    Closest thing to shoegaze I've listened to is Sunbather and that doesn't really have a negative tone to it imo

    You should change that.

    I wouldn't say a lot of shoegaze has a negative tone the same way a lot if metal does, but it's not exactly as uplifting as post-rock. The most negative shoegaze ever reall gets is resembling the feeling of getting with a chick you don't give a shit about when you're looking for the lost affection you had with some one else. Like it's got a warm, dreamy embrace, but they're sad about some shit. Kinda melancholy. And xeno, if you've listened to Alcest, you've listened something way more shoegaze than Sunbather. Deafheaven is really mostly a black metal/post-rock hybrid with the walls of sound shoegaze is known for.

    Hopefully that kinda made sense

    Tried out the Lantlos. Didn't care for it much. I think the new Alcest is way better actually. I will agree the new Alcest is nowhere near as good as the previous album, but it's still good.

    I don't even know what you just said....


    I personally think The Satanist is their most well written album, it's their only album I'd probably buy the CD for.

    Evangelion faggot

  • ...... Posts: 31,548 master of ceremonies
    Evangelion had a few really good songs, but The Satanist is a better album in it's entirety.

    for some reason I thought the show for a minute. Then realized we're  still talkin Behemoth. 

    I thought The Satanist was really overrated.
