I keep running into people (both musicians and non,) who are obsessed with ST. I listen to a very wide range of music, so its odd for me that I wouldn’t like it, but the best way I can describe it is it sounds exactly how id describe AI music. Just gives me a gross feeling.
Not hating. I guess im wondering why people like it so much compared to other groups and why the hype is so big. Is it the whole secretive thing? Ghost and a thousand other groups already did that, its nothing new.
It seems like their live productions are pretty cool. But again, it really looks to be rehashed Ghost but with worse songwriting.
I think he’s a talented vocalist in his style but I personally hate his voice. I am averse to the whole getting up real close on the mic and using vocal fry and grunts to convey that you have sooo much emotion.
Again, just a Lil rant, but also wanted to spur actual discussion
Yeah I tried listening to them in an effort to find some interesting current bands and I didn’t like what I heard either. Actually I can’t even describe them lol it was that unmemorable…
To be fair, I’ve been a bit bored with music lately. I can’t help this sense like everything’s too rehashed, repetitive, I heard it before, I can predict the next few bars, the “original” was better, etc. etc. Idk if there’s something wrong with me lol. Maybe I’ve become old and out of touch😅
If you like some (melodic) death metal, give Orbit Culture a listen.
Some of my favs:
… I should probably stop here, but basically all of their songs resonate with me in some way or another. Hardly a day goes by where I don’t put on at least one of their albums
Thank you for taking the time to link these suggestions! I love melodeath and will certainly give these a try😊
My metal tastes lean decisively doom these days, but these are all modern artists who are heavy on my rotation the last year.
Check out Hand Habis for indie, or Crown Lands for some fresh heavy groove rock!
Have you tried the Black Country, New Road –related scene like Squid, English Teacher, Fontaines D.C. (it stands for Dublín City)? Or maybe Divorce, which is “normal” indie rock? And King Gizzard is usually a safe option
I’ll give those suggestions a try:)
I only know King Gizzard from that list and from what’ve I’ve heard -mainly I gave Infest the Rats’ Nest a fair listen- I do think they’re decent.
Edit: I’m liking Black Country, New Road so far! Scratches my sad girl DeathCab itch. Put on Ants From Up Here. The crescendo on the song Concorde is so gorgeous.
