I know I’m going to catch a little hell for them lol.
But fuck me, Courtney with her ethereal clean vocals and bestial growls is a force. Thing is, it takes one fucking great band to hold up to a voice like that.
This is the first song I heard of theirs, though it was The one take version rather than the album/video version.
I’m only a casual metal listener who only really started listening to metal via power metal, but most metalheads I come across seem to appreciate most of the subgenres/metal-adjacent music. I don’t care much for elitism in music either - I’d say a lot of metal fans are quite reasonable and open to new sounds.
I hope more people post some newer bands, so I can discover some new music :)
Yeah, overall metal heads are really cool about accepting that other people can like what they want. It’s a really tiny section that isn’t. Alas, the tiny section is loud lol.
More often than not, metal fans are more about introducing you to what they like, than bashing what you do.
