An Open Letter to Metal Musicians,
I write to you today with both love and frustration burning in my heart. For decades, you've given us sonic landscapes that shake the foundations of reality - intricate compositions that weave together technical mastery, raw emotion, and primal energy. Your music paints vivid pictures of apocalyptic futures, cosmic horror, personal demons, and societal collapse.
Yet when it comes to your visual art... we get the same recycled footage of you playing in a warehouse. Black clothes. Black walls. Harsh lights. Maybe some smoke. And yes, always - ALWAYS - those seizure-inducing quick cuts and camera shakes that make even found footage horror films say "whoa, calm down."
My darklings, my chaos-bringers, my prophets of sonic destruction - you're literally writing music about eldritch horrors, ancient gods, and the collapse of civilization. You're composing soundtracks for the end times. Your lyrics speak of dimensional rifts, cosmic entities, and the thin membrane between sanity and madness.
So why, in all the names of all the dark gods, are you still filming yourselves in what looks like your uncle's empty storage unit?
Your music deserves better. We deserve better. Give us visual feasts worthy of your auditory assaults. Show us the horrors you scream about. Paint us the apocalypse you envision. Create the madness you describe.
I know budgets are tight. I know production is expensive. But we live in an age where incredible visual effects are accessible to anyone with dedication and creativity. Your phones shoot in 4K. AI can generate cosmic horror. Practical effects still work wonders.
Please, I beg you - next time you're planning a video, ask yourself: "Is this warehouse the best visual representation of our song about interdimensional flesh-eating demon gods?"
With eternal darkness and undying hope,
A Devoted Fan in the Void
P.S. If you must use the warehouse, at least summon something in it.
Experience the raw power of "Shatter the Silence"—a death metal odyssey delving into themes of betrayal, justice, and empowerment. With aggressive riffs, pounding drums, and visceral vocals, this album exposes hidden evils and calls for unity against oppression. Each track is a rallying cry to break the chains of silence, transform pain into strength, and rise together with voices that cannot be denied. Join us on this sonic journey where truth is unveiled and justice stands on our side.
