my only problem is that if bieber fans see him wearing a metal band shirt, they will start wearing metal shirts because they will think thats the fashion right now, I've already seen some people saying metal shirts are in right now, and BAM the poser evolution
It will never happen. Kendall Jenner sported a slayer shirt at some show/festival something and none of the Kardashian worshippers are supporting Slayer. Juicy J from Three 6 Mafia loves Megadeth and sports them and other metal bands all the time; rap fans sporting metal shirts? Even if it does happen and hordes of teeny boppers start wearing metal t-shirts, won't it benefit the bands?
I have a cousin who listens to pop rock and stuff like that. He made a post on Facebook where he was wearing an Iron Maiden shirt. I commented saying "Nice Iron Maiden shirt" for him to reply "It's not Iron Man". 😁 he didn't even know who they were. Disappointed
Would it because your cousin is stipudly following a trend in fashion...watch this video clip of the old kinks song " A dedicated follower of fashion" which describes this trend.
Everything you said and more. Which is the biggest problem these days. If you are wearing a metal shirt of a band or a hardrock shirt of a band then you better damn well know something about the band besides just that one song. If not then stop wearing it. It makes it hard for other metalheads, hardrock fans, etc to find others that like the same music and bands.
Devil's Orchard one girl in my school she was wearing Rolling Stones and I was rlly surprised and when I asked her ,,Do you listen to Metal or Rock?" She just said that she likes the look of the shirt like WTF
I doubt it, metallica are pretty well known even by people that don't normally listen to metal. I don't the guy well and neither do you so he may or may not like metal. My money is on metal.
and Marilyn Manson's old Antichrist shirts. I don't really think He realize what Manson wanne say with this shirt. In my opinion it's a "litle" bit stupid, but hey I don't really enjoy his music so I actually shouldn't give a shit what he's wearing. The only problem ...I fucking enjoy Marilyn Manson.
Just found your channel, and really enjoy your intelligent, articulate outlook on the genre as well as personal input. Great stuff. Hope your channel gets huge and successful. Thanks!
Justin Bieber tweeted about liking Dark Funeral's new album, "Where Shadows Forever Reign". And Lord Ahriman replied to him and roasted JB's ass (not literally, obviously). But when I went back to JB's Twitter page, I didn't see that post anymore. So I guess he regretted making that tweet and deleted it, or a bunch of Dark Funeral fans spammed him with hatred and he didn't like that. So...ya.
if he really likes Dark Funeral, why bother removing the tweet? Who the fuck cares about what people say, the fact that his tweet pissed people off is pretty metal, just like slayer's early albums pissing off tipper gore..
I think that's fucking terrible. If he REALLY did like Dark Funeral's album, I think that's awesome. Metal is awesome and I support anyone else who discovers its awesomeness as well!
H e's a narcissistic egotistical asshole who has a warped perception of life from everyone kissing his ass ( this goes double for the music industry that can't see past the $ 1,000 bills pasted over their eyes)
That's not True, most pop artist are actually really talented, unless pop is just american popular music for you. Here our pop artists are NOT using autotune, they even dislike the abuse of such ways.
Autotune is an effect that you use artistically. And what you're reffering to is by being well produced by producers and having their voice mastered, which mostly means a ton of $$$
I made a video a year ago basically about this subject when Justin Bieber posted a picture of himself wearing a Metallica shirt. He actually does dig Metallica, maybe not to the level that you and I do, but he digs em. I've heard stories about people like Lady Gaga and Kesha both liking metal as well. It's basically one of those "Ok cool" things that really shouldn't impact anything.
I agree with you dude I've seen Justin Beiber wearing Iron Maiden, Metallica and SLAYER shirts before and I'm just like, so what! At least he has good taste ya know?
Hey Black metal Werewolf, great video! I agree with you. If someone who likes pop music also likes metal, good. It's a plus for the genre. Some people are well rounded and like various genres of music.
