Yeah, but there is no version of "Random Waller" that isn't funny as fuck.

Proprietor of midgets sounds like the sort of thing someone might have had as a job in 1881.

Random Waller is a phrase that I never would have expected to predate video games.

 One of jakonovski's brethren thought it a good idea to set a church a on fire.  |

Getting drunk and setting churches on fire is almost a national tradition already. The Norwegians do it for the devil, we do it for the devil booze.

That's kind of an unfair chart, because aren't there only like 7 people in Finland NOT in a black metal band?

And those seven people are in black anthemic doom-ambient metal which is totally not the same thing as black metal. |

What was that site that was entirely pictures of drunks in Finnish gutters? Greetings from Helsinki or something like that.

Ok what? Is Black Metal harder than Death Metal? Like, what's the "hardest rock" now? Shit I'm old. And why the heck Finland?

Imagine death metal that you turn the bass completely off, record in a tin can, paint your face white with black leather everywhere, have a band logo that looks like unpronounceable chicken scratch, and not only sing about evil, but BE evil by burning down churches and murdering other band's members you disagree with. Instant black metal! That's mostly sarcastic stereotypes, but they exist for a reason... And why Finland? Because that part of the world is where black metal (as we know it today) originated from. |

Instant black metal! That's mostly sarcastic stereotypes, but they exist for a reason... And why Finland? Because that part of the world is where black metal (as we know it today) originated from. OK lets be real here that is a very very one sided take on black metal. This is black metal: Darkthrone - A Blaze in the Northern Sky https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Un2zVoG3NiEAnd so is this: Midnight Odyssey - shards of silver fade https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mSvk_h8X8cEmperor - Thorns on my Grave https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqw0m8B8ktQDarniaq, what is "heavy" or "the heaviest" is a very very squirrelly topic. Metal forums go round in round in circles debating what is heavy. If by Heavy you mean what is the most extreme musically then... well maybe technical death metal Origin - Finite https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIMW0aHN0ksBrain Drill - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ljgcl_TxXSoRings of Saturn - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6oSVDU_Tvgor for just WTF really dense music that is difficult to follow Gorguts - Obscura https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1X0BejwnkoGorguts - Colored Sands https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DgPGkk4HNAand those bands are just kinda off the cuff offerings. Guys and gals really into that scene would scoff at my offerings. However, Anaal Nathrach's - The Codex Necro which was released over a decade ago and has one foot firmly planted in black metal will still rip your face off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkM-bRCyzHQ Or for just heavy riffage, Electric Wizard, Ufomammut - Eve https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLHR8BrU5B0Neurosis - through silver and blood https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yp7Dz4bh5UESleep - Dopesmoker https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIw7oeZKpZcor for crazy too many string guitars Animals as leaders - CAFO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmfzWpp0hMcMeat and Potatoes Death Metal Bolt Thrower - World Eater https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekCmZDO4d8oLike I said pretty difficult to nail down what is the "heaviest" or most "extreme" or "intense" For me "heavy" is not about speed but about feel so the heaviest stuff for me is nothing new. Godflesh Spite - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SM01LzKZ0J8Love is a Dog From Hell - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zC30cDdTkecTRIPTYKON - Aurorae https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmyWeOvF_Sgand SYL's - City deserves a nod https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZAKk3kxI1oOk totally going overboard with this. If you want to just hear something that was released recently and that will just make your jaw drop, is super heavy but is not metal: Moon Hooch + Too Many Zooz = Moon Zooz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xH77nSy0t6QTL;DR - Heavy is totally open to interpretation |

Holy crap, thanks man! I appreciate this rundown. Got my night planned out going through this. Cheers glad you appreciate it. I realized after a couple glasses of wine that I was going a bit overboard, but in for a penny in for a pound. I really tried to keep it short and I skipped many "mandatory" bands/genres but already I am thinking "I should have included X, and Y, and maybe Z" anyways a recent release by a band that I think is amazing, but gets looked over by many simply because of their name. A Greek band by the name of Rotting Christ Rotting Christ - The Four Horsemen (Rituals 2016) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4wwM7ZTEW8Oh and for those who find the crazy vocals too much, a great entry band is Deafheaven, for whatever reason this band is a great way to ease your way into "extreme metal" I could ramble about the reasons why, but Elf needs sleep badly Deafheaven - Sunbather (yep they have a newer album but this is a great intro) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4wwM7ZTEW8and for a retro flashback that was mentioned on this forum some years ago. Pig Destroyer really just about any of their albums will make your pulse quicken. Concept album Natasha, or Terrifyer, or Phantom limb etc. anyways..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Kqf6vtQmPQoh and if you have the time check out: Lords of Chaos - the book Until the Light Takes us - Docu (so so) the Florida Death Metal Scene: Death, Morbid Angel etc. and the band Cynic look at their album Focus and then ponder about that 1993 release date... Ok now I have gone way too preachy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHA8JyIzaBE |

Part of me wants to paint that old 'baseball bat flying into the crowd' pic as a renaissance painting. Luckily, the lazy part of me is much stronger.

I do love the fact that everyone around him that notices him being choked is smiling and jostling for a better view. Even the big guy right beside him with the halo.
