After reading a short article on Metal Undeground about metal and image, then debating people in the comment
section, I decided to make my opinions fully known here on my own personal soap
box. The author brought up 2 up and coming bands that are flown under the metal
flag, Ghost and Ancient VVisdom, whom are not the typical metal band that would
fit a bill with Sodom or Autopsy. They have the look, they have the lyrical
inspiration, but do they have the sonic capabilities to be considered
"metal"? In that line of thinking, what does it actually mean to be
metal? Is it being fast and furious? Is it soaring vocals? Is it twin guitar
harmonies that shred the living daylights out of mere mortals? Is it corpse
paint that brings to mind the living dead? The answer............who the hell
knows!?!?!
Ancient VVisdom – “The Opposition”
