I always knew you were a phony art ***.

If you can't listen to music ironically, you really don't understand art at all.

Listening to music ironically is for poseurs. Loving music ironically is for real humans.

These guys are hit and miss, but there's some serious power metal gems scattered around their discography.

I'm totally fine with missing the gems if it means I don't have to listen to Edguy. They feel like Dragonforce if they knew how to write songs but still sucked like Dragonforce.

I love how ridiculous and self-aware Reverend Bizarre are. They only have three full-lengths, but all those albums are over an hour long and one is a two-hour-long double album. And then they got a ****load of EPs, and this one, Harbinger of Metal (best ironic name for a doom album ever) is a few seconds shorter than their first album, and half-a-minute longer than their second. It's basically their real second album. With only three albums you'd think they'd have a limited amount of material, but there's as much Reverend Bizarre out there for anybody who wants it. And Reverend Bizarre have fun with that ****.

And Harbinger of Metal has a trad doom cover of "Dunkelheit". Which clocks in at a breezy 12 minutes. Cause Reverend Bizarre ****ing rule.

And this is one of the most righteous stoner metal tracks ever, along with like two other songs on their second album, II: Crush the Insects *headbang emoticon*

Trip-trip-triple post. Honestly Pleasure to Kill a lot of times feels like the 1986 answer to Show No Mercy. It's cool as ****, but Show No Mercy honestly has it beat for raw metal primitivism, sick riffs, and Tom ****ing Araya. You heard it here: Show No Mercy > Pleasure to Kill.
