Angist is amazing.
Holy poo poo, you guys, Angist is brutal as gently caress, I've been sitting here going through the songs they've got up on YouTube and goddrat.

Totally agree. I'd never heard of 'em until now, but that first track posted was absolutely killer. Cerebral Bore, while a little more "slam," are catchy as gently caress. Scottish brutal death metal band fronted by an (at the time of this video) 18-year-old from the Netherlands they discovered on Youtube.

And of course there's Darkestrah and Arkona, but those are brought up every time "women in metal" is mentioned.

There's also Tard, whom I believe Necro-tron recommended to me years ago. Pretty good female-fronted grind with one of the best parody album titles I've ever seen - Disgorging Guttural Regurgitations of Dismembered Disembowelment and Effluvious Visceral Entrail Secretions With a Side of Emaciated Malignant Lymphatic Putrescence, a Glass of Ensanguined Malodorous Discharge to Drink, and Coagulated Pustular Rectal Seepage for Dessert (With a Cherry on Top)

Huh, I didn't even know Arkona was female fronted.

I love Darkestrah though. Didn't know it was female fronted at first either. False registry vocals don't really give gender away.

Huntress are bad, but that review is embarrassing. Ugh.

Oh yeah, since we're talking about women in bands let's listen to Bolt Thrower for Bolt Thrower's sake because we can all agree on Bolt Thrower.

Yeah, took me a bit to figure out that Arkona's lead singer was female too. Mostly because she actually does harsh vocals.

Sorry I got all mad bros; just hate meatheads furthering the stereotype of the metal-listener and thought that was what was happening. I did not understand the subtle nuance of reasons for laughing at the ignorant bullshit in the posted review.

I don't blame you. As Morbid Florest said, metal is the professional wrestling of music (I will use this description for the rest of my life), and the section of abhorrent fans comes with it. I would say in recent years metal as a whole has done a good job at pushing back at a lot of the stereotypes that are somehow beholden to a lot of the general public.

:siren: SHAMELESS SELF PROMOTION TIME :siren:

I've noticed a lot of metal-related sites have a good number of guys that match the above reviewer, but I would like to say that the webzine I help run, Metal Blast, tries to do away with a lot of those stereotypes. We actually take a lot of pride in what we do and aim to give a much more respectful take on metal albums than say Global Domination or Metal Archives does.

We are also looking for more writers, so if you are interested then please send me an e-mail at jonburkan [AT] metalblast.net.

This is infiently better than Heritage, holy poo poo. It's like an extension of the Damnation soft stuff. As much as I rant and rave that that was the beginning of the end of the Opeth I loved, it's miles better than anything they put out after (Ghost Reveries).

Don't even think about watching/listening to this song without headphones. I did at first and was like "meh," but then I tried again with headphones and it's a near religious experience. Steven Wilson's vocals, when they come in, are haunting as hell.

By the time "Warmachines At War" comes lolling around, I just want to punch pregnant mothers in the stomach, in fear of them giving birth to more people like Faggotry. The song in question, which I prefer to call "Lolmachines at lol" is so ridiculously bad that I couldn't even laugh at it when I first heard it. It was beyond bad, like someone had just taken a can of compressed AIDS and tossed it in my face without warning. The song starts out with the most annoying riff ever written (think SFU and AC/DC and lots and lots of AIDS... throw in some images of dead puppies if unsure)

It seems like you see this poo poo from metal reviewers more than any other genre. It's not enough to say you didn't like something and explain why you didn't like it for these assholes. They have to throw in "human being" this and "oval office" that and sprinkle it liberally with AIDS jokes and assorted misogyny and homophobia, generally the kind of childish poo poo you'd expect to hear from a 12-year-old on XBox Live, not a twenty-something-year-old music reviewer.

I guess the idiot meatheads are just part of the whole metal package. :sigh:
