I realise it's the Guardian so what do you expect but thought would share this all the same.

Will Heavy Metal be saved by the wokerati? I've never heard of any of these bands but that could just be me.

What an absolute load of bollocks i would like to strangle whoever wrote that

I had no idea Life of Agony still existed. They were no great shakes back in the day.

[Eoin McLove]

Life of Agony were deadly.

Seems to be loads of Metal Hammer sort of bands. It's for the generation coming up now so it naturally means fuck all to old cunts like most who post here. A mere trend that will be big for five years and then back for another spin in 20 (like nu metal). If some of these woke kids grow up a bit and find the good stuff there might actually be a future for good underground metal. Sure look at me. I was into as much shite as good stuff in the 90s and now I'm single handedly saving Irish metal from itself. You're welcome, by the way. Pack of fucking ungrateful bastards.

My wife sent this article to me today.
Everything about it is what’s wrong with that newspaper.
Life Of Agony are excellent. A band I never got to see live.

I'm amazed that 'sieg heil' has been used as a verb, describing Phil Anselmo 'sieg heiling'... Surely there's a better way to write that?

[Blackout]

There's a market out there for Anti-Woke punk bands. I'd call mine Fuck your Pronouns.

[Carnage]

Vile Creature are excellent, but super woke and nice and inoffensive. Thou are also great, if a bit samey. Their ERR collaboration is splendid.

Never thought much of LOA, I have the first album here somewhere on tape, I doubt I gave it more than two or three spins.

Ban this fucking thread already.woke my arse.

[Blackout]

woke my arse.

Great name for a band

I tried reading that article and got as far as family blah blah and everyone is welcome in the pit. This has nothing to do with me, nothing to do with my youth. Never heard of a pit when I was sixteen . Stand and bang your head with pint in hand. Pit me hole. 

[Carnage]

Pit me hole.

Another good name for a band.
