I have lots of thoughts on this, but I will hold off for now, in the name of democracy

I'm really hoping it's just an hour long dive bomb. Like some performance art collage of Kahler squiggles rivaling the listening experience of an Orthrelm album.

Not yet.

It's fuckin crap.

imagine being apart of 80's slayer and then seeing nu-metal and saying to yourself "this is the way..."

to be fair the singer sounds good. I am not a Death Angel fan because I heard Frolic In The Park back pre-internet and never had any interest to check anything else out, but the impression I get is that I am not missing out on anything crucial.

dudes I am not trying to talk about the musical validity of this nonsense

I am laser-focused on the semantics & ontology around when a person can be a band

King Diamond is the firmest example I can think of - even Danzig is a bit hazy IMO

my litmus test has been: is there a single logo that's used consistently? King Diamond & Danzig are both a firm YES on this. solo artists will stylize their name, sure, but they tend to change it up depending on context. I suspect the KK logo (or logomark?) is probably here to stay. the jury might be out until his second or third record (god helps us all)

wikipedia has a dedicated page for KD the band, but no such page for KK (yet?). metal archives knows what's up, of course - to them, KK is a band.

another key aspect: when you see first name & last name... that's almost never a band. that's a performing artist. I think this is the rubicon KK must cross...

Is Taylor Swift a band?

Or a bimbo?!!??!?!

DIO

Yeah, what’s up with Chris Cornell? Duran Duran and A-Ha used their band name for their respective Bind films.

As I type this Metal-Archives does not have a Kerry King band page, am I reading you wrong because I swear you are saying this is a band? Kerry King said it would be a band in older interviews, but the budget logo and art design scream solo act to me...

He might make it a band, but I still say NOT YET.

I was going off of Kerry’s personal page, which lists “active bands” and has “Kerry King” there, but I agree that this is not definitive (since solo artists would be listed in the same spot)

DIO definitely feels like a guy IMO, not a band, but I can’t back this up

I've always thought "Kerry" was a woman's name. My high school classmate was named Kerry and she snowboarded.

I also had a grade school classmate named "Ariel," he was a fucking asshole.

one of my lifetime best friends is a pretty tough dude named Kerry

Kids with girl names always fought at the drop of a hat.

What's worse for a boy girl name, Kerry or Kelly?

A kid named Casey was an absolute fucking menace in the neighborhood I grew up in. It was a slightly rough place to grow up in, only in the sense that kids would actually hit each other at a certain point in an argument - not really like the suburbs I moved to later. Once a summer someone would go get stitches on their head from a rock-bash, that type of place.

Casey once threw me through a glass door because I told him that the power rangers episode he watched was a rerun, and the green ranger was already a good guy. Fucking craziest thing that happened to me at that point in life. One moment here, the next moment inside someone's house. Kid ran away and i dont even think the owner tried to talk to his parents.

I always thought he was so angry and violent because he had a girl name, but looking back there may have been more going on.

It did teach me not to be a little wikipedia bitch tho, and I'm thankful for that.

are these bands, or guys with albums

I need more solid ground in this realm of shifting sands

sometimes I'm convinced I'm the only one who appreciates the gravity of this situation

man it sucks but i never liked that album or ohmwork. I love Geezer so much and I tried but it was just limp

What if you're a solo artists but have a bunch of guest singer like Tony Iommi did. Solo artist that's also a super group? What is Santana?
