Metallian Keeps You Up To Speed With The Hipness
Metallian Presents: Latest Trends – Sheeple Edition – 15.12.2024
The clink and clang of lemmings on the metal scene migrating from one trend to another has reached ear-splitting levels. Instead of fulfilling the original purpose and meaning of heavy metal, the scene is overrun by clichés, common habits and copycats. Once an expression of extremeness, individuality and good taste, heavy metal’s nonconformist, fringe, extreme subculture is now riddled with posers who obey convention after convention. Every musician, band, label and media type abides by the rules everybody else does. When metal became a list of clichéd tropes is up for discussion. What is not disputed is the watered-down nature of the music of the gods. See how many derivative and same-old, same-old elements you recognize.
