So if I remember shit right
Linus is actually the same person as Norsecorefag, who was most notable at the time for spamming Dark Funeral, and having the same argument with Hector everyday over whether Snorre or "Oystein" (jfc) created black metal.
If my assumption is right, then I guess I appreciate that he's finally moved on to a new gimmick, at least.

Prog metal and atmoblack are genres that make them feel smart/eclectic without having to do anything. It's like how back in the day, your parents or grandparents might buy a classical "pops" record or a Pavarotti compilation so they felt cultured but wouldn't need to dedicate their attention to an entire work.

The good moments in Opeth are crippled by their gimmick of flip-flopping between clean and harsh parts to feign dynamic or proficient songwriting. I'd pick any of the death-prog Opeth albums over Focus or Absolute Elsewhere, but it's still gateway pseudo-extreme metal that I have less and less tolerance for.

>Some glam bands like SLUT are also rejected
because almost all glam is rooted in rock music and not heavy metal. that song you posted is metal, yeah, but that's one song. while i'm not sure on the EXACT ratio to be added, it's a safe bet that if a record has less than 60-65% metal it won't get included there

gotta disagree, while i think sin after sin is a great album i've never really given a shit about last rose of summer. it's a decent ballad, sure, but it never goes above that. in comparison stained class i love every song off of it and it's probably my favorite album of all time next to deep purple - in rock
>>127321293
any reason why this album seems to be so elusive? it'd be one thing if it weren't on streaming (which it isn't), but there's hardly any uploads of it on YT at all; and none in high quality. what's the deal with that?

Fair point even though I still disagree with you on it being better than Sad Wings or Sin. And I also disagree with you about last rose of summer.
I just think Stained Class sort of starts and ends with Beyond the Realms of Death (because you know come on its just a massive song) and Saints in Hell (for being unusally doomy for a Priest track with that uptempo proto-thrash part thrown in as well) in there somewhere being the only tracks that really makes me raise an eyebrow.
Its not like Exciter does anything groundbreaking that Motörheads Overkill did around the same time.

normies? no. but i would expect someone into power metal to be aware of them. unless by "power metal" you mean sabaton. emperor are probably the biggest name after mayhem, burzum, darkthrone, and immortal.

I'd guess the oxygen mask is to make his vocal practice easier since he's so old at this point. You can say anything with a contextless clip.

i see where you're coming from, and while i agree that it's a masterpiece of a song...i wouldn't call it my favorite off the album. that award goes to exciter. (BytRoD is #2, and i also really like heroes end, particularly the main riff. it's really simple but i love how they got a simple hard rock riff to sound menacing, i'm not smart enough to tell you why though lol)
>in there somewhere being the only tracks that really makes me raise an eyebrow.
fair enough! i wouldn't say it's a particularly revolutionary album, but it makes up for it by in my opinion just being incredibly well-performed and written metal. :)

I've never seen reddit mention 4chan. normies think 4chan is just /pol/ and /b/, or they don't know it exists.

I've never seen a good lineup for a rock/metal festival on the west coast. sucks to be a caliphonyian

Of course The Story So Far and Neck Deel are headlining the same show. That will be the least metal of all the nights
