I've caught the gist of it from following Profound Lore on twitter.

I've caught the gist of it from following Profound Lore on twitter.

it's confusing the fuck out of people which is pretty funny, and in line with how OMG operate. i fell for the decoy album . though to be honest now that i'm listening to the legit versions this morning i'm glad that the decoy wasn't real. it was good but it felt too cobbled together, it wasn't all that cohesive which makes sense now in hindsight.

here's the 2nd album:

No way fucking Mastodon and Cannibal Corpse albums are better than the new Septicflesh. No way.

[Heathen]

I agree with the inclusion of Dead Congregation, Thou, Thantifaxath, Tombs. I don't doubt that Primordial's album will be great but it's not out yet. I still need to listen to Yob, Panopticon and Teitanblood .

My cat's shit is better than the new Septicflesh.

[Heathen]

Mastodon are awful, I'll give you that.

[Heathen]

[Iprefertheiroldstuff]

Great news.

On Mastodon, the only awful thing about them is the writing and recording of songs that cannot be properly performed live. Ignoring their less than stellar live show, they're a top tier mainstream metal band.

[Heathen]

you forgot the quotes around metal

[Iprefertheiroldstuff]

Are you autistic?

[Heathen]

That sounds like a trick question.

[Iprefertheiroldstuff]

But for real; I hope you were ironically acting precious about what constitutes a metal band. If not, that's some weak sauce.

[Heathen]

It's not about being precious, it's about Mastodon being as metal as Taylor Swift.

[Iprefertheiroldstuff]

I can't tell if you're shitposting to get a reaction or if this is legitimately the extent of your abilities as a boarder.

[Heathen]

I've been wondering the same about Mastodon.
