Indeed, this is not just simply another Christian "black" metal act. This is worse than any straightforward Christian "black" metal, because this utter bullshit is masquerading as the "new black metal that is pushing the boundaries and will save black metal, taking it to another level." Complete bullshit. This is Christian metal, disguised in the name of "Satan," appealing to the mindless sheep that cannot grasp the idea of what real black metal is. This is built upon bullshit ideology, with no musical substance that will make it worthy of a listen. This, along with the entire "Orthodox black metal" garbage, should be forgotten. THIS is the worst offense black metal can ever receive, not Christian "black" metal. Theism has no place in black metal, and theistic bands cannot be called black metal no matter how much they try to emulate the aesthetics of black metal. One can only guess whether they are genuine about their faith in Satan as a deity or just in for the money and fame. But one thing is clear: those theistic bands are highly reprehensible either way. The "Orthodox" trend should be eradicated.

Again, I repeat: this is not black metal. This is Christian music.

What are your thoughts on pic related?
I never see this album talked about, and it's probably one of the best of the small number of thrash albums that came out in the 2000's.
You know what, fuck it, I feel confident saying that this is the best thrash metal (albeit progressive thrash) in the last two decades.
What do you guys think?

What the FUCK?! I mean WHAT THE FUCK are you thinking?! NSBM?! Do you have any, ANY FUCKING IDEA what NSBM is? NATIONAL SOCIALISM BLACK METAL. Fucking NAZIs making black metal. An ideology that amounts to nothing but racism, sexism, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, HATE AND INTOLERANCE!!! You know how many people the NAZIs killed? 12 million people rounded up and died at the hands of the people who founded this ideology that these FUCKBOYS support. As a Maoist I find this horribly offensive. Where is all the Communist black metal? All the Maoist black metal? Black metal is a form of music that was a direct rebellion against Christian values. NAZIs were CHRISTIANS YOU IDIOT! THIS IS A MASSIVE CONTRADICTION! THE REJECTION OF CHRISTIANITY IS EMBRACING THE EQUALITY THAT COMMUNISM STANDS FOR. THE END OF RACISM, SEXISM, HOMOPHOBIA, TRANSPHOBIA AND CLASSISM! THE THINGS MAO FOUGHT FOR!

That's it. I am done DONE with this general. They need to start banning this nazi shit and sending all of you fuckboys who allow this problematic shit and perpetuate the nazi ideology back to /pol/ and then doxxing every single one of you. This general has been going downhill for a long time but constantly posting HATEFUL AND OFFENSIVE styles of music is the final straw. I'm out of here, I'm done I'M GONE!

have you even seen the interviews from a thread a few months ago? dir en grey literally don't write their music at all, and when they're asked about their music they read from a script.

http://www.hellodamage.com/top/2010/03/01/interview-with-an-ex-visual-kei-record-executive/

>1 guy wrote music for 10 bands
>"most of these bands can't write songs"
>"they script your between-song banter so you don't sound like an idiot"
>"A typical visual kei performer is an ex-bosozoku or ex-chinpira, a high-school drop out"
>"In the beginning, one of the things I found the most ironic, was these band members: these very tough-talking street guys, playing these very femme-y, androgynous roles which were straight out of a shojo manga"
>"the label owner sets his sights on the best members from 3 or 4 small, go-nowhere bands, and tries to persuade them to leave their bands and form a super-band"
>"I can give you an example l:DIR EN GREY is made up of members from a few bands"
>""'Roadie chains' are another interesting phenomenon of Visual Kei! Here's one example: KOROYUME was a band, their roadies went on to form dir en grey, which had the same image! And Dir en Grey's roadies formed a band called THE GAZETTE. Another example. . .MALICE MIZER's roadie was named Kamijo(the vocalist for versailles) - a year later, he was in his own band called LAREIME, which looked and sounded like MALICE MIZER. In fact, he started a label called ARTIST'S SOCIETY, and all the bands on that label sound like MALICE MIZER (because he's the producer - he wrote all the music!)"
>""SATOH-SAN: There's lots of stories about musicians prostituting themselves. TDR:"You mean prostitute as in host club? Or as in, they got an ad in the back of gay pornos in the OUTCALL MASSAGE section? SATOH-SAN: Well, six of one, half a dozen the other"

You're living in denial though, DEG is definitely unique but they're by no means innaccessible or experimental, a lot of what they write in each of their eras borrows heavily from j-rock (early stuff), nu-metal/buttrock (middle stuff), and metalcore/deathcore (later stuff).

dir en grey don't talk about their music unless they're being interviewed by official sources. why? they don't know anything about songwriting and read from a script off screen.

>>
>>63780530
It's not like that at all with dir en grey and you'd know if you actually read the full interview, dir en grey was made up of the most talented band members from a few bands which were selected by the label, since they were the best members in those select bands and they themselves have shit-talked the vk scene in the past, it's highly unlikely that they ever got songs written for them

They don't want people to know that most modern visual kei/jap metal musicians are talentless hacks so they put on the illusion that they know that they're talking about.

yoshiki from x-japan and kamijo from versailles write the music for the vast majority of all popular modern gook metal. DEG just plays what what yoshiki and kamijo write for them.

