As a metal head, I didn’t understand Ghost for the longest time. I didn’t hate it, but “this isn’t metal” was my exact thought, lol. Took me a few tries before I finally thought they were “okay”. Then I went to see them live, and now they’re probably in my top 15 bands.
A lot of fellow metal heads out there don’t like it when music is fun enough to be enjoyed by people who don’t keep a closet full of long-sleeved band shirts. A couple years ago I ran into an old coworker at a Fleshgod Apocalypse show and they got angry when I asked if they were interested in tagging along to an upcoming Dethklok show.
I saw Dethklok and Babymetal together, your old coworker would have hated it.
Dethklok is awesome tho
I love that it sounds like dark 80s pop. I have a friend that I told square hammer was about Freemasonry because he’s a mason. Took like 2 years of listening to it before he really caught the lyrics.
I just watched the music video, and in that context it’s pretty funny. “Wield the square hammer! It is your destiny!” is hilarious
