Since metal is the majority of what i listen to, and for the most part, always has been, this thread has been the source of much mirth, bewilderment, and a couple bits that made me laugh out loud they were so rediculous.
ACDC is metal because of "devil" imagery? Robert Johnson was METAL AS FUCK.
Those who have heard Ash Pool might agree with the Prurient/metal connection. While Fernow's Prurient material shares the abraisiveness of grindcore or brutal death metal, it's got much more in common (i think) with power electronics and hear me out, hardcore. I don't think the power electronics description is going to ruffle any feathers, but anybody who's seen a hardcore show and seen Prurient do his thing can probably see the comparision. The viseral, furious performance (especially vocally), is mostly drawing upon hardcore influences, but i could be wrong.
