“Attitude and Consequence”

I know that it shouldn’t matter but when anything is being described as alternative I can’t help wonder what it is an alternative for. This German band’s metal is being described as alternative. I don’t know if that is a fancy way to say that this is another goth metal band or what. Well goth it isn’t. If anything this is pretty modern thrash metal, or is it metalcore? You got the gruff vocals mixed with the clean ones. There are attempts at break beats. But most of all I don’t really care what they call this unless it is good. Because that is what this is. This is good metal, period. That it all that should matter in the end. There is an edge to this that I like. It isn’t as polished as this kind of metal often ends up being. Anders Ekdahl
