640 million views on their biggest video and I only just learned about twenty one pilots today. A bit disconcerting.

to be fair that's only 30.5 million views per pilot

hey this thread isn't about the Mayhem vocalist at all! I've been hornswoggled!
oh well here's him doing Priest karaokehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQdi3_AA8l0
I did watch the virtual lap dance video up there and, well, I can't really add to anything that's been said. A quick check of setlist.fm tells me this band has usually played my fav Atlanta venue (The Masquerade) and I'd managed to be unaware of their existence til now.

What do you think of King 810, Van Gorp?

The thing that's interesting to me about this band is that their lyrics are def a frothy mix of knuckle-dragging lowest-common denominator "party" music — a mix of post-NYHC pit mook, Sunset Strip glam metal badboy, and the lazy hip-hop tropes adopted by circa '07 MySpace Los Angeles "scene" bands, BUT unlike, say, Hollywood Undead they are definitely super ugly/extreme deathcore.... So, their lyrics are basically saying "we say the dumbest shit imaginable because want the most fans humanly possible" but their music is saying "this is very precise and well-rehearsed and ugly and off-putting."
Like imagine if it was 1992 and someone did a record where the music sounded like Cannibal Corpse but the lyrics were Winger's "17" and Slaughter's "Smooth Up in Ya." That's the best analogy I can come up with.

That all said, this band is certainly more INTERESTING than, like, Parquet Courts. But I'm not exactly sure I'm ready to call them "good."

I guess this stands up in the sense that Parquet Courts have morphed into a band that could not possibly be less interesting, but at least they don't seem like reprehensible people who deserve syphilis.

Taking into account that I still worked for Roadrunner when they were first signed...I like them. I think David Gunn is a good writer who comes up with some really great lines, and the band is capable of different sounds - they do the ultra-heavy nu-metal thing, but they also do semi-acoustic folk-country material really well. Also I like the fact that they're so relentlessly local and fixated on basically one subject: the shittiness of life in Flint, MI. I haven't heard the whole new album yet but I like the songs I have heard.

They are interesting in a very Chuck Eddy way, like anything mook that has kinda trash aesthetics and is anti respectable and throws around genre signifiers and exists at some nexus of metal and hip hop or electronic and b yh all means most importantly can be used as Whiney just did as a way of tweaking some brand name respectable indie band, but I dunno like in this day and age 21 white dudes being assholes seems like literally the most boring shit ever and morally vacant and honestly this music just fucking sucks

Do you demand respectability and moral responsibility from all musicians, or just young white men?
― Don Van Gorp, midwest regional VP, marketing (誤訳侮辱), Sunday, 25 September 2016 13:54 (seven years ago) link
No but it's like ok limp bizkit with slightly different metal and hip hop influences seems profoundly BORING I'll retract my moral comment because i don't and I feel like you're one post from dropping an "sjw" comment...

Just got the advance of the full album. So far, it's everything I hoped it would be. There's a song called "Let's Get Abducted" about aliens.

They're only playing the Observatory? Smaller venue than I would have thought. (It's theater rather than club sized but still.)

New album out tomorrow. They haven't changed a bit.
This song came out last year and is not on the new album.

I have no doubt that these guys have enough money to live well, but the house in the video looks like a suburban orthodontist's house instead someplace where a metal band in Atlanta would live

I've been to a few modern metal band dudes' houses - they all seem to buy these generic McMansions when the money comes in.

New song sucks. Lyrics, for anyone who cares:
Don't give a fuck about the guidelinesDon't care bout pleasing all of youI wanna watch the fucking world burnI wanna burn you tooPush me to the edge cuz I welcome death
I don't wanna hear that smackI don't even roll like thatRather grab a rope and tie you up no slackBetter get back for I rack your assYou can count on that WHATWanna feel your brains, slice your veinsToss you into the lakeI could take you out with no remorse And bitch I won't even blink
Kiss the bladeBite the curbMaybe we should overdoseSay the word I know you wanna watch me dieWatch me hurtBut legends always stay aliveMark my words
Everything I see is redEverything I see is deadBitch you know I need some headBetter keep me fedBetter make some bread 'Fore I spray this lead UHI'm sick and tired of dreaming about the end I never know what's really real till the Bullet is in my head
All these days spent thinking of deathI'm gonna stab a fucking hole through your god damn chestI want to see you fucking struggle till there's nothing leftI wanna put you in the grave I wanna take your fleshI wanna wear your face
You will never cancel me I know you're just an enemy and if you're not a friend of me then you won't make the end of me You wanna make me fucking breakBut I've got nothing to takeGrab you by the throat and shake Wanna feel your neck break motherfucker whatEEEEEEEEEEEEEGet fucked I wanna smash your fucking face in
