Many of you have likely seen this already. But in the recent past i’ve come across alot of metalheads that seem to think nationalism/skincolor = metal. They can go shove it.
I hope that there will be a wave of new Iranian metal to tell the rulers to go fuck themselves. It’s just a matter of time
New fans gatekeeping? I’ve always seen that more than any other musical culture metalheads welcome anyone and everyone, just so long as you’re respectful and, optimally, LOUD.
Not really any gatekeeping. There is no such thing as far as i can see. Just a bunch of shifting towards garbage like Ultima Thule.
