This is an actual email from Brendon Small

Subject: hey pal

dear person who didn't sign his or her name,
great review.

a couple things:

feel free to hate anything we do.

remind yourself occasionally: it's only a cartoon.

also you're not the only one who's allowed to like things. other people can like stuff too.

there are many things that fall into many categories that may be sub- sected and chopped up and over analyzed by any online know it all 'career hessian' (love the 'career' part by the way- anyone that has to say it. . . )

and we don't care what you say spinal tap was a great movie and it will never grow tired.

and what's wrong with wanking on guitar? it took me a long time to learn how to do that. sheesh, is nothing safe from you career hessians?

oh you call it slander we call it love- I'm sure we could do this all day. . .

i don't need to tell you where our support comes from in the metal community- i'll let you do that research on your own (should you still be frothing and all) and you can hate all of them as much as you hate us. fine with me.

hipster? thank you grandpa. haven't been called that yet.

you simply writing that article is spreading the word about our low budget crappy show with no advertising. we thank you for that.

i'm sure you're a nice guy, now if you'll pardon me I have a ridiculous 'cartoon' to make and underground metal to fear (to a degree).

cartooningly,

brendon


Brutal's Note: The paragragh below was the response to this email.

Brendon is one of the creators of Metalocalypse, a TV cartoon for morons. He wants us to know that "you're not the only one who's allowed to like things -- other people can like stuff too" and doesn't realize that to someone who understands philosophy or just common sense, this is an idiot argument - an evasion. What if I like killing you? How do we both have it "our way"? What if I like dumping toxic waste, molesting kids, etc. etc. -- at some point, there's a line between truth and falsehood and it's not the bullshit relativism that Mr. Small endorses. Our comments are accurate -- he'll forever be an outsider to underground metal because he cannot accept its worldview, and therefore as an outsider looking in, has only negative comments to make about us to make himself feel better. His "support" in the "metal community" comes from arch-sold-out burn-outs Metallica. Thanks for writing, Brendon. In the time it took to read this, you've come to your next dose of AZT. Never forget your AZT!

hahaha
well, wow... i have to agree with Mr. Smalls
xD
lol
i could understand wat the First guy was saying but the second guy is just umm... f*cking retarded
lol

ITS JUST A F*CKING CARTOON!!!
if anything
the one who is winning is Mr.Smalls

The thread explaining Grindcore (my favorite)

So what is Grindcore?
Heres the Dark Legion Archives definition:

http://www.anus.com/metal/about/grindcore/

"Mechanical self-reduction through slamming destructive riffs that cycle into entropy like a society disintegrating, grindcore is for the purist who will never accept the compromise in personal integrity and morality that is social membership. Its name comes from the grinding aspect of atonal and often chromatic or even-interval power chord riffs, making a type of hardcore that grinds = grindcore. Where purest grindcore is a celebration of life and death with an inherent rejection of authority in favor of existential issues, although the grindcore/thrash genre is often clotted with morality masquerading as "differentness" as everywhere else."

-DLA

Examples of Grindcore music:








Education on what is Grindcore and what is NOT:



If you've got more grindcore videos then post them here. Share your knowledge of Grindcore!!

Brutal, do u listen to any punk rock?
o.o

Interesting question. I havent begun to explore that genre yet. A good friend of mine (who happens to be a dedicated metal-head) has told me that he has embraced the artistic merit of punk music and has recommended it to me. I will start my research on it next year when I start college. Phobia is a grindcore band who is heavily influenced by punk. you should give them a listen.

Phobia?
okey i will
xD
ooooorrrr
u can post some of their music up
;]
LOL
a really good band (atleast they sound really good to me) is a band called NOFX
i will start looking for some of their sh*t to post
lol

Heres the Heavy Metal thread:

http://www.anus.com/metal/about/heavy_metal/

Heavy metal is what started it all, from Black Sabbath onward although the phrase came to mean "anything loud and distorted" in mainstream usage. Its blues and jazz basis, but strange insistence on a neo-classical treatment of modality, propelled this band to the front of a rising new movement. Today the heavy metal genre includes doom metal, who are old school metalheads who play very slowly to depress you.

-DLA

First up? Black Sabbath!







Other bands:









Closer to Doom Metal I think.





If you got more then please post here.

here is NOFX

Finally. The Thrash thread!

This music doesnt get enough attention in my opinion.

Dark Legion Archives Definition:
http://www.anus.com/metal/about/thrash/


Madness of music turned against itself like the disintegration of sense into military industrial suicide in the 1980s, thrash churns up primal angst with short simple blasting songs and charged post-hardcore anticontrol emotion. Formed of blisteringly fast hardcore and metal riffs, this music resisted society and suggested through straightforward logic and basic songs that another way must be found. Thrash and its next generation carryover, grindcore, are more humanitarian than death or black metal.