Well even if you think that they get their music written for them, it's very unlikely that it gets written by yoshiki or kamijo, since what I got from the interview is that they write the music for the bands of their own label only

>>
>>63780809
To be fair, it's not exclusively just a yoshiki and kamijo thing. They made the idea of labels writing or just controlling what their bands do popular and other labels started to do what they do. Even if their music isn't written for them, it's still controlled, you'll notice that a lot of members in these "super-groups" (dir en grey and the like) all come from bands that sound nothing like Dir en Grey. It's pretty obvious they have no freedom over what they do.

>>63780827
What the fuck are you talking about? I'm a fan of gook metal, it's just a fact that most modern mainstream gook metal is written by labels and the people playing the music just play the music.
>>
>>63780889
You type a lot of bullshit and you provide zero evidence to your crap. So why the hell would anyone even read your shit? Gimme some info that shows Arche was written by a label and just mass produced. I'll wait.

>>
>>63780889
What? Dir en grey started off as a jrock band and evolved throughout the years. You can hear elements of their stylistic changes as you go on through timme.

>just a fact that most modern mainstream gook metal is written by labels
Can you even name the most popular Jap metal bands from the past five years or so?

Nobody implied that they weren't a jrock band that evolved throughout the years.

The times of their stylistic changes match up with trends appearing in japanese and western mainstream metal.

Dir en grey was like 5-10 years late to nu-metal and started the whole thing visual kei/nu-metal in nipland. Uroborus and onward obviously doesn't follow any trends either.

You're probably unaware, but the majority of mainstream bands start off as independent nobodies (including Galneryus) before they get signed to a big label. There's not a big conspiracy.
>>
>>63781185
dir en grey started doing nu-metal at nu-metal's peak in Japan though.

Idol and boy groups are obviously put together by labels; nobody is disputing that point.

This. I didn't think this was that obscure or controversial of information, I've had this same argument on /mu/, /jp/ and /a/ for years now.

>>63781216
Dir en Grey and a good chunk of newer visual kei metal are idol and boy groups.

if they initially popped up and gained traction out of no where with great production, expensive costumes and music videos odds are it's a boy group.
>>
>>63781226
You answered your own question, the only problem with pantera is that they're popular
>>
>>63781208
>citation needed
Most of the big name rock bands at the time (L'arc en ciel, Luna Sea, etc.) went the alt-rock route.

>>63781253
Dir en grey didn't come out of nowhere though. They had independent releases before making it onto Sony.
>>
>>63781226
what do you mean by pantera-tier?
>>
>>63781253
Even if they were made from a label just to sell shit, they pretty much threw that away after Vulgar and then completely dismissed it after Marrow of a Bone. Besides, as much as I love all their stuff, the newer shit is miles better.
So even if your bullshit is credible somehow, why does it matter?

It's very suspicious. Their j-rock stuff just appeared in the gook mainstream even though they were just a no-name band with no following. There was no build-up or discovery of them, they just appeared. That's one of the tell-tale signs.

>>63781320
>>omgg this band is just a fake label group so I can't even listen to them ever no matter how talented they are!
Where the fuck did I say this? I never said dir en grey are bad, I listen to them and like them a lot. I just acknowledge that their band members just play the music given to them and that people behind the curtains write their music.

You have no idea what you are talking about. They released Missa and Jealous which helped get a decent following of fans. Then "I'll" was what broke them into the mainstream and got them a good record deal with free will for their first album. Then later they went under Sony.

>dir en grey didn't come out of no where though. They had independent releases before making it onto Sony
they literally formed because labels and people in the scene found promising musicians in random budding bands and convinced them to join a super-group.
>>
>>63781415
The only one that wasn't with La;sadies is Toshiya. So Dir en Grey is just La:sadies with a better bass player and a new coat of paint.
>>
>>63781435
la:sadies is one of those kind of groups though, prior to then most of them were promising no-names doing their things in bands that will get no where.

you'll notice that nearly every VK band that pops up somehow have a large budget than what you'd expect from a new band, and generally have their members cherrypicked by random no-name bands.
>>
>>63781499
from random no-name bands*
>>
>>63781415
La:sadies had no releases and DEG's first release, Missa, was released independently. They kicked out Kisaki because he didn't feel they were ready to record but everyone else disagreed with him (thank fuck).
>>
>>63781627
La:sadies had a couple of singles and demo tapes, but nothing more.
Though there is speculation they put out an EP.
>>
ayy all of you are retarded on both sides.

initially DEG was written and funded by other musicians but as they grew more popular they cut ties with these people, which is why they've grown a lot more progressive with a lot less of a mainstream-friendly sound compared to their j-rock and earlier metal material.

thanks

a lot of newer mainstream jap metal bands start their lives owned by bigger names or labels, some of them aren't even officially on labels but are still being used

once they gain traction and a large enough of a fanbase on their own they usually split away from the people who own them and start writing their own stuff

it's pretty much what happened to DEG and a bunch of other bands

You're not special and listening to metal and being interested in dark subjects does not make you special nor an anomaly for not becoming an emo for doing it.
