Oh no, the fascist crybabies had to delay their shitty album because they got their rights stripped from them.

"official release dates are for nerds"

Damn, the cringe is real!

If it wasn't for their racist lyrics, only for their musical quality absolutely no one would give a shit about this band. They are mediocre at best and the only reason they stand out is because the community is full of nazis trying to sell you that they are the best melodic death metal band in the world and that they have the best riffs when it's not even close to reality. Arghsolent and Grand's Belial Key are the Infowars of metal, they only do shit and their brainless conspiracy fans will try to convince you that they are the only ones doing justice in the business.

This. At the end of the day they are just another mediocre metal band that uses racism to be popular amongst certain circles.

Listen to Grenadier instead

Iron maiden for racists

The band's good riffs are overshadowed by their awful lyrics.

I must be the minority (err...)

I like Arghoslent quite a bit musically but you only have to look at the complete lack of interest most (not all!) of their fans have in similar groups (a la Armoured Angel, Amorbital, Mi'Gauss, etc.) to see why they get spread around. It's the controversy that people love to dive into, not the riffs. Their lyrics are also the only reason they ever had any sort of label support or promotional power. Drakkar certainly wasn't signing any other similar bands at the same time!

Mi'gauss is fantastic... no reason to listen to Arghoslent when that band exists.

Actually second post cuz I just listened to a song, but what's the whole story about the racist part idk I just kinda combed through the lyrics of the incorrigible bigotry album but it didn't seem overly racist to me, like idk I just didn't really see any racist lyrics at least not on that album they didn't really seem specific so I kinda wanna know the story I'm curious

The pitch brutes lived

Edit: idk I did reread the first song, but it more so sounds just like a cold description more than anything, I just didn't get the sense it's either celebrating it or condemning it, and I don't think you need to condemn something horrible to be in favor of it, it's kinda like angel of death more than anything, do the band members have these views?

etc etc. I think the pearl clutching over bands like this is silly but they're definitely pretty racist. They're not stealthy crypto-racists hiding their point in layers of metaphor, they're just using words over 2 syllables to convey a pretty direct point.

Oh I see like by stressing the word it's making a point to call them that specifically I get that.

Cuz just reading it, I think it's just generally too open ended, like more just a very harsh description of it, but yeah what you said makes sense to me.

Musically it was actually better than I thought, I kinda expected it to be fruity for some reason, but it was ok, I thought it was a little too punkish I guess, but I didn't think it was terrible.

It kinda just makes them fucking idiots more than anything like they could've just changed that part, it's like why did you do that, you're describing slaves on a boat why are you stressing to specifically point out they're animals? Unless they're just singing from a slaveholders perspective but I'm not clear on that, In a live setting it would definitely appear to be the bands point of view, it's just dumb as shit to me why they had to do that.

It's just a bunch of morons that are blaming the people who are held captive, it's a very dumb point of view.

If they were smart they would just claim it's from the abusive person's perspective, but if they actually think that way obviously they're not very smart to begin with

There is a band called Ares Kingdom which is similar to Arghoslent in terms of style but without any racist overtones. They are actually quite good.

Finally! Can't wait!



Yeah, listen to a 1:1 clone that is named after said "nazi band", who are also on the same label that reissues albums of said "nazi band", while playing at the same "racist festivals" as, again... said "nazi band" all while the members wear merchandise of, again...*checks notes*...said "nazi band".

Sorry to burst your bubble, but looks like you're not up to date on your "sketch-band" list.

If you were playing black metal in America in the 90s, you're a bit prescient by default. If you were playing American black metal in the 90s and DIDN'T just sound like Von or Judas Iscariot or I Shalt Become, that's extra interesting. Trying to diminish GBK's impact is ridiculous, and 90% of the time, it's obviously ideologically motivated. No one really sounds like them. There's a lot of overlap with the people making these arguments and sort of people who unironically argue Burzum and Graveland aren't important to the genre. Gimme a break.

I'll admit I'm not such a big fan of Arghoslent, who I always saw as GBK's cheesier, not-so-good little brother band. (Other than their first album and demos, which all slap)

On the other hand, Arghoslent, despite their originality, are not anywhere near as influential nor will they ever be
