Love the light on that shot! I hope you’ll keep going with the hobby!
Here are a few things:
Have fun, but beware! It’s a deep, deep rabbit hole.
I would like to know too! Never saw that writing system before.
Genuinely useful post! Thanks for sharing these links!
These albums are pretty well known, but:
The Rotting Christ song you’re referring make me think of the Monotheist album from Celtic Frost.
The Nile song doesn’t have much metal left into it imo. You should then check what Heilung or Wardruna are doing.
In the same vibe, I’d recommend Reverb, from Bataille. Not very dark either though.
Man, labels are hard, and rock and metal have a ton of overlapping ones, making it even more difficult to see what it going on.
Here is my two cents: it is more about the influences, what the band itself claims, the general public consensus and the history rather than about the music itself. In my mind, two bands could play the exact same music and be classified into two completely different categories if the extra-musical elements are different enough.
Here are some examples I have on the top of my head:
The claim that “anything that isn’t death or black isn’t real metal” seems difficult to hold to me. If you want to talk about “pure” metal, i.e. without external influences, the heavy, thrash, doom and power -at least- should be included imo.
I don’t know enough about some of the bands that you are talking about in your post but another point that might help you is about the term “heavy metal” itself. In my mind, that that is again only my opinion, “heavy metal” is a tag that includes an aesthetic and a style of riffing and composition particularly attached to a period (1980’s), but the “heaviness” of the band is not a criteria at all.
Eventually, it also comes down to the way you feel about a band. If you think that a band should be labeled in a way, because they make you think of other bands labeled in the same way, nobody can stop you. ¯_(ツ)_/¯-
This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for sharing!
