Metal Lords was a p cute movie. and i got thoughts and idk who to tell

im a metalhead and i dont think even id like to hang with hunter as he is in the beginning. I know a lot about the bands i like but im excited about telling my friends about em, not trynna make em feel bad and like they gotta catch up

hunter is a shit head kid tho and defo is still learning to be a person and of course has totally grown a bunch by the end of the movie. (still got growing to do but that the journey of life all the way thru) Speaking of shit head and doing a full send into bad person territory; the number of slayer shits is totally a red flag but i was glad they didnt play any of their music. having the shirts does make sense for the character, hes been into metal for only a few years and they are huge and an intro for lots of people.

i feel like the vibe’s so different with different sub genres because i like power and folk mostly. so I like dumb funny bands and so do my buddies i talk metal with. even with death metal i only listen to the bands i know were a bunch of nerds having fun not taking themselves WAY too seriously (if you know who im talking about apparently he still hasnt chilled). i was stoked to see dnd in the movie because the overlap between those groups is a big one. more in the metal heads like drama and gravitas and pretend direction than the dnd peeps like metal way i think?

speaking genres. its a funny scene to say theyre a post death doom metal band but i dont think they are? they play too fast to be doom. the lyrics and tone could be doom there’s definitely despair and distortion but its doesnt distort in the way i think of doom. I’ll admit im not an expert, the closest i get to doom in my everyday listening is sludge metal so maybe im being to harsh in looking for a thicker sound

almost all the bands on the poster who clearly are influences on the band are heavy metal, thrash metal and NWOBHM. (the official netflix playlist on spotify also is these genres) hell he’s even got a Ghost BC poster and they’re rock, metalheads just like their spooky vibe. there is a Black dahlia and two other posters i couldnt read which probably means death metal. but the point is most of their influences are Heavy Metal and that comes thru. as Lordi would say “Now this is heavy metal!”

the story itself is good too but i just got that much to say about it. got a good moral? its most metal to be confident in yourself and not just conform to what the stereotype of a metalhead is because that’s still basing yourself on others. be nice to people cause if your being a dick why do you think your any better than that jock whos also a dick. 

its a coming of age movie with a banging sound track.
