Cult Mother and Simpering Cunt
Like anything this type of music isn't universally bad. However I find more and more that it feels like a niche thing or club that people like not because of the music but because it's the "cool" thing to do in their social group.
It honestly isn't more technically sound than any other music, it's not more complex or offering anything new or really unique. It's capitalizing on a theme from previous versions of the genre.
Like rap and hip hop. It's derivative and mostly easily forgotten. I'll stick to Van Canto and Older Metal or even newer metal that does honor to staying within the relative theme of older metal.
I love Van Canto...I still am waiting for them to play a little bit closer to the dutch boarder.
