13423269, Does Animals as Leaders count?? No singing but since Abasi's guitar Posted by kfine, Mon Feb-08-21 02:56 PM
is featured so often that kinda makes him the frontman, ya? or no?
I really like this one by them
The Brain Dance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoeJ-beZcYA
but they def have other more heavy leaning instrumentals like
Kascade https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gerBBFe2jPA

13423722, Wow. ok so I just listened to Mereya by them and Coma's range is insane Posted by kfine, Thu Feb-11-21 10:23 PM
the way he can just switch between progressive v. heavy v. jazz v. hip hop etc even within the same song lol. whoa
Not much of a metal head, and given how long these guys have been around I'm obv pretty late to discovering them. But I'm impressed lol
I think Coma really exemplifies what MEAT alluded to too wrt to vocals
Like, they still sound super metal-y obv but something about Coma's vocals just hits different
Thanks for posting

Hey MEAT—you’re still doing this I see. You’re still slandering me while linking to my benign if unusual statements as though they are damning evidence of racism, when everybody knows that the true racists on okp get honored by immortalization in Damalis sig.. I’ve therefore got an offer for you to bring more light on your accusations:
You compile my *three most racist quotations*, and after I authenticate them, I will put them in my own signature for a minimum of ONE YEAR.
I will contextualize them like this, “Here are my three most racist statements on okayplayer according to MEAT, who has called me a racist at least ___ number of times on these boards.” (I will fill in the accurate minimum number of times you’ve done that using search after you accept).
I will keep issuing this challenge every time you pop up to lie about me on these boards, until you accept or decline.
Let’s expose this issue for all to see. Sound good Pinocchio?

Link a single time that I come into your shit to converse with you. It’s whatever to be antagonistic on the internet. There are zero consequences. But I do illuminate who you have been on these boards anytime you interact with me. So don’t act like you’re a victim of any sort You’re another man interacting with another man who’s not doing any of the “meet me in Temecula” bullshit of digital interactions. I don’t fuck with you. Simply leave me be.

You're a funny dude. Now you're clutching pearls about puffed-up "antagonism", after you've been literally *following me around calling me a racist for years* (living up to your nickname, STALK) while being unable to substantiate this for posterity in my sig?
And don't think we can't see you goalpost-shifting right now btw, to the much vaguer claim that your efforts have merely been "showing who I've been." Weak.
You disappoint me, and probably a lot of people who dislike me as well.
Though don't get me wrong, I'm still enjoying it as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPxg3G1pxQs

I legitimately find you gross and your takes abhorrent. The only reason I spent time searching posts originally is because people were questioning why I was saying what I was saying. Now that there are posts to point to there’s nothing more to say. This isn’t a friendly back and forth. This is the limitations of this style of interactions. My chest isn’t puffed. You’re not gonna goad me into doing more than this.

Is that what happened?
What I believe happened was, I came in to big up a black man's band, got called a racist for the nth time by a LYING PUSSY, challenged said LYING PUSSY to produce receipts, then got predictably cry-bullied when the LYING PUSSY couldn't produce any...

13423969, There’s nothing to prove outside of the multiple years long links Posted by MEAT, Sat Feb-13-21 05:59 PM
You want people to debate why they call you a racist yet consistently show explicitly racism at worst and racial tone deafness at best. That makes you ... racist You a white centric view of the the world and you consistently communicate it to us And the white centric view of the world is racist And rather than even once Over the course of many years introspect on why you’re being called that You instead challenge the idea with genuine offense Meanwhile your unfettered pretense is offensive Your interloping is offensive Your victim hood views are offensive So I use the single tool at my disposal... illumination to deal with you Not ridicule, not harassment, not lying, not even miscontexualizing Linking your actual words and somehow that’s an affront to you. You’re a gross person
I hope that anyone that reads this exchange will cease interacting with you.

The illogic of your position is wild.
Far from me calling "linking my actual words" an "affront", I'VE GIVEN YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO PLACE THE "EXPLICITLY RACIST" OFFENDERS IN MY FUCKING SIG FOR A YEAR!
AND YOU'RE REFUSING!
And me stepping up to defend myself against your bullshit accusations is me "antagonizing a black man", even though the thrust of my comments today is, if you are telling the truth, I will actually amplify your claims, even if the result is me having to leave the site.
You've given us all the greatest hits that make you you today, and for that, I gotta thank you:

13423945, One more thing on the challenge Posted by Stringer Bell, Sat Feb-13-21 03:34 PM
Look I know how you operate.
Your first instinct will probably be to go with a manipulative sort of dodge that goes something like this:
"Look at this racist demanding my Black (sic) emotional labor for free, like a would-be plantation owner," or "Why do white people always make Black people be their own personal Vox explainer article for shit," followed by you failing to ever come through with the quotes...
But consider this: if the quotes are so damning, I'll probably be censored or banned for putting them in my sig, right? It could effectively de-platform me and my "racism".
At the very least, it'll be a scarlet letter that will alert would-be interactees of my racism, whenever I pop up to praise a black-fronted band or something. I would think you would jump at the chance, if you actually believe what you're saying that is...
So stop pulling your pud and pull some quotes, you bitch. You've already got them bookmarked in a folder ffs.

They're also British, and Shingai specifically is Zimbabwean-British... but there's at least one other international band shared (OBGMs) so I'll include in part bc it's not actually that easy to find contemporary (rock?) bands fronted by black women
