Does anybody want to take over PopMatters' metal column? The dude who's been writing it for a while is stomping off in a snit because people got pissed at him for telling them they were devoting too much time to rooting Nazis out of metal.
I've decided to can MetalMatters. It has become apparent to me over the last couple of days that it is a waste of timing running a feature that exists to promote cool music. Simple reason: all folks want to do is bicker about politics on here, suppress any opinion that doesn't...— Dean James Brown (@reus85) April 3, 2019

wanna share it, anyone? i'm serious. i'd love to pitch 'em on a team of people taking it over.
it looks like others were writing it with him ... wonder what their status is.
after he posted that, the eic at popmatters tweeted "actually, we're keeping the column" ... but it looks like she might've deleted that?

tt listens to far more metal than me and would probably be even better of a team member if she can be persuaded

like...there's no Vasemman Kaden Hierarkia there but I think it's a much more consistent and dynamically-structured album than anything they've put out on their own. it's stunning imo
― PPL+AI=NS (imago), Friday, 5 April 2019 08:09 (five years ago) link
Hmmm yeah I was a bit more dismissive than I ought to have been, though I stand by my point, I just don't like it as much as I'd like to. The last track alone is undeniably spectacular.

I’d be really happy to assist with this if you decide to approach them! I’ve been idly wondering about starting a metal and prog...blog for a while now, but writing with a team would definitely be more fun! I know I’m kind of a low key poster, but my thoughts on metal do usually amount to more than ‘the new Astronoid album is so cute’.

you are prone to saying things like "a prog masterpiece" unless LJ is hijacking your accounts

I still don't get Neurosis, mostly because all of the shouting, but I'm grateful for their strand of metal. Case in point: the new Inter Arma album, which is more symphonic than 99% of the bands that slap this label on their name.

Back on the topic of power metal, I'm enjoying Ghost Ship Octavius, a new band with people from Nevermore and God Forbid. On the less-theatrical end of the power-metal spectrum, despite what you might assume from the fantabulous name...