I love metal and 80,s pop in fact my favourite pop metal cover is sinergy,s cover of the abba classic gimme gimme gimme and Kimberly Goss,s voice is on top man 👍☺️❤️🤘
Heidevolk has a very good song, "Vulgaris Magistralis", it's a bonus track on one of their albums, the lyrics are entirely parodic, but they're absolutely beautiful.
Dianna Bowen What of Korpiklaani? Have you heard any of their covers? My favourite has got to be Juodaan Viinaa, a cover of a song by Hector, both versions are the best drinking songs of all time.
I don't understand people that don't believe that popstars can also love metal. That's silly. Let's say tha Bieber likes Megadeth, good for him, that means he has good taste for music. People who get all angry about that... get a life!!
They can like it. The question is are they wearing the shirt because they like the music or because they just think the shirt is cool. I have meet far to many people who just wear a metal t-shirt but don't listen to metal music can't name one band outside of the mainstream bands. They can't name one song from the shirt of of said band they are wearing outside of that popular one. Yeah that pisses me of.
It seems gate keeping is a problem for the metal community as well. Exclusion keeps music scenes small and limits the amount of money the artists can make. You can find snobs ruining things anywhere.
You know how there is a KISS shirt in basic shops like H&M? Yesterday i found stupidly made cartoonish Slipknot shirt and it pissed me off that people gonna buy them even tho they dont listen to it...
I mean... you can be brutal and aggressive without being racist and homophobic and such. I think there's a line that a lot of people ignore. I'm sure you're familiar with Cattle Decapitation's "Forced Gender Reassignment"? Brutal and DEFINITELY NOT PC but it makes a good point.
+EllieElectric35 I honestly don't think that Metal is inherently racist or homophobic. You definitely can be brutal without being either of those things. I mean, if Metal was homophobic, I don't think I would be liked in this community.
I think you hit the nail on the head with the "being falsely represented" statement. I'm a huge thrash metal fan and lately I've seen the flipped brim trucker hat thing come back into style as well as battle jackets...blows my mind; yes I'm bothered by it, but I feel like there's always that chance they're truly dedicated and just totally immersing themselves in it. check out Toxic Holocaust if you haven't already heard of em, pretty rad band.
I'm primarily a musician, and as such this really irks me. I love metal, it's my life through and through. I also love music in general. I'd rather listen to Bieber's "Baby" than have silence. I think music listeners should not confine themselves to a genre, and branch out a bit too. I love Bruno Mars, Jackson 5, Taylor Swift, Brad Paisley all alongside metal. And for those musicians who have the "no popstar! TRUE METAL ONLY!!" mentality, they sicken me. As long as a musician is legit (which a lot more are legit outside of metal than you think), they deserve all of the respect that a legit metal musician deserves. Hell, even deadmau5 is a legit musician and should be treated as such. Keith Urban (who ironically did metal before he went to country) isn't worse of a musician because of the kind of music he writes, so why should anyone shit on his musicianship? I understand not liking the sound, but not respecting/recognizing it is just sinful. A musician should always support other musicians, and push all of us as a whole to improve ourselves.
My all in all serious comment is that if a person likes pop and metal at the same time, I start to asking them "Are you one of those, 'I'll Listen to anything' kind of people?" which is fine. That being said... I'm a metalhead, who favors metal above all else, but who loves J-Pop music simply because I grew up watching anime.
Kevin Goeltz get what ure saying I love anything from bobby Darin to kiss to culture club to slayer and everything in between Don’t get the whole stick to one genre. Why miss out on awesome music when you can listen to it. 🤔
Sure they can. But damn it if you are going to wear a t-shirt be it a punk band, metal band, hardrock band, etc at lest know the damn music. Don't give me the name of the just one or two tops songs. That does not fly with me. I like the band Dark Tranquillity. I have yet to get a shirt. I will next month when I see them live. I have all but two of there albums. My top album from them is The Gallaery. One of my top songs from them is Insanity's Crescendo. If I see someone wearing a DT shirt they better damn well know something about them.
