He is a farmer and a carpenter that is what i like about him and that is most off us. A great common person we are not like the lost sheep in this world we are the real people.

@HarvestHollow Weakling, Velnias, Altar of Plagues.

those 3 are the ones I consider similar to WITTR, not as good though.

@rapmetaldemon09 I'm sure it takes a lot of work and skill to perform like this, but I think that it is too one-note to interestingly reflect darkness. Apart from instrumental music, I prefer vocalized depictions of the sinister found in songs like Radiohead's Climbing Up the Walls (v=qbtZyuOMdHI) or of the desolate in Jason Molina's music (v=Ve67-NhiTuE). I don't think musical depictions of evil should relegate themselves to primordial anger; there's much more to explore.

I love the screaming in extreme metal honestly. I don't like screamo screams but false cord screams are amazing in my opinion. It takes alot of practice, and singing is actually a stepping stone up to it in alot of cases. I think that actual singing in most cases is too pedestrian to properly reflect darkness and evil.

@rapmetaldemon09 I would very much prefer to listen to this track and many others with the vocals simply removed, leaving a high-energy dark instrumental not unlike some post-rock I already enjoy. The screaming is absolutely stupid and obnoxious to me; I can't for the life of me understand how people like this kind of pretense to the primal. I can recommend electronic artists or country-blues songwriters with much more deeply felt grit and darkness than this sort of business.

That's very interesting. I for one couldn't imagine this type of music without the screaming, but to each his own.

@rapmetaldemon09 I really dislike the silly melodramatic screaming that seems to be characteristic of metal. It strikes me as juvenile, silly, and shallow. What I like about this music is the dense melancholy guitar chords and lines, which remind me of, say, Ratatat or classic NES Castlevania soundtracks. I also like the overall projection of this particular song's structure; for instance, the change that occurs at 4:10, which leads into a segment reminiscent of post-rock.

@maskedbugman

screamo? Please tell me you're not one of those people who think any song with a scream in it is screamo...that's a very different genre. And by the way, the screaming is hard. You might say you can do it but if you try it i guarantee it won't sound good. And if you don't think this sounds good, then you REALLY will think you don't sound good.

@internisus

...I think you just blew my mind. I've never heard someone who claims to hate metal enjoy anything black metal lol...I really need to hear the reasoning behind this...I'm really interested for some reason

1:23 the magic begins.

@majorblood87 Just because someone is intelligent, doesn't make them pretentious. Read their lyrics, they are obviously in tune with nature, some some sense of ego.
