Uhhh... What?

[Knucklehead]

Holy fucking facepalm. A self-appointed music and cultural expert discusses metal and homophobia.

Who the fuck is Emmure?

Sure, Priest was making music, but can you name all of their post-Painkiller albums off the top of your head? No cheating, no Googling. I sure can't.

what a fake faget. faket.

I saw Rob Halford's side project, 2wo, in the Netherlands at the Walkdrock Festival in 99(?) just after he came out of the closet. There were folks in the crowd yelling "flikker!!!" (Dutch for "faggot"). I turned around and said to them, "He doesn't know what you're saying!" One guy said, "I don't care" and kept on yelling "flikker!!!" at Halford.

Not sure if this article is written by someone who has no clue and never did any research and doesn't know what he/she is talking about....

....or is possibly a troll article.

I think the article is very true. Metal has always been very macho and until the 2000's guys pretty much had to keep their homosexuality quiet. Kinda like in sports. I remember when Sebastian Bach wore the "AIDS kills fags dead" shirt. Metal wasn't very open to homosexuality until the last 10-15 years. And honestly this is likely more of a first-world acceptance. I doubt that in latin/south America or in some very conservative Asian its as accepted.

Never assume that others think as you do.

Emmure are the fine gentlemen who brought you this merch:


The merits (or not) of this article notwithstanding, Emmure is one of the worst bands. I like the occasional lunkhead shit but I'll take slam death over ... whatever the hell Emmure do.