That would be fine , Claude As long as some pop fans don' t come on youtube and post videos on how they think that metal sucks & how they think that Justin Bieber & his ilk makes better music...( obvisouly they have been so conditioned by listening to autotuned programed pop that they think that the singers are singing..just let them go on the road & actually have to sing without autotune..their fans hear how out of tune their voices really are...they'll be disappointed ! )
on my battle vest I have patches ranging from testament to Infant Annihilator, I even have fucking wiggles patch. yet I got shit because I had a Motionless In White patch. you should ma a video addressing that kind of bullshit.
I have massive issues with Montionless in White fans and just about any fan of metalcore/deathcore/whatever core and nu-metal bands. I will explain it the best I can and it's this MoW puppets 3 comes out. MoW fans: OH THIS IS JUST LIKE BLACK METAL. Me: :| You don't know shit about black metal stop calling that MoW is doing is with that song black metal. MoW Fans: Well they are also a gothic metal band to. Me: Do you even listen to gothic metal? MoW: No but this is just like that they are like Marilyn Manson and he is so gothic in fact he started gothic rock and metal. So why I can see why you get shit for it. A lot of nu-metal and core fans don't seem to give a shit about the bands that paved the way for genres such as black metal, death metal, gothic metal, doom metal, etc. They shit over them and act like Suicide Silence is the best death metal band (which they are not even death metal) and all other real death meal bands suck or they shit over the bands that started the genre. That's my issue. You can like MoW just don't be one of those fans that think that MoW is gothic. They are not. Don't think that they are one of those bands that is playing black metal on Black Damask. Because guess what it's not.
I love your videos! And I agree, it's not like it affects my life that someone I dislike likes what I like. Would you do a video on your top 5 favorite thrash and metal bands? That'd be rad!
If pop stars wear metal band shirts then their fans who'd never listen that music start doing it too because it's the in trend. But these people are fickle; as trends come and go what they wear will change so I'm not too worried. In the meantime bands and merchandisers get more money for their work which is cool.
If Justin Bieber went on tour with Behemoth I would die laughing! I would buy tickets and film it due to disbelief. =D I can imagine Justin Bieber making a speed metal yelling"Baby baby baby!!! I'll be your one and only!!!!! Or you'll die!!!!!!!!!!!" Lol. =D
I think that's what pop stars are trying to do....to make people like them more! They just lie! I think pop stars just do it for attention! rihanna said that she liked Slipknot in one interview and the interviewer said witch song and she said she "Forgot" the song names from Slipknot!
Im going to see Amon Amarth, Behemoth and Grand Magus in december, helsinki. Anyone else heading there? Any tips for me? Its one of my first shows so im a bit nervous about going, im a bit shy.
3:24 wow I wish I heard that in elementary school, this incarnation of Satan named Joni was the biggest bully in the history of bullies, and I mean breaking a kid's LEG bully. If she got white milk for lunch, SJ and I would get chocolate, and vice versa. We also swore not to walk over her spot on the carpet, and all that shit. She moved away in 6th, though. Best day of my life
I like it and it's good. In the song 'line!' It has rap, death metal growls, and so much more. Listen to the sing Gimme Chocolate and maybe you'll change your mind. I'm not forcing you to but if you don't like it, I respect your opinion.
I didn't realize that people were only allowed to like one genre of music? Or that musicians were only allowed to listen to the kind of music they make? 😒 The "True Fans" Mentality and Gatekeeping Mentality is such petty bullshit.
I listen to Cradle of Filth - From The Cradle to Enslave then I'll listen to Justin Bieber - Boyfriend... I'm gonna listen to all the fucking music I want.
Oeh Heidevolk, that one is a classic here in the Netherlands. Especially "Vulgaris Magistralis" look up the video of it (it has english subs) the humour in it is glorious.
