The ridiculous hype this band garners is hardly commensurate to what they offer. I guess one man's gimmick of contrivance is anothers genius marketing.
Or maybe it's refreshing to hear catchy, straightfoward hard rock like this for once. Maybe their music is actually good, but not your taste.![]()
de gustibus non est disputandum, eh?
I like plenty of straightforward hard rock and my tastes are all over the map. And I certainly don't think they suck. NOR AM I HATING ON ANYONE FOR LIKING IT. (I like Nightwish for fracks sake) My annoyance stems from the amount of hype and pub they get, the contrived nature of it, and the lemmingdom that follows. (I can't be the only one who's noticed this?) I mean there's certainly not a dearth of catchy straightforward hard rock out there to choose from...
I guess it's just the mix of everything.
-Straightforward rock
-Powerful atmosphere
-Cheesy satanic lyrics outside of black metal
-Church organs![]()
