ok ive see this band 2 times (once in vancouver and once in calgary) these guys are fucken great! and to all you little fairy's that dont like what lord heathen is wear! wtf why do you care about what he wears?? do you like your men in tight pants and pertty hair? shut your mouths you fairys!
The problem is if there that metal they should probaly cut up puppies on stage or something to get there "archetypal satirical, angry and *very* metal" message to enhance. :)
The most important word was satirical. The title "When You Were Shouting At The Devil... We Were In League With Satan" is obviously a play on the Motley Crue and Venom titles. From there, you can find a whole bunch of other references to heavy metal.
How'd you go from denigrating the band as "crappy" to praising them as amazing?
Regardless, Lord Heathen's was the (session) backing vocalist for SYL and the Devin Towsend Band. Furthermore, Synchestra's Safe Zone DVD shows him onstage with Devin. After providing backing vocals on some of my favorite albums and now a third ZH album, I'm lost as to how he has done a bad job. Granted, I haven't seen them live (Yet! Tour Aus, you bastards!), but I have every faith in him and the rest of the band.
Since you're a little confused, I'll introduce you to the wonderful Encyclopaedia Metallum. The Zimmer's Hole page has a section on lyrics you might find informative.
Taking oneself totally seriously is a great way to beat the life out of your music. SYL, ZH and Dethklok (and Faith No More, sorta) are the archetypal satirical, angry and *very* metal bastards, and they've still managed to make great records.
The fashion enhances their message, so they dress as they do. What's the problem?
"OH NOES! Where's the fringe? Where's the tight pants? I can't appreciate musicians who dress differently to me, because we all know dress sense is important in music. OH AND THE BAND SUCKS BUT I WON'T PROVIDE ANY SOLID REASONING WHY :(."
Damn, I don't know what to say. SYL broke up and (sans Devy) made another great band with a different angle. SYL and subsequently ZH are incredibly talented musicians, as their careers in both have shown. Show some respect.
I agree with you on every basis of this comment. And to second the statement that "the fashion enhances the image", well, just look at GWAR, they are amazing, just as Zimmers Hole is, and look how they are dressed on stage. (even though they were jass musicians and dancers from the University of Virginia when they formed as a joke, but that's beside the point)
Precisely. It's not for every band, but some bands do have a stylistic element (generally facetious lyrics, although not necessarily) that tends to work for them. Be it corpsepaint, Korpiklaani's antler microphone and folk garb, or even the standard band shirt, jeans and boots.
I'm sure some even find Akercocke's suited appearance to be a little odd, espescially for a death/black metal band, but it ties in well with their erudite understanding of Satanism, their main lyrical influence.
Must I re-iterate my comment about my non-interference your job at the dockside.... It's tongue in cheek, .... a sensation you should at least be somewhat familiar with.... if you don't like it move on, you're bumin' my high....
Shouting isn't singing? Shit, maybe I shouldn't run distortion on my guitar, lest you declare it a cake while I'm ROCKIN' IT and I am forced to devour my Squire sponge.
Do you actually think about what you type or are you too busy inhaling like an asthmatic crackwhore fornicating with a pig to realize how inherently stupid your argument is?
Fuck off and listen to Job for a Cockfag if you can't appreciate some good solid metal. The music is great, the stage antics aren't important.
Wow i was watching this one live video of them and the elad singer looked retarded he had the chiken microphone and was making chiken noises? Iunno if you think thats metal then okay watever floats your boat
i dont really care what group you label it as or anyone else
they could be funk for all i care but there still always going be better then a guy wearing a devil cutsome wailing his lungs off thinking he has a good voice : \
Yeah, except he does have a good voice. Show me someone in scenecore with a better singing and screaming voice than the Heathen, and I'll show you a plant that grows nails.
Then I'll make you eat it, because you're an insolent bastard. All hail Zimmer's Hole!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
these guys really suck live
like i dont see the whole point of dressing up as the devil with a rubber chicken microphone...its kinda weird id rather go see a real metal show....maybe like white chapel or waking the cadaver or something....: \
finally a wave of good metal bands zimmers hole, black tide, lamb of god ,SYL, mastadon and many more finally are getting big the future of metal looks good
ye monsters is gonna be a fucking heavy bag of hammers, looking for to seeing the big man Zakk and the fucking metal god Halford., wicked fucking line up for the gig too.

Well i mean theres a line to draw when it comes to dressing up like a devil : \
And it actually does if your trying to take yourself seroiusly in the music scene.

Or do i need to get a a crappy band to support my chiken sounds!

So, in summary, your argument is:
"OH NOES! Where's the fringe? Where's the tight pants? I can't appreciate musicians who dress differently to me, because we all know dress sense is important in music. OH AND THE BAND SUCKS BUT I WON'T PROVIDE ANY SOLID REASONING WHY :(."