I find it hard to believe that that a pop star likes metal because its impossible to hear metal influence in their music. If they do legitimately like metal and only play pop dosnt it mean they are sell outs? (hey isn't this what pop is for?) Its hard to find a win except in the cases like Mykur and public enemy with anthrax
As long as they stay away from my festivals as performers taking away stage time from actually good bands.. I don't care what they like. And the pronunctuation was close. One of the best pronunctuations I so far heard a non Dutch person do. Kudos well deserved. =)
One thing I was really pissed off with; I went to the Behemoth concert in Hong Kong and at the beginning when the support band was playing there was 2 white guys (Im only saying white cause in HK the crowd was mostly asian and im only singling them out cause they said they hate metal) talking at the bar and I heard them saying "dude metal chicks are great, they will always sleep with you!!!" I rolled my eyes and went into the pit, then after the gig I saw them talking to a girl saying they wanna take her behind the venue to smoke weed, I immeidetly ran over and pretended to know the girl (she was drunk), ask them what they wanted, they said "oh you wanna smoke weed with us? both of you come!" (then he grabbed my shoulder) i told them I heard them saying they dont even like Behemoth, they were here for the pussy and I shamed them loud enough for everyone to hear and walked the girl to the taxi. I havent seen them at a gig since.
Oh and Band recommendation: CHECK OUT SULPHUR AEON Death Metal from Germany, english, mostly cthulhu themed lyrics and stuff... its fucking brutal good music and anyone should check them out of you guys
Hey black metal werewolf. Have you heard UNEXPECT, and where are good places to get metal albums? I know it's really not a physical media world anymore but I still like cds
you know I never seen heavy metal music cds over here in stores or even black metal just the old school stuff like metalica iron maiden black sabbath etc
Yes, I love Heidevolk! Even more because I'm Dutch too. Saw the album in a record store a few weeks back, but it was really expensive, so shame I didn't pick it up.
i actually want to avoid wearing metal shirts of bands i like just to avoid annoying ahh people asking me to name three songs, calling me a poser just cause or some other sht, like literally grow up and leave me alone
I think there should be a distinction between posers, real fans, and casual listeners. I wouldn't call myself a metalhead or even a metal fan but I do like it and I do listen to it from time to time, just not enough to where I can relate to metalheads or even consider going to a metal concert.
I've seen so many kids wearing iron maiden killers shirts & misfits crimson ghost I don't even say anything to them. I just give them the horns . you can tell if they're real fans by the reaction. Btw just bought havok 'out of time' best CD I've heard in a long time
Duimen omhoog voor Heidevolk! I have their "Walhalla Wacht" and "Uit Oude Grond" albums. They're the only Dutch metal band that I know of who sings in their native language. Most of their songs are Pagan-themed and about the Norse pantheon, as well as songs about battle and the like. Very cool stuff!
The thing is, if you listen to metal as your primary (though not necessarily your only) genre of music--in other words, if you are a metalhead--then you are probably an "alternative" personality. You don't fit into mainstream society. You are probably intelligent and highly independent, setting yourself apart from the sheep. When "undesirable" elements claim to share the passion, when posers encroach upon the musical sanctuary, understandable feelings of indignation arise in the heart of the metalhead, who now faces a minor existential crisis. Ultimately, we just have to deal with it as mature adults, but I can understand why people become exasperated.
Haha I like how most metalheads assume that they are intelligent just because of their music taste. I know people who are dumber than a lamp post and they listen to classical music.
What gets me a stranger wearing a band t shirt in the middle of a street might upset these people and based on the way they look they get upset deepinside because they think they are a poser. what exactly is a poser? If they actually listen to the music and then buy a t shirt then whats wrong with that ?
To quote Cliff Burton “I like whatever’s good” so therefore I just listen to what I like wether it be slayer, Marty Robbins, NWA, The smiths, queen or sodom, what matters is that I like it and enjoy it
That sort of happened in the 80's with hair bands but I like a fair amount of those. I've mostly grown out of my parents music of that genre save for a few bands. Admit it hair bands were sell out "metal" pop though some bands like Dokken were closer to the sound than others.
People care too much about what people do... I listen to a lot of genres (metal and pop included) and that doesn't mean I'm a poser or whatever. I just enjoy different genres, why can't we just enjoy music?
In regards to Velua, in my opinion it is perhaps the best album I have ever heard, Heidevolk are by far my favourite band of all time and that album is perfection.
