_____________________________ [Jun 9,2009 8:12am - Yeti ""] a little bit of column A and a little bit of column B. i want to believe in a natural ebb and flow across a linear continuum, but sometimes i wonder just how much more garbage can be "created" before it implodes and forms a supermassive black hole. as stated by Conservationist in another thread, maybe its time to let it all burn to the ground and start over from scratch. |

Some pioneers make it, and then everyone else surges in with a "me too" mentality. They're from the outside looking in. They understand what was made, but not how it was made. So all they can do is clone the past and trick it out with silly random stuff to obscure the fact that they're just clones. Punk died the same way. |

It's reached it's capacity and just about every thing has been done with it. In the realty of things, just about every kind of music has been done. Tell me, what else is there to do with music? Even avant-garde and experimental music doesn't phase me anymore. It's time people realize that everything has been done before, regardless if one wants to admit it or not. The musical cycle will rehash itself over and over; we'll start to see an influx of bands that sound like they're from an earlier generation. Hell, remember when Swing became popular again in 1999? What the hell happened to that? You never know what to expect with trends in all of music, not only metal. Let's just hope metal stays alive for what it is and what it was. There is no progressing; only regressing. We have to move backwards in order to move forwards and filter out the shit. One of the best things about music (and metal) are bands that sound unique. yes, they're not the only ones doing their style, but it's at least noticeable that they're THE ones doing it. A band can be unique within itself and its musicians, but the style they play is rarely unique anymore. |

______________________________________ [Jun 9,2009 11:02am - goatcatalyst ""] After catching the Summer Slaughter show in Hartford last night, it's painfully obvious that the oversaturation / dying-off of the early 90s is being repeated. Oversaturation always leads to a diluting which leads to accessibility/availability which naturally panders to a lowest common denominator. Which is where you get bands like Born Of Osiris and Winds Of Plague. In other words, BLAME SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA[\B]. I really like the point Aril made about regression. Too many bands and fans mistake both dilution+combination of styles/genres and outright masturbation+absurdity as something "progressive" or innovative. I'm sorry, but your General Tso's ice cream tastes like shit. I could go on and on and on. PS: "Affliction presents Summer Slaughter" ??? Really??? |

____________________________________ [Jun 9,2009 11:11am - arilliusbm ""] One thing I think is somewhat destroying metal is the production. Some bands now are just so overproduced it's not even funny. I can't listen to metal that has the production of modern-day pop. It loses it's atmosphere and feeling when it's overproduced. I guess an example would be newer Krisiun. Crushing songs and riffs, but I can't listen to more than one song in a sitting because the production turns me off. If we're going to regress in one area in metal, I hope it's production and sound-quality. It's getting to the point where metal has lost its willingness to sound gritty. |
____________________________________ [Jun 9,2009 11:13am - arilliusbm ""] Also, not sure if you guys are familiar with the German band Equilibrium, but I can't listen to them. Production is so crystal clear for their style it makes me want to puke. |
______________________________ [Jun 9,2009 11:20am - blue ""] I don't know what to say, I have no interest in trying to be the dr. Phil of the metal scene. I just do what I've always done since I was a lad: enjoy listening/playing/seeing metal. I feel like all of this sewper deep conversing about what people feel couldve been replaced with some woodshedding and sharing their idea of what metal should be. Put yer guitar where yer mouth is, perhaps. |
___________________________________________ [Jun 9,2009 11:27am - MikeofDecrepitude ""] I'd like to make a point that I find it amusing when people get offended if you don't like their band or you don't support newer acts. Personally, I don't hate any bands, and if I don't enjoy your music, I simply won't listen to it. I may have been concerned with knowing every single underground act in my early teens, which I did benefit from; for it allowed me to sift through the piles of garbage to find the true diamonds in the rough. I love doom, black metal, death metal but I don't feel the need to worship or support every band that comes out of the scene. If you're just some band playing substandard Darkthrone riffs, I'm naturally going to throw on Under a Funeral Moon and not pay attention to you. |

___________________________________________ [Jun 9,2009 11:48am - MikeofDecrepitude ""] I know when I was in my teens and playing death metal, my band was collectively concerned with writing material that WE wanted to hear. I never had any aspirations about making a profit off of our music, or gaining a fanatical fan base. We mainly got booked for hardcore shows, kids moved, and death metal fans from abroad corresponded with us. For me, that simply sufficed. If people liked my band, hey, awesome! If you didn't, I certainly lost no sleep over it. |
______________________________________ [Jun 9,2009 11:50am - goatcatalyst ""] As is common practice at the Webster, they had a ton of locals playing on a second stage in a room off the main merch area. Between bands or during some of the more insufferable ones (I'm lookin at you, Born Of Osiris), I'd venture over to see what was going on. And just as quickly venture out. I can't think of a greater sin than encouraging mediocrity. |

__________________________________________ [Jun 9,2009 12:05pm - MillenialKingdom ""] Metal is not the underground phenomenon it was in the early to mid 90's. Like what's already been mentioned, metal's production standards are more accessible to mainstream audiences. It's clean and loud. Not too many people want to hear the grittiness of metal anymore because they don't understand it. Just about everyone on this board loves the classic eras of metal and wants the current form of this genre of music to regress to the "old days". To me, metal is the only type of music where fans are the most knowledgeable, discerning and can easily tell what the poser bands are. Unfortunately, it's the poser bands who get popular because they pander to an audience looking for the hits, so to say. I too believe that the evolution of this music is done but we should just enjoy the masterpieces already given to us and not pay attention to the crappy bands. Maybe they'll die off and we'll have a resurgence in greatness. |
_____________________________________ [Jun 9,2009 12:07pm - ouchdrummer ""] and i agree that most "everything" has been done.. at least stylistically...but bands doing whatever style they do really well is what matters. |

But regression will get us nowhere. Just because a band is playing low-fi underground metal-by-numbers, doesn't mean they will surpass or even recapture the original feeling of their progenitors. Everything in life is ephemeral, not everything was meant to last, so I'll continue to enjoy what I've been exposed to over the years. |
__________________________________________ [Jun 9,2009 12:30pm - MillenialKingdom ""] Well, I don't mean regression as in a simplification of the sound or quality, just to the feeling and nostalgia. I guess that's what the Thrash revival was supposed to be I guess but it's not working. |

__________________________________________ [Jun 9,2009 12:58pm - MillenialKingdom ""] I think my only problem with the newer production standards is the sound of the drums. They don't sound like a human being plays them, just studio magic. |

I'm gonna have to catch you guys and would like to play a show (or many) with you guys in the near future at some point @everyone else - one thing to ponder is how there is a huge difference in opinion between actual musicians and people who don't create the art, just respect it. What someone says is "good" , another can say it sucks. Also, I hold high respect for very talented musicians that can play their instruments, but I hold even higher respect for every composer that can create music. There's a difference - but sometimes people can be both. |
