TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Turisas, they are definitely a very energetic band.


Band in a somewhat similar vein, also from Finland, is Korpiklaani.  Though, they are even more folky and don't do the harsh vocals.  In fact, they basically started as a pure folk band called Shaman, and then decided to become a metal band.  If you like metal songs about alcohol, they are your band.

I like them but they're pretty cheesy. Manly needs and all.

I can't tell what it IS, anymore.  What is called metal now doesn't seem very metal.

I'm getting the impression that there is a great deal of overlap between "Metal" and "Fabulous".

ManoWar is the manliest band known to man; I grow a beard every time I listen to them.

Makes me wonder what if that had stuck with their original plan of making music not catering to lonely fat girls who shop at Hot Topic.

That smiley looks a bit sad.

Isn't that why people bash H.I.M because they "suck", "or because his music caters to fat girls"?

I'm a H.I.M fan , but I'm also not a rabid fanboi.
Feels like I'm missing something here?
That or you took me posting ManoWar very seriously?


AFK

They do suck.  Sentenced were way better at the gloomy goth-metal thing, but sadly, didn't get the attention HIM got.
Cynicism is a blank check for failure.

Fat chicks thing.

ETA: Also, I was drunk last night. Got more offended than I should have at that. You could have just said teenage girls. Calling them fat has nothing to do with their musical tastes, or lack thereof.

Metal is Lemmy.  Lemmy is metal.  Anything else is judged - harshly - by how far away from Lemmy it may be.

Today's "metal"? 

DO YOU THINK YOU'D EVER HEAR LEMMY SING ABOUT A WIZARD'S DREAM?  FUCK NO, AND HE'D KILL YOU WITH HIS MOLE IF YOU EVER SUGGESTED IT.