Great video dude! It truly is quite amazing how that certain section of the Metal community will spew out genuine hatred towards them for, as you said repping a Slayer shirt or something :/ I really just don't get that mindset haha
+michael hall (Rwanime442) Completely baffles me dude. I'm the same, not a fan of that music and never will be but if anything I have the opposite reaction 'Huh, I see they're wearing a Pantera shirt.. That's pretty cool'
I like a very wide range of music. From 50s Doo wop to rock to folk to swing jazz, to black metal. So if someone passes by me listening to Simon and Garfunkel, they may not ever entertain the thought that Behemoth could play immediately after them. Someone can like Justin Bieber and like metal also. IF I was a musician, I'd be tempted to make music in so many genres it would make some people's heads spin. So if say Justin did like metal and wanted to try his hand at making metal music, I say go for it. It could be good!
my only problem is that if bieber fans see him wearing a metal band shirt, they will start wearing metal shirts because they will think thats the fashion right now, I've already seen some people saying metal shirts are in right now, and BAM the poser evolution

I have meet far to many people who just wear a metal t-shirt but don't listen to metal music can't name one band outside of the mainstream bands. They can't name one song from the shirt of of said band they are wearing outside of that popular one.
Yeah that pisses me of.
POpstars loving metal is one thing... but what if a pop star covers a metal song? Would the said Popstar know what he/she is singing about?
They got good taste in art then, you can't deny those band shirts do look fucking badass
I'd ask the metalhead who gets pissy about something like this..." what's happened to your sense of humor?"
It seems gate keeping is a problem for the metal community as well. Exclusion keeps music scenes small and limits the amount of money the artists can make. You can find snobs ruining things anywhere.

That being said... I'm a metalhead, who favors metal above all else, but who loves J-Pop music simply because I grew up watching anime.
Kevin Goeltz get what ure saying I love anything from bobby Darin to kiss to culture club to slayer and everything in between Don’t get the whole stick to one genre. Why miss out on awesome music when you can listen to it. 🤔
How about we all just let people listen to the music they want?
Sure they can. But damn it if you are going to wear a t-shirt be it a punk band, metal band, hardrock band, etc at lest know the damn music. Don't give me the name of the just one or two tops songs. That does not fly with me.
I like the band Dark Tranquillity. I have yet to get a shirt. I will next month when I see them live. I have all but two of there albums. My top album from them is The Gallaery. One of my top songs from them is Insanity's Crescendo.
If I see someone wearing a DT shirt they better damn well know something about them.
I agree, definitely. I'm just saying that like, I can go listen to Archspire and Dimmu Borgir, but then immediately turn around and put on Lady Gaga.
That would be fine , Claude
As long as some pop fans don' t come on youtube and post videos on how they think that metal sucks & how they think that Justin Bieber & his ilk makes better music...( obvisouly they have been so conditioned by listening to autotuned programed pop that they think that the singers are singing..just let them go on the road & actually have to sing without autotune..their fans hear how out of tune their voices really are...they'll be disappointed ! )
At first I read the title as No poptarts allowed
on my battle vest I have patches ranging from testament to Infant Annihilator, I even have fucking wiggles patch. yet I got shit because I had a Motionless In White patch. you should ma a video addressing that kind of bullshit.
I have massive issues with Montionless in White fans and just about any fan of metalcore/deathcore/whatever core and nu-metal bands.
I will explain it the best I can and it's this
MoW puppets 3 comes out. MoW fans: OH THIS IS JUST LIKE BLACK METAL.
Me: :| You don't know shit about black metal stop calling that MoW is doing is with that song black metal.
MoW Fans: Well they are also a gothic metal band to.
Me: Do you even listen to gothic metal?
MoW: No but this is just like that they are like Marilyn Manson and he is so gothic in fact he started gothic rock and metal.
So why I can see why you get shit for it. A lot of nu-metal and core fans don't seem to give a shit about the bands that paved the way for genres such as black metal, death metal, gothic metal, doom metal, etc. They shit over them and act like Suicide Silence is the best death metal band (which they are not even death metal) and all other real death meal bands suck or they shit over the bands that started the genre.
