to be honest I understand what doc means, I dont relate to this kind of music, I found it hard to, at the same time, on the other side of the spectrum there is a lot of latin ¨music¨ that most relate to and enjoy but I think is just no sense noise, to me of course is something subjective, but at the same time is about peoples reaction to the music, while I absolute hate reggaeton most people enjoy the dance and have a good time, this black metalers...what are they all about? who hate the most ? people in the first world have too much free time in their hands.

It comes down to different tastes. And like it has been mentioned, it is all subjective.

Everyone's palate in music is varied and is built upon their social upbringing and life experiences.

In my case, I am the biggest Power Metal fan but I have been slowly (through the years) been introducing more and more Black Metal into my playlist. Now I listen to Freedom Call directly followed by Sear Bliss. Both are excellent artists, both are just different colors of the spectrum.

I have always compared heavy metal to wine. First time you try it you're all disgusted, but the more you drink it, the more you appreciate it. Perhaps you don't like that the 2003 vintage or find the 2007 to be too sour or taste too oaky, but you cannot ignore that it is just your or perhaps that day. Who knows if in 5 years you'll try it and find it to be an other-worldly experience?

Besides, I am pretty sure that whatever you listen to is despised by the majority of your countrymen (original country that is) Doc. In general, the majority of the population considers what we listen to to be non-sense.

However, since we (heavy metallers) have been submitted to this narrow mentality for as long as the genre has existed, we should be in the vanguard of a more accepting attitude. Specially for sub-genres of that music that unites us so much.

Or were you just trolling?

***Immortal rocks, by the way. Very Happy

I don't think the majority of my countrymen despise Stratovarius. I made my mom listen to Black Diamond, and she liked it, and my mom doesn't have much experience in western music.

About your wine argument, I think music in general is like wine. But I think that you need to drink a lot of Immortal to enjoy it, compared to other more mainstream music.

And no, I wasn't trolling lol. I rarely troll

LOL at you if you've never listened to the masterpiece that is Dimmu's puritanical. Laughing
