    I have been a serious amateur Black Metalist for over almost 25 years and Sunbather is one of the best compositions I have ever heard, damn in any genre for that, and props to the hipsters for doing this, whoever that is.

    held my breath and drove through a maze of wealthy homes. I watched how green the trees were. I watched the steep walkways and the white fences. I gripped the wheel. I sweated against the leather. I watched the dogs twist through the wealthy garden. I watched you lay on a towel in grass that exceeded the height of your legs. I gazed into reflective eyes. I cried against an ocean of light.
    Crippled by the cushion, I sank into sheets frozen by rose pedal toes. My back shivered for your pressed granite nails. Dishonest and ugly through the space in my teeth. Break bones down to yellow and crush gums into blood. The hardest part for the weak was stroking your fingers with rings full of teeth..
    It's 5 A.M...and my heart flourishes at each passing moment.
    Always and forever.

    It's hilarious that so many people think this band is terrible. Sunbather is a tremendous album, forget genre, ignore looks, just listen to the MUSIC! If you don't like it because it's not black metal, fine, go listen to some black metal. just remember a black metal band without corpse paint are just posers. And if they record with anything other than a 4 track cassette recorder they are sell outs. #realblackmetal

    • @darkokubra
      @darkokubra 10 років тому +14

      ***** I never claimed Sunbather was a death metal or a shoegazer album (whatever the fuck shoegazer is). I just made the point that people that get stuck worshiping a genre and disliking anything that doesn't fit in their own idea of what the genre is, or who the artists look or act, miss out on some great music out of pure spite. And I say fuck them, let them be stubborn and small minded, let them hate a band without hearing because some website or magazine hates them.

    Black Metal and Modern Metal in general has felt stale and cheesy to me for a long time. This band I don't care how you categorize them feels fresh. Another thing that has kept me away from the Metal genre are the fans. They come off as elitists that can't stand change. Anything that is remotely different from what they've heard for years is immediately blown off and labeled hipster.