That's my issue. You can like MoW just don't be one of those fans that think that MoW is gothic. They are not. Don't think that they are one of those bands that is playing black metal on Black Damask. Because guess what it's not.
don't pay attention to them dude they're 13 year old girls that think they're hard asses. I like Motionless but at least I know my genres
thanks for your input on what you think of the subject
I love your videos! And I agree, it's not like it affects my life that someone I dislike likes what I like. Would you do a video on your top 5 favorite thrash and metal bands? That'd be rad!
you always make good points in your videos :)
+Blackmetal werewolf I was thinking about getting into death any song recommendations
If pop stars wear metal band shirts then their fans who'd never listen that music start doing it too because it's the in trend. But these people are fickle; as trends come and go what they wear will change so I'm not too worried. In the meantime bands and merchandisers get more money for their work which is cool.
I fucking love heidevolk! First song i heard was there vulgaris magistralis cover. Now the only album im missing is batavi.
If Justin Bieber went on tour with Behemoth I would die laughing! I would buy tickets and film it due to disbelief. =D I can imagine Justin Bieber making a speed metal yelling"Baby baby baby!!! I'll be your one and only!!!!! Or you'll die!!!!!!!!!!!" Lol. =D
lmao
+Doris Mart =D
Biebergal!
+Jakub Zdzienicki Satanic Love songs. 😍
If that would ever happen...I'll start the world war 3
I think that's what pop stars are trying to do....to make people like them more! They just lie! I think pop stars just do it for attention! rihanna said that she liked Slipknot in one interview and the interviewer said witch song and she said she "Forgot" the song names from Slipknot!
Hey black metal werewolf, can you do a tutorial video on learning how to sew patches on a vest. I'm really having trouble
Im going to see Amon Amarth, Behemoth and Grand Magus in december, helsinki. Anyone else heading there? Any tips for me? Its one of my first shows so im a bit nervous about going, im a bit shy.
3:24 wow I wish I heard that in elementary school, this incarnation of Satan named Joni was the biggest bully in the history of bullies, and I mean breaking a kid's LEG bully. If she got white milk for lunch, SJ and I would get chocolate, and vice versa. We also swore not to walk over her spot on the carpet, and all that shit. She moved away in 6th, though. Best day of my life
Raise your hand if you've ever seen a popper saying they like HM and then they play Japanese baby metal
Disco Badger thankfully I haven't
I'm super glad I never had seen no shit like that I'm also happy I never heard Japanese baby metal that sounds like it SUCKS
I like it and it's good. In the song 'line!' It has rap, death metal growls, and so much more. Listen to the sing Gimme Chocolate and maybe you'll change your mind. I'm not forcing you to but if you don't like it, I respect your opinion.
@@acespades8209 baby metal...girl group fronting a metal band...it's called something else in Japan...
I didn't realize that people were only allowed to like one genre of music? Or that musicians were only allowed to listen to the kind of music they make? 😒
The "True Fans" Mentality and Gatekeeping Mentality is such petty bullshit.
I find those these type of things funny. Lady Gaga' favorite band is Iron Maiden
Honestly with how she dresses up sometimes for shows and music videos I’m not surprised she likes metal
hey i was wondering if you could do a video about female singers or female band in heavy metal and tell us your favorite female singers in heavy metal
I listen to Cradle of Filth - From The Cradle to Enslave then I'll listen to Justin Bieber - Boyfriend... I'm gonna listen to all the fucking music I want.
Yeah fuck what people say
Woow you're so diverse!
+ßub-ßißLord Rooqckusß Haha, exactly my thoughts.
bieber still sucks
I make it a mission before buying band merch to have the album have on the t shirt.
I love your videos so much
Oeh Heidevolk, that one is a classic here in the Netherlands. Especially "Vulgaris Magistralis" look up the video of it (it has english subs) the humour in it is glorious.
love your videos dude! YOU STAY BRUTAL AS WELL \m/
Hell yes, Heidevolk! I love those guys. Their 'Uit Ode Grond' album is really good, too.
Dude I just picked up Velua the other day as well, love me some Heidevolk, it's pretty good for running to if you're into that.
