Are you am independent band that is looking for reviews? Have you had some skeezbag tell you to pay to play? An AMG review can really get things moving for you. Just ask @Wilderunband or @trialsmusic . So here's what to do instead of bribing skeezbags to review you...🧵1/10

You know I've always thought I was a bad to middling guitarist. Then I realized that this is only because listening to metal means my standards are perverse. The level of musicianship necessary to be considered an okay metal player is absurd. We should appreciate that more.

Hey new followers. I'm AMG. I run Angry Metal Guy dot Com. These days I tweet and an procrastinating my PhD thesis. But we do long form metal reviews and you should read them. We don't advertise. We don't get paid. And we do this all for our own amusement.

Ask yourself this question: “What does Angry Metal Guy, a man who pays money every year to run a reviewing website, have to gain by ‘selling out’?” I run this site at a loss because I want to promote the metal scene and music I love. I earn nothing. Think your insults through.

Hey, so like... being accused of “bringing politics” to metal because you don’t want to support bands with explicitly political perspectives and who might lend material support to extreme political movs is weird. Isn’t the Nazi ideologue the one who’s “making things political”?

Seventh Son of a Seventh Son is the best metal album of all time. It is perfect for start to finish. It has the best writing of the band's career and it is an absolute masterpiece. It's hard not to feel like metal peaked in 1988 when I'm listening to it.

@kidsilkhaze @twitfics I find it galling that they put a repurchase/use limit on a technology that is reproducible and that only costs the initial investment. And then they charge MORE and rate limit digital check outs. Pro-tip: if it's easier to pirate than get at the library, you need to rethink.

But really, Priest is good, but the idea that they were more important to metal or better at anything than Maiden is silly. That the RnR HoF would consider putting Priest in but not Maiden shows how out of touch they really are.

It occurs to me that I think we’re in the beginning of a genuine melodic death metal revival. You might want to save this one and throw it in my face down the road, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t see a turn back towards the sound on bigger labels in the coming years.

Few things are cooler than receiving messages from bands thanking us for mixed or negative reviews. It's easy to be defensive and attack negative reviews, it's another thing to have emotional distance and try to appreciate what someone is saying about your art. (1/2)
