Aussie Reacts To French Metal: I was left stunned! 

@@Vittyverty thanks! Yeah I must admit I’m surprised by how good it is, new favourite I reckon 🫶🏻

@@ricardogomes13 oh thank you!! I’ll have to check them out

I must admit I thought about what I had said about them sounding like Motörhead- maybe that wasn’t the best example, some small similarities maybe but I’m sure there’s a better reference I could have used haha

@@Spangelaa a lot of bands are heavily influenced by Motorhead so it's not like it isn't in some way applicable. It's just that the sound follows 20+ years of development and in-between stages until you get to the likes of Cenotaphe. Motorhead added real speed and aggression to metal/rock from the late 70s on and those hallmarks become so popular in the extreme forms of metal because of them.

@@mjwoodroff8446 in your opinion is there a band that Cenotaphe sounds like? Yes to everything you mentioned about Motörhead, love their aggressive heavy sound that paved the way for many. My dad lived in the same area as Lemmy at one stage and saw him all the time, he even offered my dad his crusty greasy sunglasses 🤣 my dad politely declined but I wish he would have said yes!

@@Spangelaa Mayhem (Freezing Moon), Darkthrone (Transylvanian Hunger), Enslaved (Fenris). Basically most black metal that emerged from Norway in the early 90s. Other Norwegian bands: Ulver (anything from Bergtatt because they go through crazy evolution in their later years, which you can check out after) Emperor Ihsahn (a former member of Emperor) Immortal Abbath (a former member of immortal) Dimmu Borgir Kvelertak Borknagar Leprous Windir

There is also Burzum but you may choose to avoid it. Personally I've only listened to Filosofem by Burzum and it's fine but the man behind Burzum, Varg Vikernes, is extremely controversial (imprisonment for murder and church burnings, extreme right-wing views). Not that some of the other Norwegian bands aren't controversial; Mayhem (of which Varg was briefly a part of), Emperor. In fact, just check out the history of the above listed bands/second wave Norwegian Black Metal and if there are any controversies that put you off listening to the music then fair enough. You may want to do this full stop going forward because people will list anything they like and some of it may have controversial backgrounds. At least it would then be your choice.

Haha yeah I think so too I have a love hate relationship with them lol

@@Spangelaa you're Supergirl then

😂🙌🦸‍♀️
