
This is why metalfags get made fun of by everyone else.

American "black metal" is a mistake

>>74684324
A lot of projecting there.

Sometimes music has to be theatrical, bowie was the guy that started it all.
But the reaction to it is always boring guys wearing blue jeans

>>74685182

Sure. Would you leave if your favorite trve kvlt black metal band didn't put on their Halloween costume?

>>74685206

see >>74685203

>>74685192

Exactly.

>>74685203

So you can't listen to Bowie on record, you have to watch him prance around like a space man to enjoy him?

>>74684306
you mean like everyone else\

I'm not that bothered by their "image" as much as their music desu

>>74685248
Bowie had amazing fucking concerts that were insanely theatrical.

The dude literally pretended to be a space alien for a couple of years

>>74685288
You're ignoring the question.
Bowie was theatrical, but the music implied the theatrics anyway. If he played those tracks without acting them out it wouldn't work.

The argument that every black metal band have to dress up like monochrome Lord of the Rings characters and play the exact same dramatic formula is ridiculous though; you can play the genre without having to adopt the exact same themes and theatrics as every other fucking release. The entire argument is retarded.
>you have to dress like Immortal and also be exactly the same as them or you aren't trve and kvlt
Nonsense.

Or he is just the most famous of them.

Completely avoided the question

>>74685423
>s-stop liking things I don't like

>>74685436
Mate, someone responding to a question with unrelated bullshit =/= 'liking what I don't like'. Learn to read.

>>74681774
I really enjoy their earlier stuff, sun father didn't leave to much of an impression on me.

>>74685436

Never said anything about liking or not liking anything

Deafheaven isn't black metal, it's blackgaze; a subgenre of post rock that combines elements of shoegaze, post rock and black metal.

>>74685899
>black gays
how did no one notice this should've been named shoemetal