I find it hard to believe that that a pop star likes metal because its impossible to hear metal influence in their music. If they do legitimately like metal and only play pop dosnt it mean they are sell outs? (hey isn't this what pop is for?) Its hard to find a win except in the cases like Mykur and public enemy with anthrax
As long as they stay away from my festivals as performers taking away stage time from actually good bands.. I don't care what they like. And the pronunctuation was close. One of the best pronunctuations I so far heard a non Dutch person do. Kudos well deserved. =)
Bieber sells a slightly changed Marilyn Manson shirt on tour for 195$ which costed 13$ back when Manson sold it on tour..
One thing I was really pissed off with; I went to the Behemoth concert in Hong Kong and at the beginning when the support band was playing there was 2 white guys (Im only saying white cause in HK the crowd was mostly asian and im only singling them out cause they said they hate metal) talking at the bar and I heard them saying "dude metal chicks are great, they will always sleep with you!!!" I rolled my eyes and went into the pit, then after the gig I saw them talking to a girl saying they wanna take her behind the venue to smoke weed, I immeidetly ran over and pretended to know the girl (she was drunk), ask them what they wanted, they said "oh you wanna smoke weed with us? both of you come!" (then he grabbed my shoulder) i told them I heard them saying they dont even like Behemoth, they were here for the pussy and I shamed them loud enough for everyone to hear and walked the girl to the taxi. I havent seen them at a gig since.
Oh and Band recommendation:
CHECK OUT SULPHUR AEON
Death Metal from Germany, english, mostly cthulhu themed lyrics and stuff... its fucking brutal good music and anyone should check them out of you guys
Who else is a Slipknot fan
me 🤘
me
Right on fellow maggots!
Me, no shame in admitting it either, they're a fantastic band and they deserve little of the hate they get.
I'm going to their concert tomorrow :D
I thought the title said "No pop tarts allowed" HA
Haha!
Hey black metal werewolf. Have you heard UNEXPECT, and where are good places to get metal albums? I know it's really not a physical media world anymore but I still like cds
what about blues covers of metal songs or metal covers of blues songs
Do a room tour?;)
I'll be doing another cover walk with me in hell tomorrow in Australia.
When I hear a pop star likes metal I see it as a victory.
you know I never seen heavy metal music cds over here in stores or even black metal just the old school stuff like metalica iron maiden black sabbath etc
Yes, I love Heidevolk! Even more because I'm Dutch too. Saw the album in a record store a few weeks back, but it was really expensive, so shame I didn't pick it up.
Ryan Adams,the Alt-Rock/Indie Rock singer-songwriter,is a huge fan of Black and Death Metal and most other sub-genres of Metal,too.
i actually want to avoid wearing metal shirts of bands i like just to avoid annoying ahh people asking me to name three songs, calling me a poser just cause or some other sht, like literally grow up and leave me alone
gamma ray's version of 'It's a sin by petshop boys is brilliant.
I've seen Heidevolk live and they're absolutely awesome, you should check out their other albums too \m/
will u plz do another q and a
Actually I am completely fine with this. As some people wrote it would help metal music by giving profits to the bands. You can't complain about that.
I think there should be a distinction between posers, real fans, and casual listeners. I wouldn't call myself a metalhead or even a metal fan but I do like it and I do listen to it from time to time, just not enough to where I can relate to metalheads or even consider going to a metal concert.
I've seen so many kids wearing iron maiden killers shirts & misfits crimson ghost I don't even say anything to them. I just give them the horns . you can tell if they're real fans by the reaction. Btw just bought havok 'out of time' best CD I've heard in a long time
I just hate when kids do that.... especially when those rappers try to consider themselves goth or even a metalhead....
Duimen omhoog voor Heidevolk! I have their "Walhalla Wacht" and "Uit Oude Grond" albums. They're the only Dutch metal band that I know of who sings in their native language. Most of their songs are Pagan-themed and about the Norse pantheon, as well as songs about battle and the like. Very cool stuff!
