I don’t like Hardcore. Or anything ‘core’, actually. That’s what I told myself when I picked up Kollapse‘s newest piece Sult from the review pipe. And that’s usually true. Because any one of these ‘styles’ really pushes my anger button(s), instead of calming things down.

So, in this light, perhaps this should be my war music of sorts. You know, when battle breaks loose and the enemy is numerous. Show me yer war face1), that kind of thing.

Yet here, whilst thinking negative thoughts, I suddenly found myself in … [...] Click to raid more!

The RMR deck crew has recently taken a fancy to the styleless masses of the metal multiverse. Outfits that moved away from the (self-imposed) conventions and narrow rulez of genres that shouldn’t even exist.

When things get experimental, this crew gets worried. The RMR deckhands already had their fair share of ‘great bands’ that only managed to waste our time with ill-fated projects. Those that got hailed by the eternal yaysayers to nirvana and back, defended by a small gang of loudmouth fans.

Some picture themselves as the archetype of the avant-garde, those that dare face the brave new world that will emerge after all those pandemics and miscellaneous tribulations changed everything. So much so, that we now must embrace the useless and the atrocious. Because someone … [...] Click to raid more!

Who ever said that metal is dead and attracts no talent? I always love those folks. They probably never went beyond a bit of AC/DC1) and – oh delicious shudder – some Metallica. Because – guess what – Iron Maiden is the devil’s work and Bruce Dickinson surely grows horns every night.2) And after uttering Ozzy’s name, they’ll run for the mouthwash, because he’s the Non Serviam guy (which he is not, by the way). And that between a gazillion other evil things.

Right.

Well, hells bells, this makes me want … [...] Click to raid more!
