Great articulation of what many are probably thinking. Metal is more than screaming and double bass, for those interested in the genre it is as varied as jazz, rock or country in its complexity and variety. To each his own.
well I havent gotten any hate on this forum , but the thing in my area is that most people are quite conservationist and do not want to venture into unspecified areas , therefore the term 'hate' , The metal scene in India is slowly growing but currently metalheads face a lot of dissent in all the musical communities.
Ah, that explains a lot. People everywhere are afraid of anything they don’t comprehend or understand. Metal can sound intimidating and aggressive to those unfamiliar with the sound, I wouldn’t think it is hate, rather apprehension to the unfamiliar sounds. Americans have gone through several periods of attempted rejection of musical expression by the authorities which have all melted away with popularity of the people.
aha the last one is great. But twice the effort also culminates in twice the endorphins , DOUBLE THE HIGH!!! plus i mean who wouldnt want to add blast beats to every single song created? LOL , Metronomic yes , but however dynamics are quite there. New bands such as Mgla is it still new? and aborted have groovy drummers who bring metal out in its finest. And well if u want some great grooves with a fusion of blasts do check out benighted. The things u did mention have a certain weight in the casual metal song , but none of it defines the true intent of metal. WORSHIPPING SATAN MWAHHAHAHAHA. Just kidding it helps a person express their feelings just by listening to it.
I threw that in for kicks, although there was a time where playing records backwards to check for hidden messages was a noble task. Some still believe in the myth - nevermind that even IF there was intentional messages there, people won't hear them when records are played in their intentional direction - forward.
And there lies the real rub here. Those of us playing jazz see the metal genre as an infection that should be avoided at all costs for precisely the reason that we don't want to get used to those endorphins for fear it will infect into the rest of our playing. And I would add just about every other genre out there.
well its not the endorphins of metal , its the endorphins of drumming at the fastest tempo humanely possible , all you need to do is to remind yourself that blast beats technically originate from jazz , as do so many other licks in metal. The brain is capable of different thought processes and here they should be applied.
I will try that for sure! Thank you!
