Photo: oldtobegin: hauntingthechapel: Linked through this photo is the most well-researched and well-written article on how metal became a badge of pride for ironic-uber-hipsters I’ve ever read. Not recommended for fans of The Sword, Early Man, Pelican, Dragonforce, Kemado Records, or ’metalheads’ who think highly of Thurston Moore and Dave Grohl. It is long, dense and occasionally dry but if you are a fan of metal you should read this y’all, i’m really disliking this article. well-researched and well-written for sure, and lots of thought-provoking moments, and plenty of the bands in this list are certainly silly or so far off the beaten path of metal that calling them “metal” seems idiotic… BUT this article subscribes the idea i hate most in music or art or life or anything, which is that if you’re not doing it in ways X, Y, or Z, you’re OBVIOUSLY WRONG and FALSE and GET OUT YOU POSER it’s just this who watches the watchmen thing—who gets to decide what’s FALSE METAL and what’s TRVE KVLT or whatever? further, WHO CARES? when it all comes down to it we all just like what we like, we’re all just here because at some point somebody played us a record we never heard before, and we all (ideally) just wanna rock. i don’t really need some dude from finland to tell me that dave grohl is a hypocrite. and i don’t need to be made MORE self conscious in the pit or buying a record. my tastes are MINE. can people stop telling me what i’m supposed to like and who i’m supposed to believe in? please? What Jess said.  While there’s little love lost for most of the bands listed there (Dave Grohl excepted), but I’m not going to piss on someone for listening to them.

Photo: One of the very few music genres I have difficulties getting into is heavy metal. This means I can almost never tell if the clichés are ironic, or just plain bad. I have no standard, no benchmark for determining if the album cover for Deth Red Sabaoth, the first album of new material in six years by Danzig is any good. The horror typeface and interlocking casual display sans in combination with the illustration style seem to refer to horror comics and pulp novels from the sixties and seventies. If that was the intention, fine, but not for me. (via My Type of Music: Rick Ross, Sheryl Crow, Actress, Tracy Bonham, Tom Jones, Danzig | The FontFeed) Here’s a clue - metal isn’t ironic.  Here’s another clue - if you’re so bad at understanding design that your dislike for the style makes your unable to discuss it, perhaps you should rethink your pathetic attempt at being a writer about design (typography or otherwise) but hey, at least you were right about A7X being terrible with terrible cover art.

Canopy - Zenith

Finally able to get my hands on some canopy without having to ship a CD across the atlantic, w00t.  Swedish melodic death metal, if you’re unfamiliar.  Not in the canonical/gothenburg/melodeath sense, in the “yes it’s death metal, but it has memorable songs” sense.

Photo: Green Carnation - Light of Day, Day of Darkness While I’m on the subject of melancholic death metal, I felt like pulling this out.  Apparently they’re re-releasing it.  Which apparently reminded them that they were charging $0.99 for the entire album on amazon MP3 (it’s one 60 minute song) - and they removed it.  If you like CD’s, and prog rock epics, it’s still worth picking up at $9.99 ;)
