SLIGHT correction. "Its All Coming Back To Me Now" is actually originally by Pandora's Box. A band produced by the same guy who made Bat Out Of Hell by Meatloaf who created the band as an all girl equivalent. That song is their one and only single on an album that failed.
I like Peaches so its cool you enjoyed yourself (I have an...interesting taste in music).
people (...) are into Metal and Black Metal where nudity and Big Pants are not unheard of, being offended by tits would be weird.
Well, IMO some of the most prudish and kropsforskrækkede* people I've seen online have been black metal fans. One guy protested on a video of Carpathian Forest's notorious live in Krakow version of "Sadomasochistic" that the topless "Carpathian dancers" in granny pants had no business being there, as the female nudity was more fitting "in a reggaeton video" (yes, he was South American). Of course, those who protest nudity or sexual themes (or the very presence of women!) in black metal the strongest are often try-hard edge lords who mostly seem to be into black metal for political purposes. *shrug*
I'm off to day two of Copenhell, but will try to comment more on the actual review tomorrow. :)
*Sorry, I couldn't find the appropriate English word. I love this word, it literally translates to "scared of the body" (with an implied "and its functions"). Scandinavians especially love to use it about Americans and their view on sex and non-sexual nudity, which we find terribly strange. It's just a body, FFS! ;) (If there's something that'll make Scandinavians wonder, it's that a love scene between consenting, nude adults will result in a film receiving a higher rating than people being violent and shooting things up.)
I saw that review! Yes, there is a bit of an incel subset of fans that totally miss the point, especially of Carpathian Forest who are all about taking the piss. I saw a thread argument between some fans losing their shit that a female member of a band was topless on an album cover (in an aggressive, non-sexual but very Black Metal way) and other fans saying "well the blokes do this all the time so what is your problem!" Alas, I can't remember the name of the (Polish?) band. Gah. It was a great album cover!
Report back on Copenhell. There are some oldie goldies playing from the looks of things.
Black metal is sadly quite hypocritical in that regard. :( But I guess that's expected in a genre that has such an appeal to a certain kind of socially awkward edgelords (let's be real, there's quite a lot of those in the scene, unfortunately).
I hope to make a (belated) Copenhell-post once I'm on holiday, but it sadly became a rather amputated version due to Covid19 deciding to interfere with me. But I did get to see a good part of a talk between J. Ahonen and Simon Petersen (author of "Punk Life Crisis") before I had to throw in the towel and go home. :) Sorry that the link is in Danish, the publisher doesn't seem to have an English language version of their site
