How can you tell? I've been watching a lot of videos about metal, and I still can't tell the good vocalists from the bad ones.
Quote:
Ooh, an upside down pentagram. How original.
That's one of my major complaints about metal. The themes metal acts use were horribly cliche by the turn of the century, but they still use them and think it's edgy.
I think you're reading your own interpretation of what they are thinking or trying to accomplish into it and are focusing on relative irrelevancies. I don't think anyone doing Death Metal in the year 2017 still thinks they are being super edgy and shocking by using a pentagram. Michael Amott was in Carcass back in the day, I highly doubt that he still thinks he needs to prove his edgyness by using the pentagram that is on one of the traditional band logos. Arch Enemy are usually projecting a political anarchist and environmental protection message. They have had a pentagram in one of their logo designs, but it's not something that has played a large role conceptually as far as I am aware.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
