Doing everything exactly opposite from "The Mainstream" is the same thing as doing everything exactly like "The Mainstream."  You're still using What Everyone Else is Doing as your primary point of reference.

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?

They do suck.  Sentenced were way better at the gloomy goth-metal thing, but sadly, didn't get the attention HIM got.

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.
