| _________________________________________ [Jul 24,2011 4:53pm - bobnomaamrooney ""] Because really, how authentic is it to write music reacting negatively to modernity/commodification/western excesses and glomming onto Scion? Self-defeating bullshit, your music is meaningless. |

They sponsor metal shows, I suppose? I know next to nothing about black metal, but came across a post on the innerwebs about this band, listened, and was intrigued. I dig the public discourse though. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 24,2011 5:14pm - Chriskar ""] Scion sponsored liturgy shows, these dudes tie liturgy to deafheaven because they're not cvlt, therefore deafheaven is sponsored by scion. Make sense? |

| _________________________________ [Jul 24,2011 5:16pm - RustyPS ""] My take on the whole Scion thing, it's not like Scion is saying "change your sound or you don't get any of our money." Also, it's not like anybody who is in a band wouldn't take money from a company when they're not trying to control your style/image, so I guess I don't understand why Scion and bands that get sponsored by them get vilified for it. I can't speak on Deafheaven specifically because I have yet to hear them, but it seems foolish to me that bands like Magrudergrind catch shit for linking up with Scion. |

That was pure awful. Still I liked Deafheaven, and Krallice was eeeeeright. Not earth shattering. Moving on to Wittr now. |
| _________________________________________ [Jul 24,2011 5:19pm - bobnomaamrooney ""] Promoting Scion with your anticapitalist grindcore band is the 2010's version of Rage Against the Machine being on Sony. Undercutting the message is real. |

This is what was running through my head when researching the Scion thing. You can't blame a band for wanting to get paid (unless, of course, they have strong anticapitalist sentiments or whatever, then its hypocritical). BUT. I have yet to find any evidence of Deafheaven being linked to Scion, and a read-through of their lyrics didn't turn up anything that would put them at odds with receiving money from a corporation that offered it (if that would come to pass). Deathwish seems like a decent label, as labels go. For a band that only claims to be influenced by bm as opposed to having a frontman who wrote a faggy thesis about redefining/improving the genre entirely, I don't see the justification for lumping them in with Liturgy. But then again, I am new to this shit. |

| ____________________________________ [Jul 24,2011 5:30pm - arilliusbm ""] Everything. If you're looking for "BLACK METAL" then you're reading the wrong book, watching the wrong channel, listening to the wrong bands. Discover the roots of the sound, then follow the roots to today. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 24,2011 5:33pm - arilliusbm ""] If you're looking for that modernized hybrid atmospheric post rock with black metal influence then keep listening to these bands. I know nothing of you, what bands you enjoy, or if you are a ploy to psychologically test rttp's take on this style of metal. Again, if you're looking for "black metal" , discover the roots. Work your way up. Anyone that doesn't listen to 1st and 2nd wave bands just doesnt get it. |

If you're looking for "BLACK METAL" then you're reading the wrong book, watching the wrong channel, listening to the wrong bands. Discover the roots of the sound, then follow the roots to today. To be fair, I was never looking for black metal. An acquaintance posted a song online, which I listened to out of curiosity. I ended up really enjoying it, and going out to find the album it came from. I had no preconceived notions of genre, and people seem to be fairly split on whether or not this band strives to produce a "black metal" sound. The only thing that seems evident is black metal being influential on their sound. I am listening to Bathory at the moment, and it doesn't strike me all that well. It seems somewhat contrived, as if its supremely evident that they're going for an 'epic' sound. Not to say that its bad, just not musically intriguing to my ears. I'd just rather spend my time listening to other things, I guess. |

It's manipulative and deceitful in every sense of the word and bands who let Scion release their music are throwing the entire underground under the bus. |

