Norway of all places finally invented a form of rock and roll as awful and evil as your parents and the crazy man on the TV said it was. They're burning churches and mocking each other's suicide. They make Alice Cooper seem like a Sunday School teacher. They make the Ramones look like Republicans.

Black metal is so cringe, I'd rather listen to some dumb shit like pirate metal. At least they know they're being rarded.

Fantasy metal is even worse. Rhapsody of Fire and such.

They're Italian, of course rhapsody of fire are rarted. I'd better not hear any slander of blind guardian though.

Nice I'll check them out. Brb with an arbitration of justice by either upvoting or downvoting you

Keep in mind that they sort of peaked with Nightfall in the Middle Earth (1998), two previous albums are good too but as you go earlier it becomes more stereotypical power metal and as you go later it becomes less memorable in my personal opinion. Their vocalist's side project Demons and Wizards had one really great album too.

Give Eluveitie and Powerwolf a shot.

Why would I listen to that when I could put on some Amon Amarth?

“Through church burning and Black Metal music we will reawaken the Norwegians’ feelings of belonging to Odin,”

Dear G.od, even by today's stantard it's hard to read that, they were the tik tok zoomers witches of today 😂

How is this story about stuff that happened 30 years ago even remotely relevant to this subreddit

4  RydenwithByden 2021-06-25

2 year article about a 30 year old music scene.

Why even bother with this sub anymore?
