i know i know...
i start to many blogs with 'what the hell's wrong with you guys?!? but today it really fits...again...
nowadays, metal is strictly ordered and categorised. there are dozens of genres and subgenres and the assignement of a band to one of them is a question discussed to an almost religious degree. so in some kind of way music gets quantified. there is one genre alpha and another genre beta and nothing between them. this is the 'merit' of modern music journalism. when a band is founded they first reflect about the question which kind of music they wanna play. they don't play 'freely' anymore - they try to fit in the raster of genres. so the bands became more similiar.
some other bands try to establish their own genre...like 'fireforce' (true power metal).
who the fuck cares what you play as long as it blows up your listeners eyeballs?
so i adress this to all metal out there: what the hell is wrong with you?
it s bad enough to accept the stupid categories the journalists impose - but to wanna fit in is even worse.
be yourself, express yourself - blow us away!
thats the 'true' meaning of metal.
and to all the journalists out there: shut the fuck up and bang your head \m/