Accepting corporate help is like saying that DIY is simply not worth saving. Well, while I agree with most of what you said, "the root of the problem" is not exactly easy to resolve at all. Try to get more than 3 random people to agree to do anything, it's like fucking rocket science. i bet you ask 10 random people that go to a show to accept what you say, and 7 of them will laugh in your face, and/or say fuck no, I got bills to pay. Truth of the matter is, prices are going up for everyone, not just bands, and bands, no matter if you think they're great or not, are the ones who sacrifice the most for shows. This is going to sound like me bitching about being in a band, but I don't care. Most bands don't have roadies to load their equipment in and out, most bands don't have a sound guy to make sure they sound like they want to sound, most bands don't get paid to play a show they went an hour+ out of their way to play just so people get to hear them that aren't the same 10-15 people that show up to every other show they play, and if they do get paid, they're lucky if they get more than $20. If Scion approached Crippling Fear tomorrow, and said, "hey, we want you to play a show down in Florida, all expenses paid, and you can play whatever the fuck you want," I'd say fucking sign me up, and I guarantee 99.9% of bands would do the same if given the opportunity, no matter what their beliefs/ethics/morals are. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 24,2011 7:08pm - Lamp nli ""] See, that's my point though! The only difference between what you and I are saying is that you believe it's impossible (or at the very least more difficult than it's worth) for people to work together in the underground without help from a powerful outside source. In all honesty, I wouldn't even mind if there were less people at shows. Get the people looking for a cheap party the fuck out of the scene and give it back to the dedicated fans who will pay whatever it takes to sustain the music. Bands need to be compensated more, I think anyone who cares about music can agree on that. The problem is fucks who don't care. I'd be in favor of more small shows full of people who paid without bitching and actually watch the bands. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 24,2011 7:10pm - Lamp nli ""] Another thing to me is that it's an issue of trust. Scion is being benevolent to us now, but for how long? I don't believe that Scion's intentions are pure and I think it's only a matter of time before they start asking for something back. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 24,2011 7:43pm - RustyPS ""] Hey, I'm not saying it's impossible. The DIY scene survived and thrived well before Scion came along. What I'm saying is if an "outside source" can help out bands while those bands don't have to let go of what they believe, then I say more power to them. Also, to respond to the part you said about getting people who aren't dedicated out of the scene, I say that's not the right way to look at it. The reason I say that is the amount of people who are truly dedicated fans are nowhere near as close to the number it was 10-15 years ago. You segregate those who aren't truly dedicated, and bands lose out even more. People who book tend to pay attention to how many people a band can bring in, and the less people that show up, no matter how "dedicated" they are, the less likely a booker will book that band again. It's all about the bottom line to anyone and everyone now, which is sad, but it's also the absolute truth. So I say, why not accept help from someone who's willing to help without trying to change what you're doing? |

I just know that this band has generated some controversy so I wanted to gauge the reaction of a forum populated with metal fans. And to get an idea of why they are hated. |

They were around in the height of the let's play emo and call it "melodic hardcore" era but they were really just a bunch of geeks that acted like they were covering Our God is an Awesome God every single song... That's what I feel like I just watched. holy shit, what a bunch of phagz..why is this suppose to be black metal again? |

Spaldino said:echo/reverb post rock guitar line + garbage blasts + dissonant black metal chords + yeah, look, many bands mix genres effectively. this band may sound great to some people, but old fucks can tell when bands paste shoegaze, post-rock, crust, and blast beats together and call it "atmospheric" and "not black metal, we just like the sound" like they're offering an APOLOGY for writing derivative music. heard this shit a thousand times by different and better bands. i just hear 5 dudes playing nothing much, really loud. |

| ___________________________________ [Jul 25,2011 3:45pm - Czarnobog ""] just listened to this band now. meh. all these "post-black" bands are just like all the "post-crust" ones trying to cash in these days. all heaviness/aggressiveness or ambience/epic-ness (or fuck it, actual feeling behind the music) has been totally neutered by over-use of pedal effects and slick production in my opinion. i don't even care that much about the hipster image or how popular they are. just sounds bland to me. |

Inspired, sure... I like what I heard but I'm not in love with it. I looked into a few interviews and I think the only people actually labeling them as a "black metal act" are people reviewing their CD/Demo and others who are suggesting them to their friends. Don't worry boys, I don't see them touring with 1349 anytime soon! |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 8,2011 4:34am - Randy_Marsh ""] Just by seeing the album artwork and description I didn't think this band would be that bad or retarded but man this band is ghey as hell. Like what the fuck is that singer thinking being that phaggy on stage? I wish hipster music just stayed with indie alt rock. |