The thing is, if you listen to metal as your primary (though not necessarily your only) genre of music--in other words, if you are a metalhead--then you are probably an "alternative" personality. You don't fit into mainstream society. You are probably intelligent and highly independent, setting yourself apart from the sheep. When "undesirable" elements claim to share the passion, when posers encroach upon the musical sanctuary, understandable feelings of indignation arise in the heart of the metalhead, who now faces a minor existential crisis. Ultimately, we just have to deal with it as mature adults, but I can understand why people become exasperated.
Haha I like how most metalheads assume that they are intelligent just because of their music taste. I know people who are dumber than a lamp post and they listen to classical music.
Lothar1399 shuddup I'm smrt and I liek metal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What gets me a stranger wearing a band t shirt in the middle of a street might upset these people and based on the way they look they get upset deepinside because they think they are a poser. what exactly is a poser? If they actually listen to the music and then buy a t shirt then whats wrong with that ?
I don't like listening to music that has more than half of its runtime be filled with high amplitude volume and no where to breathe in the track.
hail to you my metal listening, "sheep" hating, comrade with a powerful brain
To quote Cliff Burton “I like whatever’s good” so therefore I just listen to what I like wether it be slayer, Marty Robbins, NWA, The smiths, queen or sodom, what matters is that I like it and enjoy it
Make a video about corpse paint!
That sort of happened in the 80's with hair bands but I like a fair amount of those. I've mostly grown out of my parents music of that genre save for a few bands.
Admit it hair bands were sell out "metal" pop though some bands like Dokken were closer to the sound than others.
ProJatior what about W.A.S.P? I thought they we're pretty good
Also if they buy their band shirts it could at least benefit the band making additional profit an make more music for all of us metalheads hehe
Yeah, it only benefits the metal scene. I'm not sure why people would be upset about that...
I agree with you, Just like when Vanilla Ice went from Rap to Metal. I did not care.
The fact is, Justin Bieber did wear a Slayer shirt once
Tbh I wouldn’t be suprised if Behemoth went on tour with pop artists
People care too much about what people do... I listen to a lot of genres (metal and pop included) and that doesn't mean I'm a poser or whatever. I just enjoy different genres, why can't we just enjoy music?
i totally agree i listen to a lot of genres not just metal
Exactly.
It doesn't mean you have to wear a certain type of clothes because yo like metal neither.
that's it! Álvaro Bass
In regards to Velua, in my opinion it is perhaps the best album I have ever heard, Heidevolk are by far my favourite band of all time and that album is perfection.
This man is right.
*Why is this man right?*
*HOW IS THIS MAN RIGHT*
*WHAT IS THIS MAN*
Have you listen to conquer divide
Oh man, Heidvolk is soooo good!!
Great video dude! It truly is quite amazing how that certain section of the Metal community will spew out genuine hatred towards them for, as you said repping a Slayer shirt or something :/ I really just don't get that mindset haha
Seriously. I hate Bieber as much as the next guy, but why should anyone give a fuck if he likes Metallica or Megadeth or Cannibal Corpse or something?
+michael hall (Rwanime442) Completely baffles me dude. I'm the same, not a fan of that music and never will be but if anything I have the opposite reaction 'Huh, I see they're wearing a Pantera shirt.. That's pretty cool'
If they start buying products, that is supporting the artist. I can only think that would be a good thing for us metalheads.
I personally like blues like Jack White the Black Keys the white stripes and son house but I still find ur visa intresting
It's like oh my god Justin Bieber likes breathing! I guess that means we should stop breathing.
Lol
What's your take on pop, techno, rap and hip hop
I like a very wide range of music. From 50s Doo wop to rock to folk to swing jazz, to black metal. So if someone passes by me listening to Simon and Garfunkel, they may not ever entertain the thought that Behemoth could play immediately after them.
Someone can like Justin Bieber and like metal also. IF I was a musician, I'd be tempted to make music in so many genres it would make some people's heads spin. So if say Justin did like metal and wanted to try his hand at making metal music, I say go for it. It could be good!
good job on all your subs, I remember just a few weeks/months ago you were only at 4k. :)
fun fact: skrillex wore some burzum-shirts
